o. pinching.bug! When life was young,
Ere love into my heart had sung,
fed whene'er heard your tune
And loathed you for your dismal Groom
AS buzzing round the lamp you hung!
Then, if into my hair you chung,
Or down my neck, in gambols, swung.
Forthwith fell into swoon,
0, pinching- bug!
But now-ah, me!--with altered tongue
bless the source from which you sprung;
For out beneath the summer moon
My dear and must stray and spoon,
While you are from the window flung,
o, pinching-bug!

A Song in June.

All the long, bright days of June,
Winds and waters AL in tune,
Silver clouds with golden lining,
Skies all radiant and shining,
Suns that set in crimson glory
Rich as pictures in the story
That we read. of fields Elysian
Which shall greet our raptured vision;
When no blight or change shall chill us,
And sweet harmc nies shall thrill us,
Earths most tender, perfect rhyme
Set to melody divine,
All glad voices joined together
Singing to the rare June weather.
Verdant hills and waving grasses,
Perfume on each breeze that passes,
Swinging censers incense laden,
Waited from The wales of Aideun,
Heart and spirit in sweet thrall.
With the June sky over all.
All, for just one little hour
Let me feel the magis power;
Let me summon from the past
All that was too sweet to last,
just to feel once more the glory
OF the sweet forgotten story.

Origin of the Winchester Rifle.

New Haven Palladium.
A pistol of.decidedly clumsy appear
ance, and with fully as much brass as
steel in it's eomposition, was left for a
few minutes at Klock' drug store, with
several other articles, by gentleman
who had some errands to do before
taking a horse car from the corner, and
who asked permission to temporarily
relieve himself. of the load. During his
absence several visitors in the store
handled the weapon, which, although
it was not loaded, did no damage. The
peculiar make was the subject for con-
lecture for some time, until the pistol
was shown tosa leading military man,
who Immediately recognized it as one OF
the Tyler Henry patent. '"This pistol
said he, "works on the same principle
as the Winchester magazine gun. OF
course many improvements have been
made since thispistol was manufactur-
ed, but the principal features are the
same. Thousands upon thousands of
dollars have been made from the inven-
tion, but the inventor received little
benefit from it. 'Thelate OFF. Winches-
ter began the shirt!business many years
ago on a very small scale, cutting out
the garments, which his wife and other
women put together. The business
gradually increased alntil Winchester
& Davies built for shirt manufacturing
the large factory on Court street. The
finn prospered, and when Tyler Henry
produced his magazine pistol, ne went
to Mr.. Winchester, as leading capi-
tafist and manufactured, and propos-
posed to sell him the pakent for $75,-
600, Mr.. Winchester Offered himsS So
coo, but the offer was refused. Henry
afterward offered to sell for $4,000
and Winchester offered him S25, 600.
No sale was made then. norsater vixen
the invention was offered for $40, O,OGO
to the capitalist, who thenreduced hds
figures to $4,000. Finally, Winches-
ter bought the patent, paying Henry,
think, only 81, 500. The first guns
were made on the moilel known as
1866. Other models have been made
since but all conform very nearly to
the original Henry model"

The associated press was formed il

The associated press was formed in
1853 by the daily papers of New York,
in order to distribute the telegraphic
news most expeditiously. Itgradually
extended to other cities, until now it
embraces every city of Importance.
The association has agents and re-
porters whose business it is to gather
the news and transmit it by telegraph
to all it's members. In this way all
members of the association receive the
aame news abont the same time. It
costs great deal of money to keepup
the organization, and each paper be-
longing to it must pay its share or for
felt the franchise.

Somebody to love!
Ii I only knew
Where somebody lived
That would love me too,
Somebody whose heart
Was warm and strong;
Somebody to watch me
And help me along
The journey of life,
And stand beside
My form at the altar,
And | d bride.
Somebody to love!
Ii | could but dare
To think of a lover.
My love to share,
To go with me
Adown the glade,
And through life's troubles
With me to wade;
Somebody to share
The bitter and sweet;
Somebody with smiles
My face to greet.
Somebody to love!
Ii on life's way
A lover beside my path
Would stray,
And drop in my ear
The tender word
OF love, like the whispering
OF a bird;
New life, new beauties
Would come to me,
And the bird of my heart
Would be set free.
