The squire's Indigestion.

Old Squire H was a very
successful and substantial farmer in
an interior town in Massachusetts,,
and n more amazing eater never
lived in any town anywhere. And
especially much did he eat when
fresh pork was to be his nourish-
ment. Well, at a certain time, one
of his hogs had been killed. The
next morning there was fresh pork
for breakfast, and the old man ate
most wondrously. In the course
of the forenoon he ate his luncheon,
consisting of bread and butter,
mince pie and cheese. At noon his
dinner consisted of fresh pork,
pickles, mince pie and the usual
accompaniments. His afternoon
luncheon was like that of the fore
noon. When he came home to sup
per, his favorite dish had not been
prepared as part of that meal. The
old man fretted and scolded till
fresh pork was added to the sub
stantials. In the evening he toasted
some cheese, buttered and ate it.
Just before going to bed he roast
ed a couple of apples and ate them.
In the night he was taken with a
severe collie. The doctor was with
him till morning, and nearly
wrought miracle in saving the old
mans life. The next day Bolles
W, one of his neighbors, went
in to condole with the Squire on his
illness. "Faithf-ll Bolles," said the
old worthy, 81 liked to have died
last night. I'll never eat another
roast apple as long as | live. l
never did love them very much,
and last night l ate only two and
they nearly killed me-"

The type-setter stands before his case,
The gas burns low and the night is deep;
And over the staggering chimney stacks
Darkness and shadows creep,
And the city is lost in sleep.
The type-setter stands there gaunt and gray,
With dim old eyes and a weary brain;
And he sings cadence solemn and low,
To the beat of the bitter rain
On the rattling easement and pane.
Tremble the rafters, roof, and floors
As he fingers the types lin his desolatc way;
And he hears the music family borne
From the theatre over the way,
At some strange old tragedy play.
The old man sings and tremble the floors
With the believing engine down below,
And the crash of the whirling axle-bars,
And the thunders that from them grow,
Echoing to and fro.
As he fingers the types lin his desolato wayl,
He sets them up with heavy lead;
And a marge of black encircles his work
The name of the man just dead;
A soul in the battle sped
And he sighs as he thinks, this man so gray,
Winking and blinking before his case,
How, out in the dark and desolate night,
Some form of womanly grace
Is weeping upon her face.
Lower and lower the gns lights burn,
And grow the shadows dusky and gray;
And storm is hushed and the musie's swell
And theatre over the way,
And finished the tragedy play,
And the type-settcr wipes his dim old eyes;
And types no more with fingers move;
And he smiles, that while setting the name below
The angels, in tender love,
Were setting it up above.

How Dr. Jones Got His Pigs.
A STORY OF DOWN SOUTH.

/
Pork is one of the essentials OF
a plantation, and generally the
planter desires some especially for
his own table. Now, DR.. Smith
having litter of very fine pigs
DR.. Jones was desirous of obtain
ing two of them for his family pen.
Writing q note to the proprietor OF
the infant swine, desiring that he
would send him that number OF
pigs, he dispatched it by q jolly
old darl<ey who was duly supplied
with bag for the transportation
of the pork. The old man at once
set of, and travelled very diligently
till he came to the crossroads,
where stood grocery, which, in
that region, like Elder Bascom's,
made famous by the Elder Nasty,
means whisky, etc. Old Peter be-
gan to be fatigued with his walk as
soon as he came in sight of said
grocery, and stepped in to refresh
himself.
The whisky soon loosed his
tongue, and he being naturally gar
rulous, the loungers at the grocery
soon learned all the particulars of
his journey up the road. Arriving
in due time at DR.. Smiths he pre-
sentcd the note, and a couple of
nice brown pigs were Immediately
selected, which Uncle Pete put in
his bag and at once started for
home. Considering the weight of
the load and the heat of the day,
it was not surprising that he again
stopped for refreshments at the
grocery. While he was doing so,
one of the young men kept him
busy answering questions, while
another was employed in substitu-
ting for the pigs in the bag, two
nice brown pups that chanced pro-
videntially to be in shed adjacent.
Unconscious Of the change effected
in his,cargo, Uncle Pete shoulder
ed the bag, and trudging home, de-
livered his freight with the crafty
ing assurance to DIR. Jones that
sthdy jest was about as nice pigs as
he ever seed" The bag being
opened, the Doctors surprise and
Uncle Pete's confusion and dismay
in finding pups instead OF pigs,
may be imagined.
"You darned fool" roarcd the
irate doctor; "what did you do
with the note l sent by you |! You
have lost it you rascal, and been
drinking and laundering like an old
jackass that you are. Go back at
once to DR.. Smith, and tell him /
want two pigs, and not two pups.
I'll lick you within an inch of your
life, old man, If you fool me again"
"Fore God - cried Uncle Pete,
his eyeballs showing all their white
in his astonishmcnt, 81 swear dem
was pigs when / started wild 'em. |
put 'cm in the bag my own self,
two just as pooty pigs as cher
seed. i know dey was pigs; Gods
truf dey was. / put 'em in dc bag
wild my own hands. / declar Use
clear gone in confusement."
AGO along tell you, "bawled the
doctor, "and see to it that you are
back before sundown, or the worst
will be for you.'

whilst the workmen were en-

imbedded in the solid stone. The
snake was broken in two by the

were afterward fastened together
in such a manner as not to disclose
the break"

Go back to fancy's fowry dell,
And take your pen along;
Your poetry does not excel,
Your love is quite too strong.
If I'm bcreft of every fault,
Let me bercft reinain;
The heart that's been by nature taught
Cannot your love contain.
Kind-hcarted though I'll ever be,
You shall not with me dwell;
No smile is on my lips for thee,
No love my looks shall tell.
II I'm the lovclicst lass in town,
And like the angels fair;
You're uglicr than any clown
That brcathes Alpena's air.
When next you wish to tell your love
In verse which shall the heart-strings move,
nEMEMBER!

No more'n u sheep can be a goat"
