REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE.

REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE. -
When VIM. H. Seward made his
tour around the world, he witnessed
some performances of jugglers in
India, which were quite surprising.
He saw a man climb bare pole so
feet high, standing in the open air,
and when he reached the top he
mysteriously disappeared. After a
while his feet reappeared, then his
legs and body and he came down.
He claimed no supernatural powers.
How did he do it?

ALEADING Paris authority in fash
ionable matters says there is moth
ing more difficult for woman to do
than to sit gracefully in "a carriage.
The lorette lies down at full length !;
the strong-minded woman crosses
her legs; the .bourgeoise sticks up
her knee; the waiting maid leans
over the side; and the high-bred
lady only holds herself as she ought
to do without either carelessness or
stiffness, and looking as though she
had been born in carriage.

Many and many year ago,
When we old folks were young,
In giving language to our thoughts
We used our mother tongue.
But now the age has grown SO fast
The old words are forgot,
And nothing will suffice us now
But slang that is red hot.
In those old times we never said
Of Joe or Tom or Bill,
In speaking of their penmanship,
HE slings a nasty quill"
In speaking of a man of sense,
His judgments good" they said;
But now they say, 1.-The old sardine
Has got level head"
Once angry words would lead to blows;
But now, when ''galoot"
"Giyes too much chin,'' or puts on frills, y
We paste him in the snoot."
In sorrow then they spoke of death,
With pale and trembling lip;
But now Hes handed in his checks,
Or, "the duffer slipped his grip"
Then, as they grasped friendly hand,
Trey said, "How do you do?"
But now, "What have you got that's freshY'
Or, "Well, old chap, what's new"
Then, "He plays billiards WE'LL we said
OF one excelled by few;
But now, "Well, he is not a SLOUGH;
He shoves healthy cue"
Once on a time man danced we'll
Alas is so no more;
Hes just the boy can shake himself
When you boost him on the floor
4 man once used to go to lunch
When eating time drew near;
But now he'll 'wrastle with his hash,
Or tackle his daily beer"
Old friends at meeting used to pledge
Each other in cup;
But now it is, Here's to yer, Bill?'
And, George, just hang that up"
oh, give me back those good old days,
When both the old and young
Used none but true old-fashioned words,
And slang was never slung.
