Is the Agony over"
With the coming Of au;umn's tears,
; ON the wings of the wind from the west,
y How sweet to remember the time
When VIC softly pulled down our vest,
I Our vest,
y When We sweetly pulled down our vest.
These days were filled with pleasure,
= For she Of the dimpled chin
Smiled softly on us from violet eyes,
Il Though her lips merely murmureu TOO tAll
| Too thin,
Now 'Gustus, that's too awful thn.' (And j
was, too
All, those were the days ever happy,
I Chock full OF JOY, heaven blest
/ on, perfume Of sweet flowers faded
viii our mem'ry ncer give us rest:
! A rest?
Will our mcm'ry ne'er give us rest:
These sad autumnal mornings
These sad autulnnal nights!
These those as it were, these-that Is
These everything chastc, pure, ana white
And white.
These something, so chastc so white.

William.
The soul has gone out Of the torch.light,
| And the oil.capc is hung In the shed;
And the man who used to sport them at mid

We've got the coroner any way-whoopee,
Medical men say that when man is full OF

Upon the front piazza, beneath the silver moon,
Ignoring the old gentleman, they'd gurge and
they'd spoon
Till he grew sick Of watching them, and left with
movements quick,
Remarking: 81 must now turn in-this damp air
makes me sick"
And don't you forget it-Icep your eye on the
date--that our Uncle Sammy will change his
lodgings on the 5th OF March
II there is anything at the present time that
gives us hope for better or higher intellectual
standard among the American people, it is the
living of the PIE We about Louisiana. 1t is even
superior to its lying about Tilden. For instance
it says "there is no sort of doubt that there is
large majority of republicans in the state il they
could only turn out and vote but they are to a
large degree tmid, scary blacks, who are in
moral fear ofthc White League Confederates and
absent themselves from tn. polls by thousands.
This is the misfortune Of the Republican party in
that state" That removes the bloody. shirt from
the shrubbcry.
