During this time fireworks were sent
up from at least dozen points in

gave HALEY the appearance of being
on fire. Anybody coming to town at

Several large pieces of fireworks

An editor in Chicago recently ordered pair
of trousers from the tailor. On trying them
on they proved to be several inches too long.
1t being late on Saturday night, the tailor &
shop was closed, and the editor took the
trousers to his wife and asked her to cut them
off aud hem them over. The good lady,
whose dinner had, perhaps, disagreed with
her, brusquely refused. The same result fol
lowed an application to the wfo's sister and
the eldest daughter. But before bedtime the
wife, relenting, took the pants and, cutting
OF six inches from the legs, hemmed them up
nicely, and restored them to the closet Halt
an hour later her daughter, taken with COM
junction for the unflial conduct, took the
trousers, and, cutting of six inches, hemmed
and replaced them. Finally, the sister in law
felt the pangs Of conscience, and she too per.
formed an additional surgical operation on the
garment. When the editor appeared at
breakfast on Sunday the family thought a
Highland chieftain had arrived. Tile CCatu

Clouds above, az white as wool,
Drifting DER the skies as blue
As the eyes Of beautiful
Children when they smile at you;
Groves Of maple, elm and beech,
With the sunshine sifted through
Branches, mingling each with each,
Dim with shade and bright with dew;
STRIPPING trees, and poplars hoar,
Hickory and sycamore,
Aud the drowsy dogwOod bowed
Where the ripples laugh aloud,
Aud the grooming creek is stirred
To a gayety that now
Mates the warble Of the bird
Teetering on the hnzel-bough;
Grasses long and fine and fair
As your schOolbOy sweetheart's hair
Backward reached aud twirlcd and tWined
BY the fingers Of the wind;
Vines and mosses interlinked,
Down dark aisles and deep ravinca,
Where the stream runs, willow w-brinkcd,
Round a bend where some one leans
Faint and vague and iudistinct
As the like reflected thing
In the current shimmering.

Where the truant stream has gone,
NoI the echoes Of the wood
Till no word is understood,
Save that one is we'll aware
Happiness is hiding there.
There, in lcaty cOverts, nude
Little bodies poise and leap,
Spattering the solitude
Aud the silence everywhere
Mimic monsters Of the deepl
WallOwing in the sandy shoals
Pluugug huadong out Of sight;
And, with spurtings Of delight
Clutching hands, and slippery soles
Climbing up the treacherous steep
over which the spring board spurns
Each again as he returns.
Ah the glorious carnival!

Eyes that burn-but. In beneath,

Every task forgotten quite

he tied up bag of oats There's my son
John, for instance. Everybody beats him in
a boss trade, swindles him on a watch dicker,
aud leaves him out in the cold when he farms
on shares. He's good-hearted, but there's no
business about him. If had to depend on
John, I'd die in the poor house" He wrestled
the bag aside, seized another, and continued:
And there was my son Philip-keen as ra-

in New Jersey dare offer him a pair of old
boots for $500 hoss for fear of being cheat
ed" 'Is he dead ?" eyes, he's gone, and
that was the sharpest trick of all. He found
he'd got consumption, and what did he do but
hunt up a life insurance agent. take out a
$1,000 policy, give his note for the premium,
and come home and fall of load of hay and
run a pitchfork clear through him. Some
sons would have hung on and doctored round
and wanted currant jelly and chicken soup for
eighteen months; but that warn't Phil. No,
