With the daintiest Of maidens within II,
And lily-white fingers TO pressY
Or softly TO lift stray ringlet,
That floats DER bosom of snow.
Or to peep into eyes that are glancing
From darkly fringed eyelids belowY
Or to see lust beyond where she's sitting
A something you ought to repair,
And pass your arm round her and fix it,
And then forget your arms there;
Or, just in the fit Of abstraction,
To tell her there's something you miss,
And while she's helping you to find it,
To steal from her mouth a sweet kissY
And as she's reproving you mildly,
You draw in your arm rather tight,
And tell her yOu' re sorry you did II.

SLANG SONGS AT SCHOOL.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune is some what shocked at the
slang songs which he recently heard in
attending Il grammar school. One
piece was "Act on the Square, Boys"
describing an experience with a ''peel-
err" who arrested them after a high old
night, with ground games" round Ia
bles, and the circus! Then came ia
vorite minstrel air, set to the words. "a
Broadway Toff." Here Is this verse, to
be shouted in concert by 500 boys in
alsetto:
~ need not say that of the girls
Pm passionately fond,
And at this time il is no crime
To love an English Blonde,
And she, think, is rather struck
With this superior tof,
And thinks, exactly like myself,
That Pm Immensikof.
CHOrus-BehOld in me Broadway 'trff,'
toff, a toff, toff,
Broadway toh,
And think myself Immensikoff."
OF couase, every verse was sung, and
the chorus repeated Ppp, Next in order
was ''The school of Jolly Boys, oh ~
Here is the chorus of every verse:
.And they always seem SO jolly, ohl
So jolly, OH so jolly, oh! so jolly, OIL
And they always seem so jolly, oh!
Wherever they may be.
They dance, they sing,
They laugh, ha, .hn! they laugh, ha, ha:
They dance, they sing, what jolly boys are
we.
Fal la Ia, faIla la,
FaI la la, fal la Ia, fal la Ia,
Fal de the raj, de the raj raj Ii do.
Slap, bang! here we are again,
What jolly boys are We"
Then came captain Jinks," "Not
for joe" and other bits of uuadultera-
ed slang. Cannot our musical educators
do better than this?

A QUICK CENsUs.-England is max
ing preparations to take the census of
the entire British Kingdom in single
hour. The system by which the work
is to be done is interesting. The King
dom is divided into small districts, in
each of which is appointed an agent.
During the four days preceding the
second of April these agents distrib-
ute to every household within their pre-
cinct blank form in which the age,
birthplace and occupation of every per-
son beneath the roof may be accurately
jotted down. At midnight-on the sec
ond of April the census is to- be taken.
No person dying before that hour is to
be included, nor any child born after it.
The districts are so small that the col
lectors can collect all these blanks in a
single day, and they will be footed up
and telegraphed to headquarters like
election returns. By this method the
British Kingdom can have its ceBsns
taken, footed up and published within
three days. The enumeration is ex-
pected to show III England, Wales and
Scotland an aggregate of 81 100000
sonIs.
