Too SHARP BY HALF.-An enterpris-
ing business man runs two branches of
trade, to wit: grocery and fish mark
ct. The grocery he runs himself, and
the fish market by deputy, and every
night the latter makes returns of the
proceeds of the days business to the
proprietor.
A day or two since the grocer found
in his fish market returns a counterfit
five dollar bill. He took the chance of
trying TO pass IT off again. So he called
an old darkey who was hanging about
the premises and said to him:
Sam. here's five dollar bill that 5
little doubtful. If you will take it
and pass it, I'll give you dollar out OF
the change
VERY WE'LL" said Sam, and he took
the bill and went off.
Later in the day he returned, having
accomplished the feat, and handed over
four dollars to the grocer. '7
That night the grocer, in counting
over the cash returns from his fish
market, was more surprised than de-
lighted 10 find the identical five in the

THE EsatUNES ARD.
BY EMMA J. MCGIYERN.

Thy voice has lost its gentle tone,
Thy foot its gladstone tread,
And thou art now 10 mo as one,
Long numbered with the dead.
For memory only brings thy smile,
Thy high and noble brow,
Tho look Of worth that won my heart,
Aud we'll nigh breaks it now.
Thou'rt changed, alas! how sadly changed!
Thy pressure yields no JOY;
The baneful cup is daily quaffed,
That all my hopes destroy.
An oath is ever on thy lip,
A frowu upon thy brow;
Thy step oncc did thrill my heart,
Brings naught but terror now
Long years have passed since first VIC met
Through every changing sccnc
My heart has been as much us thine own
AS though no change had been.
Now, Hope hath fled; the last faint ray
BY dark despair is crossed
How can choose but weep for thee,
My loved one aud my lost.

whose action Rutherford B. Hayes was
