A Serious Question.

What makes people laugh? IT'S a mystery
great:
To solve it we struggle in vain.
We tell Of the apples that small johnny ate
And sing OF his subsequent pain
They describe his demise in a ocular way.
With phrases both fippant and pat.
And yet think 1t over and tell me- 1 pray.
Is there anything funny in that?
When Bridget. lass who is honest and
kind.
And willing and anxious to learn,
Endeavors to kindle the fire, but to find
That the fuel refuses to burn;
We laugh with merriment softly serene
When the house in ruin lies fiat,
And she's blown to the clouds cause she
tried kerosene.
Is there anything funny in that?

New York Democracy

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The platform adopted by the democracy
OF New York is quite long one, but 1t is
skillfully drawn. 1t is the result of the
handicraft Of experts. Platforms are con-
structed for the purpose of vote catching
and become apocryphal after the vote is
counted: but the ingenuity displayed in pre-
pairing them is always interesting
