The Captains Company.

An English journal tells an amusing
anecdote concerning a wealthy Irish lady
whose house is situated near garrison
town in Ireland. A few days ago she sent
an invitation to Captain A. to take tea
with her, saying that "the pleasure of
Captain As company is respectfully
requested, etc.
10 her astonishment she received by an
orderly the following note: ENLISTED men
John and Smith have been detailed to do
guard duty, but the remainder of Captain
As company accept with pleasure
Mrs Ms polite invitation"

What time the brazen sun offends the sky,

What time the brazen sun offends the sky,
She frets in heavy mockery of sleep
And feels for him in dreams as pillows creep
And clutch to reach a seashell dull and dry.
30 he In town would fain put business by
Her face is all the books his mind can keen.
And plans are webs where through her fin"
gers sweep.
The farof witch weaves every thought awry,
But with the evening dawns their real day,
For twilight steals about her like plea
And brings her lover speeding to her side
With fond demandings that are not denied,
And summer moonshine builds new Cathay,
Wherein they dream beside Il summer sea.

Everybody has neighbors whether they

your ncighbors have more time To spare

1t is surprising how liberal some people
are with that which belongs to others and
particularly in this respect. 1t is imma,
lerial whether your neighbors are of this
class or not and it matters but little If
they are source of pleasure or annoyance
to you, rs that is not the question under
consideration. You are to have some new
neighbors in the near future and their
names will be O'Dowd. They are to
visit this city in company with Mark

Some Republicans delight in making

they are willing to give up everything Ii
Is not often we find men 50 stupid or vim
dlctive For wisdom they can be compar-
I'd only to the suicide. If they cannot
have their own way in everything, they
will sacrifice themselves, their friends,
their State and the Nation itself. There
may be, as they claim, great principle at
stake, but their desire to secure office gives
the lie to their assertions. They had better
compromise in any way than to continue
this warfare 1t is true they may defeat
party rivals, but in doing so they defeat
themselves. No good can be gained bv
such course, and tho soouor it /, aban-
doned, the better We want peace in the
party, and we want success. Those who
labor from other motives had better retire
from the contest and allow their places to
be filed by men who have the good Of the
party at heart, and are ready to make per
sonu sacrifice for the cOuntry's prosperity.
