THE WHITE RUBBER GOAT.


Lord Byron looks with q naughty stare
Straight out from the shelf at me,
With the handsomest wave to his smooth
bisque hair
That an artist would care to see,
And the proudest curl to his silent lip,
And the coolest and loftiest smile,
With his head set back at a lordly tip
Der that collar of faring style.
And down in the corner OF that same shelf
As meek as goat might be,
A white rubber goat-ashamed of himself
Stands wabblng his beard at me.
A white rubber goat that happened to know
Has wonderful whistle somewhere
Concealed in the region that's hid below
The wealth of his rubber hair.
The white rubber goat is homely goat,
With eyes that are bloodshot ana red
And lumpy whiskers that hang from his throat
In bunch like beard of lead,
And the voice that he shrieks from his stomach
is shrill
And his figure is awkward and squat,
But ween that that white rubber goat will
fulfill
An errand which Byron cannot.
oh, Byron, look down with your cold, bisque
eye
And scorn the white goat if you will
You never can quiet my baby's cry
With that countenance naughty and chill.
This critic of art with her rosy fist
VIII pass you all scornfully by
For the goat whose red mouth into white has
been kissed
And whose voice is a squeeze Whistles cry.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.
The English Drummer Compared With His
Fellow Salesman Ia America.

The commercial traveller in England
is little different from his American
brother, pursuing the same line Of pol
icy in 'getting there SO far as securing
trade is concerned. His invariable rule,
however, is that his first price given to
q local merchant is his last and only
one There is no going i'll the morning
with an offer and then III the afternoon
with an extra inducement to make the
trade. This being the invariable rule, it
saves much labor and apprehension in
the mind Of the buyer that he has not
done so we'll as he could have done with
more diplomacy.
Everything is done for the comfort Of
the traveller, and at the hotels special
apartment called the commercial room
is set apart for his exclusive use, IN this
room smoking is prohibited until p.
H., q place being devoted to that pur-
nose at other times. The traveller takes
his meals in the commercial room, the

Selecting a College.

The wise parent, in trying to select a
college for his son, will ask first, not
where the most learned professors are
still less, of course, where the best base
ball team is, or where most sons of mil
lionaires congregate-but where the
tone of social life is purest and man
lest; where the young men behave nei-
Their as young monkeys nor as rakes,
where the conditions for complete moral
autonomy are most fully established.
At the same time he will ask what col
lege best understands its business,
which is to impart that culture, intel
lectual and moral, which is essential to
free manhood, and does not attempt to
forestall the university by dabbling in
professional knowledge or erudition.-
