POPPING CORN.

And there they sat a-popping corn,
John Stiles and Susan Cutter
John Stiles was fat as any OK
And Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn,
And raked and stirred the fire;
And talked of different kind of ears,
And hitchcd their chairs up higher.
Then Susan she The pepper shook,
Then John he shook the pepper,
Till boththeir faces grew rs red
As sauGpans made of copper.
And thenstliey shelled, aud popped and ate
All kinds Of fun a-poking;
And ho haw-hawed at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate,
(John's nouth was like hopper j
And stirred the fire, and sprinkled salt,
Ano shook and shook the pepper.
The clock struck nine, and then struck ten,
And still the corn kept popping;
II struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still noIsigns of stopping.
And John he aye, and Sue she thought
The corn didPop and patter,
Till John cried out. "The corns afire
Why, Susan, what's the matter?'
Said she: "Johnl STILES, it's one O clock,
You'll die of indigestion
I'm sick of all thispopping corn
Why don't you Aop the question?'

Democratic and Conservative voters of New Cas-

MODERN ENGLISH.

It's all well enough to talk about the
last nineteen centuries, but the nineteenth
century is the century after all. Although
immeasurably superior in everything, it
is particularly SO in the elegance Of its
language. To illustrate what is meant,
we saw two young men meet, and heard
them converse. The way it was done,
and the conversation was as follows. For
convenience sake we will call their names
Thomas Green and james Blue:
j. Blue-Hello, Tommie, how's your
dog?
I. Green (extonding his hand Bully,
Jimmie, put it there!
j. B.-Well, Tommie, hOw's things!

ty loud; it amt meerschaum though, for

J. B.-Got it with you?
Il. G-Ke-rect!

But then bust his snoot and wrung hi:

j. B.-Black? You look like Goa

T. G.-Go there yourself! Keep Of

BIZ. Seward Again.


The distinguished Sage Of Auburn
.on Monday made his first speech since
his return from his Arctic visit
that may be construed in any way to
reflect the views he now entertains on
the possibilities of the nation he was SO
long and so ably engaged in engineer
ing through the greatest crisis. He
especially dwelt upon the mission of
the United States to harmon;ze all the
civilization on this continent and to ad.
vance steadily to higher notions, carry
ing our neighbors with us, of the So
cial and political rights Of man. It
NAV be feather in the cap of woman
suffrage advocates to know that his
speech was delivered on the occasion of
the visit of ladies' college; but ow-
ing to the barbarous and medieval no.
tions that prevail in our provinces,
these same ladies were all turned out of
the dining hall when the cloth was re-
moved, and, therefore, before the
speech was made. A number of male
visitors, by reason of being physically
better fitted to drink wine and smoke,
,Glone composed the audience to whom
he addressed his words
Mr.. Seward has always had great,
broad ideas Of the future of this ma
ton, ard we are glad to see that his
sixtYnirth birthday finds. him fully as
broad and grand in his ideas as ever.
He says that the continent is becoming
every day more American; that the
practices and opinions Of the people of
the United States are becoming the
common practices and opinions of the
other States, and that the Christian re-
lisiou and the influence Of the Repub-
lican government are destined ere long
to blend all the governments of the
American continent into one. Mr..
Scwafd is the very best authority from
whom these sentiments could emanate.
He demonstrated years ago his trust in
our manifest destiny, and much later
has helped along the desirable consum>
anation by the purchase of Alaska and
the treaty for the purchase of St.
Thomas. It is pleasant to note that
tho present administration shares in
the grand old statements. ideas of
united continent.

ScRoFULA is a talnt or infection in the hu-
man organism which weakens the vital forces,
and disorders or disarranges the functions of
the whole system. This taint or infection is
most usually hereditary in the constitution, but
it may also arise from habits of life, unwhole-
some food, etc. In time, if this disease does
not show itself in an ulcerous or tubercular
form, it induces those other diseases, such as
consumption, ulcerations of the liver, stomach
and kidneys, salt rheum, dropsy, etc. The best
remedy ever yet discovered is CDR. Walkers
Vegetable VINEGAR BIrTERs." 1t will cure
the disease if not too far advanced, and will
