seized what seemed to him to be bottle OF

together to partake of the stolen bottle. The
liquor seemed to be sherry wine, and doubt

As soon as the drug had time to do its work,
all who had partaken of it were taken sick,
with excessive vomiting and purgng, and
the aid of seven medical men seems to have

CREAM OF OUR EXCHANGES.

II the farmers movement in Minnesota gave
the republicans an awful scare, that don't pre-
vent them from having some fun out OF 1t.
Among their played out politicians, who hoped
to recuperatc by joining the grangers, was OK
Congressman Ignatius Donnelly. The Mime
apolis Tribune contains the report of Potato
Bug Caucus" furnished that paper by "Peleg
Wales" in which, after the most serious business
was disposed of, Donnely was asked about a
proposed serenadc to his sweetheart and whcth-
or he had it ready The narrative goes on:
Father Donnelly was embarrast. He turned
up his eyes, blew his nose, tramped on Dcuman' S
toes, but at last the tide of his eloquents flows,
and the words which he spoke air those:
sRRENADE BY FARMER DoNNELLY.
Oh come, my love, and live with me;
M And keep my cottage in the glen,
As patient as bumble-bee
And busy as setting hen.
Oh rest beneath my fragrant bower,
Where sweet stramonium doth entWlne;
Come, smell the gentle caulfower
And Gull the mangelwurtzel vine.
All! listen to the rural songsl
The pea shall wind his magic shell,
As Echo paintively Prolongs
The MARBLE Of the pimpernel.
Bevond the vermicel row
hear the bul-frog's sigh again
The cacke of the Durham eve
The below of the Berkshire hen.
Oh. come, love, come the morn is fair.
I'll celebrate the day with thee;
I'll merrily dig the Bartlett pear,
And shake the ruta- baga tree.
Oh, hump yourself my lovely Poll,
y And in the cause of Anti-mOnop,
Wen mulch the turkeys in the fall,
And graft the long clam in the hop.
Ny sweetest! am fond Of mush,
And thou will Get some out for me-
Wen early SOW the currant bush,
And tap the eranberryjey tree.
Wen pull the wool from off the calf,
The cottonwood its fleece shall shed;
So at the winter will we laugh,
And gaily weed the oyster bed
Wen hlithely hoe the winter wheat,
Wen chase the eggs the squirrels lay
And when the Bantam hog shall bcat
Wen feed him with some clover hay
All sayory game to thee I'll bring;
The burdock knows my spear is sharp;
I'll shoot the dolphin on the wing
And hit hra on the percarp.
Then come, my love, and live with me-
And bcautay my lonely den,
As patient rs a tumbc.bec

To his suburban home
Where, by the shore of Klamath Lake,
His pleasure he was wont TO take.

Roll something large and smooth and
To her brother Henry Clay,
And ask the young sport If he knew
Where that queer paloeozoio grew.
