was variety VI tlulnpery tnat was
valuable to the tramps, doubtless,
but would be thought unfit for hog
house here. There was child or
two strapped on each horse, or tied
into a bag with a lot of trolllc where
he rode as contentedly as in palace
car. The horses "baited' alongside
the road, while the bears danced and
howled, the men sang and the chill
dren and women picked up the pen
MES and other articles contributed.
1t was really comical and interest
ing sight and the best ragmuffin
show we ever saw.
They tell a pretty good story
about Had. Folsom's beef, which
may do to repeat. When the Arabs
were along here last Monday they
saw Had. and bought piece of
beef out of his cart to feed one of
the big bears. The meat was thrown
to the animal and his muzzle remov-
ed, when he fastened on to it with
his claws and teeth and undertook to
tear it in pieces; after long and
un effectual struggle, Bruin gave it
up in disgust and undertook to swal-
low it whole. 1t went down in some
fashion but soon came up, the stom-
ach refusing to hold it. 1t was
swallowed two or three times with
the same result. Finally i: was put
into the animals mouth and his muz-
zle slipped on and was doubtless
ground out in some way during the
day. Had's horse, which is very
knowing animal, was terribly disgust
ed with the whole show, and insisted
on running away, but did no serious
damage; he did not get over his
fright for two OF three days. On the
whole it was about an even thing be-
tween the butcher and Arabs.
&C. W." has sent us an original
home made poem with a kind note
stating that it is good, and request
ing that it appear in our next issue.
We do not know who sc. W." is,
but presume that he is some Charles
Wesley, friend of ours, and we
make haste to give his arti-
Gle in his style, lest he may be Of
Tended if we attempt to alter the pro-
duction, or delay the matter:
Fallen ere yet his summers was past
before the autumnal shadous fell
upon his brow; before thy moon did cast
her rays around with giant swell
The oceans swelling murmurs mark thy loss
the mountains quaked as thy death was tolled
and in some foreign land the church and mosque
draped in black the news were told
oh could the speeches. cry out from their graves
who bravely did fight under his
would but speak and tell us that he who saves
has written his name in books of fame
To other men noble rights were given
positions granted at their request
but a nobler pyrc smile from heaven
which seems to say thou hast done thy best
For our blessed union cause brave thou frought
thy majesty work lent from above
come to us now like long secret sought
as if borne on the wings of a dove
Twenty years have past since the bugle called
thy dying comrades to their task
but the memory of thy deeds enrolled
shine out the fulness of their fame
thine hand is cold thine eyes are forever closed
nay angel guards thy grave
sleep on upon thy tomb is left unguarded
till the trump sounds for all the brave
and when earth shall surrender all her gifts
in the hands of an advise one
to him may be crowned an immortal gift
for a brave work most nobly done
