jim SMILEY'S JUMPING PROG.

Well, this yer Smiley had rat-terriers,
and chicken cocks, and tom cats, and all
them kind Of things, till you haudt moth
inc for him to bet on but he d match you
h ketched frog one day and took him
home, and said he calculated to educate
him: ard so he never done nothing for
| .hrce months but set in his back yard
and learn that frog to jump. And you
can bet he did learn him too He'd give
him little punch behind, and the next
minute you'd see that frog whiriing in the
air like doughnut-see him turn one
summerser, or maybe couple if he got
good start, and come down fat footed
and all ri ght like cat. He got him up
so in the matter of ketching flies, and
kept him in practice so constant, that
he'd bail fly every time as far as he
could see him. Smiley said all frog
wanted was education. and he could do
most any:hing-and l believe him.
Why, I've seen him set Dan'l Webster
down here on this foor-Dan u Webster
was the rame of the frog-and sing out ::
'Flies, Dan'l, flies" aud quicker'n you
could wink, he'd spring straight up make
a fly off the counter there, and flop down
on the floor again as solid as a COB of
mud, and fall to scratching the side Of
his head with his foot as Indifferent as If
he hadn't no idea he'd done more than
frog might do. You never see frog so
modest ard straight forward as he was
Aud when it come to fair and square
jumping on a dead level he could get
over more ground than any of his breed
you ever see. Jumping on dead level
was his stronghold, you understand, and
when it come to that, Smiley would ante
up money on him as long as he had red.
Smiley was monstrous proud of his frog,
and well he might be, for fellers .hat had
travelled and been everywhere said he laid
over any frog that ever they see.
Well, Smiley Kept the beast in little
lattice box, and he used to fetch him down
town sometimes and lay for a bet. One
day feller-a stranger in the camp, he
was-come across him with his box, and
says:
"What might it be that you've got in
the box 2"
And Smiley says, sorter Indifferent like,
"lt night be a parrot, or it might be a
canary, maybe, but it ain't-it's only just
frog"
And the feller took it, and looked at it
carefully, turned it round this way and
that, and says, "Him--so tits. Well,
what's he good for %
Well" a:nily Gays, easy and careless,

W0MAN'S TRUE BEAUTY.

StIett poetrp.
THE HOUSEHOLD PET.


Well hath the poet said that Death,
With ghastly mien and his chilling breath,
With his icy hand and his heart of stone,
Hath every season for his own.
There's no escape from his poisoned dart
Twill pierce in its flight each throboing
heart;
Fen nov the bow and the string are set,
And the shaft is aimed at the Househ old
Pet.
She struggles now with the monster grim ;
Her cheeks grow pale and her eyes grow
dim;
Her sttenuate form is racked with pain,
And efforts to save seem all in vain;
They are in vsin-she is going fast;
Her form is chill-ehe has bresthed her last,
'Tis solemn fate, but it must be met
Fen by the little Household Pet.
She is gone we never shall see her more,
In her childish sports, as oft before;
No more shall look in her sparkling eye,
No more shall list to her sweet bye-bye;
The soul has gone to its rest sfar,
Perchance to dwell on some distant star;
Of all she was, naught remaineth yet.
Bat the dust Of the Household Pet.
She has gone from earth with its pain and
care;
She's safe in a realm that is bright and
fair
And It's cheering to us who linger here
To know that her way to heaven was clear !;
But yet it is hard to give her up,
And the hand is slow to take the cup,
And hearts arc bleeding and eyes are wet,
For the little, playful Household Pet.
Adieu sweet child it is thine to 60
And ours to remain a while below
Ours to lament that thou art dead,
And strew with flowers thy grassy bed;
But while we grieve, twill be sweet to know
That our heavenly Father ordered SO;
And that, how deep may be our regret,
i: is well with the little Household Pet.

drown your unhappiness in dissipation.-

of Lies to hate your case, if you are made
of the right kind of stuff, it is not des-

have no difficulties which an honest, de-

The ieller took the money, and started
