HIT OR MISS.

The dear little Misses we meet with in life,
What hopes and what fears they awaken.
For when man chooses a Miss for a wife
He may be Miss-led or Mistaken
When courted Miss Kid and secured the kiss,
Thought, in the warmth of my passion,
That I'd made great hit in thus gaining
Miss;
But twas only Miss-calculation.
For so many Misses surrounded Miss Kid,
With me and my love interfering,
A jealous MiSs-truSt put 1t into her head
That she ought not to give me hearing;
Then certain Misschance that / net with
one day
Almost sent my hopes to destruction,
For she felt Il suspicion q what would say.
All owing to one Miss-construction.
Deceived by one INSTRUMENTATION wrote,
The cause of her anger demanding;
Miss-direction prevented her getting the note,
And introduced misunderstanding;
When to make her my wife eXultingly sworc,
MiSs-belief made her doubt my intention,
And nearly got wed to Miss fortune before
could wean her from apprehension
But when she no longer would yield 10 Miss
doubt
Nor be led by Misrepresentation.
she had with Miss-like most serious tail-out,
And to wed felt no more hesitation.
And when to thechurch to be married we went,
Mistake made the parson to linger,
And got SO annoyed by an awkward Misa-tit,
That put the wiring on the wrong finger.
Having been so Miss-used, l kept strict
watch,
For | still felt Il fear of misleading;
And found, when too late, an unlucky Miss
match
Interfered with the joys of our wedding.
Miss-rule in our dwelling put everything
wrong,
Miss management there took her station.
TIL my cash, like the time taken reading this
song,

The speakers were a couple of scedy-

saloon a few minutes previous, joined
the circle around the stove, and called
for 1.-TWO bootlegs of beer"

The "schooners' were replenished,

tobacco from his entertainer and com
menced his story.
Twenty years ago l was police
man in Buffalo, and Bill, here, was
down on his luck, and doing nothing,

They were paying five hundred dollars
for subs at that time, so | turned the
fellow over to Bill, and he rushed him
In. That was making two hundred and
fifty dollars apiece pretty easy, so Bill

AT first we used to watch around
and when we found q sucker Bill
would accuse him of something and |
would arrest him and give him his
choice of going to the workhouse OF
enlisting. One day ! got hold of the
wrong kind of a fellow, and he peached
on me to the Captain, so ! had to
resign. Then Bill and | put up the
neatest job you ever heard of. Bill
knew lot of slick young fellows, and
we hired four of them, agreeing to give
them half and see them out of trouble,
The first place we struck was Erie,
and subs were bringing seven hundred
dollars there. We took the boys and
rugged them up to look like green
| Canucks, and then Bill marched up tc
the recruiting Office and pocketed two
thousand eight hundred dollars fol
them. When it was dark we took the
bows clothes and went out of town o
little ways and waited There were nc
barracks in the country that could holC
those fellows, and before midnight We
were on train bound for Cleveland
and the next day the boys enlisted
there. Then we tried Toledo, came ~
here to Detroit, got one thousand dol

1t took Joe Il long time to feed his

deal of talking was done. When he
returned Mr. Holton stood by the table
looking very sober, and there were tears

Then there was a general handshak-

| the wedding next afternoon; after which
Joe and his wife were to come back as
far as our house and the following morn
ing start for home.
The wedding was an old-fashioned
country one, and not long after the
ceremony Joe's sleigh was packed with
a cargo of feather beds, quilts, blankets
and housekeeping goods of various
| kinds, and a nice COW (the pick of the
herd) tied behind, for Mr.. Holton would
not let his daughter go empty handed.

Mormon Converts.

Most Of the recent converts made by
Mormon missionaries have been settled
in Colorado. One Of their settlements,
Manassa, in Conejos County, has been
visited by correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer, who furnishes his paper
with statement of the condition of af-
fairs there, and number of interviews
with individual converts to Mormonism.
These immigrants are mostly from .Geor-
gia and Kentucky. They were attracted
by the preaching of the missionaries,
who said nothing about polygamy or
blood atoneme ent, and forgot to mention
sha "dnc:riDss and co7enauts" and ya.
Eious other peculiar features of Mormon
ism: They kept pretty close to the old
Bible" They represented that Utah
was 4 land of promise, where ell would
be better of IN worldly way, and where
all Was goodwill aud brothcrly love.
When they reached their settlement,
they fo.nd ibe soil was capable of one
good crop in six years, thai polygamy
was practicetl; that they were obliged to
buy their supplies of the Mormon deal.
era, who charged them two or three
prices; that the "o!d Bible" vanished
into the background and the doctrines
and covenants of the Mormon Church
came prominently forxard; and thit
they we're expected ard required to vote
according to the dictation of the Mormon
leaders. 1t was an exercise of this last
prerogative of the Church that finally
goaded them to the point of revolt.
Half the Southerners ia tho colony are
now in Colorado, having refused at the
election last November TO vote the ticket
dictated b! the Mormon priesthood.
