THE AFTER-DINNER ORATOR.
Ia sits amid az social throng.

He sits amid the social throng,
A gloomy, silent man;
He scarcely once has spoke or smiled
Since first the feast began:
He seems sufferer under some
Mysterious, cruel ban.
The soup has passed untasted by
1t was not to his wish;
He takes no interest in the plate
That bears piece of fish;
The same is subsequently true
Of every other dish.
In vain the lady at his side
Her kindness would displaYs
He blankiV looks her in the face,
And nothing has to say,
Or answers, ii he speaks at all,
Some inappropriate way.
The band strikes up merry tune;
1T only makes him groanl
A voice OF knocking laughter seems
To sound in every tone:
% Hell he!" remarks the fiendish flute;
Ho! ho!' the deep trombone!
A speaker rises now to speak
With eloquence and wit:
His every word draws smiles or tears,
Or thunders after it;
That writhing man in agony
More dreadful seems to sit!
Each moment his sad spirit seems
In deeper depths to sink:
He fain would take a glass of wine;
But no! he may not drink!
He mutters: Wine is not friend
To thought; and must thinkv'
20 memory, mother of the MuseI
How dear art thou to each!
And what a woe invades the soul
When thou art out of reach!
This haplesS wretch has got to speak,
And has forgot his speech!
But Fate will never pause for Woe;
And Fate. in accents grim
That issue from the chairman's lips,
Soon makes call for kim
As il the table were a stream,
The faces seem to swim!
He feels more like to drown than swim;
He clutches at q chair;
With trembling fingers he essays
TO smooth his startled hair
And then, with all his might and main,
Assumes an easy air
He says he would have been prepared
If they had let him know:
But catching here the chairman's eye
He lets that statement go,
And says the chairman is his friend,
If he may call him SO!
He pauses; and to pass the time
Repeats again the same:
He glows, but not with heat produced
By the right kind of flame;
For inspiration he has yearned,
And perspiration came.
All, yes! that story that had seemed
So humorous to him erst!
He tells, 1t. leaving out the point
And putting wrong end first:
of all the failures of the night,
Methinks this is the worst!
The kindly listeners say: Here! hearp
When he is most distressed;
And where his story's point should be,
As near as can be guessed,
They spread a laugh, like charity,
That covers all the rest.
AT last he takes his seat. But 10!
What Wondrous change is this?
He smiles, he sips, he chats he seems
No chance of mirtf to miss;
In short, the late unhappy man
Is beaming now with bliss!
Unto his lady's soft remarks
He gaiiy answers back.
Says she: = A dinner-speech must be
A torture like the rack!''
: Oh no." says he, TITS not so hard

representatives in the eongressional'direc-

THEY WENT TO ORION.
But Didn't "keep in de Middle oh de
Road " and so Lost Their WAY.

Nice sleighing" ''Oh, yes, very
fine, answered young man this morn
ing, who looked as though his rest had
been broken for the past several nights.
Il was out myself last night, but got
enough sleighing to last me throughout
the winter" "How's that" asked the
man of news. "Oh, you will give it away
if tell you; find out from somewhere
else" And away the young man went in
search of sandwich to stop the gnawing
at his vitals. The man of news having
got on the scent of an item, started forth
to learn the particulars, and succeeded
better than he anticipated.
He discovered that sleighing party of
about ten couples left the city after sup
per last night, bound for Orion, in a
bob sled 1t was jolly crowd,
and they laughed and sang until
they reached their destination. A party
was in progress at Orion to which they
were invited. After participating in the
festivities until about 2 a. M, they start
ed on their homeward journey. 1t seems
that the air was pretty cool, at any rate
the occupants of the sleigh covered them.
selves with buffalo robes, so that even
their faces were not visible. The driver,
too, followed the others example, and
let the horses have their own way. It is
not stated whether the entire party went
to sleep or not, but it is too be presumed
they did, for they went right
through Milan and didn't discover
their whereabouts until Andausia was
reached, and they found to their discom-
future that they were twelve miles from
home. After Gliding each other for miss
ing the way, they crossad over to the
Iowa side and started for Davenport. But
it was getting nearly morning, the horses
were tired out, and finally gave out en-
tirely after getting within three miles of
the city. 1t is easy to picture the look of
dispair that passed over their faces. as
they asked whats to be done?7 There
was only one alternative left--to walk.
And this they proceeded to do. 1t was
three long, weary miles, but the distance
was finally covered, and this city was
reached about nine o'clock. nlr. Theodore
Wakefield was the originator of the affair.
and among the other gentlemen who had
the pleasure" of being expected and
were there, might be mentioned Charles
Steel, o. Hawthorne, W. Spafford, T.
Babcock, H Bollman, Fred E. Berry, F
Hadsel and the Messrs. Mcdonald. The
ladiesnames we will suppress, as they are
so sensitive, you know The boys all re
gard it as huge joke, but think they
will not be in hurry to go to Orion
again.
