bub, and the devil, but 1 can't stand
that old negro-equality Greeley;
neither can 1 stand Southern man

any circumstances" ~,

A Democrat of our town proposed
to US this "conundrum," which be-
ing a poser to US, we respectfully
solicit answers from the WOuld-be
wise ones OF that party: "Why
should I, as Democrat, and as a

consideration Macarthur Record.

THE DIFFERENCE.

There was an old lady all dressed in silk,
Who lived upon lemons and buttermilk
And thinking this world was a sour old place,
She carried its acid all over her face.
Another old lady, all dressed in patches,
Lived upon nothing but lucifer matches;
SO the world it made her strangle and cough,
And sure as you rubbed her you set her of.
Another old lady, all sunny and neat,
who lived upon sugar and every thing sweet,
Declared, when she heard OF their troubles she
'never!''
For the world nice she could live on forever.
MORAL:
Now, children, take your choice
OF the food your hearts shall eat;
There souTish thoughts, and birthstone thoughts
And thoughts all good and sweet;
And whatever the heart feeds on,
Dear children, trust to me,
Is precisely what this queer old world
VIII seem to you to lie.
