The youth Obeyed and soon unlOa,ied .JAck
Then to the barber for his money went;
The barber. looking at tie saddle pack.
Declared he would not pay single cent;
Centending that the saddle was a part
And parcel of the load he'd fairly bought,
That he would tell him now. right in the start.
That he with tricks like that could not be caught:
The youth was quite amazed and could not see
The point which claimed the Saddle tree.
They both then called upon magistrate.
And laid the before him without flaw;
Who. when he heard. went on to illustrate
How very nice and stringent WIS the law;
That having sold the barber all the wood
That laid upon the animals broad back
The way that he must do. matters stood.
Was 'give the barber up the saddle pack.
And thus the youth got beat and paid the cost.
The wood was sold, the saddle pack was lost.
He felt indignant and full of spleen,
And swOre that he would have bloody fight:
A friend advised him then to see the Queen
And state his case. thai she would make it right.
So to the Queen he'd go. for well he knew
That justice at all times would there be found.
Through shady walks. where spice and flowers grew
Where sparkling fountains played and cooled the gro,
lie went one day, fixed up in his best covering,
10 lay his before the august Sovereign.
He was ushered to her presence by page
In crimson trousers dressed with white trban
And heavy sword for one of tender age:
Her Majesty received him very urbane.
The Queen sat on throne OF ivory white,
Surrounded by her connselors of state;
Her only daughter sat upon her right
The beauty of the realm. the Princess Zatc;
Whose dark blue eyes, as youth and page advance,
Looked on his form with an approving glance.
The youth, bedazed by her bewitciing beauty,
Forgot his Grand and the where he stood
Until he reminded of his duty.
Then told the story of his load of wood.
The Queen laughed heartily. and then withdrew,
Leaving the Princess in the chair of state
Our hero thus had ample time to view
The gorgeous chamber and the lovely Zlte:
The room shall be described some other time,
III give the Princess first my choicest rhyme.
Her height trihe over average;
Her dark brown hair in thousand rnrlets hung:
Her forehead broad and white would charm 4 sage;
She'd pelrly teeth her voice like music r,,ng;
Her eyes dark blue. the shade of heaven;
Her neck more graceful than scnlpured Venus:
And swelling breasts. that very oft are given,
TO captivae poor souls allure AMI win us;
With sixteen dresses SO fine and trail
lfcf form was seen rs lnfOu gn Il common veil.
The youth was summoned to an inner chamber.
And there received instructions from the Queen,
Who whispered something strange within his ear:
rogush twinkng in his eye seen.
As. from the palace with smiling face
He marched away without one doubt or fear.
But what the monarch said about his
Must be deferred until another year;
For We been warned to shorten this column,
1.-The Office can't afford to print volume
But should the ladies wish it very much,
And think they cannot wait a whole long year.
will not leave their fancy in the lllr'h.
But give the balance in coming COURIER.
And God bless you all. my bright. fair friends.
And may the coming new year bring you joy,
And happiness, and luXures that lends
A charm to life without the least alloy.
The boss says: Hold. enough SO stop here,
By wishing you, fair friends,
