ANOTHER ONE OF THEM.
A SATIRE.
By EDGAR WARE.

Now cut my buttons bless me, ev-
cry year,
1t seems, q Taylor 'mong us will
appear.
Men, 1t seems, of wisdom not bit :
Both OF equal standing, equal wit ;
Both of notoriety, free from fame ;
Both with a string of titles on the
name.
And now the present one to us ap-
pears
A man of reputation, young in
years.
And quite a talker, with a rafting
tongue,
Is old in knowledge, though in wis.
dom young.
Strings on his name, "The Boy
Philosopher
And holds himself to learned men
peer.
Seems confident, if he had moi
been born,
Men to this day had not of knowl-
edge worn.
Is glad to talk with every scribe he
meets,
That he may tell them of his manly
feats.
He advertises only on half price,
Demands a thousand copies as {
slice.
Talks with the editors, who as {
rule,
When he has gone, laugh at tn,
raving fool.
He speaks OF heaven with as littl
grace,
AS if it were very common place
Attempts hell and its natives to dc
scribe,
Till one would think he represent
the "tribe."
And when he speaks, picks for hi
audience
Those who can't tell bad from elO
quence.
And this he we'll knows, if he t
them speak
In high English phrases, tits bu
Greek.
You ask why he should speak
such crowd?-
To speak to "wise men," he is no
allowed.
And now they tell me, on the ave
He's speaking to a most disorderl
crew.
Men hear him, or turn cen the
heads to laugh:
Look at the goose, pronounce hi
speaking chaff,
And now to +, [ say without
jest,
For mercy sake good fellow Civ
us rest!
Now in another column you wi
fnd
A sample from the pen of. Brothe
Wind,
Who holds himself to learned me
a peer,
Strides with the title "Boy Philo
opher.'

THE MINIsTFR's SUGGESTION

The old maid sat in her rocking chair.
With thimble and scissors and thread.
And talked, as she sewed. of her neighbors
faults,
Till the minister wished he was dead
But he sat quite still. in his patient way,
And heard all her acid talk.
While she bounced on this one and then on
that.
Like vicious old hook beaksd hawk,
She sewed as she talked in vigorous way,
And pulled the thread through with s1erk;
Then she tried the scissors. but they were SO
dull
That she never could make them work.
These scissors are dreadfuuy duh, says she'
AS her sewing she apgrily flung
On chair and the minister murmured low
"Then why don't you use your tongue"

From Boston town to Gotham city,

Ny thoughts went wide OF Kent and Chitty.

Your pleadings and your briefs would bore
You'd bid good by TO all the courts, lyou
With such a noble head before you.
And while prayed that she would turn.
Ofa fair face fell to dreaming,

With her blue eyes upon me beaming,

ALIVE wITHA BROKEN NECK.-A Sdre
IN. " telegram says Miss Edith Phelps,
daughter of Mr. James Phelps, of this
town, who In common but uuprofessonal
phrase "broke her neck" few days ago,
bids fair to recover When Miss Edith at
tempted to raise window sash, which was
eaaght fast by ice that had gathered at the
sill, the obstruction suddenly gave way
permitting her head to fly back with a vio-
lent jerk that dislocated the verteblg of
the neck. Her head, no longer sustained
by the neck, dropped down on the right
shoulder.
The surgeon who was called to attend
her succeeded in reducing the dislocation,
and then adjusted around the neck stout
pasteboard collar, as it may be termed, as
an artificial support for the head in it's
natural position. 1t is believed that in the
course of months she will entirely recover,
without any deformiiy of the neck remain
ing. So far she has suffered no great pain.
Surgeons say that injuries of the nature
indicated, followed by perfect recovery
without deformity, are exceedingly rare.

To any one who understands charging, and

at 40, so or 60 dollars per month is saved, and
can give 1t to you to save trouble to you and
myself.
SECOND-To make things agree with all,
I propose to make the same rule work with
all. Country customers who purchase and pay
cash in the same ratio as the statement on
books. except. (this includes all pnrchases) 1
will not discount sugar when sold by the bar

portion over and above trade furnishe d; for
example: II purchase two dollars worth OF
butter and the party taxes out seven dollars
worth OF goods will discount him the 20 cents
on the dollars and so on as stated above.
Flour and sugar simple and alone will not
be discounted.

Democratic administration. 1t has been
