a Love Story.


Joe Hamerick loved the widow Sue,
and for her hand sued. And prayed
she'd be the widow who'd resign her
widowhood; and all things for her
sake he'd do that ever could be doed
He said for her his heart did heave
as 1t had never hove, and if she did
that heart deceive as it was near de.
sove, he then would be compelled to
grieve as he had never grove.
He said his peace could not abide
away from her abode, al d his burning
love he fain would hide, but it would
not be hode; it would through all the
future glide as he had always glode.
Said he, my dear, of you think as
no man ever thank. think your
eyes when they do blink the best that
ever blank; they have the very sweet
est wink that ever yet was wank.
The brightest mouth l ever saw or
any man has sawn! Those lips, oil, l
would like to chaw as lips were never
chawn. One kiss from them my soul
would thaw as it was never thawn.
He thought the songs that she
would sing were never sweeter sung,
such tears unto his eyes they'd bring,
as ne'er before were brung, and with
a very costly ring her tender heart he
rung.
By kindly praise he did contrive,
and thought he had controve, to make
his fond attentions thrive, but ah,
they never throve! the day he looked
for to arrive, alas, it ne'er arrove.
Another man came who could sling
more words than e'er were slang, and
from Joe Hamerick she took wing
and with that other wang, cried Joe,
"Alas, she does not cling! I'm sorry
that clang"
His tender heart began to freeze,
his fond affections froze, heart pains
upon his heart did seize, and on his
bosom soze, and he began to weep and
sneeze-.such sneezer neer were
snoze.
His hair he then began to tear, and
fearfully he tore, his breast was filled
with worse despair than ever man dis
pore, and he began to rave and rear,
and wfully he rore.
He bought some laudanum to drink,
and quite lot he drunk, he doubled
up, and one last blink was all the
blink he blunk; the sexton dug six
foot chink, and in Joe Hamelick he

A Texas paper tells this cheerful tale
of the experimental school of medicine:

and fifteen dozen.
Many children become industrious
and 60 out for a day with the frogs,
They do not meet with the shining sue.
cess they anticipate, as they generally
get about as many hop toads as frogs
fact which is readily discovered by
the purchaser, as the leg of the toad
is much shorter than that of his eata-
BILE brother.
The method of preparing the frog
for market is the only cIuel feature
connected with the industry, aud
should some member of the human So
ciety deyote as much time to cruelty
10 frogs as to prying into a family
muddle when a recalcitrant boy is he
ing punished, there might be some
methods devised relieving it of that
one Objectionable feature. Very few
know how to prepare frog for mar.
ket. The party who preiorms that
part takes the frogs hipd legs in bis
left hand, and a pair of formidable
looking shears in lis right, and before
the animal knows what fate is IN store
for him hind quarters are amputated
with speed and ease that would do
credit to an army surgeon. If the
frog was killed at this juncture no one
conld possibly object. But he is not.
He is allowed to get along as best he
can on his fore legs, often hopping
around for hours before yielding up
the ghost. The hind quarters are then
stripped of their skin, put in clear,
cold water, and are ready for the table
either for breakfast, dinner, supper,
or luncheon.
The Rocky Mountain frog is not a
remarkable leaper, however; he is too
fat and the altitude is against him.
But he makes a remarkably savory
dish, and, as said before, is becoming
more popular than ever in the West.

Mr.. Stupid, who was hurrying to get
in out of shower, tried to push his

the doors was open; but the opening
was too narrow to admit the umbrella.

London journals, while they admit
that American girls are famous for an
elegant and refined type of loveliness,
that French ladies are the best dressed
in the world, that the German youthful
frauleins have the finest heads of hair,
the Spanish girls the brightest eyes, to
be found anywhere, and that in Venice
and Florence may be seen to this day
direct descendants of those Old World
blonde beauties still fresh and fair on
Titien's canvas, claim that young Eng
lish ladies remain ampler in limb, clear
er of complexion, and more hearty than
any others. This they attribute to
plain food, sound sleep, suitable cloth
ing. exercise in open air, and a plenti-
full application of soap and water.

The testimony of many who long suf-
fered from ill health, caused by an i'm
pure state of the blood, goes to prove
that the best remedy for making the
blood rich, red and pure, for beautifying
the complexion, for curing sores, PIN
pies and other skin diseases, for remov-
ing aches, pains, stiff joints, rhematism,
etc; for increasing the power of endur-
ance, for giving health and strength to
every weak portion of the body, is DR..

New York Times: Four naval Ca
dets, having been found guilty of haz-
ing, have been dismissed from the SER
vice. These young men are now
probably of the opinion that the pleas
ure of forcing defenseless boy to
stand on his head and to eat soap was
dearly purchased by the loss of their
profession and the disgrace of expul.
sion from the navy. 1t is expected
that naval officers should be brave
men and gentlemen, but it is self.evi-
that "hazers'' are neither.

A very slight error of fact or prac-
tice will sometimes result in a serious
mistake. This was recently illustra-
ted in a school in this city, where a
pupil who had been impressed with
the force and value of double letters,
such as double o. in fool" "double
e" in "heel," ETC., was called upon to
read that touching poem exhortatory
to early rising, beginning:
Up, up, Lucy! The Gun is in the sky!'
Surprise, which soon gave way to
hilartv, was occasioned when the pu-
pill read the line: double up, Lucy!
The sun is in the sky!" thus giving it
a significance by no means contem-
plated by the poet.

A German scientist says that sound is
always accompanied by sensation of
color; for instance, "a melody played
on tenor sexophone is yellow, on a
clarionet red, on a piano blue" This
may explain why people who live next

always feel SO blue when she begins her

How proudly he steps
With his tight boots on!
Gaily he whistieth an opera air,

That stands by his side7
Shaped like the lost rib
That formed Adams bride;
Slightly curved like q neck
There is something see,
Yet head on that neck
There never can be,
Alive, has shape,
Yet no form can we find;
Ifa head, it lacks something,
1t must be the mind.
No mind and no judgement,

To call such = creature

She is the creature
That walks with the dude.
Though old is the story

And though the old cupboard
Was long since used up,
We have still Mother Hubbard,
And with her the pup.
