Lines to a Premature Mosquito.
Unwelcome insect, that with feeble wing
Intrudest thus upon the backward spring.
Avernal blunder,
Brief in this chilly world will be thy stay,
And if thou seest the eve Of one cool day,
Twill be wonder.
When mother Nature from a bed of slime
Evolved thee several weeks before thy time.
What freak convu1sed her?
Why did she send thee, lean and Naked forth
To face the biting breezes of the north,
Without an ulster?
With dropping pinion. guiltless of a sting.
Thou seemest now poor and broken thing, :
Asking protection;
Not one whose droning song with night begins,
joyful in booming heated human skins
To vivisection.
Thou shouldst have died hereafter, in the strife
OF angry hands appraised to take thy life
And give no quater.
Now quick consumption, or hacking cough,
When life has scarce begun, will take thee OH,
A propto-martyr
will not hurt thee. Innocent, and young,
And harmless yet, count thee not among
My worthy foemen.
note thee as sign of bites to be,
But may the mercy that show to thee
Avert the omen!

presents himself Co the City Captain
Baranoil, and requested him To procure

had a most important communication to
make 10 his Majesty. Deaf to all ques

ana ON His Majesty expressing Lis rcadi-

Sovereign. Commanded to speak, the
young man said he had been commits

His Majesty had been kept in ignorance
of the demands contained in their re-

his message the bold revolutionary

the police have hitherto been unable to

Deadv ood boys consisting of Boone
May, Cap. Willard and his brother Fred,
were trapping in the vicinity of the
Little Missouri. A few weeks ag, Cap

he left they were joined by two other
trappera named George Owens and Will

were cncampcd on bill near the Little
Missouri when, aboat three o'clock in
the afternoon, they were jumped by
about fifty Indians, who opened fire on
them. The boys got behind small
cmpankment, which partially protected
them, and returned the fire of the In
dams For half an hour the fight last

ing The fight the trappcrs had three out

four horses killed. Whether any Of the
Indians were killed is unknown. After
the Indians had gone, the boys packed

of her first performance of Camille
after her late illness, it seemed as
il she really could not get through
the part. The waits between the
acts were longer than the acts
themselves, being prolonged to
give her a chance TO recuperate.
Every moment it was expected the
manager would appear and say
that the play could not go on; and
when the entr'actc between the
third and fourth acts was extended
to more than half an hour, the
audience was well-nigh convinced
that the feigned illness OF Camille
had become a living reality. The
tragedy within the tragedy held
the throng spellbound to the very
end, although the play was not
over till after six o'clock; and
when the curtains finally dropped,
no one could have told whether ii
was the suffering OF Camille or the
suffering of Clara that had sad
dened and interested the more.
