To a promising young robber, the lieu

This dreadful piece of news will pain

! They are the most remunerat tive Gus
toners I know;
For many, many years they've kept

sipid neighborhood
Have nothing 10 confess, they're SO
ridiculously good;
And if you marry any one respectable
at all,
why, you'll reform, and what will then
become of Father Paul?'
The worthy priest, he up and drew
his eowl upon the crown;
And started off in haste to tell the
news to Robber Brown;
To tell him how his daughter, who now
was for marriage fit
Had winked upon a sorter, who re-
ciprocated it.
Good Robber Brown, he muffled up his
anger pretty well.
He said, II have a notion, and that
notion / will tell;
I will nab this gay young sorter, ter
rify him into fits.
And get my gentle wife to chop him
into little bits.

Though a girl may fondly love a living

A feeling of digust upon her senses

When she looks upon his body chop

He traced that gallant sorter to a still
suburban square;
He watched his opportunity and seized
him unaware:
He took life-preserver and he hit him
on the head,
And Mrs. Brown dissected him before
she went to bed.
And pretty little Alice grew more set
tied in her mind,
She nevermore was guilty of a weak
ness of the kind,
Until at length good Robber Brown
bestowed her pretty hand
On the promising young robber, the
lieutenant of his band.

Bishop Niles, of New Hampshire, had
singular experience while attending
the recent Episcopal convention in
Boston. The bishop who is very tall
heavy man, was seated on one of the
low settees in the public garden and
when he started TO get up found that he
had great difficulty in regaining his
feet While in the midst of his strug-
giles a wee tot of little girl came along
and offered her assistance. The bis
hop ceased trying to rise, and, after
surveying the little girl critically, re-
pied that she was too small to help.
The little girl persisted that she could
help, but the bishop was just as sure
that she could not. Well said the
little girl finally, I've helped grandpa
lots of times when he was lots drunken
than you are"

GENTLE ALICE BROWN.

Tt was a robbers daughter, and her
name was Alice Brown.
Her father was the terror of a snail
Italian town;
Her mother was a foolish, weak, but
amiable old thing;
But it isn't of her parents that Tn
going for to sing.
AS Alice was a-sitting at her window
sill one day,
A beautiful young gentleman he chanc-
ed to pass that way;
She cast her eyes upon him, and he
looked so good and true,
That she thought, 81 could be happy
with q gentleman like you!"
And every morning passed her house
that cream of gentlemen,
She knew she might expect him at a
quarter unto ten,
A sorter in the custom-house, it was
his daily road
CThe custom-house was fifteen minutes
walk from her abode).
But Alice was a pious girl, who knew
it wasn't wise
To look at strange young sorters with
expressive purple eyes;
So sought the village priest to whom
her famlly confessed,
The priest to whom their little sins
were carefully assessed.
"Oh, holy father" Alice said, at would
grieve you, would it not?
To discover that I was most disrep-
utable lot!
OF all unhappy sinners I'm the most
unhappy one:"
The padre said, Whatever have you
been and gone and done?'
'I have helped mamma to steal a little
kiddy from it's dad,
I've assisted dear papa in cutting up
a little lad.
I've planned a little burglary and forg-
ed a little check,
And slain a little baby for the coral
on it's neck!"
The worthy pastor heaved sigh, and
dropped silent tear
And said, You mustn't Judge your
self too heavily. my dear
It's wrong to murder babies, little cor
ais for to fleece:
But sins like these one expiates at
half-a-crown apiece.
Girls will be girls-you're very young,
and Eighty in your mind
oIO neauS upon young shoulders we
must not expect to find:
We mustn't be too hard upon these lit
tie girlish tricks
Let's see-five crimes at half-a-crown
exactly twelve-and-six.'
'tOh, father little Alice cried, .'your
kindness makes me weep,
You do these little things for me SO
singularly cheap
Your thoughtful liberality I never can
forget:
But o there is another crime I haven't
mentioned yet!
"A. pleasant-looking gentleman. with
pretty purple eyes,
I've noticed at my window, as I've sat
a-catching flies;
He passes by it every day as certain
as can be
blush to say I've winked at him and
he has winked at me!''
For shame" said Father Paul, my
erring daughter, On my word
This is the most distressing news that
I have ever heard.
Why, naughty girl, your excellent papa

JAPs WILL RULE PACIFIC.
Portland Journal says:

The Portland Journal says:
Captain Mann of the British steam
ship Tottenham prophesies that in 10
years all the freight moving back and
forth between the Pacific coast and the
far east will be carried by steamers
flying the japanese flag.
During the war;" said the captain,
1.-The japanese captured in the neighbor-
hood of 80 tramp steamers, which they
intend keeping. In addition to this
large fleet they have putt many steam
ers in the past few months. Much OF
the material was purchased in Great
Britain and shipped to Japan where
tho construction work was DONE
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha line owns
100 steamers, Mitsui & Co. operate a
big fleet, and several other steamship
companies in Japan own number of
Dig freighters and are gradually adding
90 their fleet. The captured vessels
Rave been utilized by the government
as transports; they viii be disposed
Of to private corporation and pressed
into service.
Japan will be in a position to con-
troll the commerce of the Pacific con-
cluded the captain. THE japanese can
operate their steamers much more
cheaply than the Americans, British
or Germans, and for that reason it win
be impossible for US to compete with
them. While it is true that our Brit
ish steamers carry Chinese crews to
large extern, it is also well known
that we supply our men with much
more expensive food than do the own
ers OF the japanese steamers. Fur
thermore, we pay higher salaries to
our officers, and any way one looks
at it the JAPANESE have the best of it
so far as their ability to run their
ships on a cheap scale is concerned
One thing viii remain for US to do
and that Will be to get off the Pacific
and let the Japs have the trade
