Jim and Sal.

One quiet day in leafy June,
When bees and birds were all IN tune,
Two lovers walked beneath the moon.
The night was fair-so was the maid;
They walked and talked beneath the shade,
With none to harm or make afraid.
Her name was Sal, and his was jim;
He was fat and she was slim;
He took her and she took him.
Saws jim to Sal-by all the snakes
That live and squirm among the lakes,
love you better than-buckwheat cakes.
Saws she to Jim-since you've begun it,
And been and gone and done 1t:
love you next to a new bonnet.
Saws jim to Sal-my heart you've busted;
To Franks I'll go, but won't get trusted,
For always | have gals -mistrusted.
SAYS Sal to jim, through thick and thin,
For your true lover, count me in.
Jim leaned to Sal-Sal leaned to him;
His nose Just reaching above her chin.
Four met-went ahem-and then-and then
Avowed they'd buy wedding clothes OF FRANZ
of him.
For FRANKS motto is small profits and ready
quick sale,
To fit and to please yOu-he never will fail;
For by fair dealing, as every one knows,
Is the reason his business so steadily grows,
You never need fear-he'n tell you the truth
For that's been his habit from earliest youth.

No matter the day-warm weather or cold.

the empire Ell Dorado on account OF
the gold which he found in the tenn
ples. and throughout the city; plates,

the precious metal.
Raleigh speaks of a race whose
heads did not appear above their
shoulders, and adds: "Though 1t
NAV be thought a mere fable, yet
for mine own part 1 am resolved
It is true. They are called Ewaipa-
noma. They are reported to have
ewes in their shoulders, and their
mouths in the middle of their
breasts. and thas long train of hair
croveth backward between their
shoulders." These people, however,
were not pretended to be the inhabi-
tants of the empire of the gilded
king.
Though we can not fail to regret
the waste of labor and life which
the fable OF Ell Dorado caused, yet
il must be confessed that it led to
many scientific discoveries. But
while many facts we're brought for
ward, they we're so mixed up with
fables, defying almost all attempts
to separate the evil from the good,
that we cannot be much surprised

vailed up to q very late period.
