Honorable III. S. Magoon.

The Washington correspondent
of the GAINESVILLE Gazette has some
thing to say about the Representative
from the Third District. We quote ::
"Mr. Magoon is well fitted to serve
on the Education and Labor Commit
tee, and with Mr.. Lamar, of Missis.
sippi, and Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts,,
will give sufficient strength, whatever
ability tie balance of the committee
may possess BY the way, here is
something | do not mind telling, as
the member from the Sd district is at
home for the holidays. He is, as his
friends all know, rather quiet in his
manners; a mild, schoolboy sort of a
man, faultless in dress, and not bit
off hand, like most western men. On
the contrary, ladies call him diffident.
"But Colonel Sellers story on zap
pearance' will not apply to Mr.. Ma
COON, who went. just before the recess,
to one of the departments TO business.
He was introduced by senior mem
Der of the delegation, who, in an
aside informed the official that Mr..
Magoon was a new member, inexpe-
rienced, and withal modest, timid
man. The senior paved the way,
with pleasant words complimentary
to the new member, and left him to
the kind consideration of the official.
"The next time the Senior saw the
official. the latter called out : Don't
talk to me about your mild men.
Don't bring any more mild men up
here. No more Of your quiet, modest
men for me. Why, could not get
rid of him. He is bound to have
what lie wants, and sticks till he gets
it. The Senior, and escort of the
mild man. says he cannot think OF the
joke without INDUCING in hearty
laugh. :"

Bury Me by the River.


We received yesterday morning,
through the Postofice, a communities
ton from our bucolic friend and poet
ess, agatha" few touching verses
which she says she dashed off "while
under a cloud" The poem was en-
titled:
"BURY Me BY THE RIVER.
And goes on as follows
Bury me by the river.
Where the water murmers low.
Now we pause right here to ask
the author if she is dead really dead,
or does she want to be buried alive ?
There is no river near except the
Truckee, and its waters are murmur-
ing pretty high just now, but if the
English ditch will do for a river, we
will attend to the job. She then
goes on to say:
Bury me where the willows
In their graceful beauty grow,
Bury where the sunset
Lingers with its brightest CLEAN
Near the margin of the river
Lay me by the running stream
We will do it if it is possible to pro-
cure horse and hearse. A funeral
cortege with oxen hitched to the
mourner's carriage will be awful, you
know. She then further remarked
Let no II arble shaft stone
Mark the spot where must lie,
Lay me meath the moss and fern
With the river sweeping by.
All right; we conld not afford
marble slab, even if she wanted it,
and expect it will be difficult to find
piece Of ground "where graceful will
lows grow, the sunset fingers near the
margin Of The river, by running
stream (no still water will suit,) and
beneath the moss and fern" in this
land of sagebrush. Washoe cannaries
| and zephyrs but we will try. She
wants a cemetery lot all to herself,
| too:
| Not where many sleep in numbers
Would have my resting place.
For alone in life wander
And in death would leave no trace.
| We hardly know what is meant by
'sleaving no trace" unless she is a
harness-maker' daughter and is com
PEELED to stitch tugs for livelihood,
and her work is so poor she wants 1T
buried with her; but it makes no

trace, breeching and hemstrap on the
premises and bury them, as she
requests. She wants more attention
vet, for she adds:
/ Lay me where the moons soft rays,
| On my grave will sometimes fall,
| And the wthered Autumn leaves
| Ger my breast will make pail.
First she wanted to be buried where
the ''sunset fingers )" now she thinks
"where the moons rays fall' would
suit her better. But if the willows
grow there, fern and MOSES will not
any botanist knows that--and willow
leaves amt worth cent for making a
pail, but that is her lookout. She
winds up thus:
Lay me where the sunme breezes
| And the starlight's s1lvery beam
| Will make the robbins gentle MARBLE
| While they sing my requiem
This is too much we can't go to
all this expense, unless she RENTS a
money order to pay expenses incur
red in finding the kind of spot
desired. agatha" cheer up Eat
a square meal of corned beef and
cabbage, and split wood or do large
washing and instead of wanting the
robins to sing requiem over your
grave, you will prefer to have them
made into a potpie for your dinner.
The hard times have made you
melancholy.
