knees and very loose at the lower extre-
mites, an exceedingly short coat and q
narrow brimmed hat, as he passed another
youth similarly clad, at the corner OF
Eight and South streets last evening.

person addressed, and then both men

''What does that mean?, asked q re-

on the corner.
''That's the latest slang, but blest i'll
know what it means," responded the
officer. 81 haven't heard anything else

sick. The girls are worse than the men,
for they have a regular string of it. just

Man and His AIiseries.


Man that is born of woman is small po-
tatoes and few in the hill.
He riseth up to-day and flourisheth like
a ragWeed, and tomorrow or the day after
the undertaken has him in the ice box.
He gOeth forth in the morning warbling
like lark, and is knocked out in one
round and two seconds.
In the midst Of life he is in debt, and the
tax collector pursueth him wherever he
goes.
The banister Of life is full of splinters,
and he slideth down with considerable
rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright sunlight
to absorb ozone, and meeteth the bank
teller with a sight draft for 1857.
He cOmeth home at eventide and meet
eth the wheelbarrOw in his path, and the
wheelbarroW riseth up and smiteth him
to the earth, and falleth upon him, and
runneth one of its legs into his ear.
In the gentle spring-time he putteth on
his summer clothes, and a blizzard
striketh him far away from home, and
filleth him with woe and rheumatism.
