NATURAL GAS.
By OZIAs MIDSUMMER,

The mistress and Marthy were taking dcze;
The maid in the kitchen was mending her hose
The master was sleeping out under tree,
When Sarah AIMS Amos was bit by flea
That was looking about for q place where he
Could be boring for natural gas.
The flea struck vein that caused Amos to
spout,
It drew twenty ne of his corpuscles out;
Then tried Sarah Ann for mite of dessert
But carefully, SO the supply not to hurt
So Lit on the mouth of the dear little fIirt.
On the seat Of her natural gas
It punctured the surface it stuck in its drill,
But drew it out quickly, but n OF at it's Will /;
For the we'll was a gusher, and blew it in haste
From the hole it had dug in the powder and
paste,
1t got more than it wanted, more than taste
OF Miss Sarah AIMS natural gas.
The gas which escaped was a talk in a dream,
And had for its subject, its object and theme
The kisses OF divers and sundry young men
Which Sarah AIMS lips had kissed now and
then,
And seemed to lament that her Amos had been
Slow in drilling for natural gas.
The JOY of the maiden beamed bright as she
spake,
Her eyes were asleep, but her soul was awake
She thought that the hole which the little flea
bored
Was a kiss of her lover, her modest young lord,
She thought that at least she had got Amos
foored;
He was boring for natural gas.
A moment sly Amos regretted the day
The gas inclined insect had jumped in their way,
And then all his bashful declinings eschewed,
His lips to her lips he cemented and glued,
He fondled the beauty, her tiny ear chewed.
He was boring for natural gas.

A Sadly Afflicted Journalist,

William Ernest Henly, editor OF
SCOTS Observer, is one of the men
who have had literary greatness thrust
upon them, and he has paid fearful
physical price for his mental develop
ment. He began life as laborer, un-
conscious of Latent intellectual power,
IMMERSED in the primary elements of
education, and man of dissipated
habits. He met with terrible acct
dent, both lower limbs being crushed
beneath a boulder, and while at the
hospital for treatment met Robert
Louis Stevenson, who was also q pa
tlent at the institution.
Then commenced the mental exist
ence which has led him from the
stages of newspaper correspondent, art
editor, and magazine contributor to
the rank of poet. His limbs are still
completely paralyzed, and he does all
his work in an invalid chair, out Of
which towers his massive blonde head,
set on magnificent pair of shoulders.
His conversation is brilliant, and he
counts bis friends among the cleverest
and most brilliant literary men of Lon.

He was abject and terrified. Like \
whipped cur he crawled at my feet.
and begged for mercy. His mssrer
had hired him to do it with promise of
great reward. It had transpired that
my testimony before the jury would be
conclusive of Butterworth's guilt, and
Butterworth had taken this means to
get rid of me. In his great terror.
the poor accomplice made full con-
fession; and when he had told all I
released my grasp. He begged that I
would let him go; but I dared not
nv duty would not allow it. I rang
nv bell, and in time the hostler, who
slept in the Office, answered my sum-
mons. sent him for an officer, and at
length had the satisfaction of seeing
my prisoner led safely away.
On the following day tie carpet-bag
was taken before the Grand Jury and
the iron case examined by an expert
enced chemist, assisted by an old ar
morer from the arsenal. It was found
to contain illuminate of mercury.
mixed with bits of iron; and it was the
opinion of both the chemist and the
armorer that the power of the e1plo-
sive agent, had it been ignited as it
was placed, beneath my bed, would not
only have been sufficient to blow me to
atoms, but that it would also have lit
orally stripped and shivered to frag-
ments all of the house above it!
And single pull of that silken
string would have been sufficient to
this horrible end! And but for my
nervous waking-my incubus of fore
boding - the destroyer would have
come; the fatal cord would have been
touched, the mine sprung, and I should
have been launched into eternity as
upon the lightning's bolt!
And so Gabriel Butterworth did not
procure the destruction of my testi-
mony, but through that testimony the
Grand Jury found cause for indictment
of far graver character than had at
first been anticipated, and of those
graver charges he was convicted. Seth
Damon received back the full sum he
had intrusted to the false mans care
and shortly afterward I entered into
business with him, and to-day Seth
Damon and I are partners. Laban
Shaw came out from prison and went
to Idaho. I have not heard of him
since. Gabriel Butterworth did not
live to serve out his full term of sem

He Silenced the Crowd.

A number of persons we're talking

to have looked through the biggest n

of the powerful effect of the respective
telescopes.
At last quiet man said, mildly, Il
once looked through telescope. I
don't know as it was the largest in the

brought the moon so near that we
could see the man in it gesticulating
and crying out, Don't shoot! Don't
