wait a few days and see how near Gen.

As each season of the year matches ont
its brood OF poets, the time is at hand
for the production of odes to the "beau-
tiiul snow" the "ice-clad hills" and the
merry jingle OF bells upon the fiery
steeds that prance in front Of the COM
fortably robed sleighs. II is the time
when lovers talk OF love, and lay their
plans for the future, confident that no
clouds will ever o'ershawdow their path
way or trouble disturb ;heir dreams. A
prosy view OF the ways Of the fiedglings
who have thus emerged from their shells
would suggest more marked improve
ment in the saving in time, expense and
worry incident to the usual courtship
that results in marriage. Instead Of
botherirg the printer with badly con-
structed rhymes addressed 10 the eye
brows of those they admire, and annoy
ing the old folks by keeping them up at
unreasonable hours, thereby making Sc.
rious inroads into the coal pile aud es
tsblishing regulations for being always
on hand when not wanted. the spring
chicken might say TO his lady-love:
Nancy Francis Anne, | love you, and
have an insane desire to pay your board.
Say yes and well Immediately hitch in
louble harness and trot together the bal
ance OF our lives; at least until We get
down to the last quarter stretch
Whereupon Nancy Francis Anne would
turn her bew ildered pink eyes towards
those of her adored and with a don't

man says look, say: "Jeems Spriggins,
I'm yours !" and thus would end the
chapter.
The proposition to embody in the new
provision declaring equal
ly guilty and deserving OF punishment
the one who gives as well as the one
who receives bribe, would be some
what embarrassing to any one who had
in any way secured his election by the
use of money, when called upon to cast
his vote. Constitution-makers, howev-
er, would never be suspected OF doing
so disreputable as corrupting
the ballot and they will all no doubt ac-
quit themselves like men when call upon
10 vote. A mere declaration OF guilt
would amount to but little unless the
should provide the mode OF
the testimony necessary to
The members might spend
some time very proftably in finding a
solution of this question. 1t is not at all
probable that either the giver or receiv-
err of bribe will ever be called to testify |
in court of Justice against each other
and as they would doubtless be the sole
repositories OF their rascality, their secret
would begin and end with them.
The Aztec Indians, of Mexico are look

20 do with Messiah il one should come

III the crazy Indians, crazy negroes and
,razy white men, who are stretching
heir necks, straining their eyes and
wasting their time in looking for Mes
abs, could be put TO work in corn
ield or breaking rock on a turnpike,
ONE good might be accomplished in
urning multitude Of fools from their
ullies.
