LITTLE JOHNNYS ESSAY ON CORNS,

Corns are of two kinds Vegetable and an
imal, Vegetable corn grows in rows animal
corn grows on toes. There are several kinds
of rorn; there is the unicorn, capricorn,
corn dodgers field corn, and the corn which
is the corn you most feel. 1t is said, | be
leive, that gophers like corn; but persons
having corns do no like to ''go fur" if they
can help it. Corns have kernels, and some
Conels have corns. Vegetable corns grow
on ears, but animal corns grow on the
feet at the end of the body. Another kind
of corn is the acorn; these kind grow on
oaks, bnt there is no hoax about the corn
The corn is corn with an indefinite arti-
Gle indeed. Try it and see. Many man
when he has corn wishes it was an acorn
| Folks that have corns sometimes send for q
doctor, aud, if the doctor himself is corned
| he probably won't do so well as if he isn't
| The doctor says corns are produced from
tight boots aud shoes, which is probably tn,
reason why, when man is tight they say
he is corned. If man farmer manage
well, he can get good deal of corn on al
acre, but | know of farmer who has
corn that makes the biggest acre on his farm
The bigger crop ofvegtable corn man raise
| the better be likes it but the bigger crol
of animal corn the better he does not like il
Another kind of corn is the corn dodgel
The way it i, made is very simple, and is a
follows-that is if you want to know; Yo
go along the street and meet man yo
know has a corn and rough character
then you step ON the Toe that has a corn o
it, and see if you don't have an occasion

MY WIFE AND !.
ny RAVEN,

We have, for more than two score years,
Mid cheerful smiles and flowing tears
Together trod the path Of life,
Ana struggled In this earthly strife.
But time by many hard caress,
ON brow and cheek, with deep impress,
A faded picture only left,
OF youth and beauty both bereft.
our thoughts are busy with the past,
with now and then strange contrast,
Recalling Genes of brighter view,
Wheu youth was strong, and life was new,
The future then was full OF hope,
And duty took a wider scope,
Alas they've gone and only seem,
As one awaken from dream.
But, which shall first the journey end
on which shall death the first attend,
Which drop away first out Of life
And cease tn weary toll and strife
Which pierce the veil that hides from sight
The glories Of Immortal light2
Where to the senses VIII be shown,
That, here, by faith is only known.
Which sholl be lett to llnger stu,
A few mere days to do Iii. will
Betor' the gold vessel breaks,
Before It's flight, the spirit takes,
Which, look upon the vacant ground,
That ls left beside the little mound?
And feel, chow soon | do not care,
That too, will b. lying here
It matters not, since both ere long,
Shall break the cord that is not strong,
Which, enters first the goodly land,
which, nrst shall join the happy band.
The separation Will be brief,
This thought Is fun Of sweet relief,
We'll meet each other by and by
To part no more, my wife and |.

AN ORIENTAL EXECUTION.
THE DECAPITATIoN OF SIX CHINESE l
RATES.

THE DECAPITATIoN OF SIX CHINESE PI |
RATES
A correspondent writing from Shanghai |
says 4 went to see six Chinese pirates be-
headed yesterday. The open square where
all the executions take place was filled with |
Chinese of all ages and conditions, and a few
Europesus among them. The prisoners were
the most forlorn starvelings | ever saw, and
betrayed no more fear at their approaching
fate than if they were to be spectators Of an
execution. A huge Tartar officiated as exc
cutioner. He was armed with a native sword,
and stood on small platform in the centre Of
the square. After the criminals, with their
hands tied behind, had been taken upon the
stage, the executioner took one of the pirates
by the arm, brought him to the edge of the
platform, hit him sharp rap with his hand
on the head, which caused the poor fellow to
bow his head, and then the executioner
sword went up, was poised in the air a full
half minute, and with sweep and gittering
blade descended and the poor criminals head
| went flying off in one direction aud the body

after each head rolled off, responded by a
grin which showed every one of his teeth
But the stolidity of the poor wreches was
beyond description. Not muscle quivered,
and even when waiting for the blade of the
eIecutioner to fall | could not detect a sign
of emotion. The crowd seemed to enjoy the
sight immcnsely, and set up yell OF delight

Ileigh-ho Hullabulloo,
This is the way that Miss Lopop cries,
Weep, wope, wlnkety .twee
Digging very small fist in her eyes,
Weep, Nope winkety-twee!
Signing and sobbing and all in the shade,
Weep. wope, wnkety-twee
Kiss her and pet her, the poor little maid,
Weep, wope, winkety-twee.
Playing or resting, or merry or sad,
Prink, prank, tantarum ii
Sweet when she's good and as sweet when she's l1a
Prink, prank. tantarum Il
Cutting up capers, or cutting up rough,
Prink prank tantarum ii
No one can love her or pet her enough,
Pink, prank, tantarum tt
In Fan. Wide 4wnke.

CIIARADE.

In her close cage, morose and stern,
Despondent lurked my first one day:
Hsr mind then seemed on evil bent,
Far from all friends she turned away.
Till suddenly she starts, and screams
a fierce, wild scream, as of demons dire
Then tugs at her grim prison bars,
And howls my second in her ire.
Her dinner brought, her anger coels;
The meal is not, NEST we'll she knows,
And one such as my whole describes.
She cats and soon she placid grows.
