METHUSELAH AND THAT ELIYIR.

Methuseah! Mcthuselah
I'm weeping for Methuselah
Wiener | chance his name 10 hear

Born meath most unlucky star,
lie never met with Brown-Sequanl
To live a. long as deathless Truth,
70 flourish i'm immortal youth,
To keen his health and bloom and bloom
Tntn that startling crack Of doom,
And thus to win a crown Of fame
That was Methuselah's end and aim.
But life is bu. narrow span,
He persisted a dsgrun.led man,
Remsrkng with his latcst sigh,
All me. do untimcly die'-
And hence | luckless call his star
He never met with Br0wn-sequardl
Methuselah ,Iethusclah
I'm weeping for Methuselah
I'm sure that when his end drew near,
lie babe his faithful nurse give ear;
And urged her ere he fel. forlorner
To seek the druggist on the corner,
And get him p. d. O. to mix her
4 gallon Of his best elixir.
And whom the nurs,. alas alack,
Came sobbing. empty-handed. hack,
Enchanting, Sir, you mustn't fret,
There's no elixir known-as yet"
Then With a moan. he mutiered, Surely
I'm doomed to perish prematuIely.
| hOped-eXcuse these foolish tears
To live through all the coming years,
To proudly live on hst'ry's page,
Wearing the champion belt for age;
But II so soon Pm to be done for
Why I'm che world was begun for !"
Thus did Methuselah remark.
As few away his vital spark;
And hence luchesS call his star
lie never met with Brown-Sequad!
III.
II he our Brown-Sequad had met,
Methuselah might be living yet;
Might hear whcne'er walk he took,
Methuselah, how young you looh;
Might walking matches win by day,
And lightly dance the night away;
Might all unchallengeI ever pass,
As Of the current Freshman class;
Might travel at the half-iarc rate
Reserved for "chdren under eight;
Might be a boy again, or maybe
A brand-new, bcauteous, bouncing baby.
And hence luckle,s call his star
lie never met our Brown-Sequard!
For Doctor Brown-scquar1, lofsooth,
Has found tho tabled font of youth;
lie did not find it springing high
Beneath some wtchng Southern sky
Where poor De Leon vainly tried
To find It TIL heartrhrOke he died
on no romantic, classic ground
The wondrous, tabled font was found
The Doctor found Il spr,nging up
Where blooms the guinea-pig and pup
LIES saving stream hcnceforth to pour
Is simply pigs and puppies gore!
And this the song the fountain sings.
"spurn not the day of smallest things
Methuselah Methuselah'
I'm weeping for Methuselahi
There's not the slightest use trow,
To weep for those who're living now;
The while we live we live so fast
our lives, Methuselah, seem 10 last
As long as yours did-fOr. you know,
Life I'm your day was awful slow;
Resides. we'd scOrn to pluck away
The crown which decks your brow TO day,
And stay on here fore1ermOre
BY means Of pigs and puppies gore;
What Fate may send is calm endured,
And. anyhow, we're all Insured.
March ever on IN IIistory's van,
Times ne plus ultra eldest man,
You might be older than you are
II you had met with Brown sequaId.
You missed him; 30, with pity true,
Mcihuselah. ! weep Dr you,
weep for You.

Mansfield has booked Richard III for a run
of thirty weeks in the United States next
season.
Mrs. Langtry is negotiating with Henry

While ". Il Crane, the comedian, was
standing il front of a Pittsburg hotel the
other evening rather dilapidated looking
individual, under the influence of nose paint,
approached him and said: ''Can yer give
(hic) a man a dime to (hic) get er drink" The
comedian replied, with a sardonic smile,
Look here, how do know but what you'll
go and buy bread for it if dido" This was
too much for the inebriate, and with look
of disgust he asked Crane if he took him for
an ass, and walked away.
Clara Morris gave the ParnelI fund bene-
fit before she broke down in st. Louis, which
Melted $500.
Mr.. Abbey announces that his contract
with Mrs. Potter, by mutual consent will
not be renewed. 1t expires in June. He has

financial responsibility next season. Kyrle
Bellew may be interested with her in the
scheme.
Grace Hawthorne, who has never been on
the stage in New York, has decided to try
her luck there next November, opening in a

Miss Hall has, to use the stage vernacular,

wide and hopeful superstition, Mr.. Wilke
seems to be in demand among comic opera
managers
Nine. Patti did not take her jewels to

There is a new company in process of for

who have ever had anything to do with the
stage. Every one in Chicago knows him,
and many are conversant with his efforts to
elevate the profession. For nearly half
century he has been connected with the stage,
and has been the personal friend OF many OF
the most noted actors and actresses.
Mr.. McVicker was born in New York In
