JEALOUSY IN THE CHOIR.

From the New Moon.
Silvery noted,
Lily-throated,
Starry-eyed and gonlen-haired,
Charming Anna,
The soprano,
All the singers hearts cnsnared.
Long the tenor
Sought to win her,
Sought to win her for his bride;
And the basso
Loved the lass go,
Day and night for her he sighed.
The demeanor
OF the tenor
To the basso frigid grew;
And the basso,
As he was SO
Mashed, OF course, grew frightened too.
Anna smiled on
Both, which piled on
To their mutual hatred fuel;
So, to win her,
Bass and tenor
Sworo they'd fight a vocal duel.
Shrieked the tenor
Like II Vennor
Cyclone bowling DER the plain;
Sang SO high
To outvie
The bass, he split his head in twain.
Crowded the basso
Till he was so
Low, to hear him was u treat;
Lower still he
Went until he
Split the soles of both his feet.
Charming Anna.
The soprano,
Mourned u week for both these fellows
Then she wee the
Man who fed the
Wind into the organ bellows.

PUCK.
Z She lie pretty as a fairy,
And her voice is soft and low,
And her chatter, light ana airy,
Like u babbling stream doth flow.
As she walks the long verandas
or our watering place hotel,
All the rustic Jane Amandas
Wish that they could be so swell,
And her presence is so sunny,
As she fits about the place,
You'd suppose the bees for honey
Would go hunting on her face.
And you'd think, if she'dinvite you
Just to call on her in town,
How Immensely 'twouldd delight you
That's
Mrs. Brown.
As your eyes in admiration
Trace her fitting here and there,
You are lost in admiration
Not unmlinsled with despair
Der the happiness unbounded
That the lucky Brown has got.
And you wish the chap COMPOUNDED
When you think what you have moi
Oh, she's very, very pretty
Yet. my friend, there's not II case
OF scandal, gossip witty
Or tho like, around the place,
Not a case OF wicked chatter.
When you come to sit, it down.
But you'll find that shes the matter
It's

skeptical About the Telegraph.

A Government surveyor engaged in
exploring some portions OF the public
domain had for his guide an Indian
named Black Beaver. Beaver had visit
ed st. Louis andthe towns on the
Missourifrontier, andheplidedhimself
no less upon his acquaintance with the
customs OF the whites than upon his
knowledge of the country her being
traversed. He never seemed more
happy than when an opportunity was
offered for him to show his superior
knowledge in presence OF his own peo-
pie. The following. from the journal
of the official, shows varying degrees
of credulity among the natives:
1t so happened; upon one occasion,
that l had aComancheg guide who biv-
ouacked at the same fire with Bea-
yer. On visiting them one evening, l
found them engaged in a very earnest,
and apparently not very amiable,
conversation. On inquiring the cause
OF this, Beaver answered.

what / seen 'mong the white folks"
"Well, Beaver, what did you tell
him?"
81 tell him bout the steamboats,,
and the railroads, and the heap O.
houses | seen in st. Louis"
"Well, what does he think OF that?:"
"He says PIE heap fool"
"What else did you tellhim about?'
II tell him the world is round, but
he keep all C time say, Hush, you
fool! Do you s'pose I'ze child9
Haven't / got eyes? Can't / see the
prairie? You call him round? He
say, too, Maybe SO l tell you some
think you do not know before. One
time my grandfather he make long
journey that way pointing to the
west). When he get on big mountain,
he seen heap water on t'othe1 side,
just us flat he can be, and he seer the
sun go straight down ont'other side.'
l then tell him all these rivers he seen,
all e time the water he run; s'poset the
world fiat, the water he stand still.
Maybe SO he not believe me?"
l told Beaver it certainly looked
very much like that. l then asked
him to explain to the Comanche the
magnetic telegraph. He looked at me
earnestly, and said
"What you call that magnetic tele-
graph?"
l said, "You have heard OF New
York and New Orleans?"
ooh yes" he replied.

that, Beaver"
His countenance assumed a most
comical expression, but he made no
remark until | again requested him to
repeat what | had said to the Com.

No, captain, | not tell him that, for

Upon my assuring him that such
was the fact, and that had seen it,
he said,-

he's big fool, but he hollerpretty loud;

say 'Merican man he talk thousand

Elizabeth Cady Stanton has written
3 very sensible, open letter to Miss
Cleveland, as the first lady in the
land. 1t is high time that American
ladies should frown down the silly
French fashions that are knocking
OUT all American ideas of modesty,
decency and virtue.
The Queen does not consult her own
interests or those of her family when
she undertakes TO 'snubo popular
representatives. Her manifestations
of dislike for Gladstone have neither
strengthened her throne nor won for
her the good will OF the people. Tier
Majesty. seemingly reckless of the con-
sequences, extends her antipathy TO
the colleagues of the Premier in the
Cabinet. Mr. Charles Russell. the At
torney- General, was called TO receive
the homer of knighthood. On his visit
to buckingham Palace he was left stand
ing out IN the cold for about an hour.
when Her Majesty finally sent him
word that she was too 'fatigued' tn
see him, and that the ceremony Of
knighting him would have to be post
poned. Her Majesty thus foolishly
conducted herself 20 show Mr.. Russell
that she did not approve OF his liberal
views on the Home Rule question.
There is one thing certain, and it IS.
that MIR. Russell can better afford to
meet with the displsasnre of the Queen
than Her Majesty can afford to incur
the eamity of such as the attorney
general.
