& wealthy old farmer was Absofum Lee,
BE had but one daughter, his misehievezs
So far aad 50 good and so gentle was shes
That lovers eame wooing from country and
The 6rst and DE boldest to ask for her hand
Was trinity dressed dandy who wofshiPed
her tim;
sherepliOd with smile he could well under
stand. ~
"TEat she'd marry no Ape Jey iae sake Of a;'

The next was a merchant from business re-
Rich, gouty and gruE Presuming old
Young Kitty's fair fosm snd sweet face he sd-
miredy
And thought to himself, 81 can easily win
her."
So he showed her his Palaee,and made a blaf
And said said .hemight live there, but viekedly
then,
Kitty told him she long age made rash vow,
"NOt to izsryy q Gear for tie sake gf his
den!"
A miser came next; he was fearless and bold
In claiming hls right to Miss Kisty's affec-
he said she'd not want for n home while his
gold
Could pay for cabin to give her prOtec-
ton!
Half vexed at his boldness, but calm in triee,
She curtseyed, and thanked him, and blush
ingly then
Demurely repeated her sage aunt's sdvies,
"Not to marry hog for The sake Of his pen. /"
The next was q farmer, young. bashful and
shy,
He feared the bold wOOers who came from
the city;
But the flush on his cheek; and the light in
his eve,
Soon kindled flame in the bosom of Kitty,
"My life viii be one Of hard labor ;" he said:
"But, darling, come share it with me if you
ean,"
II suppose" she replied, gaily tossing her
head,
"Imast marry the form for tie sake of the
MGa!''

For he seemed ike child till he went to the

He is twenty I know, and boys younger than

In the ranks going by, every day we can see;
And those stronger and pro1der by far have
met,
But never have seen young soldier as vet,
With 50 gallant nien, or so lofty brow
How the sun and the wind must have dark

How he viii have been changed when he

With his beard shutting out the sweet smiles
of his mouth,
And the tremuIeus beauty, the womanly
grace,

Where, Of late. only ehildhoOd's soft beauty

He was always so gentle and ready to Weld.
And frank, there was netting kept back

He was always so sparkling with hughteraDd

SAYINGS OF HORACE MANx.-As he
was going into one of the dormitOries
on very warm summer evening be
said to some students:-'There is no
air tonight unless yeu sing one.'
The truth is before every one. But
to tell lie which cannot be found out,
Is to invent cover large enough to
cover ITSELF
No fun is honest which is not fun
for both parties
"A man who would be guilty of SO
mean a thing, would for one shilling
exhibit shark which had eaten his
father
IF you want to paint your face all
over with tracks, you nave but to har-
Dor vicious thoughts; but If you want
to be good looking, be goed.'

DEMOCRATIC CoUScILMEN.-The journal of
yesterday gives due notice that the case of the
Democratic Councilmen from the Eighth and
Ninth Wards, already decided twice in their ia
vor by Judge Finch of the Circuit Court, will be
appealed to the Supreme Court by the defendants
the Republican members of the City Council.
Partisan venality and corruption could no further
90. The gentlemen from those Wards were duly
elected by the people. Republican candidates
ran against them. On mere technically, in
which the Democrats elected were in way at
fault, the dominant party in the Council refused
them their seats. They appealed to the judicial
tribunals. An impartial Judge (although Re-
publican) has twice. as we have stated, decided
in their favor, and vet, because election of po
licemen, Fire Engineer and the like. is about to
take place in the Council, by which places must
be provided for Republican partsans pmps and
time servers, in defiance of all law of all decency,
Of ali Justice in defiance of the free electors OF
the Eighth and Ninth Wards; in derison and
mockery of the solemn adjudication of the court,
these Councmen must be kept out of their seats.
although it Is clear and plain TO every citizen that
the final adjudication of the matter will be i'll
their favor absolutely and conclusiyely.
