One day Jean Jacque Knyfe left his ship,
And across the Isthmus he took trip;
And in his wanderings who should he see
Bat Kitty, asleep, meath mango tree?
Under the mango tree, fast asleep,
With her head on her arm, lay sweet Bo-Peep
She looked like an angel minns wings =
In her snow-white muslin and other things.
1xsd JsSb he took and sk fssd his eyes,
And swere an oath of tremendous size
That any party might take his hat
Ii he'd ever seen sight like that.
Kitty Bo-Peep started up in alarm,
And Jacque Knyfe offered to her his arm;
You'd Thought he'd known her year or two
II you'd only seen the kisses he threw.
Twas love at first sight, am sure, with he;
And ditto it was know, with She, r
She promised to meet him and tell her love
That night, at nine, in the pine apple grove.
And there, at that watching hour in June,
They whispered their love meath the round,
full moon; -
He help her fast in his manly arms,
And Toasted his eyes on her dusky charms.
The ring-tailed monkeys sported around.
And the speckled snakes squirmed over the
ground;
The crockodile paused in his wild career.
When he heard the;iS. low-toned voices near.
Oninous hour !! sad to relate
A cocoanut dropped on Jean Jacque Knyfe's
pate:
1t doubled him up-she gave Yell
And down a cold corpus Jean Jacque fell
Bo-Peep she shrieked for a glass of rum
And an ounce OF kind of native gum.
Which the generous neighbors, quick as a

Kindly supplied her with-for cash
She mixed them together, and every speck
She-drank, and fell on her Jean Jacque s
neck
Then smoothed her hair, and laid by his SIDE
And, bidding farewell to Bo-Peep died.
They buried them under the Ginkgo-tree-
Jean Jacque Knyfe and Kitty b. p;
And around the foot of the Ginkgos trunk
The mourners, I'm sorry to say, got drunk.
And over Jean jacques and Bo-Peep's grave
The winds and the bald-faced monkeys rave
This for trysting place they choose

BUDGET OF FUN.

A scene consider. bly, exciting occurred thi
morning, at the office Of Adams Express Co.,
on Chestnut St About 8 O'Clock couple OF
gentlemen were quietly walls 'ng uo"n "
their respective places Of blsih> 'ss' "hei
they were suddenly startled by the sup, 'ress
ed yet distinct cry of Let me out; I'm dyins
The words came in the shrll voice OF child
and as no children were near, it was
evident that the cause of the cry was con-
tanned in large, suspicious looking
box which stood on the pavement in
front of the express Office. and which was
marked-'RoDert Swan, New Castle, Del
aware The box was seized and turned upon
its side, when lit was observed that Its con-
tents fell with it, and the voice, which it was
now plainly evident to the crowd that had
assembled came from the inside, cried, oh,
don't; you hurt me. Let me out! Excite
ment was now at fever heat; threats of lynch
ing the party who had shipped the boy were
freely uttered, and in a few moments the
whole neighborhood became aware of the
fact that the lost boy, Charlie Ross, had been
found in box at the express office. Capital.
lists and clerks, proprietors and reporters
rushed to the scene by scores, and soon the
crowd became so dense that the street cars
were unable to move, and the whole square
was blocked by anxious inquiries and swear
ing Jehus. About the express Office things
were assuming highly interesting phase.
Some shouted to burst open the box; others
exclaimed it would be illegal; many hootedI
at the idea of stopping to enquire into its le-
gality, and added, the boy will be dead be-
fore you get it open A few women who
were among the throng took refuge in wo-
mans usual manner. and began shedding
tears coplously, at the same time uteringI
such CALCULATIONS as 'shamen 'horrible' etc.
Finally, Warren, who keeps the restaurant on
the corner, appeared with an ak, and the
crowd formed Il circle while he went at the
box with an AK So large, excited, yet So
quiet throng was never seen before--you
could hear the leaves on the trees flutter over
head, and every stroke the ak made was dis
tinctiy heard on the corner below, while I'm
dying, hurry came from the inside in a
faint voice. The top is loose; another stroke
and off it flies! A hundred pair of eyes a0x-
lously peer into the box, and in the corner,
peacefully and camly, uttering a moan of su-
preme happiness lies-an imported short
nosed hog. Sold. and such sell is not upon
record, while but a few, the initiated only,
imagine for moment that all the turore was
created by the quiet little gentleman leaning
calmly against the awning pole, twenty feet
away. and uttering not Il word. 1t was Zera,
