THREE TROURLES.

Three carpets hung waving the breeze
Abroad in the breeze as the sun went down;
And three husbands, with patches Of dust on their
knees
Wnacked whacks that were heard for miles up
and down
F T each must work and women must clean,
And the carpets Ue baaten matter how mean,
While the neighbOrs do the bOssing.
Three housewives leaued out of their. windows
raised
or their windsws raised where the light streamed
in;
And they scrubbed and scrubbed till their heads
grew ized,
And t1cir were filed with horrible din,
For pots viii fal, and kettles 90 bang
And boilers refuse in the attic to hrBG,
While the husbands do the swearing.
Three husbands went out in the haymOw to hide
In the naymOw 10 hide, where their wives ne er
looked;
Each said, as he rolled himself o'er on his side:
81 guess I will suOOze for know I am booked;
For men may swear, but women viii dust,
And before I'll move that stove that must,
III stay right here till morning 3"
Three judges sat on their benches to Judge
Three cases tnat came from hOuse-cleaning ow,
The parties asserted they never would bulge,
But wanted divorces fright here and now
So the men went Off and the women went home,
And hereafter will do their hOuse-cleaning alone,
While their foImeT partners snicker.

PTOLEMY, in his great work written
while Cesar was a boy, calls Albion
British island; and Pliny before the close
of the first century and little before
Ptolemy says that the island of Great
Britain was formerly called Albion, the
name of Britain being common to all the
islands about it. The formerly" goes
back to earliest records, for Aristotle, born
3S4 years 3. O., mentions the islands
ot Albion and Ierne. The name is pro-
badly OF Gallie origin, the same as Albyn
(or Albin), the name Of Scottish High.

several besides the steeples-wIth hun

an Oriental appearance, and fill the
traveller with wonder and admiration
when it first breaks upon his view. The
river MOskva flows at the base of the hill
on which the KremliE is built. The
Kremlin is a vast citadel, or city within
a city, enclosed by a wall from twelve to
sixteen feet high, with many towers,
embellishments and beautiful gates. 1t

the northern Indians. He had been
pretty powerful, but when be came to the

sided.
E.S. Van Bonhurst offered n reSo-
luton setting forth that the convention
pledge itself to aid the government in
resuming specie payments, but 1t was
not advisable for this body 10 put forth
any plans for resumption, as the SeCre-
tary must have already matured his plan
of action that n committee be appointed
to confer with the Secretary of the
Treasury and use every auence to bring
about resumption in 1879, aud that the
tax now levied on banks Is onerous and
should be repealed. The resolution,
under the rule, was referred to the
Executive Committee
w. 5. Groesbeck, of Cincinnati, then
read paper on tne silver question.
Mr.. Groesbeck's paper WAS discussed
by S. B. Ruggles, Mr.. Judson, of New
York, and Mr.. Poor, OF Massachusetts.
The latter argued that no advantage
could result from the establishment OF
the silver standard, and that the whole
question WAS one of convenience. Mr.
Samuel Harris, OF Catskill, thought the
idea OF changing the standard OF silver
was all wrong. MIR. Hayes, OF Chicago,
and Mr. Grubb, of Philadelphis, also
discussed the paper, and the latter favor.
