In honor virginal, in shame most hoary.

lie worked for honor we'll, with tongue and
pen,
And held an honorcd place with honest men.
I watched the firs, rash, downward step he
made,
When, for his chief, he chose a renegade,
And with a court fools baubic idly played.
saw him later in the senate stand,
Play with the future Of his foster land,
Vote like craven ciansman, AT command.
Not for the pottage that his master gave,
Not for the livery Of pampercd slave,
Not for the largess Of public grave.
But, why knew not-and know no, now,
] merely see the furrows on his brow,
The shame, that seems perennial, crown his
pow
And still see him stand, and still see
The lingering lineaments of honesty,
The man'cled manhood chahng 10 be free.
Come FORTH Paul Neumann Win what now

Freedom from scorn's tumultuous attack
Resign, and buy your battered manhood back

There was a good deal of interest
displayed by the cabinet recently in
discussing the project of the kings
stables. To one e-horse cabinet the
subject of equine housing is naturally
an interesting one
Said one Of the ministers ',o,her day,

To spell his pray with an "e."

The repeal of the audit act was
defeated last Tuesday by the sharp
practice of the ministerial following.
There is, however, one way ont of the
trouble. Many of the auditor generals
friends, who would feel rather unhappy
at having to cut of his official head,
might easily compound with their
consciences by refusing to vote his
salary
Apropos the recent discussion OF
the worse than uselessness the auditor
generals Office, fellow official, who is
unkindly obliged to earn his salary by
working for it, suggests that the loss OF
the auditor generals stipend ought not
greatly to inconvenience that official,
as it must maniiestly be pleasanter to
receive nothing Tor DOING nothing, in a
government office, than TO work hard
in the interests of insurance companies
and government contractors and receive
nothing for that.
Since the above was written the
ministerial majority have voted then
fellow offender his two years pay and
emphasized their contempt for economy
by voting salary for the most lselc SIS
office on the official list.
Two merry gen,iemen---their names no mat.
Drank wine together one nigh, recently
And both began, as bibblers will. to chatter
Each at the other most indecently
SO each, unguaried gave himself away
And each, unwilling, brought some good to

Each paid price 10 say his little say /;
And listeners learned IN zine tt,rfas.
