ESA good story is told of wag
named Elmore, who was member of
the Wisconsin Legislature some years.
He had pet measure of local interest
before the House, and before it was
finally acted on he took vacation, on
returning from which he moved the pas
sage of his bill, and made neat and
eloquent speech in support of his mo-
ton. The Speaker could enjoy joke
as we'll as Elmore, and after waiting
with great attention till the conclusion
of the speech, he quietly told "the gen
tleman from Waukesha' that the bill re-
ferred to had passed the house in his
absence several days before. His fellow
members enjoyed the scene very much,
but Elmore, not at all 6iscomfit: cd, cried
out, as he readjusted his spectacles,

Spring.


There is no use talking, spring will
come when it is ready, and not before.
We have had
"Winter lingering in the lap of Spring"
for nearly a month, with its bowling
winds, its piercing frosts, its driving
SHOWS, and chilling rains. We may ex-
claim with the poet:
"Come, gentle Spring; ethereal mi!dness, ,come;'
but it will not come until the frost spirit
has gone to his hyperborean home, and
the
"Mar,ins have returned and found
A welcome to our houses,
And the little darkies run around
Divested of their trouses."
We nave had long. cold ,dreary win
ter. But it has had its joys as well as
its sorrows-its sunshine as we'll as its
clouds. This pinching cold morning,
with the mercury almost down to zero,
and the earth as hard as rock, is not
favorable time to get ready for making
flower beds and blowing for summer
crops. But never mind:
"The spring in its loveliness dressd,
Will return with its musc-winsed hours,
And kissed by the breeze of the sweet South
west,
The buds will burst forth into flowers"

AN EDIroR's CLUB.-"Tommy, my
son, what are you going to do with that
club?
"Send it to the editor, of course
"But what are you going to send it
to the editor for?''
"Cause he says if anybody will send
him a club, he will send them a copy of
his paper"
The mother came pretty near fainting,
but retained consciousness enough to
ask. "But, Tommy, dear, what do you
suppose he wants with a club?'
"Well, l don't know" replied the
hopeful urchin, sunless it is to knock
down subscribers as don't pay for their

THE WOODMAN.
BY JUDGE SILAS IL. WRIGHT.

BY JUDGE SILAS II. WRIGHT.
All the day long the stalwart woodman
Swings his glittering axe amain,
And the stricken mountain monarch
Means with heart-consuming pain.
Each incisive stroke is followed
By clean and clear-cut chip
Tough enough to pin together,
Some Alaskan ice-struck ship.
Round about his feet collecting,
Reaching even to the knee
Two white heaps hewn from the bosom
Of that stout and stately tree.
And at length timid tremor
Steals upon each limb and leaf
And groan so very human,
Now wall akin to grief
Hark! asound, as if of thunder,
Shakes the hill and shakes the sky,
And the echoes catch each other
As among the rocks they fly.
Now the woodman stands moment
To regain his failing breath;
And with open, careless collar,
Breathes in rosy, hill-born health.
Then he mounts the fallen monarch,
AS king might mount his throne,
And he triumphs in the conquest,
Which his arm hath won alone.
Log on log of lengthy segment
Down the hillside soon is rolled
Where the plow ere long will struggle
To devour the virgin mould.
Now the heaps are nightly kindled,
And the fires light up the sky;
And more than boreal brightness,
Beams about the hill-tops high.
Now he builds his cribbed cabin,
Fences round about a field,
Which no foeman e'er can conquer.
And no freeman e'er will yield.
Sprinkled be our land with cabins,
Grandeur but provokes sigh
For Liberty is ever cradled
"In the cots where poor men ie."

ES-A facetious individual, not many
miles from Danbury, sought to "draw
his wife OUT by pretending to be found
dead, with an empty laudanum vial by
his side. And that lady was a good
deal shocked at first, but having read
that needle introduced into the human
flesh would indicate on it's surface
whether that flesh was dead, and being
a woman of eminent practicability. she
at once armed herself with polished
instrument of nearly two inches growth,
and with throbbing heart and bated
breath introduced a good share of its
length into an appropriate portion o.
the deceased. What the surface Of the
needle really indicated was not learned,
as he took it with him as he passed
through the sash.
