Paddy's Version Of Excelsior.

Twas growing dark so terrible fash,
When through town up the mountain there
pasht
A broth OF boy, to his neck in the shnow
As he walked his shelalah he swung to and fro
Saying, ''It's up to the top I'm bound to 90,
Be jabers ~
lie looked mortal sad and his eyes were as
bright
As a fire Of turf on a cowd winther night,
And divil word what he said could We tell,
As lie opened his mouth and let out yell,
cts up to the top of the mountain I'll 90,
Onless covered up with this bothersome shnow,
Be jabbers ~
Through the windows he saw as he Travelled
along,
The light of the candles and fires so warm
But a big chunk of ice hung over his head
Wild a shnivil and groan, ''By st. Patrick ~ he
said,
''It's up to the very tIp-top L will rush,
And then if it falls, it's not me it'll crush,
Be jabers -
''Whist bit - said an ovid man, with head
as white
As the shnow that fell down on that miserable
night
'Shure, yell fall in the wather, me bit of a lad,
For the night is so dark and the walking so had!'
Bedad he'd rot lisht to a word what was said,
But he'd go to the top if he went On his head,
Be jabcrs -
a bright, buxom young girl, such as likes to be
kissed,
Axcd him wadn't he shtop, and how could he
resist
So shnapping his finger and winking his eve,
While shmiling upon her he made this reply
'Faith meant TO kape on till got to the top,
But rs your swate self has axed me | NAV as
well shtop,
Be jabers -
lie shtopped all night and he shtopped all day,
And We mustn't be axing when he did 90 away
Fur wouldn't he be a bastely gosson
TO be LAWN his darlint in the shwate honey
moon
Nhin the ould man has praties enough and to
spare,
'huEe he might as well stay if he's comfortable
there,
Be jabers! -

Do not laugh at that drunken man reel
ing through the street. However ludicrous
the sight may be, just pause and think.
He is going home to some tender heart
that will throb with intense agony; some
doting mother perhaps. who will srieve
oyer the downfall of her once sinless boy
or it may be fond wife whose heart will
almost burst with grief as she views the
destruction of her idol or may be 4 loving
sister who will shed bitter tears over the
degradation of her brother, shorn off his
manliness and self respect Rather drop a
a tear in silent sympathy with those hearts
SO keenly sensible and tender, yet to proud
and loyal that they cannot ACCEPT sym
pathy tendC red them either in weNl, look,
or act, although it might fall upon their
crushed and wounded hearts as refreshing
ly as the summer dew upon the whitening
plant.

Cincinnati last week. The plague is on the

The Washington hotel landlords COM

Continues horribly dull-in fact there isn't
any business. The hotels are empty, the
wholesale trade is nothing, and the retail
trade is not half what It ought to be. The

the New Yorker who has n store on his
hands for which he is paying $4,000 rent
per annum. His expenses go on mercilessly
