But she wed scientific, and his tastes were quite
terrific
For various kinds OF insects, and for tcads and
other game;
And, instead OF plaques and pictures, rattlesnakcs
and DEMONSTRATIONS
He'd take into his sitting-room to ornament the
same.
Asa jealous decorator he preferred an alligator
To statue OF Minerva or bust of Henry Clay;
And you ought TO hear him talk awhile OF his
bouncing baby crocodile
That he played with in his parlor just TO while
the time away;
And his eobr, al capcllo, very charming fellow,
Through his dressing room and bedroom used TO
nonchalantly drift;
And an elephants probocis and two young rhin-
He presented to his children as fitting Christ.

burn are great sportsmen. Each is the
owner of pointer, the relative merits
of which they are frequently engaged
in discussing. The other day Kenna
said to Blackburn, lighting a fresh ci-
gar.
Joe, you may talk as much as you
like about your dog, but mine won't
go out with me when the cartridges
don't fit my gun" An audible smile
went around the room, and everybody
thought, "Well, for once, Blackburn
has been beaten at his own game"
The junior Senator, however, was
equal to the occasion. He looked at
Kenna for a minute, and then quietly
remarked: swell, Kenna, | admit
that your dog exhibits an intelligence
almost akin to reason; but ] don't
mind backing mine against him. |

another word Kenna took Blackburn's
arm and both disappeared in the di-
rection Of the Senate restaurant, fol-
lowed by the shouts of their friends.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE SUMMER soARoeR.

Together they had walked the fields
As mornings vail was drawn;
Had plucked, with dewy diamonds wet
The daffodil and violet,
And breathed their breath OF dawn.
She was a dainty city lass,
pallid lily fair;
But Austor through the flying weeks
Had blown the roses In her checks,
TO grace tho dimplcs there.
And he who by the maiden's side
Dame Natures sweets enjoys,
A hale and hearty country lad,
Whose brawny limbs were roughly clad
In rustic corduroys.
Each morn, this captivating miss
Ere their walk had b. un,
Attired herself In raimont new,
SO ravshingly sweet she drew
Warm kisses from the sun.
But he possessed no such supply
or complicated suits;
And save on sabbath day, he wore
The trousers OF the day before,
Stuffed In his creaking boots.
Between his puckered lips he blow
A lively roundelay;
And oil his nimble, whstling notes,
The warblers from their yellow threats
Caught up in trebles gay.
"Poor fellow. thought this fair coquetta
I'm drive his mirth away
And so she said =" I fear, my friend,
Our rambles all must have an an end,
Igo to town to-day
Good gracious" thought this maiden fair.
He shows no sign OF grief;
That look which glimmers TO the sight

Upon her checks a crimson hue,
And as she vanished from the view
