CHEEK.

Upon the worlds vast battle held,
Amid it's war and strife.
Where men their weapons bravely WELD
To gain the prize Of life,
IT any fail-and some do fall
To win the goal they seek.
Be sure it is for the towards, pale.
And not the man with "cheek."
If there's place needs to be filled,
OF all the men that seek,
IT'S surely won. however skilled.
By him who has the "cheek."
He gains the place, and none may fear
His fitness will be small;
Deficiencies will ne'er appear,
For "cheek" conceals them all.
The ladies-blsss their gentle hearts!
For him have special smiles;
And though by him they suffer smarts,
He all their fears beguiles.
They thought he was so very good.
And then at times 80 meek;
It seems they never understood,
He did II all by "cheek."
The man of cheek-he Is the chap
Whose praises now sing;
Though he may hit your head rap,
You think tits quite "the thing"
Let others praise the modest man,
Whose soul Is mild and meek;
But shall ever lead the van,
That lauds the man Of "cheek."

Don't forget that it was at the instance
of democrats that the tax upon tobacco
was reduced in the And Congress from
40 to "a cents.
Don't forget that in the 43rd Congress
this same agitation of the reduction of
the tax On tobacco was kept up, and a
bill passed at the instance of democrats,
through the Senate modifying the inter-
nal revenue law and removing the re-
striction upon planters in retailing their
own tobacco, and that the bill was killed
by the repu blicans in the House.
Don't forget that at the instance of
democrats the tax upon tobacco was az
forwards reduced from "a to 16 cents.
Don't forget that the democrats favor
a repeal of the +internal revenue law,
and the republicans oppose it.-Pdge

An Angel Unal1Oyed.

The best natured woman in the United
States lives in Austin. She has been
married number of years to man
named Ferguson, but she and her hus-
band have never had quarrel yet, and
he has frequently boosted that it was
utterly impossible to make her angry.
Ferguson made several desperate at
tempts to see if he could not exasperate
her to look CROSS, or scowl at him, mere
ly to crafty his curiosity, but the more
outrageous he acted, the more affable
and loving she behaved.
Last week he was talking with a
friend about what hard time he mad
trying to find out If his wife had tenn
per. The friend offered to bet $50 that
il Ferguson were to go home drunk,
raise a row and pull the tablecloth full
of dishes off the table, she would show
some signs of annoyance. Ferguson
said he didn't want to rob friend of
his money, for he knew he would win
but they at last made bet of $50, the
friend to hide in the front yard and
watch the proceedings ofthe convention
through the window.
Ferguson came home late, and appar-
emily, fighting drunk. She met him at
the gate, kissed him, and assisted his
tottering steps to the house. He sat
down in the middle of the floor, and
how]ed out.
"Confound yer ugly picture, what
did you mean by pulling that chair from
under me?"
80, hope you did not hurt yourself
It is my awkardness, but I'll try and
not do it again." and helped him to his
feet, although she had nothing in the
world to do with his falling.
He then sat down on the sofa, and
sliding off on the floor, abused her like
a pickpocket for lifting up the other end
of the sofa, all of which she took good
and finally she led him to
the supper table. He threw plate at
her, but she acted as if she had not no
ticed it, and asked him if he would take
tea or coffee.
Then the brute seized the tablecloth
and sat down on the floor, pulled the
dishes and everything else over with
him, in one grand crash.
What did this noble woman do? Do
you suppose she grumbled and talked
about going home to her ma, or that she
sat down and cried like fool, or that
she sulked and pouted :? Not a bit oft.
With pleasant smile she said:
WHY, 0COISOg tAat . q AOW ANS0l
isn't it? We have been married ten
years and have never yet eaten our sup
per on the floor. Won't it be fun-just
like those picnics we used to go to be.
fore we got married." And then this
angelic woman deliberately sat down on
the floor along side of the wretch, ar
ranged the dishes and fixed him a nice
supper.
This broke George all up. He owned
up he was only fooling her. and offered
to give her the $50 to get herself a new
hat, but she took the money and bought
him new suit of clothes and a box of
cigars.
Heaven will have to be repaired and
whitewashed before it is fit for that kind
of woman.-GdlvestOn NeaUs.

out of breath. ''There," he said, beaminR

bere, tapping himself, sis the new Roger
