ligious worship, by the Methodists,
affords us the following: 81
The killing of rats by man, with

most refined Roman ladies enjoyed the
"sports" of the Coliseum, and watched
with interest the fates and struggles

cow or Q famished leopardess. The
man who pits himself against a dog,
or against time, in rat killing, catches
the rats one at time in his hand, and
bites or tears off their heads with his
teeth. He must take the rats head
clean off, or else it does not count.
The rat, of course makes all the fight
he can, and often gets a good grip on
the mans lip, or cheek, or nose, and

the wretch's face sometimes presents.

BY PRuDY.

Come look at the dainty darlingi
As fresh as . anew-blossd rose,
From the top of his head so golden,
To the dear, little, restless toes;
Yol can tell by the dancing dimples,
By the smiles that come and go,
He is keeping wonderful secret
You'd give half your kingdom TO know.
Now kiss him on cheek and forehead,
And kiss him on lip and chin;
The little red mouth is hiding
The rarest of pearls within.
All, seei when the lips in smiling
Have parted their tender red:
Do you see the tiny white jewel,
Set deep in its choral bed?
Now where are the sage reporters,
Who wait by hamlet and hill,
To tell the listening nation
The news ofits good or i'll?
Come weave with your idle gossip
This golden blossom of truth
Just AalfG gear old this morning
And one little pe1rly TOOTH

The CAN-CAN DANCE.-The usually we'll
informed and able local of the Bulletin has
the following:
This egregious dance, or rather distortion
of the quadrille, having gained such motto.
riety, not to say popularity, of late in this
country, whereas few years previously any
attempt to represent it on an American
stage would have net with the condemna-
tion of everybody, has led to the question
what does the word mean?
We are not prepared to establish its exact
origin, but believe that its name is very
appropriate one. Cancan, written AS one
word, and the only way to write it, is q
French word signifying scandalous gossip.
Whether or not the cancan feature of the
quadrille received its name from its scandal
GUS character, or whether it is an onoma-
TOPEKA, resulting from the measured stamp.
ing of the feet while dancing it, we leave to
the conclusion of our querists.
