A School Girls SoliloquY.

This going to school is wretched bore,
Over stupid lessons to puzzle and pore;
From nine in the morning till nearly four,
IT'S example, exercise, recitation.
Till tired and cross-brain in whirl-
If our feelings to view we dare unfurl,
TITS only hear, "Be patient, girl,
You must have an education"
Here's mathematics, so dull and dry,
Which we must MASTER can't see why
Quite smother my patience won't DENY,
In WEAKNESS and veXatlon
A minus x, plus and c,
A pretty story enough, maybe,
But its beauties are such as cam see,
Though part of my education
Then optics, acoustics, galvanic trash,
Tn the mind of a tyro, make such hash,
That one is tempted to say things rash,
By mental gravitation.
If the natural sciences, one and all,
Were at the top of the Chinese wall,
shouldn't worry lest they might fall
Where I wouldn't have to swallow them all,
As part of my education.
Je ne sails pas what charm may be
In the Frenchmans tongue. Ego amo tie,
Can't say to Latin, or, lch liebe, Sic,
To German peroration.
Let those who will extol such stutf,
But, as for me- it is quite enough
To make my temper when smoothest rough,
That such things are education.
And then bad Friday, nobody should
Be absurd enough to preface good,
A day whose name so long has stood
Synonym for tribulation -,
The day that SO often gives US blues,
And makes us feel queer from hat to SHOES,
For fear that somebody will abuse
Composition or recitation. ---.
'Tis true we might have deal of fun,
But by the time we have well pegun
To do such things as can be done
In a schoolroom for recreation,
Our troublesome principal, naughty man,
Is pretty sure to invent some plan
To spoil our sport, as he always can,
To advance our education.

What each imp meant-Imp- each-meut.
Whv is It useless to run race against time
Because time flies.
When does man have to keep his word
When no one will take 1t.
Why are Odd Fellows like sausages? Be-
cause they are linked together
Twenty-four grains make one pennywelght.
One dram makes fifteen pennies 60.
When a burglar is robbing bank, he feels
the most nervous when he feels safe.
It is hard to live without wife-no gentle
heart to get up cold mornings to build the fire.
The song of the repentant husband after
knocking his wife down-"Come rest IN this
bosom, my own stricken dear.
A little girl having heard her father call her
Younger brother little shaver" and desiring
TO use the expression, could come no nearer to
it than, "Oh, you little barber shop!"
An exchange says niger woman in New
Orleans bought skyrocket under the impress
sion that it was an ornament tor the hair, IN
which position she wore it until sagacious ur-
chin touched it of.
The following is recommended as receipt

There is good story of citizen who used
to 20 home late, slightly inebriated, and take a
lunch usually set out for him by his considerate
wife:
"One night, besides the usual dish of cabbage
and pork, she left wash bowl filled with caps
in starch. The lamp had long beenextinguish
ed when the staggering sot returned home, land,
by mistake, when proceeding to satisfy his hun
ger, he stuck his fork into the wrong dish. He
worked away at the mouthful of caps very pa
tiently for some time, but finally, being unable

WORKMANSHIP
they cannot be excelled. Their action is con-

None but the best seasoned material is used in
