THE WA H HOME FROM THE
HUSkRNG BEE.
T. p. RYDER,


The huskin' bee wuz over ez the sun wul
goin down
In yaler blaze o'gloryjist behind the NAPLES
brown,
The gals wuz gittin' ready m the boys wul
standin' by
To hitch on whar they wanted to, or know
the reason why.
OF all the gals what set aroun' the pile oi
corn that day,
Advising off the rustln' husks ez ef twas
only play,
The pertest one of all the lot-'n they wuz
pooty, too
Wuz Zury Hess, whose lafiin' eyes woud look
ye through and through.
Now it happened little Zury found red ear
in the pile
Afore we finished huskin', n We orter seen
her smile,
Fur, O. course, she he'd the priverlege, eff she
wud only dare,
To choose the feller she liked best N kiss him
then n there.
My! how we puckered up our lips N tried 10
look our best.
Each Teller wished he d be the one picked
out from all the rest.
Till Zury, arter hangin' back leetle spell or
so,
Got up N walked right over to the last one in
the row.
She jist reached down N fetched her lips on
to the oil white head

She looked so sweet OF Peter tho't an angel

A VIGOROUS KICK.
A Merchants Wife the Bone of Contention.
Denunciation.

A well known merchant who has been greatly
benefited by joys Vegetable Sarsaparila, desired
10 give it to his wife, who was very delicate, but
,ut of caution first consulted his physician, DR..
W. H. Griswold of $50 Market street. The doctor,
who is one of our leading practitioners objected,
saying he had never seen a sarsaparilla that did
not contain potash, which thinned the blood;
that his patient did not have any vitality to lose
and that what delicate people need is not de-
creased vitality, but more blood. He consented
when assured that joys Vegetable Sarsapariila
was directly opposed to the old mistaken blood
thinning idea of other sarsaparillas, and that on
the contrary by specific vegetable Alternatives it
stimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges-
ton, and repaired nutrition, hence created new
blood and was the very thing for feeble people.
The above explains the hundreds of cases in
which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down
people, have been built up by joys Vegetable
sarsaparilla after the potash sarsaparilas failed
its effects are creating sensation.-S r En-
zwiaer.

How Death Was Buried.

The Polish poet, Henryk Sierkiwisz,
is making a tour in the Tatra Moul-
tains, where he is collecting a store oi
legends, poems and proverbs from th'
GalicIan peasantry. Their stories about
death are curiously original. Here is one
of the most interesting of them: Once
on time farmer went from the Tatra
toward Nowvtarg, carrying with him his
axe and his borer. He had not gone far
before an o!d woman joined him and be-
gan to chatter. The farmer quickly rec
OgniZed that she was no other than Death,
who, in the legends of Polish Galicia, Is
always feminine (Ta Smleve). He was
naturally anxious to get rid of such a
dangerous fellow Traveller as soon as pos
sible. So he bored hole iu the ground
and said: "Look in here!' Death looked
in the hole, but could see nothing. "You
must creep into it,' said the peasant, "and
you will behold wonderful sight," So
Death went IN head-foremost, The peas
ant took advantage of the situation and
hsstened to fill up the hole. So Death
was buried. and he went on his way re-
joicirg. Nobody died in that whole dis
trict for many long years. At last Deaths
gravedigger became SO i'll and feeble with
age that he longed to get out OF the world
he could no longer enjoy. So he went to
Deaths grave, restored the Old woman tc
liberty, aud she gently put an end to hi:
pains.

The John Day Fossil Fields.

The first knowledge given to the world of
the extensive deposits in the region near
the John Day river was from the researches
of Prof. Thos. Condor, who, for several
years was stationed at The Dalles as pastor
of the Congregational church. His love of
geology as science was so intense that
nearly every summer he spent in the breaks
of the John Day and Crooked rivers, and
he would return laden with wealth which
he priced more highly than Croesus did his
lands and bays of gold. He had several
specimens of the mastodon, and one or two
very fine ones of the hyperion, or three-toed
horse. These he deposited in his cabinet,
an6 the student of geology could spend
hour after hour here and be amply rewarded
for his efforts. During this time he wrote
articles for Harpcr's IPeekiy and the local
press, and the reputation OF Eastern Oregon
became well knowr. Later on Mr.. Condor
went to Eugene City to accept professor
ship in the university. and he took his val
liable cabinet with him. The rich fields of
fossil remains where the Princeton students
spent several weeks during the past sum-
mer, were first discovered by him. and
the rich deposits classified in their geologi-
cal epOchs.
