A KING COWHERD.

The king of Italy is one of the most
of monarchs, according to
E'Youngman's Magazine 3" and it is
said that he always carries with him
his simple and unassuming manners.
A short time ago he was enjoying a
country walk near Ruccarigo, and,
feeling very thirsty, he personally
asked a peasant woman, who was
milking a COW by her roadside cottage,
for a glass of milk.
81 can't give you this said the
woman, not knowing who it was that
addressed her, but if you will mind
the COW l will fetch you one from the
house"
The king joyousIy agreed, and
minded the cow until she came back
with the promised milk. When she
returned he asked her why no farm
hands were about.
They've all gone to catch glimpse
of the king" she answered
'Well, little mother, you can see
him now" replied the king, "and that,
too, without leaving your work"
At this she laughed, thinking this
democratic, simple garbed stranger
was trying to jest with her. The
king laughed, too, as he saw how she
deceived herself. Then, pressing a
coin into her hand for the milk, he
sauntered off.

Chicago, Dec. unable to find the
mayor of their town and with no
judge available from whom they
could secure an injunction, the citi-
zens Of Waukegan, H., yesterday af-
ternoon took matters into their own
hands, and with the aid Of the fire
plug and a line of hose, routed a gang
Of labOrers who were trying to lay
track on one of their streets. The
track was being placed by the Chica-
go and Milwaukee electric company
and the people objected.
A stream of water from the fire
hose was turned on the workmen, who
stood it for a few minutes and then
ran. The attorney of the railway
company came along, held his hand
and said Il demand peace" They
gave him water, and he was nearly
drowned before he could get out Of
reach Of the stream. The workmen
were then driven entirely out of the
street and last night pickets were
posted to keep the railroad company
from stealing a march and laying the
tracks. The matter will be fought
out in the courts Monday.

NO. this morning, sir 1 say
Colors seen by candle light
Will not look the same by day.
When the viols play'd their best.
Lamps above and laughs below,
Love me- sounded like a jest,
Fit for yes or fit for no
Call me false or cali me free,
Vow, whatever light my shine
No man on your face shall see
Any grief or change on mine.
Yet the sin is on Us both:
Time to dance is not to WOO:
Wooing light makes tickle troth.
Scorn Of me recoils on you.
Learn to win a lady's faith
Nobly, as the thing is high,
Bravely, as for life and death,
With loyal gravity.
Lead her from the festive boards.
Point her to the starry skies;
Guard her by your truthful words.
Pure from courtship's batteries.
By your truth she shall be true,
Ever true, as wives of yore;
And her yes" once said to you
Shall be yes for evermore.
