The following cases were tried before His
Honor Judge Mediation yesterday:
City VS.. VIM. Souden and Thomas En-

fined $40 and costs each. An appeal was
taken in both cases. The above cause no
doubt will go to the Supreme Court, as it
is to test the right OF the city to stop per

because women always do as they

is always p%ersoni6ed by a woman's figure.

overestimates his own actions and boasts
Of his imagined greatness. This is applica.

A Little Summer All Shut in.

'Tis sweet TO have, when storms begin
To roam DER the earth so wide,
A little summer, all shut in
From the frozen world outside;
A little summer all our own,
From the days when the robins go.
TO the days when they come from warmer
zone,
And the pansies peep from the snow.
The rich may daily on dain.ies dine,
And daily on velvet tread.
But give 10 my home the thrilling vine,
And the blooming flowers instead;
A cheerful wife in Il sunny room,
Who sings as she fits about;
What care i, then, with the plants in bloom
For the wintry winds without.
How sweet it comes from the cons tant din
of lfc's contending tide.
To my little summer, all shut in,
From the frozen world outside:
To watch the bright geraniums grow,
From the bud to the open flower,
while the outer world lies under the snow,
And bound by the Ice kings power.
The poet sings of the better land,
Where flowers immortal bloom"
And SO can partly understand
The gl0rieS beyond the tomb.
How sad and dreary the earth would be,
Through all OF the weary hours,
Had God not given to you and me
The beautiful birds and flowers.

Who has a question she puts to me,
Whenever close to my side she comes,
Or into my lap, where she loves to be.
(which do you like best?' says the little
maid,
Her face with comical burrows lined,
'Summsr or winlcr?' and then she waits
70 give me il chance to make up my mind
If "Summer" | answer, she pincbes me we'll
You wouldn't believe that she had such
might
And says, at each nip with her finger and
thumb,
"Skeeters! skeeters! oh. how they bite! ~
If"Winter" | say, she will double her fists
And pOmmel me well; and ut ever blow,
''SnOw balls! snow balls! - she cries aloud.
And laughs to find that she hurts me so.
'Tis pretty play and do not care
How thick the snow balls or "skeeters'
fall;
For love both summer and winter time,
But love my darling the best of all.
