oYsTgn suPPEK.
Do one fair November night.
The moon had gone but sttrs were bright,
Seven boys Ia our town,
All with smiles aud moss with frs~n,
Indulgod in modern gambling
some bet on Cleveland, others Blaine,
The girls cared not, twas al the sans
For bet they will, aud bst they must.
They never quarreled never fused,
Nor on the streets found rambling
Hunger called tbom all to eat,
Ths losers must ths winners treat.
Besides the boys seven girls
With smiles. aud bangs, and many eurls
Were on the list for supper,
The hour came, aud all were there,
All were ysung aud all wero fair
And what was placed before that crew,
Ill tell you new. and tell you true,
Was placed bsforc them proper.
They talked and laughed abeut election !:
Some spoke of daintiss and confsetion
Hat oysters stewcd, aud 0ysters fried
As COED as any ever tried,
Prevailed without dissensi0u.
This was in the days Of sighty.four,
That happy crew these Joys bore.
They talkedand laughed and stayed spell
Said many things cannot tell,
On the eve of this cbLyention.
When all announced that they wers done
The hours At bani 70 stop the Fan Il
With one accorl they al arose
Each boy forthwith his partner chose
And for their homes iBteadcd.
On their way just what they thought,
Or how their niads with ideas frausht,
Ic7nnot say just at this time
Oh yes they said we'll mako rhyme,
About tins meeting splendid.
And now you see I've got 70 try
A substitute / cannot buy
To write rhyme never could
Impcach my word / never wooid,
Ny thoughts are all confusion.
Bat mnst say u the happy crew,
The years are numbered and are lew,
When all who live will sigh for the day,
When these happy hours passed away.
Oh why 10 life decisive!
A few short hours on an autuma eve.
Famed y ith the murmurings Of gentle breeze
think Of the joyful heuu that's gone,
That's known alone in rhyme or song
To this gay asserbiage.
shall time ehace the pleasant hour.
Shall moments sweet become sour.
Or shall We say the times net yet
Whsn this dear hour We will forget
When hearts were light as pInmsgs.
Oar pathway then was strewn with roses !;
Alas /! such Joy so soon closes
Wen feel the pangs Of trsubied hsats.
When Joys like this from us departs.
Shall 10 return again or never
Oh ! yes our pleasures just begun,
Our earthly race We have net wsn.
And new 70 yeu, my dearest frisndr,
Good night for my desire tends
To think Of you forever.

fore Judge Whitney, in the County Court,
which elected some little interest. Margaret
Galloway was plaintiff and Walter Rohere

in OF stallion. Tho evidence was conflict
ing. As nearly as we could ascertain tho
facts, the plaintiff claimed 10 own the horse,
but her husband, while under the influence
OF liquor, SO it was charged. sold or traded
the horse 10 the defendant, and the defendant
refused to deliver it up 10 the plaintiff whom
commanded to do so in fact on the trial he
claimed that he was merely acting for his
mother in the case, and should not have been
made the defendant, and any way that the
stallion belonged to the plaintiffs husband,
or If it did not. that she was present and
saw the trade. The case was preaen.ed to
the jury. but they agreed about As nearly -
the parties, three taking one aide and three
the other, and thus they hung necessitat-
ing at somo other time another trial.
