soLlLoQUY OF OLD GRANDPA.

S0LIL0QUY OF OLD GRANDPA
BY A. F. HILL.
1t wasn't so when was young
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak of ''them galloots,'
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of the nice-hand- write
Of Joe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say,
"He sings nasty quill"
And when we seen gal we liked,
Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good,
But not "abOut the cheese"
Well, when we met good old friend,
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him, but didn't say,
'Hello, you old sardine"
The boys sometimes got mad and fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows:
But now they "whack him on the snoot,"
Or "paste him on the nose."
Once, when a Youth was turned away
By her he held most dear,
He walked upon his feet-but now
He "walks off ON his ear"
We used to dance, when was young,
And used to call it so;
But now they don't--they only ''sling
The light fantastic toe"
Of death, we spoke in Language plain,
That no one did perplex;
But in these days one doesn't die
He ''passes in his checks"
We praised the man of common sense;
"His Judgments good" we said;
But now they say, "Well, that old plum
"Has got level headm
1t is rather sad the children now
Are learning all SIGH talk;
They have learned to chin instead of chat,
And waltz instead of walk.
To little Harry, yesterday
My grandchild, aged two
l said, "You love grandpag" Said he,
"You bet your boots dow
The children bowed to strangers once;
It is no longer so
The little girls as well "a boys. ~
Now greet you with "Hellow
Oh, give ME back the good old days, u
When both the old and young
Conversed in plain, old-fashioned words,
And slang was never "slnng."

great variety of diseases, it embraces
a large amount of information inter-
esting to the merchant, the mechan-
ic, the miner, the farmer, the planter,
and professional man; and the calcu-

suitable for a correct and -comprehen-
siye National Calendar.
The, nature, uses, and extraordi-
nary sanitary effects of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the staple tonic and
Alternative Of more than half of the
Christian world. are fully set forth
in it's pages, which are also inter
spersed with pictorial illustrations,
valuable recipes for the household
and farm, humorous anecdotes, and
other instructive and amusing read
ing matter, original and selected.
Among the Annals to appear with
the opening of the year, this will be
one of the most useful, and may be
had for the asking. The proprietors,
Messrs. Hostetter Smith, Pitts

stamp, will forward copy by mail
to any person who cannot procure
one in his neighborhood. The Bit
tiers are sold in every city, town and

air has suddenly and sharply abated
at least one nuisance which has long
been poisoning the political atmos-
phere of the Republic and making
the representation Of the States the
rotten-b borough of anybody whose
purse and impotence reached deep
enough. We shall not have anymore
Senators by purchase for quite
long time probably. The day of
Morgans, Pattersons, Chambers,
Vests, Claytons, Dorseys, Camerons,
Conovers, Joneses, or Spencers, is
over. But the XLIyth Congress
will enable the country to rid itself
of some Of it's present Senators by
purchase. ada
There is no question but that
dread of the undiscovered country of
investigation into which Senators
Clayton and Dorsey must presently
travel has led those champion South

pale themselves upon their bare bod
kin of Smith. 1.-THE half of what
we hear be true-and much Of it is
upon record, though still sleeping, in
the files Of the Senate Chamber
which they dishonor by their pres
cnce-neither Clayton nor Dorsey Is
likely to linger out his term. Why
Ishould they be permitted to do so?
They obtained their seats by naked,
barefaced, disgraceful fraud and cor
Iruption. The country has no fur
ther use for them, and even the Re-
publican party, which once sustained
them and prevented their actions and
characters from being inquired into

neech-purchased, too, by the way,
but all the better for that, perhaps,
and at any rate, most opportune and
seasonable. The President will miss
Jones, a,wise counsellor in extremis;
but the best of friends must part,
and Jones has come to the dividing
Of the ways. Hercules must make
his choice, and the siren Jones must
go. Nevada needs his presence, not
in the Senate, but at home. d-
