=, During the existence of the Maine
liquor law Snowman appeared in a Ger
tain town with a small, dirty tattered
suspicious looking keg. The admission
fee of ten cents was Cheerfully paid bv
numbers of persons, who manifested Il
peculiarly strong desire to see this yelv
common and villainOus looking specimen
Of the animal kingdom. But the oldest
part of the show to the bystanflers was
that one visitor went I'M to " take an
other look at the WOLFF no less than
seven times during the afternoon. After
some unsuccessful attempts to start for
home, he approached the tent door with
an unsteady step, and handing his last
dime to the Snowman, said, "Ib-believe

An Arkansas local s0hlOquizes thus:
Some Of our exchanges are publishiDg
as curious item statement to the ef-
feet that q horse in IOwapuIled the plug
out OF the bunghOle of barrel for the
purpose of stalking his thirst. We do
not see anything extraordinary in the
occurrence. Now, if the horse had pulled
the barrel out the bunghole and slaked
it's thirst with the plug, or if the barrel
had pulled the bun ghOle out of the plug
and slaked its thirst with the horse, or
# the plug had pr.l led the horse out Of
the barrel and slailed its. thirst with the
bunghOle' or If the bunghOle had pulled
the plug with the barrel, or if the barrel
had pulled the horse out Of the bungIrOle
and plugged it's thirst with q slake, il
might be worth while to make some fuss
over it,"

We love thee, Ann Maria Smith,
And in thy cOndescension
We see u future full of joys
"ToO numerous to mention"
There's Cupid's arrow in thy glance,
That by pure loves coercion
Has reached our very heart of hearts
And asked for one insertion"
With joy we feel the blissfuf pain.
And ere our passion RACES
We freely place thy love upon
The list of our exchanges"
There's music in thy lowest tone,
And silver in thy laughter,
And truth-but ave will give the full
Particulars hereafter"
On! we would tell thee of our plans
All obstacles to shatter,
But VIC are full just now, and have
A press of other matter"

a Song of September.
BY THOMAS W. PARSONS.

September. strews the woodland o'cr
With many brilliant color:
The world is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be duller2
Sorrow and the scarlet Leaf
Sad thoughts and sunny weather!
All me! this glory and this grief
Agree not we'll together.
This is the parting season-ttis
The time when friends are flying:
And lovers now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing.
Why is earth so gaily drest3
This pGnp that Autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment WeaFeth.
Each one of US, perehance, may here,
. On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the CANDY year,
But not with bOyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinkled men.
Our hrOws with silver laden,
And thou this glen may'st seek again,
But never more Il maiden!
Nature, perhaps, foresees that Spring
Will touch her teenling bosom.
And that a few brief months will bring
The bird, the bee, the blossom.
All! these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither-
The virgin that adOrns them so
Will never more come hfther!
