A GENTLEMAN, last Saturday, carried his
wife, children and mothei-inlaw, to Lents cir
cus While viewing the cage OF animals known
as the "llappy family" containing monkeys,
cats, dogs and coons, the old lady exclaimed,
ooh isn't it strange that they should live 80
happily and peacefully togeherf' The stfec
tonate son,in-law replied, Not at all; they
have no motherin-law living with them.
There was a savage look, and then the quail
ties of the elephant was next discussed
Our young friend, Mr.. John D. White,
Ina. changed base With many regrets and
yet with view to lettering himself, he has
left the clerkship in the Ordinarys Office, a
place which he so acceptably filled, and his
genial face can be seen any day at the Mari
eta Savings Bank. He is a worthy young
man and we wish him much success, and he
will win it too, for while other young men are
waiting for something TO turn up he turns
something up" always keeping his talents in
useful employment. He is our old class mate
and we take special pride in ''patting him on
the shoulder"
A THREE card monte man was jagged by
our efficient Sheriff on Show day for playing
upon the trusting nature of the unsuspecting,
for WAYS that are dark and tricks that are
vain. he could beat the "heathen Chinee." He
would put from 81 to $50 bills in boxes and
then mix them with others containing cakes OF
soap-you paid your dollar and took your
choice Some country lads were swindled out
from five to twenty dollars. Its Gear lesson
ofexperience, but they will never forget IT. Re
member you never can beat these fellows at
their own game. They never play to be beat,
and when you pratronize them you just simply
ask to be cheated, and you ought to be. The
hnmbuoper. however was made to refund all
the money to the hnmbugged, and he departed
to other parts.
on RosK.--Gathsrsd and given by
moonlight:
FRAGRANT. full flushed, my Flora's gift,
A rose-dear loves cid token.
How many worshippers shy and swift,
What words half sighed, half spoken,
Have severed blossoms such az this,
In hands that pressed and parted,
Overheard since sounded loves sweet kiss,
Siuce loves sweet tear first starred.
And vel. ali / sad that buds should fall,
And sad that blossoms perish.
Faint odors, withered leaves, be all
That autumn has to cherish,
The eternal seas OF time and tide
Nor change nor chance can hansh
oar lives are like the waves that glide,
And swell, and break, and vanish
Ten thousand blossoms such as this
Have witnessed lovers meeting
Seen many Geneyieve's shy kiss,
Heard many Romeo's greeting.
Where are they nowf The pinch Of clay
Pharaoh's huge folly covers.
Is no more wholly dead than they,
The blossoms and the losers-
While Love shall live, and lovers pass
Flora survives her flowers;
Each wear brings greenness TO the grass,
And blossoms TO the bowers.
Wen trust, while skies are blue above,
TIL Times last cycle closes,
That every life shall have It's love,
And every lgTe rs rossss
