WHAT THE CIRCUS DID.

We were a quiet and sober set,
Little accustomed to noise and fret,
Decent and modest at work or play,
And oh so proper in every way,
Before we went.to the circus.
Nobody had ever seen us go
At all too fast, or at all to slow:
No matter how gaily we talked OF
sang,
We never used word of slang
Before we went to the circus.
We went to church, or we went tc
school,
Rv the strictest ortb odox kind of rule
For we were of dutch descent,
And rather phleymatic of temperament
Until we went to the circus!
Alas and alas! tits woful sight.
The way we are changed at the time
writed
Father is swaying against the breeze,
Hung by the toes from high trapeze,
frying to copy the circus!
The boys on their heads, with feet in
air,
Are riding wild horsos on each high
chair; -, >,
Or down on their backs on the sidewalk
brick
Are balancing tubs for juggling trick !;
The girls have painted their hands and
face,
And got themselves up tor an Indian
race,
AS they saw them do at .he circus.
Mother high up on the table stands,
Swinging the baby with both her
hands,
Swinging the baby with many rub.
Aud brandishing him like an Indian
club!
While baby himself. in a terri BILE fright.
How is like a Zulu from morn till
night.
Since we all went to the circus!
Alas and alas! l can only say,
/ wish in the night, | wish in the day
/ wish with my heart, l wish with my
head,
I wish with my ears, which are nearly
dead,
I wish with a sort of mute despair,
/ wish with shrek that woull rend the
air,
We never had gone to the circus!

The Last of Mooney.
Oxford Enterprise.

At two minutes to 2 o'clock, last
Friday, at Malad, Michael Mooney paid
the penalty for his share in the murder
of Joel Hinckley, at Franklin, Idaho,
on the 9th of Oct, 1881. He did not
weaken, but was undaunted to the
last, and died, as the saying goes,
game. He refused all spiritual aid OF
comfort, saying he was murderer at
heart anyway. DR.. j. w. Morgan at
tended to his special wants. In the
morning he had a clean shave and a
