Josh BiIIise:. on Silence.
Silence is a still noise.

Silence is still noise.
One ov the hardest things for a
man to do is to keep still.
Everybody wants tew be heard
fust and thai is what fills the world
with nonsense.
The greatest takers among the
feathered folks is the magpie, and the
ginny hen, and neither ov them il ov
much account.
If man amt sure he IL right

one.

Sum men talk just as a French pony

Silence never makes emmy blum

Brevity and silence are the 2 CRATE

THE MARRIED MAN.
There was a time some years ago,
.Ahi I remember we'll;

44SIo WdS q tlluo SOlue y Gals oSO3
All! / remember we'll;
1t makes my heart in pity beat
When of its woes tell;
OF cold beds of a winters night
o! equal them who can
But all such things have passed away,
For Pm married man.
o! then my 'kerchiefs were in shreds,
No buttons on my shirt,
My socks were gaping at the heels,
My room was filed with dirt.
But now my hsndkerchiefs are whole
My socks are darned by Ann.
My shirts have every-butten on,
For I'm married man.
There was fox who saw some grapes
Hang.on garden wall;
He thought them sour, because, forsooth
He got no taste at oil.
And so it is with bachelors
And men without {. plan;
They rave, yet crave, and think slaVe
Is but a married man,
There's Sal, and Pete, and little Jim,
And Katie, Sue, and Mamie;
There's Julie, Pat and Timothy,
And Mollie, Bill and Annie, 20
Ny babies all, and there's the twins,
And my aunt just from Japan
o! bliss, that like the sunbeams fall
To bless the married man.
Now, bachelors, and married men
Who'd better be alone
If in cold beds you love to sleep,
With feet as cold as stone
If heelless still your stockings are,
Why, bear it while you can;
But don't think I'm the same as you
For Pm married man.

The MoDocs.-It seems that these
ferocious savages do not live by hunt
ing, but that they are root eaters,
thus forming an exception to the rule
which assigns root eaters to the low
est class OF Indians. They are said
to have some proud traditions and
inspiring legends. The Missouri Re
pu6licaal, which seems well versed in
their history, relates the following:
Not far from where they now stand
at bay they point to a high rock upon
which a band. of their warriors was
once be]eagared. All retreat being
cut off, and no escape possible except
by voluntary death, the Modocs stood
up in line upon the brink Of the diz-
zy precipice, sang their death song
with defiant gestures in full view Of
their enemies on the plains below,
locked their hands and sprang with
a shout Of triumph to instant death.

The New Orleans Herald, replying
to the late eulogistic remark Of Mr.
A. H. Stephens that Gen. Grant had
Impressed himself upon the people
of the United States" says that with
respect to the people of Louisiana the
remark is certainly true, and that
bayonets were the instruments he
made use of in accomplishing that
result. The Herald might have ex-
tended it's remarksto the whole South.

to the truth Of history. And the
more Grant impresses himself just
that much more do we find the coun-

final catastrophe. The only hope left
"the country is in getting rid of
that impression, and the sooner the
better.-Montgomery Advertiser.

A Model Love Letter.

Since the light of your face fell
upon my life l sometimes feel as if |
could lift myself up by my bootstraps
to the top Of the church steeple, ard
pull the rope for singing school. Day
and night you are in my thoughts.
When Aurora, blushing like BRIDE,
rises from her saffron colored couch :
when the jay bird pipes; his: tunelul
lay in the apple tree by the spring
house; when the chanticleer's shrill
clarion heralds the coming morn:
when the awakened pig arises from
his bed and grunteth, and goeth for
his refreshments; when the drowsy
beetle wheels his droning flight at
sultry noontide1 and when the low
ing herds come home at milking time,
I think of thee; and like piece Of
gum elastic, my heart seemsstretched
clean across my bosom. Your hair is
like the name Of a sorrel horse pow
.dered with gold; and the brass pins
skewered through your waterfall fill
me with unbounded awe. Your eyes
are glorious to behold. In theirliquid
depths I seellegions of little cnpids
bathing, like a cohort of ants in an
old army cracker When their fire
hit me upon my manly breast, itpen.
etrated my whole anatomy, as a load
of bird-shot through a rotten apple.
Your nose is from chunk Of Parian
marble, and your mouth is puckered
with sweetness. Nectar fingers on
your lips like honey on bears paw; +;
and myriads Of unfeaged kisses are
there like blue-birds out of their pa
rents nest. Your laugh rings iii my
ear like the wind harp's strain, or the
bleat Of the stray lamb on the bleak
hillside. The dimples on your cheeks
are like bowers in beds Of roses or
hollows in cakes of homemade sugar.
If these few remarks will enable
you to see the inside of my soul, and
me to win your affection, I shall be
as happy as woodpecker on cherry
tree, or stage horse in green pas
ture. If you cannot reciprocate my
thrilling passion, I will pine away
like a poisoned bug, and fall away
from the ,fourishing vine Of life, like
an untimely branch; and in coming
years, when the shadows grow from
the hills, and the philosophical frog
sings his cheerful evening hymns,
you, happy in another's love, can
come and drop a tear and catch cold
upon the last resting place of
Yours affectionately,

Those who want to enjoy real, earnest,
genuine fun, should go to the st. Charles
Theatre matinee to-day and listen to and
look at Mr.. Sol Smith Russell, the great
American humorist in his laughable char
acters, the best among which aye the silly
school boy reading his composition on the
horse, and the women's rights woman's lee
ture on woman's rights.
The bell ringing of the Bergers, the cor
net solo of Miss Anna Berger, aud the songs
and ballads of Miss Nellie +. Knapp, and,
in fact, the whole entertainments are at
tracing.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1873-01-08
The Bell Ringers and Father Mo

Iut neil IkIUgeGb Hhu
Some four years ago when the Peake and
Berger family Of bell ringers were giving
some Of their entertainments at the Varie-
ties Theatre, the season being late or early,
the agent, Mr.. w. w. Fowler, who is now
acting IN the same capacity for the Berger
family, made some effort to induce entire
schools to attend the entertainment at
greatly reduced rates.
Among Others to whom this invitation
was extended was Father Moynihan, of the
st. John the Baptist Church, with the
school under his control, and right here be-
gan a mistake The reverend father, him
self most amiaDle and generous gentle
man, got the idea that Mr.. Fo8lers invita-
ton to his school was intended to admit the
children without money and without price.
They went, a gentleman accompanying
them.
All of them had passed into the theatre,
when it was found that nobody came pre-
pared to pay. Out into the street rushed
the doorkeeper to the agent, who happened
to be near Johnny Hawkins establishment,
exclaiming, when he found that gentleman,
Mr.. Fowler, you are wanted at the theatre
immediately There is some mistake. Father
MCMILLAN has sent several hundred chill
dren down, who have gone N without pay,
and be sent word that YOU invited him to
do So"
Mr.. Fowler was naturally bewildered but
light dawned upon him, and Father MOyni-
han had madesa mistake. lie INTERCEPTED
the gentleman who came with them, and
discussing the question, the conclusion was
reached that Father Moynihar would make
it all right. In fact, the gentleman would
take the responsibility TO 80 assure the
agent
Glow many children are there here ?
| asked Mr.. Fowler.
"Seven hundred" was the reply.
every well, then; We will call ic even
seventy dollars, ten cents head
After the performance the agent reported
| the matter to Mr.. Peake.
Mr.. Peake-''I advise you, Fowler, to lei
this matter rest just where it is.'
Mr.. FowIer-"Wby so!'
Mr.. Peake-"Father Moynihan is building
church You may 60 10 him and he viii
pay you seventy dollars without hesitation
and then he will ask you to give him hun
dred dollars for his church"
The matter did rest, and the Fowler ad
mitted that he was entrapped.

show.

This mastodon combination, replete in all
its appointments, will inaugurate short
season in our city, commencing next Mon

their location, and will erect their NAM
moth pavilions there. Since the great show
of "old" John visited us last it has quad

business during the present season has
been unprecedented.
We learn from Mr.. Sam II. Joseph, adj
vertising agent of Mr.. Robinson, that dur
ing the stay of the show in this city, one
day will be set apart for the free admission
of public school teachers and the children
of the orphan asylums in this city.
