DRIFTING.
Drifting down the river,

Drifting down the river, In light canoe; Drifting by the sedges, < p Ger the waters blue; Stars are bright above us, as In their azure height, Stars are bright below us In the waves tonight. Running, softly humming
 Melodies of yore; Resting, idly resting 4a On each spattered oar; Dreaming, fondly dreaming,
 As we glide along, Dreaming while the echoes Chant our merry song. , Shadows seem to darken
 On the hither shore; Zephyrs rosy laden
 Breathe perfume o'er; .... Enchanted seems the river Oh, I could drift for aye! Nor wish the starry, silvery night Would ever wake to day.

A YOUNG PATRo1.-The terror of Pe- oria street, Chicago, is miniature fire insurance patrol, composed of reckless ly zealous small boys. Six of their number act as horses, drawing the rest in a small wagon, which was unwisely presented to them by the superinten- dent of the adult patrol. They usually operate on bonires, over which they spread wet blankets in the ordinary manner, and they run on the sidewalks because, as we are informed, "they can knock more people down there than they could in the middle of the street. D They recently conceived the idea that a house was on fire, and with wild whoops proceeded to subjugate the imaginary flames. They chopped holes in the roof,
 broke the windows and wet the uphol stered furniture. This was going a lit-
 tie too far. They are to be suppressed.

ODE TO THE CUCUMBER.

Cool, crispy, vert1ant, luscious fruit,
Though 6cOurgcd with Witlings' stripes,
For love thou needst not press thy suit
Thou hoidest us with gupes-
What time thou'rt in the mntket-placos
4 dozen for a nickel,
Forbidden fruit with tempting face
To get US in pickle;
Or lying near the garden-path,
Some simple lad, id frolic,
Purloins thee, bringing down the w13u
Or conscience and OF colo;
Or sliced in vinegar In haste,
Thou mnkest all food sweeter-
Thus doubling up the joys Of ta8tos
Aud doubling up the eater-
Child of the dew, from Asia's cline,
Dyspeptics may deride us;
Wen not expose thee in our rhyme
Thy wrongs are all inside uB.
Well may revenge heal all thy smarta-
4 vengeance EnstrOnomiC;
Thine, unlike crimes that weigh the haafh
Lies heavy on the stomach.
Thy slain are scattered DER the earth.
Pufssant ku-klux cumber;
Thy form, with prnise Of vanished WORTH
Should mark their place of slumber.
And shall we rear this fruit again, i
And of it he partaker?
We taste, and answer in our pain,
"1es, we've put in an acher.'
