four years old; yet until the Master call
ed her to reap the reward OF a long life

elks. as they r0Ved the boundless waste
or skipped from craggy peak TO paaky |
crag, has emboldened him TO enthusiasm,

coaxing to induce him to tackle the Re
publican bag of snakes and things tied
up in the Second Congressional district |
when the time comes to shake 1t up and /
kill its occupants Yet, alack and alas
the anguish and tears that would follow
young ambitions dream should 1t realize
that
"a buffalo cavorting in his pride of place,
Vas BY 3 mouEing owl Houked at aud killed"
