LOVES CHIDINGS.
TO L. A. p.

One beautiful Sunday when it was calm and Sc
rene,
You left me alone for Charley Mclean;
Oh! how can make this saddest assertion,
When the girl that love made me feel her de-
sertion.
Go, thenl thou bewitching, ,deceiver,
In woman trust not; I'll never believe her.
Forgive me this time when thee do chide,
Recollect in my bosom there's some semblance
of pride.
The wound was the deepest that ever you gave,
And will follow me on to the cold silent grave;
I worshipped the more than goddess or shrine
When in all faith and all fervor / asked thee to
be mine.
You have crushed, you have ruined a generous
heart,
And its better my darling, that forever we part;
There's none, my dear girl, no, not one, that
can tell
How mournful the sadness to bid thee farewell.

covered flaming meteor in the sky, and
with the aid of their judicious teachers
studied its conformation and peculiarities
very attentively. The whole establishment

to the delightful enthusiasm of the students
and made the startling discovery that fire

TAX ON WHITE HArs-The House of
Representatives, on Monday, the Sd inst,
finished the Tariff bill and went to work upon
the internal tax reductions. Most of the day
was spent in voting on innumerable amend
ments to the free list, but no important ad-
ditions were made. Considerable merriment
was created at one time by an amendment
proposed by Mr.. Hereford of West Virginia,
to place "white hats and coats " on the free
list. On a vira voce vote, amid great laugh.
ter, the Democratic side quite generally voted
"Aye" and the Republicans "No." On a

NUMBER a..
AN AMUSING SCENE.

A late number of the Washington Star
says: The passengers on one Of Rikers
street cars laughed some recently at scene
between the conductor and well dressed
young man from Georgetown. As the car
was passing down the avenue, the young
man at the time standing on the platform
taking it easy, with one foot on trunk, he
was approached by the conductor and his
fare demanded. He quietly passed over
his five cents.
Conductor demand twenty-five cents
for that trunk.
Young man (hesitatingly)- )--Twenty-f
cents? Well, think l will not pay it.
Conductor-Then shall put Your trunk off.
Young man--You had better not, or you
may be sorry for it,
Conductor pulls strap, stops car, dumps
the trunk on the avenue, starts the car, and
after going some two blocks, approaches the
young man, who was as still and calm as a
Summer morning, and in an angry mood says:
Now, | have put your trunk off, what
are you going to do about it?'
Young man cooley)-Well, Idon't propose
to do anything about it; its no concern Of
mine; it wasn't my trunk.
Conductor (hercely )-Then why didn't
you tell me so?
Young man-Because you didn't ask me,
| told you that you'd be sorry for it.
Conductor Curious )-Then go inside the
car.
Young man-Oh, no! you're good enough
company for me ont here.
At this juncture a portly German emerged
from the car and angrily said:
mine Gott! you feller, we're is mine
drunk ?"
Young MAINLY friend, think that is
your trunk down on the avenue there
German Who put him off? have dc
monish to pay him. see about dot.
The car was stopped, and shortly after
the conductor was seen to come sweating up
with the trunk on his back-a part of the
performance he did not enjoy half as well as
did the passengers.

Rev. Mr.. AMEs was one of the speakers
at the Office Holders ratification meeting in
San Francisco, on Tuesday night, and among
ether things. said: eff Grant should be re-
elected something else is reelected. The
principles, policy and tendency of the Rcpub-
lican party are reelected. The Reverend
gentleman spoke trutbfully. If Grant be
reelected it will be triumph of consolida-
ton, of carpet-baggery and scallawaggery,
of the Dents and nepotism, of habeas corpus
suspension, Federal interference with State
affairs, Indian butchery of white settlers in
Arizona, New York Custom House frauds,
the San Domingo job, present-taking and all
the vile acts that have characterized his ad-
mnistration and made it burning disgrace
to the country Jose Argus.

A LITTLE five year old was being instruct
ed in morals by his grandmother. The old
lady told him thai all such terms as "by
golly," "by jingo," "by thunder" etc.
were only little oaths, and but little better
than other profanities. In fact, she said, he
could tell profane oath by the prefix "by."
All such were oaths. "Well, then, grand

LOVES COMPETITION Frantic RACE Fop
A GRASS WIDow.-A correspondent writes tC
the Mankado (Minn.) Union of widow
who resides in a certain town in Winona
county, who had been wooing two young
striplings, one ten and the other eleven years
her Junior. Both the lads happened to meet
the lady at the same time and both were on
errand of deciding upon the day for celebra-
ting the nuptals, as each had the encourage
ment 10 believe himself the favored suitor.
The widow herself was undecided, and a
scene of tears gave momentary relief to the
heart -throbbings of the two young lovers.
Finally she chose the younger of the two
and they parted for the night. In the
morning the discarded lover bethought him
self Of his photograph and ring, still in the
possession of the lady. He went to the lady
to obtain them and again sought favor in hel
eyes. She yielded and promised if he should
get his license first she would marry him.
He left on the afternoon train for Winona,
to procure the license, and noticed his rival
on board, who was on the same errand, but
evidently knew nothing of the new bargain.
AS soon as the train arrived, the lover who
held the latest promise pushed for the clerk :
Office and obtained his license, just as he
was retiring his rival and applied for license
to marry the same woman. Our hero who
had obtained license was bound to press
his advantage, and instead of waiting for the
morning train, which would bear his rival
home, he footed it through the mud the same
night and secured his prize the next morning
by marrying the "grass widder.'

as a fulfillmcnt of the pretence, held out
