4 RHYmE OF THE TIME.

Miss Pallas Eudora Won Blurky
She didn't know chicken from turkey;
High Spanish and Greek
She could huently speak,
Blu her knowledge of poultry was murky,
She could tell the great uncle OF Moses,
And the dates of the wars of the Roses,
And the reason of things
Why the Indians wore rings
In their red, aboriginal noses.
Why Shakespeare was wssng in his grammar
And the meaning of Emerson's "Brahrla; -
And she went chopping rocks
With little black box
And small geological hammer.
She had views upon co-edueation,
And the principal needs of the nation;
And her glasses were blue,
And the number she knew
OF the stars in each high constellation.
And she wrote in a handwriting clerky,
And she talked with an emphasis jerky,
And she painted on tiles,
In the sweetest of styles,
But she didn't know chicken from turkey.

that the Emperor OF China sent armies to
Anam during periods OF dissffection TO
compel the return of the people to their al
legiance. II is tue ths China never inter-
feres in their local af4irs, but always regards
these provinces q the United States regards
Texas or OHIO. 1t was the Emperor of China
who suppressed the rebellion against the
reigring princes. 1t is the Emperor Of China
vino changed the dynasty; and tribute has
always been paid in recognition of his suz.-

oppression OF Catholic missionaries the
French occupied six provinces. China was
then engaged with the Tapping rebellion,
which seriously meDaced the dynasty and
prevented the Emperor from projecting his
tributary States.
