For The Plain Dealer.
CHOW WAS MADE A TEMfLAH.v

You ask how I joined the Good Templarr,
The preamble, plot and finale;
If walked upon plates Of hot iron!
Or in modern style, rode on rail!
resisted the pleas of gay comrads
Nne>shafts Of their ridicule braved,
By friend sent in my cognomen,
And .he boon of a membership crayed.
The Lodge took g vote on the question,
With a box full ofbcans, black and white;
The white ones were yotes.of edmission,
The black ones were contrary
Permission was gwen to enter,
I rapidly passed to the hall.
My heart beat a perfect reveilo
As answered the summoning call.
A large beam overhead girt the chamber,
A rope at midway hung in air,
A stout iron hook was in pendant
And beneath it an old oak sn chair.
The hook was passed under my waistband,
rose in the air like flash,
But the rope was to fragile to hold me,
And came to the ground with a crash.
part of my waistband clung to me,
A part flew up over the beam
My nose like puff ball was swelling,
While the Cherry hued tide flowed stream
I furiously glanced round the circle,
The feminine faces to scan,
OF their pity and sympathy certain,
Thoughllaughed at, by hard hearted man
Susie's nose with contempt was upturning
Laura's frame fairly quivered with mirth,
Mary winked with smile at her lover,
How wished could drop through the
earth.
Men are thought to be brave and heroic,
But was no hero-net /;
I thought would give half my fortune,
If only could have a good cry.
What remained now was far less disastrous
And tripping myself of my coat,
| climbed the creased pole like a monkey,
And thrice round rode the old Gout."
Then they badc me eschew all bad spirits
OF ''Hostetters Bitters" beware,
When I'd written my name on the record,
| felt .as if treading on air.

The Kiss by Mistake
Burr Oak, April 18th
BY NELLIE G. G.

''Vill you be at home tonight, Het-
ty? and the speaker, a tall, muscular,
well-looking young farmer reddened to
the very roots of his hair, as though he
had committed some very wicked act
instead Of asking a simple question.
He was hashfnl, extremely so, was
Josiah Hawley; at least in the presence
of young ladies; most of all, in the pres
cnce of the girl he loved. No young
farmer in all the country possessed a
better kept farm, or talked with more
confidence among his compeers, ofstock
and crops, and on kindred subjects,
But a glimpse of some pretty face, or
foot coming IN his direction, affected
him like flash of lightning. Oh such
an occasion he never knew what to do
with his hands and eyes, and always
felt like screwing himself into mouse
hole. How he"ever contrived to ap-
proach Hester Thomas on the subject
of his reference to her, probably re-
mains to this day a'mystery to himself
as it is to others.
But that young lady had quite an a
mount of tact and cleverness slowed
away somewhere in her pretty little
head: albeit, it was set on the dimpled
inexperienced shoulders Of seventeen.
Josiah was worth, in worldly way,
much more than any Of her other suit
ors, good looking and intelligent enough
to satisfy any but an old fastidious per-
son--unexceptionable, in short, barring
his excessive bashfulness, which was a
fruitful source Of merriment among the
people in their little circle.
And so when Josiah, in his awkward
blundering way, began to exhibit his
preference for her in various little ways
such as waiting on her to and from sing
ing school, constituting himslf her es-
cort when she rode on horseback to the
church in the woods, and singing her
out at quilting parties. Hetty took it
all in the easiest, pleasantest manner
