kindness in my composition as
usually falls to the lot of men even
in the days of my thoughtless
youth; / never suspended q tin
kettle to dogs tail, nor assisted
in shoeing the cat with walnut
shells; all the ordinary pastimes of
Intelligent adolescence, such as
sprinkling red pepper in public
meetings, and firing brickbats
through the windows of unoccupied

book, but I solemnly declare if to-
day I were the Bey of Tunis, that
I would sentence one half of my
subjects to the block, and the other
half to the bowstring or the sack.
All Tunisian fddlers should be ut,

on tambourines slaughtered with

ing critics who, in London and
New York, find fault with Irish fu-
nerals, if they wish to experience a
new sensation let them come to
Paris. If there is anything which
exceeds the eclat of a Frenchman's

A DEMORALIZED EDITOR.

An editor was sitting in his
easy chair, bouyant in mind and
heart, with the calm serenity and
blissful tranquility that none but
editors know. a shutting sound
at the door brought him back to
earth, and facing nervously about,
he bcheld a man of deep, deter
mined look, closing the door be-
hind him. With q siclsly feeling
Of foreboding, the editor naotioned
toward a chair, and gazed upon
the intruder, helpless and breath
less, resigned to meet the worst.
The hand Of the man wandered
toward his breast pocket. The
editors check blanched and his
lips turned blue. Alas alas! he
had guessed Alright the dread
mission Of the stranger.
The man pulled out bundle of
letters and papers. The head of
the editor fell forward upon his
breast, and the hands dropped
listless from the arms Of his chair:
"My errand is not pleasant
one," said the visitor, speaking
slowly.
"Thank heaven p exclaimed the
editor, plucking up courage. cont
with it-suspense is worse than
fate"
II have an execution on your
home," continued the man, with
professional sadness. "The mort
gage has been forec'osed."
"Hoora! ha! hal" roared the
editor, sprlnglng up ana nearly
shaking the man'sarm of. Heaven
be praised but what a scare you
did give me! Blister my corns if
| didn't think you had q chunk Of
spring poetry. Drive on-sell the
old shanty-it's a rat eaten bar
racks anyway, and rents are taken
off my mind! Let's have yours
name, and down it goes for two
years free subscription. You're
an angel in breeches, old fellow,
but you don't look it, darned if
you do. Ha! ha! Cut yorr hair,
man; cut your hair, and wear
staud-up collar. It'll save your
children sorrow"

ONLY PANSY BLOSSOM.

By EBEN E. REXFORD.
Only a pansy blossom
4 faded, withered thing
But would not give it to you
For all the flowers of spring;
For it brings me back the June time
Of 8 summer that is fed,
The fairest and sunniest summer
Of all the summers dead
The dear, sweet summers dead.
There is something strange about it,
For out of its faded heart,
Asl look at this poor, dead blossom,
Isee a fair face start
A face like a sweet, wild flower,
And the tears will dim my eyes,
Is it under the churchyard. grasses,
Or abloom in Paradise?
For me, in Paradise?
It is only the ghost of a flower
That gathered at her feet,
But the love has never faded
That made the summer sweer.
Only pansy blossom,
But it brings her BACK t. me;
And feel ber eyes upon me,
Her tender face to see
All sweet with love to me!
