 50 If writ, 'twould get to him
 Without the smallest doubt.
 want to ax him if he'd mind
 A sendin' back to me, l What he's happy man about, And how it came to be. [ And then I'd raaly like to know If his wife has red hair: And when he gifts in pritty late,
 Ihere aint some loud words there.
 want to know who builds the fire; And If he stays in bed,
 A4u thlnks he's such happy man
 Because there's nothing sed.
 want to know who walks the house
 10 git the baby quiet, l Wnlch oont want teeth nor nothin' else And makes gen'ral riot. And if no wife, then don't his clothes | Sometimes git out O lint, | And don't his socks, ana patience too. Git to the darnin' pint.

 With Jist laugh or two.

 AUNT JANE. From Twin Lakes to Cheneyville - Taking leave of our old friend "Jip.~ packing up our we'll filled and Tagging the ''hoss" that never flags, nor waits for nobody" smaller than Baruum. we rumbled and grumbled down into the happy land of Canaan ;" happy since it aug out state house from one of its stun- ming 'stun" quarries, marble-ous or sub hme' as fire or water long ago settled it round old Haystack Mountain, (tbat starts the pretty trout brook which everybody nshes to the death.) through Old Norfolk, without having to fork over cent along Mad River" and it's madder colored water and maddest of baby trout, since they have daily to vince under the infiction of Win sted sportsmen 80 called on through Sat ans Kingdom, and beside that river that might have been the forerunner of the Styx, SO black are it's sombre waters, ana which look as if countless salmon might Turk beneath, and would rise to a well cast fly, yet we saw but one ''bamboo" (split" by the raiu) on the whole stream, and that In the hands of very juvenile angler, who said he was Garter suckers, daces, and cat tles, though his catch looked more like Kittens than well-to-do catfish for which en- lcures banker. It is said that some of the young salmon have been taken by boys, and it is hoped that the Conn. Fish Com | missioners will see to it that the close sea. son at least, is well looked after, and that finest of fish be once more drug as Ill the olden time. From New Hartford, canter- Ing on through Canton, catching a cheery look at Cherry Brook, and semi-smile at 5lmsbury, we are in Old Hartford just in time for Barnum's big show (tho' we didn't try to see it,) and the soldiers camp in the park, and the white state house, which is very imposing structure regardless of cost. Crossing the Connecticut by the H. P. & F. train we are soon in Cheneyvil!e (South and in the silken bonds of he loviiest of villages for within sound ] 't the Corllss engine-second in size only o the 'Great Corliss" of the Centennial, ies the park-like expanse glorited by the Ilmost palatial structures of the Brothers jheneY," and the Surrounding cottages of heir hundreds of well-to-do employees.
