A Ballad in &c"

A man with a marvellous mug
Rode out of Fort Scott on a nag
He carried a jug in a bag
And many and many a swig
Reposed in that corpulent jug
And a cob fitted in as a plug
AS snug as a snag in a bog.
The nag had a wigglety jig
Which churned up the jag in the jug
And along by its side went "a dog
Which jiggled along in "a jog
With a narrative shaggy and sag
Which he YEARLY, warily wug.
q! That jig, and that jog, and that jag
o! That jog, and that jag, and that jug.
The man shouted Whoa to the nag
Then took out the jug from the bag
Then took out the plug from the jug
And then from the jug took jag
y terrible, horrible jag
Which acted as quick as a drug.
lie shouted "Yip-yip" to the nag
And dug in his heels with dig
And the nag who would never renig
Sprang off with the speed of "a stag
Then the man with a marvellous mug
Began a VoCiferous brag-
Whoo-pee-Tm a bird on a crag
I'm "a thief and a wolf, and a thug
I'm bug-eater hunting u bug
/ can hold more than a kag
And l have Doodle ana swag
That says that my grave don't get dug
To the front with a yelp went the dog
And shouting "Yip-yip!' to the nag
Pell-mell with jug and the bag
Went the man with the marvellous mug,
And there in the road lay a hog
AS still as bum on u log.
Then down in pile went the nag
And the dog and the hog and the jug
And that was the end of the hog
And that was the end of the dog
And vain were his efforts to wag
The narrative previously wug
And timber and limp as rag
in a wad on his lug lay the nag.
and then the man with the marvellous
mug,
Rolled up like a cavalry flag
Done up like a family rug
Lay there with his head in the bag
and twenty feet off stood the jug
The opulent, COrpulent jug
Cnharmed, while the loyal cob plug
Held down what was left of the jag.
And this is the song of the jag
And the jug, and the jog, and the jig
And this is the song of the nag
OF the nag that would never renig
And the dog and the hog and the bag
song of the swag and the swig.

The giant neutrality-suspicious. line

An open trolley car, on which were
racked about 115 persons, got away from
the motorman Sunday near Fort Lee,
y. j., and dashed down Leonia hill.
Every person on the car was bruised,
but to the wonderment of all, only three
we're seriously hurt, and only one OF them
Is liable to die.
A wagon containing 26 young people
was struck by a trolley car Saturday
night near jamaica Long Island, and TWO
persons were killed and five others Sc
rlously injured. The merrymakers were
on their way to a dance, seated In a big
conveyance filled with straw. The drl-
yer saw the trolley car approaching, but
thought he had time to get across the
track. The car struck the rear or the
wagon and demolished it. The two young
men who were killed were seated on the
last seat. They were thrown high iPto
the air, one fell head first against a
vibrant and was killed instantly ana
the other had his skull fractured by
striking the macadam and lived only a
short time. -

Paris Exposition Prizes.

The, United States received more prizes AT
the ParisI Exposition than any other nation,
except France. The total was 1881. OF these
~ were grand prizes, 46 gold medals, 5Si sill
yer medals, AZ bronze medals, 20 honorable
mentions, and Il long list of gold, silver and
bronze medals for cOllaboratOrs. 1t is also u
remarkable:fact, that though the inhabitants
of every country suffer from digestive troub-
les, and though every CLINE offers some allie
viative therefrOm, it remains for America to
produce an absolutely reliable remedy for
such common diseases This remedy is Hos

it was placed upon the market, and from that

give us two railroad stations, and make

Recovery of the Stock Market.

The recovery of the stock market after
thursdays panic in Wall street was
sharp and decisive. Prices of stock went
up with a rush at the last, closing at
about the top, and with the net losses
left after Thursdays session, pretty
largely recovered. The agreement to
settle with the shorts in Northern Pa
cific at $50 was generally carried out
II was not necessary for the bank pool to
afford any further relief to the money
market as normal rates prevailed, and
The loans of the previous day were re-
laid. There were no failures on the
stock exchange.

Learning to Take People at Their Best

one of the greatest lessons In life is
to learn to take people at their best, not
their worst; to look for the divine, not
the human, in them; the beautiful, not
the ugly; the bright, not the dark; the
straight, not the crooked side. a habit
OF looking for the best in everybody, and
Of saying kindly instead Of unkindly
things about them, strengthens the char
acter, elevates the ideals and tends to
produce happiness. 1t also helps to create
friends. We like to be with those who
see the divine side of us, who see our
possibilities. who do not dwell upon the
Gark side of our life. but upon the bright
side. This is the Office of true friend,
to help us discover our noblest selves
success.
