NONSENSE VERSES.
JOHNNY AND HIS DOG.

JOHNNY AND HIS DOG.
Johnny had q little dog,
With hair as black as Jet,
And every place that Johnny went,
The PuGp went too, you bet.
He followed him to schoal one day,
That happened to be near,
But when the teacher booted him,
he walked of on his ear.
Returning home be met a COW,
And at the COW did fly;
She tossed him up FIVE hundred feet
And how is that for high?
The poor beast meier came down again,
And John was left mOuTner;
For the Furp was left in the steeple top
Of the little church round the corneI
When Johnny heard his daIlings fate.
\ word he scarcely said,
But toddled home and weeping cried,
"Now put me in my little bed"

It amuses US to watch the conduct Of the
people at our bulletin board. A crowd is
generally standing before it picking up the
items which we are continually receiving
through the telegraph. The other day just
as the members of the Legislature were pass
ing in squads, and lot of Democrats had
halted 10 read the election news, a negro,
also passing, stopped and listened with a
a certain amount + Indignation to the read
ing of the returns. After standing in this
attitude for somO time, his crowning contempt
displayed itself 10 the indignant manner in
Nhieh he sauntereG off with al don't believe

And rolling up a Journal

And by The Eternal,

And each one swore he gave,
That worthless life to save,
Far more than it was worth
In heaven, he'll or earthly
But who will dig his grave?
"Never mind," spoke the mole,
"Tll dig little hole
Thapll hide him, body and soul,

And you can put him in it,
And now, who'll toll the bell?

"Let Whittlesey, Allen and Hall,
"With his ehirt-tail for pail,
Bury him, boots and oil,
Just under the courthouse wall,
With carpet-bag for pillow;
And plant weeping willow
To shelter the spot and mark
Where sleeps poor little Clark"
