Our Shanghi editor is married man
"A oery married man. keeps two cows,
calf hens, hens husbands. Faust horse,
dog, gay sleigh, and sich like quadru-
pods. He believes in having milk in the
family; and verify twould please thee to
witness the farmatorial airs he puts on,
and the editorial airs he puts off as he
goes forth like flower. and runneth a
mong the hens and milketh ye bovines.
Belike his dignity went rapidly down

herself certain pleasant habit extend
ing hinder hoof with a yank.
Editor sat beside lacteal glands, pail
claSped twixt his knees, and thus en-
gagged in tcat squeezing, he was heard to
utter, in very solemn tone: "Kick not
that ye be not kicked. For with what
violence yo kick ye shall be kicked; and
with what measure We eat from, it shall
BE- swatted over your countenance. -
Anon the hoSsy kicked liked forked light
ming, laying out Shanshi Chtnaler fiat
ON his back, completely painting him
with fonmy COW juice, dipping his hat
far to the lecward, jomming up the tin
milk pale like stepped on stove pipe,
snd causing a white editor to spout milk
from his nose like a porpoise,
And then the wall that was heard ives
this; She hath lain my confidence waste
and barkcd my shin; she hath made the
milk pail clean hasty aud east the milk
away, the from. of Shanghl is made white,
Howl, all ye little families F! BELOW,

heavens vault should crack! 'Tis gone
forever, twill come no more; never,
never Break, heart pray thee break
I'm very much disguised. I'm body
demnition cold, wet, kicked, unc'ean,
unpleasant body"
So saying. he smotc the COW with a
terrible curse, Darn your skin !" Then
kicked her just one kick, with such force
that he said he had driven his toe.naiS
close back to his heels, and went in and
asked Mrs. Editor to wash him off. Selsh
