THE CAXIWAXIAN LOVERS LA.
MENT.

The following beautiful poem is freely
translated from the CaXiwaxian tongue;
it shows, better than any essay can do,
how far superior those rude people are
to use in their appreciation, at once IN
stinctive and spontaneous, of the superb
ority of the university of sounds to the
artifciality of sense. This poem COM
bnes the sweetness Of Timothy Titcomb
with the onomatopeau music Of Owen
Meredith. Let the sensitive reader re-
mark the deep inscrutable meaning of
such tone words as pazink:
Farewell, my love, no more shall we rove,
am gone TO Cassanca to die
In the depth Of the Pmgam.P ernamgo grove
With the sladulous sltweeds lie.
No more will gaze on the Slap.Ira-Gund,
AS It walls in the Chorchirum Green.
Or hear the sweet sounds of the 1llistriund
As it battles in the blue Kerosene
The gladulous crumpit has turned its throat,
And the grid.sack has warbled aloud,
But the love has gone out of their cocalum note,
And they've lost all their polychrome proud.
The bliffstick il sad on the Hilii.Calew,
Where the poppynax waves in the breeze,
And the boxneck refuses to blow his bazoo
In the shades of the Snickeroo Sneeze.
0, think of the days with my own Davy dove,
And think and think and / think
When they broughtus those hoursof canoodleum
love-
And our hearts were brimful of paznk.
/ fling myself down on baraboo branch,
With the totle.tum deep in my heart,
And see the red rays Of my rigadoon rancho,
Where the pixwax and pollycum part
muddy. cum.dingus and silos and blear
0 boo.hoo and wind.i cum sigh,
wet all your alpaca boughs with tear,
As crawl in my gigrot to die.
Farewell to the coogaIn, l come, Clithereen,
There's colos in waxim aman,
There snoot in the snorky, that snoddeUs the
green,

NO LETTER FOR BURCH.

A man from Branch county being in {
Custer soon after postoffice was esta-
blished there, went up to the shanty ono
day with intent to inquire for mail
matter. A man from Missouri was just
ahead Of him, and inquired if there was
any letter for Zachariah Burch.

The pair looked at each other for
minute, and then Burch remarked
"Mebbe you are"
Uncle Sans official hoped out Of his

was a pretty even match for ten minutes
and then the postmaster got his favor

is A THOROUGH REMEDY
HE HAD EN-.

Mr.. BurlcsQue had a terrible expert
ence lately. He went out TO town i'll
the western part of the state to sell a
patent right and put mp at hotel. 1t
was an ordinary country hotel, and they
kept about it goat, which ran at large
about the premises. Just across the
way from the hotel was u big dye fac
tory and the goat used to go over there
considerably. Dyers are jolly devil
may-care sort of fellows anyway, and
they used to amuse themselves by deco
rating the goat. He was likely to show
up with pink legs, blue head. yellow
tall and a green body at any time. Mr..
Burlesque had been talking and drink
ing q good deal with parties negotia-
ting for the patent, He went ont on the
piazza, and saw the goat colored as de-
scribed. II made him nervous. He
chad EN-" before and thought il might
be another attack. Of course he would
not give himself away by saying any
thing. He quit drinking right off,
though. In an hour he saw the goat
again. 1t had crimson head, legs all
colored different, blue body and a
black tail. Then he felt nervous. He
didn't drink for two hours, but got SO
thirsty hesstarted for the bar, when he
saw the goat. That time it's head was
buff, its tail scarlet, its legs purple, and
the body white on one side and black
on the other. Then he knew he had
'em He didn't drink. -Four times more
that day he saw the goat, each time in
different colors. At night he had horrid
dreams of the creature. He came down
in the morning, haggard, worn and
wild for q drink but he looked ont and
saw the goat. Another day of torture,
and another night, during which
he dreamed he was pursued across a
stumpy field by seventy goats of all
colors. He woke mp in cold sweat in
the morning, and going down saw the
goat. 1t had seven different colors or
it. 1t had Seyea colors on it. Then he
could stand it no longer With a how
of terror he fled to his room and lay up,
on the bed with his head beneath the
pillows, believing dismally. The land,
lord went to see him. Explanation
ensued. Mr. Burlesque arose. His dis
gust was so intense that it rose to gran
deur, and his profanity was a revelation
to old swearers. He has since beer

lost time, and the chances are that he'll
have the tremens in earnest ifhe doesn'

THE WATERS REVENGE.

We got down to Hayt's corners at last.
And on the way down we beguiled the
weary hours with anecdote, and Charles
Siddons, of Rochester, told US the story
of the defiant waiter. The dining-room
was full and the walters were hurried,
and as usual the man who eats with
steel fork and has mush for breakfast
and rump steak and boiled potatoes for
dinner when he is home wanted every
thing in the house and wanted it right
away. He bullied the waiter and snarl-
ed and shifted and scolded and made
everybody uncomfortable about him.
At last after desouring dinner for
three, he pushed lack his chair, tossed
his napkin on the floor to indicate his
gentility and great wealth, and remar-
king with aristocratic haughtiness that
he couldn't eat any more of that stuff,
strobe away.
"Rather an unpleasant customer"
siddons remarked, sympathetically, to
the badgered waiter, who was gather
ing up the great mans dishes.
The waiter looked up with the fire Of
revenge glittering in his eyes.
"Oh, OATS all right, sah," he said.
meekly, che didn't get much ahead Of
me, sab. Idone spit in his tea, sah."

Up in a city garnet, on hot June day,
a weary woman leaned back in her chair
and pressed her fingers agasnst the eyes
that refused longer to see the stitches IN
the shopwork over which she had toilea
from daybreak till now, four o'clock in
the afternoon.
From the street far below her, a voice
had only that moment scared upward,
calling "strawberr- ees' ) Ripe, red
strawberries
And, as if by magic, her thoughts
turning backward had carried her to
Deepdrne, the lome of her youth, and to
q certain lovely June day in her sixteenth
wear, when she had stood, in the straw
berry pasture on the Blessing farm, with
the red berries pertaining all the air, and
said the words which severed her fate
from that of Maurice Blessing, and made
her life what it was on this day, almost
hopeless, and ceaseless struggle for
bread. won at the needles point.
How it all rose mp before her The

woods, whose tops seemed to touch the
deep blue sky, sloping downward to the

among its lower stones.
And below the wall 1.-THE thrty-acre
