A Burlesquc on the Boy Stood ON
the Burning Deck.

The mule stood on the steamboat deck,
The land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter round his neck,
And cracked him on the head.
Yet firm and steadfast there he stood,
As if born TO rule,
\ creature of heroic mould,
Was that very stubborn mule.
They cussed and swore, he wouldn't 60,
Until he felt inclined, ...
And though they showered blow on blow,
lie would not change his mind.
The Captain from the shore replied, 81
That mule is bound to stay,
And every other means were tried,
Suppose you twist his tail.
IT'S likely that will make him land,
The Captain brave though pale,
Approached him with an outstretched
hand, "-.f.
To twist the stubborn mules tail. 81
There came a sudden b!,w behind, -.r.'
The man, O, where was he?
Ask of the softly blowing wind,
The fishes in the sea.
Cut that mules throat right away,
The Captain did command,
But the uoblest creature killed that day,
Was the fearless, brave deck hand.

an excellent one and was delivered in
an effective manner. The speaker took
the ground that men should be more
practical; that trivolity was not manhood
that, as in worldly matters, We are keen to
recognize difference in values and easily
apps eciate the good from the worthless
commodity, so should we in religion be
equally careful and attentive; that We are
too apt to be theoretical Christians instead
of practical workers in the cause OF Christ

to young men to be purer in thought, mere
fearless and independent in religion and
enlarged in the necessity for more Chris

WASHINGTON, Dec 2O-The Secretary
of the Interior to- day decided upon the ap-
peal of the long contested case of the heirs
of Murray Mcconnell vs.. the Chicago x
Northwestern railway company, involving
title to the land lying on the north and at
the mouth of the Chicago river,u upon which
the depot of the company now stands, and
of which the reputed value is several mil
lions, the decision being in favor of the
company and to the effect that their title
to the land is valid.
