JUDGE —. ~~~" FOR RUTH. LITTLE nosegay I have brought Of old-time garden-posies ; With rosemary and rue to lend Demureness to the roses. ‘And deep within a pansy hides To whisper forth the tale Of love and thought—and bashfulness— SOME MAN of letters might have made money out of the corre- spondence of Horace Greeley recently burned at Chappaqua; but when a man has been dead fifteen or twenty years nobody recalls him except through a kick or a conflagration, WATCHES are worn by women more than ever before; or rather there is more than the usual supply in the jewelry-box, on the side-table, and among the articles unaccountably lost—for women never wear watches, except on those occasions when they forget to leave them behind. At which my own lips fail. Oh, gray-gowned ‘little lady mine, With downward eyes and lashes ; With pale-brown locks that only dare Be gold in smallest dashes ! You awe me into speech- lessness, You make me halt and stammer When I would be at best effect In rhetoric and grammar! My polished paraphrases fall But flatly on your ear; My most poetic sentiments You do not seem to hear. Would sudden boldness win you, Ruth? If I should bend and press A kiss upon your cheek—like this !— Would you at last soy yes? HUM OF THE COURT. GArRIvI, it is said, smokes continually and drinks beer by the gallon, Here, then, is your new Bismarck. WHEN EMIN gets back into his favorite bar- barism he will build defenses to keep out all intruding civilization. All that Emin asks: is to draw his salary and be let alone. A WESTERN PAPER describes at length the killing of a panther by a dude with a large- headed cane, This explains why there should be canes of that kind, but heaven alone can account for the dudes that carry them. WO EX-PREACHERS of Boston are now running gambling-houses in that city, The man who likes to break the bank will probably try them on because of their innocence, and it will be amusing to witness his astonishment. A CRUEL SURMISE. Mrs. Brextwoop—" Why doesn’t she open her mouth when she sings, T wonder?” Mr. BreNtWoop—"*I suppose she’s displaying all the throat she can afford to on the outside.” LORD SALISBURY was very indignant because he was refused admis- sion to the casino at Monte Carlo, and though profuse apologies were tendered he went off mad. These failures to recognize are very annoying. The proprietors of the casino might have had many of his pounds as easy as not. A WOMAN in Denver says she is tired of being kissed by men with pencils in their vest pockets, the trouble ev- idently being that the little weapons endanger her eyes. We don't know that that has anything to do with it, but they say her husband writes only with quills. ‘ALK about the Panama canal includes the proposition that all that is needed for its com- pletion is plenty of money and about ten years of time; and it is added that those who have in- vested and lost “have at least the satisfaction of knowing that they have put their shoulders to the wheel of the car of prog- ress.” People who want to in- vest will bear in mind this car of progress. How sweet it is to know that you have worn out your shoulder in the work of making the car of progress move, A REACTIVE KICK—1, oY —"Dere’s lyin’ Smookey, der fake blind Me kin sce’s well’s we kin,” A REACTIVE KICK—2.
