HE YEARNS FOR GORE.
A Binghampton Fireman the Victim of
a Most Dastardly Plot.

4 most popular fireman of Bingham
ton. y. Y, has for some days been
wandering aimlessly about with D
funeral gait, wearing upon his face a
look so sad, so overwhelmingly painful,
that it attracts unusual attention.
some think him labOring under a
great hidden sorrow, and others avow
that the canker worm of remOrse for
some concealed crime Is gnawing at
his heart. The truth has at last leak
ed out. It seems our young friend
was desperately in love with one of
the Parlor city's farlest daughters and
for birthday present determined TO
give her fine sealskin cloak. Accord
ingly getting u leave of absence he
went to "a dry goods store. told the po-
lite and perfumed clerk what he pro-
posed to do and asked 10 be shown
something III the desired line. Il Sc
lection was soon made, placed in box
and neatly tied up, anu after asking
the calico assassination TO lay it aside
for short time he left the store 20
dress for visit. A tter he had gone
out, the sleeping devil Of mischief in
the clerks polluted heart reused up
and lea him in the commission of
trick so damuable that il would cause
the tiends who roam the dark Plu.
tonian shores to blush with shame.
Producing n box similar TO the one in
which the cloak had been placed, he
filled it with old newspapers, anu on
the top of them laid pair of red fan
mel drawers of the feminine gender
Then he tied the package up neatly,
wrote the tireman'S name on 1t and
went home to :upper. We would |
give the clerks name, but lie has a |
family depending upon him for sup
port, and the heart of his victim is |
yearning for gore. The fireman pres
emily came in, picked up his bundle,
and with light joyous step wended
his way TO the house Of his inanlOrata,
his eyes beaming with the light of an
ticipation, and whistling "lf | ever
cease to love" lie was affectionately
welcomed. and after few moments
said:
II have brought my darling a birth
day gift, and / think YOU will agree
with me that what | have brought you
will not only shelter your fair form
from the storms and frost, but it will
also attract marked attention every
time You exhibit 1t upon the street.
Men and women who may see 1t fitted
to your beautiful figure will turn aud
gaze after you as you promenade the
street, impelled by power which they
cannot resist, They will not only au-
nirc its neat III, which will show every
curve of yonr beautifully rounded
form, but the handsome color as the

motion OF such lovely body will he
20 the masses fascinating sight. How
ny heart beat with pleasure while
selecting the present, when L thought
now charming YOU will look with it
IN. have here few verses which |
for the occasion. and hope
1ou will preserve them also as a me.
nento Of the joyous event.
NY MARY's BIRTHDAY GIFT.
Here at my darling's feet lay
tribute of my love-
4 love as bright as summer day,
Or shining sun above.
And when within the handsome gift
Her fair form she doth slide,
pray her thoughts may eager drift
TO when she III be my bride.
IL is no jewei rare bring,
From Africa's distant mine
IL will not to the finger cling,
But to tho form divine.
And oh, pray that you may wear
IL many, inunv years,
And that its bosom fair may neer
BE stained by falling tears.
Encased in this no wlntry blast {
Can chill my darling's form, ,
