PRETTY GIRL SWEAR OFF.

That I've done wrong my conscience tells;
Henceforth, while reason holds her seat,
I'll give up eating caramels
And never accept all ice-cream treat.
A kinder spirit 1 will show:
I'll call no girl "a spiteful cat;''
And when to see the play go
I'll never wear high-crowned hat.
When in q car this year ride,
And to the strap am forced to cling,
The seats all being occupied
Which is not an uncommon thing.
If some one says, "Take this seat, pray"
won't accept it with frown,
Or naughty stare. but smiling say.
Il thank you, SIR" as sit down.
In brief, this year, IL aim to be
From every petty failing free.

The impression that Democrats are
strongly opposed to the selection of Mr..
BLAINE as the chief cabinet minister is
a delusion Oh the part of Republican
papers. The logic of the situation is
BLAINE. He comes about as near to
enclosing the Republican party when
he buttons his coat as it was said Mr..
DOUGLAS did the Democratic party.
He represents its idea of centralism,
fostering of monopolies, and taxation of
the many for the benefit of the few. AS
the people have voted in the Republican
methods, the Democrats prefer to see
their most distinctive representatives
