Mr.. Webster, don't be offended
For no wrong have here intended,
But Lere problem you will find
That may divert some small boys mind
But should you think it not worth while,
Then throw it on your refuse pile;
But should you think twill do to print
The authors name you need not hint.
A., B. and c., together came
Into a tavern on the plain
AS was the custom IN that time,
So on their own they chose to dine.
A. had loaves and B. had 8,
But G. had none, as you may see;
But he agreed to pay his share,
If he with them might take his fare.
So they together ate their cake;
c. paid to them his pieces s,
Which fully satisfied the men;
But to divide it puzzled them
Now if you will decide, and say
What will be just for B. or A.,
You will confer favor kind,
And very much relieve their mind.
Ifyou will do it plain and fair,
You shall have credit, do declare,
OF doing that which A. mol B.,
Without some help, could never see.
You and your calling respect.
This you may print or it neglect;
] still your servant will remain,

ST. JOHNSBURT.

EAST ST. JouNsBURY.-One day last
week the teacher in our village school
had the geography class out, putting
them through brief course of home ge-
ography. To the question "what is the
capital of Vermont" no answer came,
and in her modification the teacher OBJ
served, in accents of surprise, ''Is it pos
sible there is no one here who knows
what is the capital of Vermont ?" A
little urchin out in the corner of the
school house took compassion ON the
teacher, raised his hand and said, Yethn
please marin I knoac.' "Well my fine
little fellow, tell these stupid scholars
what is the capital of Vermont. p" ''Yeth-
m. | WILL" and in triumphant tones
yelled out CALVIN MORRILL,. -
1t turned out that this bright little fell
low had on divers times attended Nor
ribs lectures on the Capitol, given in
Chapmans store, and in his admiration
for the speaker had locked upon Morrill,
and the Capital as ore and the same
Union.

LITTLE COMPOSITION

A LITTLE COMPOSITION ON THE
WHEELBARRow.-The Danbury News
man says: If you have occasion to use a
wheelbarrow. leave it, when you are
through with it, IN front of the house
with the handles toward the door. A
wheelbarrow is the most complicated
thing to fall over ON the face of the earth.
A man will fall over one when he would
never think of falling over anything
else he never knows when he has got
through falling over it either for it will
tangle his legs and his arms, turn over
him and rear up in front of him, and
just as he pauses in his profanity to con-
graduate himself, it takes new turn, and
scopes more skin off of him, and he
commences to evulute anew, and bump
himself ON fresh places. A man never
ceases to fall over a wheelbarrow, until
it turns completely on its back, or brings
up against something it cannot upset -
1t is the most inofensive looking object
there is, but it is more dangerous than q
locomotive, and no man is secure with
one unless he has a tight hold of han.

NOR much more complete than ever war;
rior wore, and composed of strong, pol
ished plates, fitted over each other, each
plate covered like a tortoise she'll; and
where they meet, hundreds of small
quilts project, like those on the back of
porcupine or hedgehog. There are the
arched neck, the bright eyes, the trans
parent cases, piercers to puncture the
skin, a. sucker to draw away the blood
six long-jointed legs, four of which are
folded on the breast, all ready at any mo-
ment to be thrown out with tremendous
force for that jump which bothers one
when he wants to catch him; and at the
end of each leg hooked claws, to enable
him to cling to whatever he lights upon.
A flea can jump hundred times its own
length, which is the same as if a man
jumped five hundred feet; and he can
draw load two hundred times his OWL
weight.

An accumulation of river ice, one mile
wide, three miles long, and many feet in
height, is a tremendous enemy when it
moves. Just in this terrifying fashion
the Mississippi, above Memphis, has
been INSTRUCTED. The shore ice, de-
tatched from up stream, drifts and locks
with isolated sheets, forming a jam
which reaches from shore to shore. On
this, other masses are forced by the
swift current, until the pile mounts
higher and higher, and extends far up
the river. This vast mass at Memphis
burst, Friday, being forced apart by a
| freshet which swept in from the Ohio.
The monstrous barrier, torn into floating
avalanches, crushed down upon the feet
of steamers below, grinding twenty of
them up like egg-shells. Boats and
cargoes were swept away, aggregating
loss of twenty millions. Due warn
ing of the danger was given and
the crews and passengers escaped
narrowly. The disaster is great one +;
it adds another weighty item to the loss
es of the year.
