Widder SDriggins' Daughter.

'Twason b-suteous Sum mer morn,
when things were up aud comin',
And all among the punkin vines
The bumble bees were hur,miu,:
took an early ha.fmile walk,
As everybody d orter,
When in the COW path wss met
By Widder Spriggias' Daughter.
Ber eyes were black as David's ink,
Her cheeks were red as fury
And one smack OF her luscious lips
Would bribe judge or jury.
I bowed-she curcheyed just the way
Her nice old Mar had taught her;
She smiled-and oh my heart was gone
To Wilder spriggins' Daughter.
Says 1, Ny dear, how do ye do :"
Says she, IL reckon finely !"
Says l, " of all the gals know,
You look tho most oiyinely"
lsnatched kiss-she slapped my face,
In fact, just as she d crter;
"a Behave Yourseli, how dare you sir ~
Cried "idder spriggius' Daughter.
Just then an old rampage,us sheep
Who had bern feeding near, sir,
Squared OF, aid like ten of brick.
He took me In the rear, sir
landed in pond. chuck full
offrogs and filthy water,
And then she stood and la-sed and lsrfed,
That Widder SpriSsins' Daughter.

Picked up my hat and mizzled.

MUsIc.-Horace Walpole wisely, "Had
children, my utmost endeavors should
be to make them musicians. As my aim
would be to make them happy, think it
the most probable method. 1t is a re-
source which will last them their lives,
unless they grow deaf; it depends on
themselves, not on nosbers; always amuses
and soothes, If not consoles, and of all
fashionable pleasures is the cheapest. 1t
is capable of fame without the danger of
criticism is susceptible of enthusiasm,
without being priest-ridden and, unlike
other mortal passions, is sure OF being
gratified in heaven

A HINT TO COUNTY OFFIcERs.-Our
friend Papet, of the Versailles Journal,
goes for" the Commissioners of Ripely
county, for going to Indianapolis 10 get
the county printing done, when there are
two printing establishments, capable of
doing the work, in Versailles We don't
know what kind of men they elect for
commissioners in Ripley county; but it
seems to US that men who are so ignor-
ant In political economy as not to see the
importance of encouraging home enter
prises and having the work done in the
community that pays the raxes levied for
paying their salaries and supporting the
local government, are not likely to legis-
late wisely for even so small community
as Ripley county. Besides, it is q rule,
and we believe just one, that the news
paper that brings forward and helps 10
elect men to office, should have the bene-
fit of what public work they are able to
control. Go for 'em, Papet, and if you
can't make them understand this thing
now. perhaps you can put flea in their
ears when the nominating convention
comes around.-Ld,crencetur Register

his life, making total insurance of S40,-

shot himself, a coroner's jury on the case

A story has lately been going the
rounds of the newspapers, telling of man
who lived several months with his neck
broAen. 1t now tTanspires that the story
was merely an allegory, representing the
democratic party, which still has pro-
pensity for talking, though its backbone
and brains are no longer connected.

A New TEEoLoGY.-The membership
of the u. L. Church of Vincennes were
rather startled the other day by the an
nouncement of the Western Sun that their
worthy pastor, while missionary in
China, had concerted Ling Ting Cling
They were reminded OF the anecdote of the
Rev. John Collins, on certain occasion,
when drunken man staggered up to him
and said, MIR. Collins, l am one of your
converts" Mr.. c. looked at him mo-
ment, and replied, "Well, 1 think you
look like one Of mine, 1 don't think the
Lord ever had anything TO do with you"

CHANGES IN INEIA.-Fifty years ago
most of the commercial traffic was on
pack cattle, end the royal mails were car
ried ON mems shoulders; now, there are
five or six thousands of miles of railroad,
and tens Of thousands of miles of made
roads. Then, there was a single news
paper in native language; now, all the
large cities have their daily and periodical
press. The English language is taught
and understood, and English publications
are widely read. Then, the best informed
natives thought it was folly 10 attempt to
introduce the Christian religion into In
dia; now, it is the general feeling among
them that Brahminisln is at an end

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, in commu-
nication to The Methodist, says: There
is such thing as too much deIiberation
in religion. The game gets away from Us
while we are loading the gun The
Methodist Church, like the Presbyterian,
Baptist, and Episcopalian, has of late felt
the tendency to settle on its lees, and
build granite churches and white its
old time hallelujahs down to quartette,
and hand the people up to heaven with
delicate kid gloves which, at the least
strain, split. in the back / would not
give one of the backwoods Methodist
meetings where I used, in boyhood, occa-
sionally to go and stand at the door, afraid
to go -in-for they had fifty persons con-
verted there in one night-for hundred
precise churches where they preserve
their religion from spelling by keeping it
on ice"

ENGLISH SYNoNYMs-The copious-
ness of the English tongue, as well as the
difficulty of acquiring the ability to use
its immense vocabulary correctly, is well
exhibited in the following array OF syn
onymous words; which, if not new, is yet
capital illustration of the nice distinc-
tions which characterize so many Of our
vocables. 1t is no wonder that we slip
occasionally, even the wariest of us.
A little girl was looking at a picture of
number of ships, when she exclaimed,
See, what flock Of ships!" We cor
rected her by saying that flock of ships
is called = feet, and that feet of sheep is
called flock.
And here We may add, for the benefit of
the foreigner who is mastering the intli-
cacies of our language in respect to nouns
of multitude, that flock of girls is called
a bevy, that bcvy of wolves is called q
pack, and pack of thieves is called a
gang, and gang of angels is called a host,
and host of porpoises is called shoal,
and a shoal of buffaloes is called herd.
and a herd of children is called troop,
and troop of patridges is called covey,
and covey of beauties is called galaxy,
and galaxy Of ruffians is called horde,
and horde of rubbish is called heap,
and heap of oxen is called drove, and
drove of blackguards is called mob, and
IA mob of whales is called a chool and a
school of worshipers is called congrega-
tion, and congregation of engineers is
called corps, and corps of robbers is
| called bind, and band of locusts is
called swarm, and swarm of people is
crowd, and a crowd of gentlefolks is
called the elite, and the elite of the city's
thieves and rascals are called the roughs,
and the miscellaneous crowd of the city
folks is called the community, or the pub
lie. according as they are spoken of by
