Music TAKEN OUT OF A SoNG.-The latest
sentimental ballad is entitled 'Give Me the
Home of My Childhood" Bless your soul
we'd do it in minute, but-why, havn't t
you heard? Old Tadgers closed out three
mortgages Oh it in 1867 and 1868, and the
next year it was sold for taxes; itwas seized
for debt in the summer following then your
oldest brother claimed that it belonged to
his wife and brought suit in her name to
recover, and before that was through they
found an old flaw in the title and in trying
TO straighten that out it transpirel that
your grandfather had no Government
patent on it at all, but had stolen it bodily
from the Indians; and now two half-bFeeds
have brought suit to recover the property
as the heirs. The house was burned down
about two years ago, and The neighbors have
used the fences for kindling wood; your
wifes cousin is trying to gel hold of the lot,
and your alf,brother jumped the property
one night, put up little shanty Oh the
alley corner, and is now in possession.
There doesn't seem to be much show for
you, but you might file your papers, buy a
lawyer and sail in.-[ Hawkeye.

IT is quite possible that the marriage
of Commodore Garrison with St. Louis
belle has turned the heads of numerous
other handsome bellies in that city and
inspired them with the hope that they
may all marry merry bachelors from the
radiant East. Such anticipations should
be blighted in the bud, for, while it is
impossible for Cincinnati to furnish
wives for all the great men in the coun-
try, she will see to it that other cities are
fairly treated. St. Louis has mated one
millionaire; now give Chicago show for
MIR. Tilden.

SOBER VERITIEs AS the trials of life
thcken and the dreams Of other days fade
one by one in the deep vista of disappoint-
ed hope, the heart grows weary of the
struggle and we realize our insignificance.
Those who have climbed to pinnacles of
fame, rcvel in luxury and wealth, go to the
grave at last with the poor mendicant who
bcgs pennies by the wayside, and like him
are soon forgotten. Generations after
generations, says an eloquent modern
writer, have felt as we feel, and their fel-
lows were AS active in life as ours are now.
They passed away as vapors while nature
wore the same aspect of beauty as the
Creator commanded her to wear. And so,
likewise, shall it be when we are gone.
The heavens will be rs bright over our
graves us they now are around our path ;
the world will have the same attractions
for offspring yet unborn that she had once
for ourselves, and that she now has for our
children. Yet little and all this will
have happened. Days will continue to
move on and laughter and song will be
heard in every chamber in which we died
and the eye that mpurned for us will be
drie /. and even our children will cease to
think of us, and will not remember to LISP
our names.

How THEY KEEP PARIS CLEAN.-When
Fulton, of the Baltimore Anerican, was
in Paris, he used to get up early in the
morning and ride about the city on the
top of street car, in order to see how
they kept Paris SO clean. He writes ::
The huusekeepers bring out all their
rubbish and pile it up in the streets-one
pile to every three or four houses. 1t is
no sooner emptied that the rag pickers,
who swarm the streets with their bags and
baskets and hand carts, pounce upon it
and gather up all the fragments Of paper,
rags or metal to be found in the piles
hey are so numerous that there is y
scramble on every street, and they move
from pile to pile rs if their lives depended
on their activity. They seem to take
away one-third of the rubbish. Servants
are everywhere to be seen with broom and
bucket in hand cleaning off the fronts.
The streets are being sprinkled with hose,
and an army of men and women with
birch brooms are sweeping the streets.
On the boulevards, horse brushing ma
chimes are in motion, and the garbage
csrts are removing the piles thrown out by
the houseAeepers. Water is turned on in
all the cutters, and women with brooms
are engaged in washing them down. Men
with hose are watering around all o.
the roots of all the hundreds of thousands
of trees on the boulevards. and taking ul
the gralings so as to loosen the eartt
around them. All, or nearly all this worl
is done by the city authorities, and b!
nine o'clock the city is as clean as broom
and brush and water can make it,"
