A Composition.

The Mule, the Farmer and the Manufacturer
The mule is stronger than the man,
Though the mule is much stronger than the
man, the man manages the mule for his own
purposes. He puts bride on him, and a sad
die, and rides on his back. He puts harness,
made of leather, on the mule, and by speak.
ing to him aud giving him plenty of ticks,
induces him to walk and pull wagon, while
the man gets into the wagon and rides. The
mule does much hard work, but all the mon
ey gained by the mules work the man ap-
propriates to himself The mule lives rough
ly, is fed in trough and sleeps on the ground
on a little straw. The man eats at table
and sleeps in a warm bed. The mule is q
useful animal to the man.
The farmer is stronger than the manufac-
turer. Though the farmer is much stronger
than the manufacturer, the manufacturer
manages him for his own purpose. He puts
bride, called loyalty to party, in his mouth
and the saddle on his back and rides him
where he wills. He puts harness made oil
tariff on the farmer, and by making speeches
to him and giving him plenty of taffy induces
him to walk and draw fine carriage called
protection, while the manufacturer gets in
the carriage and rides at his ease. The far
mer docs much hard work, but all the money
gained by the farmers work the manufactur
er appropriates to himself. The farmer has
become poor and lives roughly on mortgag
ed farm, he eats plain food from delf and tin
plate and rejoices to pay hig hiduty on them
The manufacturer has become wealthy and
eats from fine china and silver-plate and
sleeps on downy bed. The farmer is very
useful to the manufacturer.
Moral: Those who do not use their brains
| for themselves must use their muscles fol
some one else.

Triumphant Stupidity.

A country schoolmstress had much trouble
with her pupils, and TO avoid it, made her ex-
amples placed before them of an explanative
character, or illustrative. The effect was of.
ten unexpected. In going over their usual
reading lesson, line was chosen by the lady
upon which to test the merits of the scholars.
The line read: "And he was man Of I'M
limited credit in business"
"Now, John, can you tell me what is meant
by the word credit when used as in this les
SOM"
Thus she addressed one of the stumbling.
blocks of the school.
II dunno, marm," said Johnny, looking
sheepishly.
You don't know ?" said the mistress
"Well, look here. Suppose your mother was
to come short of money at the latter part Of
the week and needed provisions, ETC., now
what would she dor"
She was satisfied that her illustration was
plain and awaited the correct reply, and il
came thus
"Well, marm," replied Johnny. II dunno
what she would do unless she pawned dad't
Sunday coat"
The subject was instantly dropped and the
teacher has lost all faith in that style of illus
tration.
Young LADY, heard some one kis'
you in the dark hall last night r Maid
"You got kissed, too" Young Lady-"Yes
but that's the young man to whom l am en-
gagged to be married. There is no harm il
that" Maid-"Im glad to hear it. He wal
the young man you heard kissing me in the
hall last night" Young lady faints.
