A IIappy Suggestion.

A Michigan editor who had received notice
from three of his subscribers to ''stop their pa
pers''-two on account of the "hard times" and
one because he 'did not like the style of treat
ing political subjects in his parer," thus seconds
the move of the last mentioned "Let us get
mad at each others "style''--stop taking each
others papers, stop advertising and trading with
each other; growl like bull pups when we pass
each other destroy each others business and
when destroyed sow grass ed on our street, and
when it is grown destroy that too, so that we may
nil have hand in making each other miserable" ="

In the vale where dropping willows
Slow and silent wavo,
Where the winding stroamlet murmurs,
There they made her grave.
Whe thcr sweet repose Of nature
In her beauty dressed,
Wooed tho pensiyc autumn sunshine,
Didst thou sink to rest.
Calm MS summers midcst scph yrs
Came thy quiet sleep,
And it bowed our hearts in sorrow,
Silent tears to weap.
But we know an angel message,
Badc thy spirit go.
Leaving all thy sole held dearest,
