Her praises still lutte,
And recollect yea, verify,
Her fathers COW hide boot.
recollect, with heartfelt glee,
One pleasant starry night,
Full many dainty rings had she.
And an hwful appetite.
Oh, take me back to memory's isles
In a silk-sailed canoe,
Oh, let some widows pleasant smiles
Just thrill me through and through.
Oh, have me not serenely hit
Aud work instead Of play,
Oh, fix me so that can sit
Eating peanuts all the day.

HNxr oArs OFFICE
Henry Clay has an Office. He has
been appointed postmaster at James
town, Va. This is the Oldest postoftice
in the old thirteen States. Letters have
been delivered there In some form or
other for 2S3 years, and yet the salary is
only SOL per annum. We do not know
what the odd dollar is for; but is proba-
bly, intended to cover the extra day in
leap year.-Bos.on Post.
MUST De PREPAID IN ADVANCE.
The New Orleans Observer informs its
readers that: Political advertisements
and communications of a personal char
acter, addressed to the Obserpsr, must be
prepaid in advance" BY the way, this
method follows well.known postofiice
rules, and is the best way of making
prepayments. If bill is 70 be prepaid
at all, it should be prepaid In advance.
Payments left until past due are hard
to collect.-Neg Orleans Peayans.
An AFFLICTED coyuNDRrM.
This thing ought to be stopped. Some
one ought TO get out an injunction 10
prevent Mary Anderson going about
the country and stealing away the brains
of young men and old idiots and news
paper men generally. She appeared at
Eln.Ira few nights ago, and the man
who does the dramatic business for the
Advertiser wonders whether, ''if Mary
Anderson had not such beauty, such an
elegant Grecian nose, such length and
grace of arm, in fact, two arms, which
are never troubled with raiment-such
beautiful shoulder-two shoulders in
fact, such sumptuously uncovere1
neck, such pose OF figure, such grace
full yet careless wave Of hair, and such
eyes, and such 1.-THE, queenly, willowly
anatomy withal-whether il, without al
these, Mary Anderson would be as gooC
an actress as she is with them" The
fellow who inflicts such conundrum a
the abpye on an unofiending communit,
during the holidays ought TO be commit
ted to an insurance office or gas manu-
factory.-N. Y. Express.
BUSTED DREAM
There entered one of the Pawtucke'
banks the past week a young man o
rural aspects, such as bell crowned
hat, high neck-stock, like those worI
by country choir leaders, and pair o
turnpike FOUNDERS in the shape Of No. II
boots. He approached the counter
dropped on it with his cucumber colorec
umbrella, and then drew out an ole
string bound wallet, unrolled and unroll
ed it until it looked like the prize-belt o
q walking match, drew forth S5 green
back, laid it down and demanded: III
that are genuine?" at is, answered tn,
official. "as good as gold" "Hurrahlp ht
shouted, Il tell you, squire, I'm easy
now. My great aunt wrote me yester
day that she dreamed / had a counter
felt bill about me, and 30 hitched W
and brought this one down, as il was al
l had. Now if you'll give me the golc
ont squire, will be obleeged to ye.'
As he went out he struck the gold witt
the ferule of his umbrella and exclaimed
"Guess we can get ahead OF the smartes
dream that ever crept into the old gall,
head. You can't git up dream bu
what we Will bust her before she has 1
chancd to operate.-Fo,md in The Nel
York World.
