SEWARD, United States minister to
China, has notified the secretary of state
that he will sail for home about the
middle of June. He has been offered
an opportunity tos return and answer
the grave charges which have been
made against him before committee
OF congress, but does not appear TO be
in hurry about it. Leaving China in
June, he will certainly not find congress
in session when he reaches Washington;
and it is scarcely uncharitable to guess
that he delays his coming for that
reason.

BADLY MATCHED.

Jake Buggies was country youth,
Who paid his debts and told the truth.
He labored hard and seemed content
With life, no matter how it went.
Till with girl named Sally SkreeIs
He fell in love head over heels.
Now Sally's father wasn't worth
A dollar or foot of earth.
And Jakes paternal parents owed
Most every other man he knowed.
But Jake who had valiant heart
Vowed that he'd work and get start.
And with the help of Sally dear,
He'd own farm within year.
Now Sally she was very cold.
And pretty--that is pretty old.
Pretended tina. for her dear Jacob
The heaviest cross she'd gladly take up.
But, really, she cared no more
For Jake than for the shoes he-,rorc
An old maids matrimonial chances
Grow very slim as time advances.
And this explains why Sally Skrees
Proposed to share Jakes bed and meals.
1ASs hAiiSu tilue new on apace--
Jake rented old Bill Scroggins' place.
And went to work resolved to make
A fortune for his Sally's sake
Poor Soul, he toiled with all his might
From early morn till late at night
But ah no kind approving word
From Sally's lips was ever heard.
She lay around, chewed gum and sung
Love songs she learned when she was young
And read love letters she had got
From boobies, long since gone to pot.
Yawned over scrap book filled with bosh
Collected by her cousin Josh.
Trimmed her new hat in various ways
With all the gew- gaws she could raise
In fact she proved herself to be
A slip-shod lump of frivolity.
But Jake he worked and ate cold meals,
Wore socks with neither toes nor heels,
Washed his own clothes when Sunday came,
And sewed fresh buttons on the same.
Got breakfast while his Sally slept,
Washed up the Dishes busted, swept
There's no use talking, Jacob strove
TO prove how perfect was his love.
One day Sal ate too many beans,
Grew sick, aud went to other scenes.
From that day forth Jake seldom spoke,
Or smiled, or worked-hs heart was broke.
In the poor house now he sits and grieves,
And wipes his nose on his thread bare sleeves
