the cradle to seek the scalp OF
his grandsire's enemy, an d
bringeth home in his carcass
the ammunition of his neigh

,'father-in-law, who ayengeth
the deed.
Yea, verify bis life is uncer-
tain, and he knows not the
hour that he may be jerked
hence.
He goeth forth on a jour-

back on a shutter shot.

let the cat out, and it taketh
nine doctors three davS to

He goeth forth in JOY and
gladness and coneth back in
scraps and fragments.
A cyclone hIOweth him into
the bosom of his neignhor's
wife. and his neighbours wife's
husband bloweth him into
Abraham's bosom before he

He emptleth a leniiohn of
