Near the prsttgsilIage Of West Far
ling, in the County of Kent-which
shares with the Isle of Wight the title
of Garden of England"-there has
been settled for some time one of the
most ancient of gypsy tribes. Itsmem-
bers-as gipsies go-were fairly re-
spectacle, and as to descent, the men
who came over with the Conqueror
could not hold candle to people
whose Queen claimed to be a lineal de-
scendant of Cleopatra. The gem OF
the tribe was "a dark-eyed damsel
known as Nance,sand the pretty Kent
ish valley was soon alive with her
praises, not alone on account of, her
beauty, but also because of her good
ness and modesty. She had several of
fers of marriage from young men her
superiors in riches, if not in lineage,
but was not to be lightly won. Nova
days even Gypsy Queens have to work
for their living, and Nance was no ex-
ception to the rule, so when autumn
came and hops began to load the poles
Nance hired herself out to Mr.. Ambrose
Ward, one of the largest growers and
wealthiest men in the district. All
went we'll for few days. but one fine
morning both Mr.. Ambrose Ward and
the dark-eyed gypsy hop-picker were
missed from their accustomed haunts.

A THANKSGIVING TRAGEDY.

James sat down to eat his dinner
On a bright Thanksgiving day,
And he murmured 81 will tackle
Everything that comes my way"
James,, his mother gently warned him,
flames, you mustn't eat too much;
You will find it dangerous business,
Eating turkey, quail and SUCH"
James paid no attention to her,
save TO give passing frown,
But continued doing business
Putting all the viands down;
Ven'son, partridge, duck and rabbit
Lobster, goose and chicken-pie,
Salads, sauces, entrees vanished
In the twinkling of an eye.
"Come, my son." exclaimed his father,
you have eaten quite enough,
Or you'll catch dreadful collie,
Filling up on such rich stuff
AL in vain--his heir apparent
Would not listen unto him,
But continued masticating-
Naughty, foolish, silly Jimt
Bigger, bigger grew his stomach,
Filled with pies and cakes and meat
Rounder, fuller, tighter, plumper-
Still he did not cease to eat.
When at last appeared the pudding,
James INDUCED smothered groan;
Darling, are you Sick?" his mother
Queried, in an anxious tone.
Then the foolish little fellow
Placed one hand upon his head
And the other on his stomach
"Goshp' he feebly, family said.
Papa FASTENED for the doctor,
Mamma shrieked and tore her hair;
But before assistance reached him
James had climbed the golden stair.
For there came a loud explosion,
Rending foolish James asunder- -
Filled too full of toothsome viands,
He had bursted all to thunder;
And for several weeks they labored
Ere enough of james was found
To adorn modest corner
In the family burying-ground.
