a quarterback came rushing bv
And tore from him an ear.
A 1uliback stopped him in a squirt,
Before he could dodge by,
And ere they separated there
Foor Tom had lost an eye.
And after one more sprint he was
OF his left arm bereft,
But eheerfully he murrnured: ssNaw
My good right arm is left.''
A centerrus'h approached him with:
your pardon. sir, beg -
And in the tuSSle for the ball go
He, pulled off Toms right leg.
Twas then his sweetheart said to him:

You are but half man.
And though pity you, indeed"
I1e charming creature said

For we can never wed"
Now, Tackle was a wise young man.
Enough have lost an ear
He said, =" Twill have a double charm

And though my left eyes gone to rest,
Yet 1T is very nice
For where I looked at you but once &C
I'll now look at you twice.
And znI though one arm is in its grave,

THE DYING YEAR.

The feast is over. the guests are fled;
1t is time to be old. it is time for bed.
The wind has blown out every light,
And the pleasure garden is turned to
blight;
The trees like pulled out candles stand,
And the smoke OF their darkness is over
the land.
Heavily hangs the drowsy head,
Heavily droop the lashes;
To bed, to bed! Let prayers be said,
And cover the fire with ashes.
How the pipers piped and the dancers.

AN UNJUST DEMAND
Made by Manufacturers Upon Jobbers
of Paints.

Philadelphia. Dec At a meeting of
the Philadelphia Paint club last night
the first step was taken in the direc-
ton of a general movement to resist
what IS considered an unjust demand
upon the JobberS Of paints and glass by
the window glass manufacturers It is
stated that notice has been served by
the manufacturers on all their custom
ers that if they expect to continue their
business relations they must agree not
to handle any fOreign-made glass unless
it is the output Of a factory for which
some member of the manufacturers
combination has the agency in the
United States The paint club decided
to at once set about enlistfng all or
CARNATIONS in the trade throughout the
United States in an effort against what
the members regard as a most unjust
demand. It is hoped by correspondence,
petition and assistance Of other COM
nereiaI organizations to crystallizs the
sentiment Of the country in the direc-
ton Of a revision of the tariff on more
equitable lines.

dering about surrounded by ghosts and
goblins inebriated, naked and with dishev-
eled hair, covered with the ashes of fu-

and bones. sometimes laughing and seme-
scented with a hideous and a terrible counte-
nance streaming with blood. encircled with
snakes. hung round with skulls and human
heads. and in all respects resembling
pleasure which silva and Dew feel Is when
their affairs are drenched with blood, which,

destruction of some form of life.
