AT least one man was not greatly over
Joyed at the completion of the India
telegraph. The old Governor of Bonn
bay was raised out of bed in the middle of
the night to answer despatch from the
Prince of Wales, then waiting for it at
London in the broad glare of day. This,
to say the least, was unpleasant; but how
will it be when the whole globe is
spnnned and netted with telegraphic
lines? Eternal dny will rule then. It
will not do for two business men, re-
spectively at the antipodcs, to await the
morning, which will never come, to an
swer dispatches. All hours will be the
same then, and the whole world will be
forced to sleep with ono eye open.

1t is said that experienced husbands
can tell when their wives are about to
ask for money, by tho way they purse
their mouths.

we'll young ladies are versed in gram

mony.

Suoo FLY.-The following is the latest
form of the Shoe Fly epidemic. It is
claimed that it was not written by any
of the authors of "The Beautiful Snow"
Oh, the fly! the horrible fly!
Dabbing at nose, and mouth. and eye,
Over the ceiling, over the meat,
Over all that people eat.
Buzzing, tickling, crawling about;
Damnable insect, you get out!
Wading in paint on lady's cheek,
Leaving behind q tortuous streak.
Accursed fly! From the hell below
Never came pest that plaques us so.
Dancing, nibbling, fresh from the stye,
The estinking stye where the porkers lie.
And even the dogs, with n snarl and
