Three Fishers.

Three fishers went strolling away to the stream,
To the babbling brook where the fishes swim,
OF speckled beauties they all did dream,
And each felt certain they'd bite for him,
For men will tramp from morning till night.
And suffer the fierce musquito's bite,
And drink to stop their gr0aning.
Three fishers strolled into the market place,
Twas two hours after the sun went down,
And look OF gloom was on each mans face.
For at empty baskets they each did froWn,
For men may fish and get no bite,
And tired and ugly go home at night
And vent their wrath in groaning.
Three fishers strolled into the beer saloon,
Where the crowd sat round the gas was bright,
And each gayly whistled merry tune,
And showed his fish with assumed delight,
For men will fish, and men will lie,
And boast of catching the fish they buy,
While inwardly they're grooming.

From the kilograms our readers will
learn of the assassination of the Car of
Russia o. the 14th instant. The Nihilists
have thus ultimately succeeded in fulfill
ing their awful threats; theirs persistency
was SO great and their mode of proceeding
SO regardless of whatever great calamity
might accompany their heinous attacks
that their final success might almost nave
been expected, but still, when the dreadful
event has come to pass the whole civilised
world feels horrorstrieken. 1t must inIeed
have been a sad life, wrought with con.
slant evil f~orebodings for the coming day
which the illfated Gar has led during the
last few years, knowing himself to be the
intended victim of a numerous and widely
spread conspiracy; and doubly heavy must
his successor, his son Alexander III, feel
the burden Of the crown under the
existing circumstanc es.
One should think that the Nihilists by
all honest people in Russia must be con.
sidered as outcasts, and viewed with abhor.
emit disgust but this can hardly be the
case, for it is almost inconceivable that
they should be able to work undetected
without having a widespread sympathy In
all classes of society. The present Gar
was as Czarewitch considered to have
liberal tendencies and it is therefore likely
that an alteration in the old regime will
follow.
Alexander the III is married since 1866
to Princess MariaDagma second daughter
of our King.
