Enticing all the insects of the air
To come and singe their pretty vinglets there,
Those that are out butt hard against the panei

THE SMOKER IN HuNNEL

The sun is shut from sight
The shadows deeper grow,
Suddenly falls the night
or darkness like blow.
And. as through filmy mist
Blossom the clustering stars,
Midst viewless amethyst
Glow ember-tipped cigars.
Lit by the headlights glare,
The steam-wreaths, past the pane
Like clouds through moonlit air
Fly, aud are lost again.
Lo! from the waning dark
Dim shapes are slowly drawn,
And now each ruddy spark
Dies in the sudden dawn.

owes it to its coed name to take some steps for
the payment of its regular employees, without
undue delay A great and wealthy munich
paity ought to be able to see that its policemen.

The fact that the city is in quandary which
delays the passage of the appropriation is no
excuse for making the men who earn their
money 60 unpaid.

A Scheme to Make Coin That VIII Not
Fluctuate in Value.

The Mobile (Ala.) Register drags IN an evil
IDENTIFY suppositious wild Western exchange
to bear the burden of the following: "a new
coin would be well to take the place of the gold
and silver COINS now in use. Face one side
with silver, the other with gold, and then when
one side would go up the other would go down,
one exactly balancing the other. No fuetua-
tions in the market price of either metal could
affect the value. as they also go in opposite
directions. When gold would be in demand
pay with that side up. and if silver were
wanted turn it over. Then the two metals
would circulate together and neither drive the
other out either to be boarded or exported"

all angered that such mistakes should be made.
His yellow kids seemed to have tinge of gold
