Oh, fo- the honest, lithesome times

When Alan trolled his amorous rhymes
Aud Robin twanged his crafty bow
Wher Little John and Friar TucE
Jcaversed the greenwood tar and near,

Washed down with brown October beer
Beside their purliug sylvan rills,
What knew these yeomen, bold and free,
OF envious cares and grewsome ills
I ha5 now, sweet friend, vex you and

Theirs but TO roam the leafy glade,
EeshrewJg sheriffs, lords and priests

Regaling monarchs win their feasts

When there IS such a trirsG for gold
Tha, poets fashion all their rhymes,
Like varlet tradegfolk. to be sold
MOI so did Alan whei he trolPd
His ballads in thai merry glade
Nay, in chose courteous days of old
The minstrel spurned the tricks of trade !!
So, joyous Friend, when you and

Let's do as do the birds that fly
Careless DER woodland, wold and

Sing Natures song, untouched of art
Sing of the forest, brook and plain
And, hearing it, each human heart
Will vibrate with tho sweet refrain.

A Dish of "CrOw."
Memphis Agalanche. Sent. Stb.

Memphis Avalanche, Sept. Sth.
We we're sorry to have our es-
teemed correspondent, McRoberts,
intimate in yesterdays AUGlanche
that Notwithstanding the evidences
of liking crow, furnished by the
AUatdnche, there are still some peO-
pie who do not believe that the
AUalGaChe enjoys 1t.
1t rather likes it. 1t is willing to
admit, however, that crow is an ac-
quired taste. We do not believe
that any human being ever ate his
first dish with the zest aud relish
of gourmet engaged upon terra
pin and Burgundy. But acquired
tastes are precisely those which
furnish the true gourmet with tue
most delightful hours at table.
There are many persons who lose
precious time learning to like the
delicious oyster. Some people new
er do learn to enjoy shrimp and
crawfsh. ThOse who do fiud them
delicious. Even the crab is not
10 the tasteSOf every man at first,
although We have no doubt that
that even the fiddler crab will by
and by figure on bills offare. Cav
iare, Limburger cheese with onions
and many toothsome and eupeptic
viauds are only enjoyed after due
cultivation of the wild, natural
taste, which is just as much as no
taste at all as the natural crab ap.
Pile in its wild, uncultivated state
OF nature, is 10 apple at all.
A taste for crow falls under the
head of cultivated tastes. We
have eaten a great deal of it. We
have spent years learning to like it.
1t is good. Try it.
But suppose we don't like crow :
Isn't it unreasonable to require
more of us than to make a square
meal of it, to digest 1t well and to
preserve good health uuder it.
Pistol didn't like to eat the leek,
but he ate it-when he had to.
And what more can be required of

he stands at the stake without
writhing or moving a muscle, than

Last Monday Frank Smith returned
to Postville, Iowa, where he has been
engaged as principal of the High School
for number of years. He has been
visiting friends here for few days,
attending to some business connected
with his fathers estate.
Dick Wehrle is home from the Nor
NAL and will remain until August.
Dan. Loomis and MERIT Wagner
have located claims for themselves in
Weld County, Colorado. Dan writes
back that in less than month after he
had taken his claim railroad was sur
veyed across one corner of it, and be-
fore another year rolls around the cars
will be running past his door. Big
Springs, Nebraska, has been their near
est town and postofiice and is thirty
five miles away, but the country is settl-
ing up fast and now would be good
time to come there.
The mercury stood 1862 in the shade
with us Tuesday afternoon. That was
about hot enough for one to cry for a
little GOODNESS.
A. B. Campbell was reelected school
treasurer for another three years. The
votes stood about equal for him and fol
David Farris.
Mr.. Loomis has sent off for new
circular saw to be placed in the mill
and its arrival is looked for every day
He will be ready to go to saving wher
