INTRODUCTORY OBsERyATloS.-The story

stately prose. while the remainder is embelllsneo
with the gems OF pocsy, is true 10 Wit:
There was fair maid in our town
U{ wears some eeventten:
She was eorter blonde brunette,
And run sone mach1ne-
Ops,-This sone machine WAS one Of the 2V9
b, ,ands which took the first premium over all
others ut the Centennial Exhibition.
And she Was also, too. besides,
An arch and sly coket; ...
And nAnDyun Inanyah nice young man
Was capchercd IN her mel
OBs.-And very pretty mesh she made OF
1t, too.
And Of these nice young gent1emen'
Each victim said, !"Shca mtne!'
But when he asked her 70 10 say,
She merely answered, ''Ncin!'
OBs.-Showing that she had passed much OF
her time in the study Of the German language
39f she did No more
And of these nice young gentlemen,
Each victim did bewall,
Like unto puppies with tea-ket-
Tie. tied unto their tail
OBs-Though it is but Justice to the gentle
men to state that their behavior was tar more
superior to that Of other puppies alluded to, as
they did not run down the streets. scattering
terror in their path, thrashing The tln-Ware
along the sidewalks and thereby afforlipg en-
1ertalument for man and beast BY the ludl-
crousness OF their movements. To resume:
Unto this aorter blonde brunette,
i letter came one day.
From one who sifted golden sands,
In Cal For Nigh A.
OBs.-He worked, as California miners do,
with q cradle; and the letter made All offer,
which, If accepted, might bring into use another
iil-alyised jokes. Jokes are matters OF dollars
aud ceuts now-a-days,-of dollars, anyhow, ii
not of sense To resume again:
This California writer, now,
He WIS IN ancient tiame,
And unto her he offered straight
His fortune and his name.
OBs-The name was Smith perchance thief for
tune was myth. also. well. il there hasn't an
hclding in with both hands Jcstso.) To resume:
This captivating blonde brunette,
To This old dam: did write,
t'Send two hundred dollars. and
Appoint the wedding night
ODs-The money stralghtway came forthwith.
II her letter had been dun for a grocery bill it
souldn't hare brought the money quicker.
Just then photographer
OF Monroe avenue
Assaulted the tender heart OF her,
SO faithful and 80 true
OnBs.-Therc isn't any observation to observe
to this verse. 1t explains itself. To resumpt
thc resume:
Now this true hearted blonde brunette
into the last did say,
I'll give my heart to you, and not
10 Cal For Nigh 4.
Ons.-Shc then remarked to the Photographic
car that the moon was made OF green cheese
The artist thought it mite be SO, such Il thought
h2d curd to him in that whey before And
There goes another spontaneous, donb1e-back
stitr se&f-acting joke 1t will not take lont. at
this rate to rcnnet into the ground.)
These lunar observations made,
Tie blonde brunette set forth
That sne was still in need Of funds,
Some twenty dollars worth
OBs--Rather than have the nuptials hang fire,
the artistic astronomical student took $s2j worth
of stock, all paid in. He is now awaiting the re-
port OF the Directors. But, to resume:
He'll have to wait until his teeth
Do uther aud fall out ~
Until his eyes grow dark and dim
His hair, snowy rout-
ODs.-You may know what a SNOWY rout fs.
The muses. don't; but it does not interfere with
the truth Of the history, SO there is po1hi,,r to
do but to 60 on and resume:
4 Canuck with come whiskess like
A saffron dogiets tail,
Whose feet were like two fQel-scoEs
Denudcd Of their sail;
Whose voice was like the singing saw
That gnaws the wood in two
And esued from the month Us wide
As Woodward ayenue:-
This cauuck Adonis Ncui
And be did Eidi too,
Ana he did finally Wei
The blonde brunette so true.
nc married her ut once, ye gods!
He hurried her away,
And settled her within his ranche
In far of canada.
And thus be favcd her. or she might
lave married t'other two.
Perhaps hundred more besides,
II she 20 many knew
ors.-T1e capital stock having been taken
oy parties in California aud Monroe avenue, the
operation OF the Canuckian Adonis reminds one
ot The way some OF our 1le-insurauce compa-
mes are managed; in cases, to wit, where e
capital aud assets are gobbled UP by one man
vino can then afford to indulge in his propcnsi-
Ties 10 travel, and 70 abroad strange countries
1or to Sec But Of that, morernon.
