4 MISTAKE.

a Tadpole sat on a cold, gray stone,
And sadly thought of his life.
'Alas, must live all alone" said he,
'Or shall espouse me wife?"
A wise old Frog, on the brink of the stream,
Leaned over, and said. with a sigh:
90, wait till you're older. my dear young
friend,
You'll have better taste by-and-by?
''Girls change, you know, and the Pollywog
slim,
That takes your fancy to-day,
May not be the Polly at all you'd choose
When the summer has passed away"
But the Tadpole rash thought he better knew,
And married Pollywog fair,
And before the summer was over, he sat
On the brink of the stream in despair.
For, would you believe it2 his fair young bride
Proved to be but stupid frog,
With never a trace of the beauty and grace
OF young Miss Pollywog.
And although the Tadpole himself had grown
Stout and stupid, too,
He only saw the faults of his wife
CAS- others sometimes do.
To ali young Tadpoles my moral is this:
Before you settle in life,
Be sure you know without any doubt
What you want in the way of wife.

Carnival.

The carnival ut the roller skating
rink last Monday night was the finest
ever seen in this city, we believe
The costumes were elegant and OF
great variety. Many of them looked
magnificent. The rink was illumin-
ated by four powerful electric lights,
and the ceiling was decorated with
u. S. banners and Chinese lanterns.
Around the skating floor where sew
eral rows of spectators, who, at the
time Of our visit, must have number
ed over five hundred. Every one
present seemed delighted with the
gliding panorama that whirled around
the rink. II was q sight we'll worth
seeing. The gorgeous dresses, quaint
costumes, the lively music by the
Germania band, the bright lights and
the sea of faces all tended to make the
scene one that will not easily be for
COTTON by those who witnessed it. 1t
was as If a court scene Of times gone
by had been transported to Alpena.
Then the easy and graceful motions
of the skaters as they glided by, and
constant intermingling of costumes,
together with the pleased expressions
on the many faces, all combined to
make the carnival an enhancing pic
ture.
About eleven O'Clock the skates
were removed and the floor taken
possession by the devotecs of the
waltz and the quadrille until about
twelve o'clock.
All honest attempts to amuse the
citizens and help them to discard the
cares of business for short time, arc
worthy Of reward, and we should
judge from the crowd present, that
the persons who got up the carnival
we're repaid for their trouble, and they
certainly deserved to be. Neither
should the ladies and gentlemen who
were present in costumes be forgotten.
1t was their presence in costume that
made the carnival a pleasure to look
at, and, while they appeared to be
enjoying themselves. they certainly
furnished enjoyment TO tho spectators.
Lords, dukes, princess, and courtiers
were abundant in Alpena that night.
