New York Tribune,
Edwin Thomas Tattooing Artist" was the
sign that greeted the eyes of a reporter on South
street and Old slip Two flights up. in a room
furnished with desk and half dozen chairs,
the artist was found at work Three stawart
and sun-browned sailors We're loungng about
the ROOM By the window sat Mr. Thomas
holding the hand of a sailor lad, which
ne was tattooing. A saucer containing India
INK, and one containing vermilion, stood on
chair by his side. Into one or the other of these
saucers he continually dipped four small needles
| fastened to a handle, and then pricked away at
the back Of the boys hand, on which
belhgerent eagle, holding in its tai
ons an American flag, was beginning
to appear. The sailor boy and his companions

The tattooer opened a book containing designs
drawn in India ink and vermilion. and showed
the reporter representation of impossible

on which was inscribed I'm memory of my

O. Theodore of all musicianers
Thou art the boss with long primer B,
When thou dost mount thy box and swing thy stick,
With gold upon the further end of it,
And of thy hired men some two or three
Begin an easy sort of playing
The various instruments on which they
Do perform a funny feeling goes
Crawling up and down my spinal column,
Just like it does when culling taffy from
buttered stick. Then thou dost swing with more
Vivacity thy little club, and all
The other boys keep chipping in, as when
And of the holding two ten spots are found
To be the upmost hand But after while
Dost thou the circumambient atmosphere
Like thunder pound, and opened is the pot,
And every one comes in, and chips pile up,
With anxious zeal the fddlers chose their bows
To have and hold them for thine own and TO
Thine heirs forever more. For at this time
want to rise up in my seat and howl,
And holler '.whoop," and get throwed out and go
Get full of Kansas whisky and get run
Into the coolers deepest recess dark,
And get fined and make an idiot of
Myself in general But do not;
For in a soothing way thou coolest off
Their rampant fire, shutting them down so slow
hardly know they're gone Fen so at night,
As have stood upon the boundless plains,
And seen the affrighted train gorushing by,
And in the sleepng-car there did repose
girl from Omaha-Ah! thus I've heard
Her gentle snore grow faint and fainter on
The troubled air. till at the horizon
Twas lost and was left alone.

cont to Old Aunt Marv,s.n

Wasn't it pleasant O. brother mine,
In those old days of the lost sunshine
Of youth-when the Saturdays chores were through
And the Sundays wood in the kitchen, too,
And we went visiting me and you,
Out to old Aunt Mary'sl"
1t all comes back so clear to-day!
Though am as bald as you are gray
Out by the barn-lot and down the lane,
We patter along in the dust again,
As light as the tips of the drops of the rain,
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
We cross the pasture, and through the wood
Where the old gray snag of the poplar stood
Where the hammering 'red-heads' hoped away,
And the buzzard raised in the open sky
And lolled and circled as we went by
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
And then in the dust of the road again;
And the teams met and the countrymeni
And the long highway with the sunshine spread
As thick as butter on country bread
And our cares behind, and our hearts ahead
Out to old Aunt Mary's
& see her in the open door
Where the little gourds grew up the sides and Ger
The clapboard roof.-And her face--oh me!
Was mt it good for boy to see?
And was'nt it good for boy to be
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
And o. my brother, so far away,
This is to tell you she waits to-day
To welcome us. Aunt Mary fell
Asleep this morning whispering, Tell
The boys to come" And all is well
Out to old Aunt Marys.

The Song of the spendthrift.

All vows of thrift my soul abiures,
While my cup is full to the brim;
The world, the flesh or the devil lures,
And, though poverty turks like goblin grim,
I'll stint and save some other day
For money is round and rolls away.
The blinking coin gathers rust and mold
When boarded by itching palms;
Blue eyes are brighter than disks of gold,
And girdle the glad earth in my arms;
If love is true, true love will stay,
But money is round and rolls away.
In the spheres above let my spirits roam,
Where there's nothing to win or lose;
While l live on the earth l am never home,
And light my pipe with my Il. 0. Us
When my ship comes in all debts I'll pay,
For money is round and rolls away.

We have long held the opinion that the mos

our own lively flea six stones and a beating over

startling. 1t appears that in the "bill of the

Out of the East reluctantly
Fade the lights of the midnight skies,
Waning and paling constantly;
Seen and unseen by watching eyes,
Seeming and seeming not to be
Tricking the sense with their mystery
Like fairy ships on phantom sea.
Up from the East exultingly
Rises the king of the joyful day
Chasing the pale moon laughingly,
Driving the mists of the morn away,
Uniting the sky with a master hand,
Waking the birds to musical glee,
Till the world is made wonderland.
Often when thus the dawn is nigh
Ecstasy wells in this heart of mine;
For, tinting my souls high-vaulted sky
see the CLEANS of day divine
Driving before them the shades of pain,
Filling the world with rapture high
While peace low hovers ard love doth reign.

hear the blackbirds at levee
Among the brookside Willows
And in the breeze-swept wheat fields see
The surge of golden pillows.
The cherries CLEAN from out the green
With ruby-colored glowing,
Like gems by young Aladdin seen
On trees enchanted growing.
About the hives I hear the bees
The air with music filing,
AS though with careless touch the breeze
A thousand chords were thrilling.
With tanning wings or sailing fight,
The butterflies glide over
The fields where blend the red and white
Of honey scented clover.
see CLEAN of bead-like glow
Among the meadow grasses.
AS gliding slyly to and fro
The busy chipmunk passes.
A brown patch on the meadow sward
Shows where, alert and cunning
The woodchuck, keeping wary ward
Is at his doorway summing.
With stars of gold the meadow,
The pollen on the herdsgrass plumes
Shows like purple shadow.
Knee-deep within the shaded brook,
Where cool the water FLASHES,
The cattle glance with lazy look
From meath their dropping lashes.
Their airy ways athwart the sight
The yellow birds are wingingi
And on their undulating fight
Their chipping songs are singing.
Upon the verdant pastures sweep
The eye wilderness catches,
Which Aecks the green where Craze the sheep
Like winter drifted patches.
Where falls the fences shading gloom
Along the lines of travel,
The blue lobelia's modest bloom
Peeps shyly from the gravel.
/ see the waving plumes of corn,
Against whose serried lances
The gauntest foe of famine born
To battle neer advances.
My vast estate with pride see
And feel to thank the donor
For sights and sounds in simple fee
Of which am the owner.

Baby's Birthday.

Mondays BARN is fair of face;
Wednesdays BARN is child of woe;
Thursdays BARN has far to go
Fridays BARN is loving and giving
Saturday BARN works hard for living;
But the BARN that is born on the Sabbath day
Is lively and bonnie and wise and gay.
Contrast with this the English version:
Born of Monday, fair of face
Born of Tuesday, full of Gods grace;
Born of Wednesday, merry and glad
Born of Thursday, and sad
Born of Friday, godly given
Born of Saturday, work for living,
Born of Sunday, never shall want

you will hurt yourself
Little Dick Well you will get me a lot of
pnwheels and rockets, won't youl Mamma
Why, the very idea horrifes me. You might set
yourself on fire, or perhaps the rockets would go
off too soon and carry you up.
Little Dick-You will take me on an excursion
anyhow, won't youl Mamma-No DEAR you are
so reckless you would be sure to get drowned or
something.
Little Dick-But what shall do to celebrate
the Fourth of July? Mamma-Wel if you are

In summer singing birds are still
However tuneful all the spring;
