THANKSGIVING PIE.

II. Jinkins used to mention to MS deal
devoted mate
How the pie his mother made him WIS
the best be ever ate,
And of how, at gay Thanksgiving, in tire
merry days gone by
The delight of his young bosom was his
mothers luscious pie.
Mrs. Jinkins tried to please him. and all
sorts of pains did take,
But her pie was not as tempting IS his
=, ~ mother used to make,
And he only minced and nibbled, while
in vain his wife did try
To concoct as good pastry as his moth
er's famous pie.
Just to eat piece of pie with all tht
long remembered charm,
He returned, one bright Thanksgiving
to the old New England farm.
And his heart was filled with rapture
and his spirits mounted high
As he puckered up his visage for his boy
hoods famous pie.
But be found himself unable his Thanks
e. giving to enjoy
With the same decided relish that he useC
-- - TO when a boy.
And he left the feast half eaten, and ad
mitted with a sigh,
That the change was in his appetite, ana
wasn't in the pie.
He discovered that the pleasure of thj
great Thanksgiving fete
Didn't hinge, the way it used to, upon
the things he ate,
And he couldn't leave the table with tht
same contented sigh
With his spirit full of rapture and his
stomach full of pie.

WHEN THE RAIN PATTERs DOWN.

The world looks dark and dismal.
When it rains.
Your troubles seem abysmal,
When il rains.
Your friends all want to borrow,
And you don't care if tomorrow
Never comes to end your sorrow,
When il rains.
You lose your best umbrella,
When it rains.
And you have a row with Ella.
When it rains.
Perhaps her name is Mollie.
Lucy, Fannie, Esther, Dolly,
But she'll make you melancholy.
When it rains.
Life seems hardly worth the living,
When it rains.
Men are cold and unforgiving.
When it rains.
And the women-Holy Moses,
How they sneeze and rub their noses.
For the time of all their woes is
When il rains.

There can be no question of the
curative powers of electricity Judging
by the extraordinary cases of cure as
performed by the Drs. Darrin in

the wonderful curative power of the

eases in which the ordinary drug
treatment is either harmful or use

ton of their cures enforced a we'll

If the legislature every gets over
its fillabustering, there are many
measures it might pass that would
benefit the people. We would like
to see it approprite about $4,000
towards improving the grounds, pur-
chasing library, and erecting head
quarters for winter drill, at the West
Virginia University. This institu-
ton is growing in reputation. It's
capacity is somewhat taxed, howev-
er, and an appropriation from the
legislature, improving the grounds
and buildings, would not only be
right and Just, but would infuse new
vigor into the already efficient man
agement, and bring it more promi-
nently before the country. If the
legislature will spend the peoples
money, let, at least, get some benefit
from it.

zen of the town made the slightest
effort to trace or apprehend his muir

Now, we think it is time to call a
halt. Justice demands it, humanity
will have it. If President Harrison
will adopt firm but patriotic policy
in this matter, netting out punish
ment with no gloved hand, following
the spirit Of the constitution and the
voice Of the law, these dark occur
rences will forever cease. He should
not be a partizan, but home, liberty
and life, are the things that are to
be considered, and they should be
guaranteed to every man in America,
who behaves himself, although the
heavens fall in enforcing them.
