1 feel like some pedestrian sport
In training on the course.
I've worn my boots to sandals, und
The sand's all in my feet;
My calves wont work. il oxen do,
For horses on the street.
Such ''pilgrim's progress as this is
Makes each mans "bunion" hate;
Aud, though a strict teetotaler,
He's oorned in spite OF fate.
Forgotten nov ia horsem anship
And drivine's a lost art.
Hotels can't furnish carriages;
They've nothing but the carte.
The price Of Ieather's going up
at Il most fearful rate;
And every cow. hides qnivering.
Lest shafts should be her fate.
No car 'os now will carry us.
Urged on by drivers wIlacks;
Oil for the wings learns had,
Although they went by wax!
Then let us hope that horses mny
BE freed from present woes,
Aud running on their feet again,
Instead of Mt the muse.
OuR Book TABLE. Mr.. Duffie has
furnished us with copy OF james
Psyn's latest production, IA Woman's
Vengeance. Those who are familiar
with the writings Of this author will. we
fancy, agree with us that it is rather
difficult to give any adequate notion of the
contents in the sort Of sketch and com.
ment combined which is commonly
known as "rsview," tho reason being
that SO great is the sustninment of his
tales, SO completely does almost every
pnge contain something OF incident, or
illustration, or whatever is necessary to
keep them going, that it is hardly posi-
be TO deaf with them in mere outline.
It will be sent by mail for fifty cents.
