TRUTHS AND TRIPLES.

BRIGNoLI reappeared in London re-
Gently, after an absence of eight years.
The critics say his voice is not what it
was once, but he uses it with such skill
as well-nigh to hide the ravages of time.
WHO knows the deeps, where the water sleeps
Leagues from the fight away?
who no, knows the heights where myriad lights
Fill heaven with endless day?
The earth goes On-seeks and loses the sum-
And men I'm the changes delight;
Love whirls us away into changeless day. ' -t
Or whelms us In changeless night.
-Scribner.
SMITH, the future poet laureate, has
beaten every one who wrote of the sea
sons before. He has got the four seasons
into four lines, for which he charged the
editor of the Blue Buzzer four dollars.
This is the poem:
First comes the sneeze,
Then come the pease,
Then come the feas, ....r
Then II begins to Freeze"
A CORRESPONDENT writing from the
Upper Nile, says: All that has been
wri tten about the patient and docile
camel is humbug. No greater fraud
exists among the beasts of burden. He
is never satisfied with anything, and is
always howling and yelling like mad.
He invariably gets up before you are
fairly on him, and comes down with a
"whop" just at the time and place not
wanted. My first experience at Wady-
Halfa nearly cost me my neck. The
brute got up before was fairly mounted,
and tossed me several feet over his head.
However, in few days learned their
tricks, and can now get the best of them.
AN old bachelor thus impeaches wO-
man: l impeach her in the name of the
great whale of the ocean, whose bones
are torn asunder to enable her to keep
straight. l impeach her in the name of
the peacock, whose strut, without his
permission, she has stealthily and with
out honor assumed. l impeach her i'm
the name of the horse, whose tail she has
perverted from its use to the making of
wavy tresses to decorate the back of the
head and neck. l impeach her in the
name of the kangaroo, whose beautiful
figure, she, in taking upon her the Gre
clan bend, has brought into ill favor and
disrepute.
"AH" said Sunday-school teacher (
"ah, Caroline Jones, what do you think
you would have been without your good
father and pious motherW 81 suppose,
said Caroline, who was very much
struck with the soft appeal suppose,
mum, as should ha' been horphan."
On, to see the new grass springing
And he not here
Oh, to see the sun awaking
Another yearl a. rF 'tIl
To hear the soft May winds caressing
The budding trees;
To know that violets are blooming
Upon the leas;
To see the birds return together
From wandering!-
The longing heart feels all its sorrow, .I4
In the spring.
-Appleton's Journal
A MAN dressed in sailor costume was
up in a criminal court the other day
upon charge of stealing pair of boots
AS he had no counsel, the Court appointed
a young lawyer to take charge Of the de-
fense. The lawyer opened the case with
a speech in which he alluded to his cli-
ent cas- child of the sad sea waves, nurs-
ling of the storm, whom the pitiless
pillows had cast, forlorn and friendless
wait, upon the shores of time, after life
spent in fierce and heroic contest with
the elements" Then the defendant was
put in the dock, and the fact was revealed
that he was cook upon a canal boat, pre-
vious to which he had hawked fish. The
nursing of the storm" is now in Jail
FOr six months.
