[From the Burlington Hawkeye]
The latest sentimental ballad is entitled
"Give Me the Home of My Childhood. y
Bless your soul, we'd do it in minute, but
why, haven't you heard !? Old Tadgers
closed out three mortgages on it in 1867 and
'68 and the next year it was sold for taxes it
was seized for debt in the summer following;
then your oldest brother claimed that it be-
longed to his wife, and brought suit in her
name to recover; and before thatwas through,
they found an old flaw in the title, and in try
ing to straighten that out, it transpired that
your grandfather had no Government patent
on it at all, but had stolen it bodily. from the
Indians; and now two half-breeds have
brought suit to recover the property as the
heirs. The house was burned down about
two years ago, and the nelghbors have used
the fences for kindling wood; your wife's
cousin is trying to get hold of the lot, and
your half-brother jumped the property one
night, put up a shanty on the alley corner,
and is now in possession. There doesn't seem
to be much show for you, but you might file
your papers, with lawyer, and sail in.

Frenchnnan'A Fate.

An honest binder, employed more than
twenty years in a Rouen house, had been
sent up to the Paris Exhibition, his expenses
being provided out of the Lottery Fund. The
poor fellow enjoyed himself immensely and
would doubtless have felt grateful ever after
to the Administration which had provided
him with so delightful an entertainment for
nothing. Unhappily, however, workmen
thus favored are expected to draw up re-
port of their experiences for the commission
ers of the Lottery. Now, the binder had no
sooner returned to his native city than this
literary labor began to weigh on him like a
nightmare. He was afraid he should be ex-
pected to give full account of all the Sec
tons of the exhibition, with copious observa-
ton on the wondrous things contained
therein. If he did not do this, he was con-
vinced that the Government would sue him
for the costs of his trip. 1t was to no pur-
pose that his comrades tried to cheer him up
and even offered to compose his report for
him. Lesage-such was the miserable mans
name-lost his appetite, grew morose and sui
len, and one day disappeared from his home.
His body was shortly afterward found in the
Seine.
