Too Little, Eth P

Two little girls are better than one,
Two little boys can double the fun,
Two little birds can build fine nest,
Two little arms can love mother best,
Two little ponies must go to a span,
Two little pockets has my little man,
Two little eyes to open and close,
Two little ears and one little nose,
Two little elbows dimpled and swee:,
Two little shoes on two little feet,
Two little lips and one little chin,
Two little cheeks with rose set in,
Two little shoulders, chubby and strong,i
Two little legs running all day long,
Two little prayers does my darling say,
Twice does he kneel by my side each day,
Two little folded hands, soft and brown,
Two little eyelids cast meekly down,
And two little angels guard him in bed,
One at the foot and one at the head.

That Colorado Beetle.

Vat is that schwirring through the air,
Vat gapes and stares the people?
Vat run they here, Vat run they there,
Vat clang the bells in tow'r und steeple
Vat clamor young, vat clamor old,
Vat clamor big und leetle?
Alas they elamor all. "Beholdl
That Colorado Beetle !"
For endless streams of burghers, armed
Nit pick und spade und hoe,
Had ramparts raised in circle charmed
Around the dreaded foe
Bad waged a ruthless war amain
With naphtha, benzolne,
But flames und smoke were all in vain
They'd go. no paris green
IND high above the battles fray,
Der ditch and rampant dug,
They saw it wing its airy way
That Colorado Bug!
And now thousand dollus be
In hard cash the reward,
For proof ant be He or she,
That Colorado Fraud

Happiness.

The idea has been transmitted from
generation to generation, that happi-
ness is one large and beautiful pre-
cious stone,a single gem so rare, that
all search after it is vain, all effort
for it, hopeless. 1t is not so. Hap
piness is mosaic, composed of many
smaller stones. Each taken apart
and viewed singly, may be of little
value, but when all are grouped to-
gether, and judiciously combined
and set, they from pleasing and
graceful whole-a costly Jewel.
Trampled not under foot, then the
little pleasures which gracious
Providence scatters in the daily path,
and which, in eager search after some
great and exciting joy, wo are so apt
to overlook. Why should we always
keep our eyes fixed on the bright,
distant horizon, while there are go
many roses in the garden in which
we are permitted to walk? The very
ardor of our chase after happiness.
may be the reason that she so often
eIudes our grasp We pantingly
strain after her, when she has been
brought nigh unto US.

BALTIMORE WEEKLY SUN.-One Of the
best family journals published in the United
States is the Baltimore Weekly San, a large
eight page journal containing news from all
parts of the world, original and selected
stories, poetry, and general reading. The
last number contains full and accurate ac-
count Of the great railroad riot, in addition,
to which the attractive original story of
"Marie," written in competition for the
prizes of the Weekly Sun, is continued in
the present number, and will be concluded
next week. Among other features Of this
number of the Weekly Sun are "Elam's Ad-
venture - America in Africa,' ''Down in
Dorset" poetry, general news and edito-
rails. There will also be found correspon-
dence, original agricultural articles OF prac-
tical value to the farming interests of the
country, market and commercial reports.
&c. The fact that the Weekly Sun more
than holds its own in these hard times is
one of the most encouraging proofs that the
labors of its proprietors to instruct, enter
tain and be OF real value to the community,
and at the same time to seek their moral as
we'll as material good, by excluding from
their journal all that would be repugnant to
delicacy and good taste, are universally and
heartily appreciated.

My patience was exhausted, and the
panggs OF hunger were strong upon ME; so,
selling the pot, made off to my room,
and supped tfstew and bread, to the
great disappointment of PIANO, who would
have had the whole OF his promised
courses ready if had waited till past
midnight. This is not an exceptional case,
but rather tllerule Of dilatory action than
otherwise, and a type Of the manner in
whichSthe~ whole administration Of the
country, public, private, and domestic, is
carried on.
My trouble with PIANO, the Interpreter,
was almost rs great rs my annoyance with
PIANO, the caterer. At the risk Of trying
the patience of my readers, will give an
instance of the difficulties which usually
beset me.
I am passing field, and espy crop
which have never seen before, and a
man working in the field. call up the
interpreter. don't know, sir" ASK
that man, and find out all about it." He
talks to the man for about ten minutes.

sin thatshe- plants little seeds, and it
CREWS like that" Dies hesg,ive tito his
horses sor cattle?" another long talk
now takes place, and the answer comes
at last. No, he does not give it to his
cattle" "What does he do with it then?"
More talk. "He says it is little white,
sort of brown color" "WelL, what does
he do with it,"
A very long conversation, carried on in
crescendo tones, and which became very
excited. Now we shall have it. i" He
says, sir, that there is little oil in the
seed" "Well, what does he do with the
oil?" Talk. "He sells the OIL" "Do
people burn the oil?" Talk. "No he
says people do not burn the OIL" "What
do they do with it," Talk "He says
they eat the OIL" "What is the name of
it," Talk. "Hc says they call it differ
ent names.'' What is it generally
called?" Talk. "He says it IS some
times called Sesame" He then plunges
into violent conversation, until you would
suppose quarrel brewing, and at last
says: "This man says that cattle are
very fond of that"
This leads to new line of inquiry, and,
at last, out of all the answers, learn that
the plant is called Sesame; that it is
grown for its seed, which is made into
oil; that this oil is eaten with various
kinds of food; that the refuse is given in
the form of oil cake," to cattle; that it
is summer crop and profitable.
