The New "Ten Oommandments''

These are times OF progress,
prosperity and. confidence" you
know, and 8" n old fakes as the
Declaration of Independence, the
Monroe Hoctrine, and the U. S..
Constitution are not swift enough
for the Hannacrats. Some far
seeing prophet has anticipated
the great march of progress"
through the instrumentality of
Expansion" by force of arms,
and suggest the following as an
appropriate change in the Ten
Commandments to meet the
wishes Of the present day re-
publicans: viz:
Thou shalt have nosother
Gods before me and only
gold above me.
2.-Thou shalt not worship any
craven image except bank
notes.
3-Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain
but shall use it proftably to
SdHCUHy lily SreeU.
4.-Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy. On the sew
enth day thou shalt do no
labor, but thy man servant
and thy maid servant, thy
sweat shops and all that fills
thy purse must be kept GO
ing.
5.-Honor thy father and thy
mother but scOrn the fathers
OF thy country.
6.-Thou shalt not kill except to
extend trade.
Thou shalt not commit adul
terry but may enter entan-
Cling alliances.
|8.-Thou shalt not steal but
shalt annex.
9.-Thou shalt not bear false
witness, but censor the dis
patches.
1O.-Thou shalt not convet but
grab.

An ADVENTURE.


Three smart young men and three nice girls
All lovers true a steel
Decided, ina friendly way,
To spend the day awheel,
They started In the early morn
And nothing seemed amiss:
And when they reached the leafy lanes
Iass nney in. In like
They wandered BY the verdant dele,
Beside the Ripping rill,
The sun shone brightly all the while;
They heard the song birds trill.
They sped through many woodland glade.
The world was full of blisa:
And when they rested in the shade
beysat intwos likethis!
The sun went down and evening came,
a lot too so6n they said;
Too long they tarried on the way,
The clouds grow black o'erhead
Down dashed the raiDi They homeward hew,
It'll one unlucky miss
Slipped dsideways-Crash! Great Scotu
