WHAT THE MOON SAW.

A little blue eyed innocent
Out in the yards at play
Had chased, without a thought of wrong
A mother hen away.
Her father spoke in earnest tones,
And grave the words he said,
While she, sad for her thoughtlessness,
Went to her little bed,
Again at night she sought the yards,
Fearless Of ghosts or owls,
Where, upon porch or nest or tree,
Slumbered the precious fowls.
When they with terrifying noise
Flew out and off, all wild,
The master sought to know the cause
And met his painting child.
Gather, came to kiss the Aen,"
She said in her sweet way,
"And tell her 1 was sorry cause
scared her yesterday"
The father clasped her in his arms
In happiest embrace.
"And /, too, t" said the gentle moon,
81 kissed the dear, sweet face"

Cynical Sentiments to Its Uses and

Public sentiment is not unanimous in
regard to the healthfulness Of using to-
bacco Everybody who saw the body OF
a negro upon whom hogshead of to-
bacco fell from the third story of u New
Orleans warehouse conceded that to-
bacco taken in large quantities il in

Tobacco is said by some to have de-
moralizing effect. An Indiana man

his feet on the mat, never goes to church,
Is careless at his meals, gets burs in his
tail, goes with lower grade of dogs
and is beginning TO take an interest IN
politics.
A goat, it is we'll known, is fond OF
tobacco, but he freely gives away his
butts.
All kinds Of troubles and complica-

to cause tobacco blindness Still we
have never found any friends Of ours to
be afflicted with it when we have in
cautiously left choice cigar exposed IN
our vest pocket.
Ladies generally object to smoking,
but it takes an old smoker to get up on
his ear and howl four bladed adjectives
at the rufflan who is idiotic enough to
smoke bad tobacco. If woman's hus
band smokes, she should not put him
out, but let him down as easy as she
would n smoking lamp.
The smoker, on the other hand, has
many compensations. If he should be
shipwrecked ON cannibal island, he is
comforted by the thought that his body
will be respected. Tho cannibals don't
relish the flesh of man who chews OF
smokes.

perish there unaided and alone? No! just
as the waves rose around her rocky couch a
crab climbed up and seized her by the big toe.
A piercing shrek burst from her lips; the
crab had braved the crash of thunder and the
roaring of the pillows, but he turned pale.
His now nerveess grasp loosened, and he fell
back into the sea.

then she realized her peril. o, she could not

her.
