SHUEMAKER'S SONG.

fohoLmAhEnD . DON1s
The shoemaker sat at his feathers bench,
And sang as he pegged the shoe;
Worked and sang and worked,
While he drew the wax ends through.
Perchance his song was not 81 sweet
As the niQhtingale's sweetest trill;
But he worked as lie sang and sang as he
worked,
An sang and worked with a will.
Twas moi of love and Cupid's power
That the shoemaker gaily sang;
But he worked as he ang and sang rs he
worked,
While the shop with the echoes rang.
lie did not sing to Italian strains
Those words that none eau tell
Bat he beat the time to his own hearts
rhyme
With the hammer that rose and fell.
The words that he sang are known 10 all
And are known the old world through,
But little he dreamed Of his coming fame
As he sang and pegged his shoe.
lie had left the door of his shop aiar,
For breath of fcooling breeze,
That murmnring sighed in the forest wide,
OF the gently whispering trees.
From the clover red in its crimson bed,
The breeze Its fragrance bore,
Aud swept 1t along with the stream OF
song
That flowed from that open door.
And this was the song that the shoemaker
sang,
As he sang and pegged his shoe,
While fly lii on the end of his nose
As he drew the wax ends through.
His hands were full and he could not stop,
So what 10 do was he?
Then he sang In the words that echo yet
"ShOo, fly! don't bother me-"
And he beat the time IN kind Of chime,
And the hammer that rose and fell;
Aud the words of his song were borne along
Wherever the brce zes swell.
When now so soon the sun of June,
And summers sultry SKI,
Shall work on man the curse and ban
BY bringing back the fly.
Then whereso 'er the breezes swell,
On land or DER the sea,
His song shall rise In countless cries
"Shoo, fly !dont bother me-"

SINGULAR EFFECT OF ELECTRICITY on

There was boy among these darkies who had
evincej u strong disposition to move things

words, to pilter occasionally.
Now, Jack, ~ says his master, "look here;
this machine is to make people tell the truth,
and If you have stolen anything, or lied to me 1t
will knock you down."
"Weil, massa," said jack 81 never lied or

No sooner had he received slight shock than

The same experiment was tried with like sue
cess on half dozen Juveniles. At last an oil
negro, who had been looking ON very atten-
lively. stepped up
"Massa. let dis Niger try. Dat masheeu is
well enough to scare the children wild, but dis
niger knows better"
The machine was then fully charged, and he
received stunning shock He looked IL 1t OF
his hand then at the machine, and ct last roll
