TIRE CANNIBAL LOVERS.
a canniGal loved a cannibaless
By moonlight oft he used to meet her;
He said: "She's the height of my happiness,
love her 50 that could eat.her."
This cannbal and his cannibaless
Were henry named aud Henrietta;
One night they met in their gulelessness,
To part no more, for Henry ate her.

MY GRANDFATHER's TICKER.

MY GRANDFATHER's TICKER.
My grandfather's ticker,
Told him when to take HIS liquor,
Which stood bottled on the shelf ninety year.
1t was stronger by half
Than the old man himself,
And n blamed sight better N lager beer.
1t was made the day the old man was born,
1t was both his Joy and his pride
But now 1t stopped still never to flow again
And the old man sighed.
But MS he had passed the saloon sixty years
"Without stopping, land feeling suro
That no "nevcr could get tick anymore
Why, the old man died

STOLEN JEWELS.
A million little diamonds
Twinkled on the trees,
And all the little maidens said,
Z" A jewel, If you please!"
But while they held their hands outstretchcd
To catch the diamonds gay,
A million little sunbeams came
And stole them all away. lex.
