The History of Famous Jingle.

The History OF Famous Jingle
Not alone the good works of litera-
ture survive in memory and bring tame
to their authors. Sometimes bit of
foolish rhyme, if it have musical metre
or an alliterative jingle. will become
known to more people and remain i'll
the popular memory for more years
than the cleverest work of poet lau-
reate. More than quarter OF cen
fury ago the famous punch, brothers,
punch punch with care etc, made its
appearance in the New York Tribune
and it is still of sufficient interest to ex
cite spirited controversy as to who
was its author To Mark Twain has
been most frequently attributed this
clever bit of verse. but it has been clear
" established that he had nothing to do
, with it. Noah Brooks, from his sea
side home in Castine, has made known
| the true history of the jingle IN a letter
to the New York sun as follows:
The late Isaac II. Bromley and my
self chums and intimate companions,
were acc lstomed to ride downtown
| from our dining club in one of the
| Fourth avenue line of horse cars every
evening to our nightly toll. Bromley
was a member of the Tribune editorial
| staff and | was similarly engaged on
| the Times. One evening while | was
| DOING in corner of the car, my chum
surprised me by eXclaimlng: Its
poetry. bv George. Brooks, it's poet

| enthusiasm, | asked where he saw poet
~. Pointing to the printed lnstruc-
| tons to conductors, posted over one OF
the windows of the car, Bromley said:
"Why, don't you see. The lines are all
of the same length and all begin with
| capital letter. Doesn't that make poet
ry:'
There was no resisting this argument
and we began to polish the poem at
once. One of us, feeling that there was
a sense of incompleteness about the
rhyme, supplied the closing line "All in
i the presence of the passinjare, which
gave completeness and roundness to the
! whole. So then it ran:
J The conductor, when he receives a
fare
Will punch in the presence of the pas
sinjare,
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
| A buff trip slip for slx-cent fare,
| A pink trip slip for three-cent fare,

The chorus, Punch, boys, punch!

W. c. Wyckoff, the scientific editor OF
| the Tribune, assisted by the late MAJOR
NJ. p. Handy,
SO much for the humble origin of a
jingle which in its own time was on
every tongue in the land, and upon
which in later years magazine articles
were written and numerous newspaper

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Gossip is civilized assassination.
Where there is will there is way
to break it.
AS long as two people are lovers they
are children.
Company should be mighty careful
about the men who keep it.
An optimist is man who has a rain
bow in the place where brains ought to
be.
Politics is nearly as respectable as
burglary, but the rewards are less per-
manent.
1t makes a girl blush to think of the
some day.
In the horse race of life every man
plays himself for the favorte and tears
up his ticket at the finish.
While widow is pretending to learn
things from man she teaches him
more than he ever knew in his whole
life.
Married people should be as careful
to pull down the curtains when they
are making up as when they are quar-
reling.
If a lover of buxom maiden could
sit down in cold blood and study the
shape of her fat mother he might feel
different.
When two people who love each 9th
er quarrel there is no harm done; the
real trouble comes when they quarrel
and don't love.
The beauty about a rich wife is that
she can get as mad as hornet without
being called by her husband a shreW.
1t spoils woman's enjoyment of a
play not to be able to decide what kind
of ribbon the heroine must be wearing

THE OLD, OLD SONG.

| love the dear old songs to hear
That We're of home part,
The songs that die not on the ear,
But vibrate in the heart.
But they are gone who used to sing
The songs | thought divine,
And other voices cannot bring.
The thrill that then was mine.
The old, old song
How slow its memory dies
To it belong,
About it throng,
RemembranceS we prize
Lies changes come, we older grow,
The years have by us flown,
And old songs that we used to know
Have now mOurnful tone.
They carry with them days of old,
Each JOY with regret;
But happy loves of youth they hold,
And bid us not forget.
The old, old song
How slow its memory dies.
To it belong,
About it throng,
Remembrances we prize.

A Picture.
A sweep of sky, deep blue
And pure white snow upon frozen river ;
And ir-clad hills like sentinels, forever
Dark lined against the sky's bright hue.
A little sleepy hamlet, and Il ridge
Of wharf above the frozen water.
Beyond them, down the river further,
A bit of roadway and a bridge.
And silence all around
The broodine silence of Il dying winter,
When nature bends her ear to catch a
whisper
From springtime, stirring in the ground.
