A policeman met little Ike Ryan on
Main street, last night, and remarked
to him that he would be better off at
home. Ike bristled up, rose on his
tip toes, so as to bring his head on a
level with the officers watch fob, and,
reaching way up with his fist,
screamed: 81 won't go home, and

lowed, of how Nat kept seepless guard
over his captives, and of how, when
morning came and help came with it,
the burglars were safely lodged in the
county jail. All that is easily sur
missed. But at last Nat was hero
not only in his own eyes but in the
eyes of all others. He bore his honors
meekly and with dignity, as a right be-
longing to servant of the King. He
accepted the numerous congratulations
and hand-shakings, wondering, perhaps,
what it all meant, and replying to the
questions heaped upon him with the
simple statement: II Just obeyed or
ders." Nothing, however, could induce
him to accept any reward for his serv-
ices. The royal command was to take
no bread, no money in his purse, and he
would not.
But Nat did not lack for friends after

ing, and, as the story spread, homes
and hearts were open to him every

he was more especially welcomed, and

worthless wag was Philo Freer,
a vagabond acute and queer,
Who did as little as he could
To earn scanty livelihood.
a laugh ny, luckless, lazy lout,
Who hunted, nshed and loafed about,
Or ran on crrands for his bread
Who never had a cent ahead
A being of that curious kind
The traveller will always find
On coming to a country town,
Before the tavern, sitting down.
One day a Snowman passed that way,
Whose name was Eppanetus Bray
An easy-going sort of man,
Who travelled with caravan
Exhibiting where err he went
Beneath dusky canvas tent,
two-iegRed horse, three-legged hen,
a woman with wOndrous wen,
A Tartar girl with fourteen toes,
That balanced bottles on her nose,
a dwarf that danced an Irish jig,
A snake and educated pig;
And other things as rare and strange,
BY which he shrewdly gained his change
Great things from little nothings grow,
Like "Bray's Behemoth Moral Show"
One sultry day, Freer meeting Bray,
. said TO him, i'm solemn way:
" saw about month ago
A splendid subject for your show
a great attraction you'll admit
The moment have told of il;

And can put you on his track.
And Will, If you will promptly pay

" Then, follow me-" the rogue replied

Ereer led the way till Bray began
To wonder where they'd find their man.
At last Freer paused, and, with leer,
He said to Bray: Behold him herep

. And saw a negro saving wood.

object of the Good Templars of Kennebec

temperance men for office.

complish during the past year. and we glad

The concert at Wilson Hall in this city on

as your readers have already been informed:

was not financial success; and it has been
