Don't Strike Man When He's Down.

Oh don't strike man when he's down,
No! don't strike a man when he's down;
But lend him hand,
And help him to stand.
Oh, give him a chance,
Be kindly your glance,
Oh don't cast him off with frown;
For which of us know,
In the race here below,
How soon hard blow
May lay us as low
Oh! don't strike a man when he's down.
No! don't strike man when he's down;
Don't stop to deride,
To scold or to chide,
But leap to his side,
His falling heart guide
Oh! don't let a sinking man drown;
For who here can tell
How soon the rude swell
OF The tide may destroy
All his wealth and his joy.
And he finds himself sinking right down.
Oh! don't strike man when he's hes down down.
Far better be kind,
And try hard to md
Some chord that will bind
Him yet to his kind.
Raise hopes that have been so cast down;
A smile in your eye
Will match his deep sigh,
The grasp ofyour hand
His heart Will expand,
And lift up man when he's down.
Oh don't strike man when he's down.
No! don't strike man when he's down;
NO matter MS 1aulu,
Don't tarry nor halt,
Nor send him adrift,
But give him lift,
His blessing your efforts Will crown;
Tho not of "our set"
Nor respectable" /" yet
We must not forget
We all are in debt,
So help man up when he's down.
Oh don't strike a man when he's down.
No; don't strike man when he's down;
Tho sorrows away
From you to-day,
Tomorrow it may
Be thrown in your way,
So don't strike a man when he's down;
Let toadieS pass by
With sneerS in their eye;
Let bignessHbe sham'd,
But the Grundies be ID,
won't strike man when he's down..

BETTER THAN GouGH.-A- week or two
since little incident occurred in Mis-
souri,, an account of which, it is hoped,
Mr.. Cough will incorporate in his lee
lures; it will point discourse and add
effect to the moral. A character, Doted
somewhat for loafing around the bar
rooms, was sitting in his usual pace of
resort, with several compatriots, about a
card Etable killing time with the paste
boards. Suddenly his wife entered the
room, bearing a large covered dish, which
she deposited on the table with the re-
mark, "Presuming, husband, that ycu
are too busy to come to dinner, L have
brought yours to you," and thus depart
ed. The husband invited his companions
to share his meal, and removed the lid
from the dish, revealing no smoking
roast, but instead slip of paper, only
this and nothing more, on which was
written, "I hope you will enjoy your din
ner; it is of the kind your family has at
home"

They are a mysterious bird, for I hev
seen them solitary and alone in the wood
ed wilderness, one hundred miles from
emmy signs of civilization
Az means ov dat, they are just about
az luxurious az billed indigo bag would

The blue jay haz no song--they kant

THE QUAIL.
The quail IL game bird, about one size
bigger than the robbin, and so sudden
that they hum when they fly.
They hav no song, but whissel for mu-

They are shot on the wing a man may

THE PARTRIDGE.
The partridge il also game bird. Their
game is to drum on log in the spring
