EdH :. TNpper IN June OitiiIo.
Many a castle I've built in Spain,
With nlrrets and dOmes that were passing fair
But the first wild storm of wind and rain
Has proved my castles were made of air.
Many a fleet have sent to sea,
Freighted with hopes and ambitions bright;
Mover ship has come back TO me,
Though I've watched for them long by day
and night
But sometimes think there will come day
When my heart fond wishes shall attain
When, walled and lowered In grand array,
Shall stand secure my castles in Spain.
And look TO see the sunsets glow,
As II reddens the ocean miles on miles,
Shine on the ships that sailed long ago
MS ships coming back from the Fortunate Isles.

No. 952.-An Unfortunate Pun.

A good Joke, compounded of humor and wit.
Is a thing 10 enjoy though ourselves may be nit;
But add TO the wit either malice or sneer,
Hearts are grieyed, friendships broken, as here
will appear.
At bright social gathering Of friends long ago,
One game was impromptu conundrums, and so
They sharpened their wits, and with canter and
mirth,
Each gave her conundrum for what II was worth.
In due course came the turn OF girl whose
flushed face
Proclaimed that some sort of a struggle took
place
Ere She conquered her scruples; her query re-
To the title belle should receive; II was stated
With an interrogation; four words, thirteen let
t.rs,
And seemed TO lack point in the midst Of its
betters,
Till the one 1t was aimed at detected the sting,
The point of the ingenious merciless thing;
For 10. twas her name audaciously fused
With that of the cosmetic she secretly used!
Her Spanish blood boiled, and TO her quondam
friend
Twas apparent their friendship had come to an
end.
Quick as thought she exclaimed, "do not judge
me so lily!
coupled your name with my favori,e lily
That seemed very plausible yet twas in vain,
And strangers they are, and will ever remain.
HAPPY THOUGHT.

reaching nome Nc proceeded 10 write out
what he considered the fastest song of
which he was capable The result of his
effort was gladly accepted by the publisher,
and to the poets surprise, seemed equally
to please the public. In short, it was this
song which first made the author famous
and the sale of 'Put Me in My Little Bed"
soon reached an enormous figure.
Among the favorite songs of our day are
some which have originated under pscu-
liarly curious circumstances. The faml-
lar "Peek-a-Boo," which has now been
worn nearly threadbare, was according TO
its author, Mr.. Scanlan, an inspiration Of
the moment. 1t was suggested by the
gsmbols of some children, who were play-
ing around the door where he was sitting.
idly picking out tunes upon an accordeop.
As the children peeped curiously into his
door, he began to say "Peek-a-Boo."
nodding his head at the same time. Un-
consciously the instrument played a few
notes tn suit what ne was saving. and the
idea Of new melody struck his fancy
He Immediately wrote off the chorus of
"Peek-a-Boo" upon an envelope, aud sd.
ded few stanzss afterwards, touching IN
the song at his lessure. The music came
spontaneously, and was far less difficult
than the fitting Of it with appropriate
words; but as it was by no means his first
experience, he was not long in getting il
into proper shspe.
1t was certainly happy inspiration for
Mr.. Seaman. This melody alone has net
ted him $4,000 in royalties, snd still
brings in comfortable income, as he re-
ceives six cents on each copy sold. Ithas,
with his numerous other compositions
made him fortune, in striking contrast
with such writers rs poor Stephen Foster
and John Howard Payne, whose best work
served only to enrich the publishers who
were 60 fortunate as to obtain their entire
control.

Tie Driving Park meeting IN this

promises TO be an event of more than
ordinary Importance. The purses
are the largest ever offered in this
section, and there will be more first
class talent assembled here in Oct,
than was ever brought together in
this section before. The management
has cultivated all the important
features of the modern fair to the
highest extent, and our fair will
eclipse any other meeting in Kentuc-
ky this season.
The first day, Oct. Bird, all our mer-
chants will close their stores and
turn out en-masse to give the Park a
grand send of. This is high com
pliment to the meeting and guaran-
tees Its worthiness. A taking feature
of the programme will be the chariot
races, when the sport that thrilled the
Romans will be served for our people
like glimpse into the Circus Maxi
