A LOVE AFFAIR IN THE LANGUAGE

field Republican
'Optics,' peepers,' 'specular or
gans,' smelling boxes bugles,' clar-
ct jars proboscises,' horns sniff
ters,' potato traps kissers,' cheese
boxes are these phrases to become in
corporated into our literature, through
their damnable iteration in the dailies
Fancy love scene written up as fol-
lows:
Twas night, and the aromatic Ara
bella and the fuliginous Fitzfoodle, in
accordance with previous arrange
ment-play or pay being the word
were seated in the garden. Both were
in excellent condition, and showed the
benefit of good training.
Arabella was little too much in
flesh perhaps, bat Fitzfoodle didn't car
ry an ounce of spare weight, and step
ped smilingly into the ring, looking con-
fdent of winning.
The moon in the far heavens lay
smiling and serene ike bottle holder,
while the stars looked down with their
mild speeular organs, seemingly ready
to act as referees.
A clock in the neighboring kitchen
called time.
Little was lost in preliminary spar
ring; side by side sat the amative am
ateurs grasping each others mawleys.
Indeed, it was a beautiful scene, call
ing back memories of the halcyon day
when the Cohees Chicken had mill
with the Skeneatales Sockdollager.
A counter or two, and Fitzfoodle
nearly got bis left fin around Arabella' S
ribs, bis right still grasping her small
and delicate bunch of ives.
Is your money mine!' asked Fitz-
foodle in tender accents.
No reply was heard; it was evident
that this side winder had knocked the
breath out of Arabella.
But the decentralization was but mo-
mentary q don't see it, she said,
getting her left fin out of chancery.
This was one on Fitzfoodle's mob
He went down on his knees to avoid
further punishment. At this there were
cries of fowl fowl in a restaurant
near by, and the victory was claimed
for Arabella.
But Fitzfoodle refused to give it up,
and both retired to their corners.
Arabella came up looking game to
the back bone Fitzfoodle, notwith-
standing his late punishment, still smil-
ing and confident.
My parents are wealthy he MUIR
INJURED, and again got his left duke in
on Arabella's ribs, and fbbing away
until there was danger of row outside
the ropes.
The fgure?' she gasped.
A peach orchard in New Jersey,
he returned, and with that put one in
on her potato trap, which she returned
with interest on his kisser. Here fol-
lowed lively round of sounding ex-
changes, and it was plain from that
forth Fitzfoodle had the fight his own
way.
Finding it useless to longer hold out,
Arabella now threw up the sponge,
closed her lovely peppers, and reposed
her curly knowledge box peacefully up
on Fitzfoodle's manly breakfast, utterly
regardless of the fact that huge mos
quito had tapped her bugle and was
drawing the ciaret at fearful rate.
