IN THE VALLEY.
BY W. +. MEElIAM.

Soft music fingers in the air,
Born of breeze and strcamict fair;
Green laurel, with its snow white bloom,
Lights the forests sea green bloom.
Giant trees, on the aged rocks,
SHAKE to the air their Vcr,lant locks;
Tangled vines their tcndris throw
From tree to tree, and clinying grow.
Bending ferns kiss soft the breeze,
And dmp!cd brooks dart through the
trees,
And happy birds their carols sing
Till the darkcncd forests ring.
Sunbcams flash on the cripsy stream,
Like golden stars in heaven -lcam,
And shadows DER the valley flow.
Like silent phantoms, come and go.

While half a dozen persons were
rolling along in Michigan avenue
car the other day man leaned across
the aisle and said to another
Excuse me, hut didn't bug craw,
bown behind your colIar?'
Och Ouch = exclaimed the other
as he leaped up and hauled off his
coat. He looked all over, and there
was no bug to be seen.
Perhaps it crawled down under
Your vest, suggested the man.
Off came the vest, and it was close
ly inspected without making any dis
coveries. The attentive stranger then
made the victim turn round two or
three times to see if the bug was not
hidden under his suspenders, and
when a thorough search had been
made the stranger sat down and said ;
1T was probably shadow fitting
across your collar, but | felt sure it
was bug. You can put on your coat
and vest again.
The more the victim thought about
it, the madder he got, but before he
put on his coat the other man left
the car and slid down Twelfth street
