MOORE"

PARODY OF THE "BuRIAL OF SIR JoHo
MOORE"
Not laugh was heard, nor joyous note
As our friend to the bridal we hurried
Not wit discharged bis farewell shot
At the bachelor just to be married.
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning,
Aud We sighed as we stood by the lamps
dim light,
To think he was no more discerning.
To think that bachelor, free and bright,
And shy Of the girls as we found him,
Should here by the altar, at dead OF night,
Be caught in the snare that bound him,
Few and short were the words we said
Though we heartily ate of the cakes;
Then escorted him home from that scene
Of dread,
And thought how awfly he shakes,
We thought as we followed his lowly bed,
OF the beech, the birch and the willow /;
How the shovel and broomstick would
break DER his head,
And the tears he would shed on his pill
low.
Slowly and sadly we marched down
From the top Of the uppermost story,
And we never have heard from, or seen
the poor man,
Whom we left not alone in his glory.

QUEER CHINESE CUSTOMS.
Death and Burial in the Celestial Empire
The Rights of widows.

When the Chinese wish 10 declare
the extreme vcxatiousncss Of any picco
OF work, they say; 1t Is more trouble
than u funcral;" the obscquics of u
parent being rcckoncd the most mad-
.dcning affair In human experience.
Infants are buried summarily, with
out collins, and the young arc inferred
with few rites; but the funerals OF the
aged, of both sexes, are elaborate in
proportion to the number OF tho de-
sccndants and TO their wealth. When u
childlcss married man dies, his widow
may perform all the duties Of u son
toward him, may remain in his house,
and may adopt children to rcnr as his
heirs and rs worshipcrs Of tho family
names. If his widow proposes mar
rying again, Il young male relative
may, with the consent of the senior
members of tho clan, undertake tho
services expected from II son, and may
inherit the estate Of the deceased
When one is about TO die, he is re-
moved from his couch TO IA bench or to
n mat on tho floor, because of II belief
that he who dies In bed will carry tho
bcdstcad rs Il burden into the other
world. He is washed In "a new pot, In
warm water In which bundle Of
incense-sticks is merged. After tho
washing, tho pot and the water are
thrown away together. He Is then ar
raycd In II full suit of new clothing,
that nc may appear in hadcs at his
best. He brcathcs his last In the main
room, before the largest door Of tho
house, that the departing soul may
easily find its way out into the air.
A sheet OF spirit-moncy, brown paper
having n patch of gliding on one sur
face, Is laid over the upturncd face,
because it is said that, if the eyes are
left uncovered, the corpse may count
the rows of tiles In the roof, and that
in such case tho family could never
build more spacious domicilc. -AdGto

was bowed IN thought, and she said:
"Wait until year has elapsed"
"Not bcfurcW

Their parting was simply IA friends.
Bertha looked very pretty in widows

he had reached the position of city editor on
ono of the largest and most widely known
dailics IN Chicago.
The year gone by, Allen wrote, and in duo
time received an answer, The correspond
cncc became regular, and at the end of an
other six months n leave of absence was
granted the ovCrworkcd city editor, who
hicd away 10 some place in Ohio,
Reaching Dayton, he hires IA carriage and
orders the driver 10 take him to Mile

He sprang from tho carriage. There
being no barrier TO check their natural i'm
pulses, heart met heart In one long raptur-
Gus embrace Claude came 90 shake tho
hand of his friend, and even Mile. Camille
could muster up sufficient English for de-
lightful conversation.
Allen was 50 long missing from his desk
that his associates began 10 wonder what
was the cause OF his protractcd absence.
The managing editor seemed 70 know tho
cause, though he kept his own counsel.
At last Allcn returned 20 his post, bright,
smiling and happy. Luke, who was now
associated with him on the same paper,
asked him great many questions in re-
gard 10 his visit, all Of which Allen cvadcd.
"A few days later. however, whom he met

from Toncy Barnes, accompanied by "A
poem for which he hoped Mr.. Gray would

items Of nows that Simmons and Strong

Even in death there was look Of fcndish
satisfaction upon his naughty face.
Calmly Allen went about the wreck, and,
hurriedly writing up the affair, took II 10 u
