A Nursery Rhyme.

Sing a song of Lection
Legally denied
Get up commission
The question to decide.
When the case was settled
The people all did sing;
Isn't that better way
Than fighting for the thing.
Field was in the court house room
Laying down a rule,

Looking for mule,

The bureau drawers to close,
When in came "Gobble.cr'

Moody asked him what heavy sin burdened
his mind, and he confessed to having beat
newspaper publisher out of a years subscrip,

did not profess to perform miracles, but if he
would settle up his dues, with compound in

doors Of the church to him, perhaps he
might be snaked in under the canvas. -Boston

Iron tho New Orleans Democracy
The colonization Of Mexico and Central America
from the United States, and the establishment within
the borders Of those countries blessed by the prod
gality OF Providence but cursed by the imbecly OF
their people, Of American methods, progress and
civilization Idea vital and aggressive TO die
be long repressed. During the past hundred
years NUMBER OF efforts have been madc carry out
this captivating scheme aud the present Mexican
movement, headed oy General Vaughn Thomas,
somewhat noted hlbustcr and reputed born revolu-
ZIONIST, 10 quite vigorous material izatlon Of this
great American idea.
The tendencies oi American thought and American
progress IN accord with his purpose. II has been
said with much truth that Turkey IS an anomaly in
Europe. IL may also said with truth that Mexican
ism ID anomaly in America Our progressive civil
izxtion the necessary loo oil tho revolutionary spirit
ana reactionary tendencies oil Mexico, ami sooner
ideas upon the weaker.
Such u consunmpllon would be q blessing to the
world. Around and IN the Gull OF Mexico lie regions
OF boundless fertility, possessing mines Of god and
silver, and capable with their wonderful resources OF
SUSTAINING enlightened population oil 10U 900 600 of
people. Those countries should be what the countries
the Mediterranean were ~ the days Of Egyptian
ana Syrian glory. American courage, American en-
terprse aud American IDEAS reclaim those glorious
regions IRON their degradation and convert them into
empire such No the sun OF heaven has never yet
shone upun
