His rubber ONE had got mole,
In hunting TWO near by;
Before the camp-fire's glowing coal,
He held his THREE to dry.
A deep-voiced owl began TO FOUR,
The night grew chill and damp;
And far-off lynxes snarled and swore,
That they would FIVE the camp.
They SIX the point with rising ire,
on stump and SEVEN they wait,
Meanwhile the wind blows up the fire,
And scatters sparks and EIGHT
The cook loud MINES his dinner-horn-
The sound to men most dear;
But all those creatures forest-born,
Stink off, in shuddering fear.

IMPRACTICAL ARITHMETIC.
In a school in the Nutmeg State one day,
(And the nutmeg State is a very fine
State),
The teacher remarked: "There is need
to play.
As well as to work, to be strong and
great;
So. every day one-half OF the school
Shall be chosen by lot, in certain
way.
And given vacation from study and rule
For a while. while the others within
must stay.
Stand up in line, and each ninth one,
TIL a half dozen be chosen, may go
and run"
There were fifteen boys and fifteen girls,
And the girls were smart. as they al
WAYS are:
nd they put their heads together tine
noise
or their tongues could be heard, 1t is
said. AFFAIR.".
And so arranged it that every day,
when the half was chosen, with smile
and smirk.
The Girls were always the ones to play,
While the boys had always to stay
and work.
And the question IS. How was 1t DONE
That the boys had the work and the
girls the fun? PRUDENCE

T-pon the balcony ne stands,
And listens while the rival bands,
shrek melodies of many lands,
In most aggressive Key
The bulwark OF his party's power,
They look to him in this dread hour,
For shelter, as of mighty tower
OF ONE. TWO, THREE.
like thunder from the summer cloud,
ONE roars of cataract the crowd
Pours forth its welcome, deep and loud,
From full TWO thousand throats;
But while the eager masses sway,
And cheer at all he doesn't say.
The TOTAL shivers in dismay-
lie has mislaid his notes.
