Parody upon n Parasite,

Oh, dainty nest hath the Gregarine,
In many q chignon fair,
There snugly he hidcth, for combs never clean
The purchased and alien hair.
He plays uumoe,tcd the frisettes amid,
Scarce, save by a microscope seen,
There he gambols at will being easily hid,
Like the fiys on the moonlit green!
Chorus-Crecping where 'tis not quite clean
parasite gay is the Greg glrine.
lie crosseth the ocean, this roamcr gay,
or a dainty dwelling IN quest;
And on many a head will he couch on his way,
Ere he fndeth n quiet nest.
On the skull of n serf he was cradled, may be,
In foul-smelling Russian backs um;
Whence, brought TO bedcck English beauty,
did he
With hosts of his relatives come!
Corus-Crecping where It's rarely clean.
a parasite sleek is the Grcgarinc
But, tho lowly his birth, free entrance he
gains
To the highest society here
On the Queen Of the fashion, in Mayfair who
reigns,
lie dwclls, where no foe need he fear
Snug he sleeps in the chignon which, tho it be
false,
Bra Mess Beauty thinks proper to wear;
I'LL he's walked by the whlrl of gaop, or

When he dances himself III mi -hair.
Ch hru-Crccping where is seldom clean,

VINO ARE TIE Harry lord Byron
said: The mechanics and working men
who can maintain their families, are, in
my opinion, the halpicst body of men.
Poverty is wretchedness but even pow
erty is preferable to The heartless unmean-
dissipation Of the higher orders" Another
writer saySi "l have no propensity to
envy any one, least of all the great and
rich but if | were disposed to this weak
ness the subject of my envy would be
healthy young, man in full possession of
his strength and faculties, going forth in

children, or bringing them home his
wages at night

A LITTLE DELAY FATAL-It is well
known that Julius Cesar might have
escaped assassination in the Senate Cham.
Der, if he had read deliberately letter
put in his hands by one informed of the
conspiracy, The same fact is true of one
or two of the French monarcbs, who
persisted ty the assas-in's knife. But the
delay OF few hours TO open these impor-
lant letters rendered escape impossible.
We have seen the following incidcal be
fore, but it is vouched for by DR.. Nc
Chesney Of Trenton, a reliable authority
The success of Washington, at Trcuion
has been generally considered as the turn
ing point in the war of Independence.
let few persons are aware upon how
slight an event this critical event was
made 10 hinge. On the Christmas eve
when Washington crossed the Delaware,
Col Rahl, the commander of the lIessians,
sat IN private room near Trenton, en-
gagged in drinking and playing cards. A
tory who had discovered the movements
OF the American troops, sent note by
't'N'r'"' " iiIC Soloilti, W itil
orders TO deliver it into his own hands.
The messenger found the way to the
house, and negro opened the door but
refused him admiitance, took the letter
and delivered it TO the Colonel, who wa:
Just shutting fora new game. Supposing
the letter 10 he unimportant, or not stop
ping TO think at all, he went on with his
play. The reading Of the letter would
have ihwaried the design of Washington
But the love of play conquered the Col
onels prudence, and gave success to a
worlhier cause, involving the loss Of his
life and army, and securing ultimately the
freedom Of the colonies.
Little did the Colonel think when he
was shuflllng the cards, that he was losing
the greatest game that ever played among
the nations Of the world.

DON'T RE ENrRAVAGANr.-N the poor

what you do not need. Before you pay
three cents for Jewsharp, my boys as

fore you pay seventy.fvc dollars for a
great coat, young man, find out whether
your lady would not lie just as glad TO
see yon in one that cost half the money
If she would not, let her crack her own
hazelnuis and buy her own clothes. When
you see a man spending two or three
dollars foolishly, the chances are five TO
one that he will live long enough to know
how many cents there are in dollars
If he don't he's pretty sure to bequeath
that privilege to his widow. When a
man asks you TO buy that for which You
have no use, no matter how cheap il is,
don't say yes until you are sure that some
one else wants in advance. Money burns
in some folks pockets, and makes such a
big hole that everything that is put in
drops through past finding.
