CHILDE BERTRAMS END;
Or, The yvaggish Suicide.

Childe Bertram was a merry wag,
Like Hamlet's friend historic,
Who'd set the table in roar
Full often In New Yorick.
In earliest tide of childhood he
Assumed the cap-and-bells
And riysled Mr.. Sothern In
The number Of his sells.
Soon AS the first Of April dawned,
With voice as son as silk.
Some simple playmate he would WOO
To quest for pigeons milk.
Deep in unfathomable doors
He'd work his dark design
On old, rheumatic misers, with
A cent and ball OF twine.
When grown TO mans estate his time
He'd lavishly devote
To sending friends TO see man
Who had for them an cat.
Or he would stir their hearts and minds
To rage and mutiny,

But with Childe Bertram times went hard
And fortune pressed him sore;
He found nor cash nor customers,
In his basket and his store.
His friends fell OF, his health decayed,
And he at last was moved
To do the thing that Cato did
And Addison approyed.s
"To-morrow, quotha, a" will die,
Even as jester ought"
And AS he planned his suicide,
He chuckled at the thought.

it be . recent attack or a lingering cough, the

LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY.

In the Senate IN act TO enforce the collection Of
taxes against railroads, was tabled. A resolve ap-
propriating $24 800 for the Agricultural College
was reported. Bills were reported to incorporate
the Andover Dairy Association, the Canton and
Dxfeld cheese factory, the North Livermore
cheese company, and the Wayne cheese factory
association. A bill was reported to amend the
pension act so that no soldier or sailor who en-
listed in the war of 1861, who may become de-
pendent on any city or town shall on that account
be considered pauper or subject to disfranchist-
ment. An act additional to an act establishing
the Portland and Rochester railroad company was
amended and passed.
In the House the capital punishment question
was discussed deliberately. The bill 10 abolish
was defeated-69 tool.
