TYING HER BONNET UNDER HER
CHIN

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her raven ringlets in, a8e
But net alone in the silken snare
Did she catch her lovely, floating hair,
For tying her bonnet under her chin.
She tied a young mans heart within.
They were walking together up the
hill, s5 -a sse el-a1e
Where the wind GENES blowing merry
and chill,
And it blew the curls a frolicseme race
All over her happy, laughing face,
AS tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied the young mans heart within
And it blew color as bright as the
bloom
OF the pinkest fuschia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned romping curl; ;
Or, in ty ing her bonne under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within.
o! western winds, do you think it
was fair
To play such tricks with her floating
hair? H la
To gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the. young mans
breast?
Where he has gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled
chin.
All! Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
(After the sun had dried the dew
What perileus danger you'd be in,
AS you tied your bonnet under your
chin.

'shoodlum'' is bad enough in single "cus-

forces his family responsibilities upon
society he becomes a terror with which
judges and courts don't know how to
deal. 1t seems that no law has been

have to guess at the right thing to do.

UNExrECTED-MWsIC

Nearly all the democratic papers
have been congratulating themselves,
thst Mr.. Carlisle's election to the
speakership Of the House meant the
introduction Of q new and more yig-
orous era of democratic policy, a
reconstruction of the Tariff, a reduc-
ton of taxation, and the commence
ment of IAN extension of foreign COM
merce. The Courier Journal, aspir-
ing to be the special organ of that
portion of the democracy of which
Mr.. Carlisle is regarded as the repre-
sentative, says: .sThe West and the
South have at last come to under
stand each other. Planting them.
selves on the doctrine that all taxa
tion shall be for revenue, and that no
more revenue shall be collected than
is required, they will in advance of
the presidential battle, provide a mag
azine Of campaign material. Thus
they will educate xhes masses sand
ferystallize 9 polity, so that when we
come to meet the enemy in general
engagement, we may be armed from
head to foot, having on our side the
resources of combat and the courage
of conviction. ~ The Kansas City
Times is quite as expectant and ex-
claims: SAT last the Democratic
party has 9 positive and aggressive
policy. TIE great and everlasting
bug-bear of alarming capital and
alternating Ethef business interests of
the East is played out. The demo-
Gratis will favor a repeal q, the. Tariff
laws by which one shundieds and fifty
millions of dollars more than ere
necessary for the legitimate expenses
of the government are annually ex-
torted from the people" S But when
Mr.. Carlisle is elected Speaker, he
gives utterance to the following, amid
the applauses of those by whose
votes he was placed in position: 81
am sure, gentlemen, that all matters
of legislation presented during this
Congress will receive from you such
careful consideration, as the magni
tude and character of the interests
involved require, and that your action
upon them will be wise, conservative
and patriotic. Sudden and radical
changes in the laws and regulations
affecting the commercial and industri-
al interests of the people ought never
to be made, unless imperatively de-
manded by some public emergency
and in my opinion, under existing
circumstances such changes would
not be favorably received by any com
siderable number of those who have
given serious attention to thesubject. !"
These words are reassuring after the
bombastic journalism the country has
been treated to. Let it not be said,
they are merely expressions, the ora
tor felt compelled to use, as suited to
his party's exigencies, since whatever
else Mr.. Carlisle is, he is an honest
statesman, who will not speak one
way and work another. The times,
however, are interesting. In the
present Congress the hosts will be
most probably arrayed and the tactics
of the coming canvass made unmis
takably known. -.a q ...-

Rim Van Wrinkle.

Washington Irving never gave to.
the world of letters a more beautiful
thing than Grip Van Wlnkle." r.
wing has long since passed into the
land of spirits but the story. lives and
deserved to be dramatized. The
story is never inspired. 1t begins in
the Hudson Valley, famous in poetry
and history. The Catskill mountains
are the background, and Rip Van
Winkle is handed down to US in mar
tiai lineage as the hero. He was be-
loved of the village wives and chill
dren, but a jealous wife could not
see his virtues, and like many a man
before and since, failing to receive
kind words at home drowned bis
troubles in the flowing bowl. Among
the many untrue, Schneider, his dog,
was true; he didn't scold-an odd
bone and the eompanonship of his
master was all he asked. 1t was nat
ural that when Rip Van Wrinkle wan
tlered off into the mountains that
Schneider should follow him. Wheth-
er they found odd fairies at nine-pins,
or whether it was Holland Gin, does
not ..detract from II the. story....~Rir
drank the mixture, as indeed he was
addicted 10 drinking anything above
the suspicion Sof water. He slept,
the story says, for twenty years. In
that sleep he had outlived his dog,
his gun had grown old and rusty, and
he had also outlived the woman who
had driven him out into the storm.
To attempt to change the plot is to
mar it; therefore, is Joseph Jefferson
a mar-plot. As he plays it Rip finds
on his return, his wife welded to the
man who caused all his trouble. Rob-
ert McWade plays Rip Van Wrinkle
to life. Where he has appeared be
has so ably represented the story that
Jefferson has suffered by comparison.
