Fly Time.


Oh, the fly the horrid flyl
Dabbling at nose. and mouth and eye,
Over the ceiling. over the meat.
Over all that people eat.
Dabbling.
Crawling about.
Miserable insect you get out!
Wading in paint on a lady's cheek.
Leaving behind a tortuous stroak,
Aecursed fyi From the hell below,
Never came pest that plaques us So
Dabbling.
Nibbling,
Fresh from the sty.
The horrible sty where the porkers lie.
Even the dogs, with n snarl and a bound.
Snap at the ins ects that swarm around.
Tho air is blue with the Oaths that try
To drown the hum of the hateful fly.
When the weary pilgrim seeks repose
There's hornpipe danc'd on the top of his nose
There's vigorous oath. and slam and a slap.
And that's the end of the sleeper's nap.
Singing.
Why. oh why.
Were you created, pestilent fly?
Once was pious, but fell from grace
Played the knave open, coppered the ace.
Made of myself terrible guy.
When the devil caught me out on fly.
How strange it is that women will try
To kill with cobalt this villainous fly;
How strange it seems when million are slain.
To find the multitude doubled again.
Whisking.
Frisking.
Twisting your feet.
Hunting us out in quiet retreat.
If at the fly like Toby we swear.
And the angel recorder enters it there.
Give US then the welcome doubt
That the tear of mercy will blot it out.

Don't Die from Wearin' of the
Green.0

In all cases of pining sickness, when
there is no appreciable reason for it,
two things ought to be promptly done ::
change the room and the water; live
all the time in an apartment without
paper on the walls, or curtains abont
the windows, or any green color in the
carpets; in addition, use water which is
obtained from the roof of the house,
from spring or we'll higher than the
usual supplies, because the water may
be poisoned by the lead pipes in the
house, or by the drainage of barnyards
or out,houses. AS to curtains, carpets
and wall paper having green color, it
may be regarded as a certainty that the
color is produced by the use of arsenic !;
and the glazing material, of whatever
color, is mainly composed of poisonous
preparation of lead. Precaution should
be taken to exclude all green candies,
green toys, all glazed materials, even
visiting cards, for little child died re.
Gently by chewing visiting card it
had a sweetish taste, having a glaze
made of sugar of lead. In toy box of
water colors, one block of green paint,
weighing forty grains, contained ten
Sioiho Va oioShAS3 eiAo GiCCh III
shades contains large amount of arse
mic. A tarlatan dress contained eight
grains of arsenic to every square foot of
the material. Chemists are of the
opinion that the dust of the arsenic is
detached from these various objects by
the moving air, or by handling, and is
thus taken directly into the lungs,
thence into the blood. If any material
supposed to contain arsenic is put into
small amount of hartshorn (spirits of
ammonia), the liquid will have blush
tint if arsenic is present. These things
are not new, only disregarded; for "
hundred years ago law was passed in
France ferbidding the use of arsenic in
making any colors for domestic uses
but its employment was so profitable in
coloring many things-vases, artificial
flowers, and the like-that the law was
gradually more and more disregarded ;
and when its re-enactment was pro-
posed, the shopkeepers rose in opposi.
ton, and declared it would ruin their
| business

A Mississippi Congressman, a few
days ago. inquired at the Treasury De

accounts of the several United States
Collectors who have held office in his
district and learned that all of them
are in default. Among the name
given him were B. II. Shepard, S7s-S0l;
VIM. Willis, $4,000: W. c. V. Hicks,
$500 SO; b. &. Emery, S5S.3l4. He
was informed of suits TO recover these
amounts, but has never heard OF any
suits. The Administration has been
very successful in keeping the names
of all such people out of print, and
has contented itself with blowing
against the defaulter> under Johnson.

MORMON EMIssARIEs IN NORWAY.

Norway is not "stuck after" Nor
monism, but OH the contrary deter
mined hat her good people shall not
be importuned to adopt the faith of the
"Prophet Joseph" A Mormon elder
having made his appearance upon the
sacred soil of the State, the Govern
ment issued the following proclama-
ton: "A number of So called Mormon
emissarieS having had the impudence
OF trying to entice yirtuous men and
women from this State, be it decreed
that any town or village magistrate be
authorized to sentence such emisSaries
to corporal punishment, in accordance
with the law of 1869" Nor was the or
der a dead letter, but on the contrary
put into swift execution. The elder
made his appearance in Jutland. at the
village of Rander>, and the local mag
istrate cut short his mission by having
him tied up and soundly thrasled, in
obedience to the aforesaid decree. We
think it scarcely probable, under the
circumstances, that Brigham will re
cruit his disciples largely from Nor
way and Sweden.

AN HONEST MAN.

Republican journals that deal in
attacks upon Horace Greeley, show
their totally INSCRIPTIONS character,
as we'll as their blind stupidity. Dem
ocratic journals through all the life of
Mr.. Greeley, and through all their bit
ter controversies which his personal
and political injustice to the Democratic
party and It's leadership, have never
charged upon Horace Greeley that he
was personally corrupt. Whatever
else they may have said against him,
no Democra, Of character ever said
that he was a dishonest man. 1t was
reserved to the Radical slanderers who
owe whatever political consequence
they possess &c the 1abors and power
of Mr.. Greeley, thus revile a man
whose personal integrity no candid
nan has ever questioned. If there is
an honest MAJ on the earth, that man
is Horace Greeley. Every time his
Grant libellers aSSail him as a corrupt
man, just so often do they make votes
for him as a candidate for the Presi-
dency. Thousands wi o might other
wise hesitate to support him, will be
led to do so as a matter of personal
warfare upon man whose private life
is as pure as his public life has been
remarkable.

A DIFFERENCE.

In his Inaugural Address, Thomas
Jefferson said of the office Of President;
Il approach it with those anxious and
awful pre>entiments which the great
ness of the charge and the weakness of
my powers SO justly inspire" Grant,
in his Inaugural Address, said: The
responsibilities of the position 1 feel,
but accept them without fear" Jeffer-
son was a tried statesman, who had
aided in founding the Government,
and thoroughly understood the insti
tutions he vas about to administer,
and vet he feared that his ability and
experience We're not equal to the task
of properly administering the office;
Grant, with no experience in civil
atfairs, entered upon its duties with
entire self confidence. This affords a
notable instance of the characteristic
modesty of a great mind in contrast
with the proverbial arrogance of an
ignorant pretender. The administra-
tons of the two Presidents continue
the contrast. The one was character
lied by wisdom and a conscientious
respect for the Constitutions; and the
other by the very madness of folly in
the conversion of a Constitutional
into a personal franchise to be
employed for the sole end OF personal
gain.
