LIFE I NTO the glowing grate he gazed In silent meditation, Until her eyes the maiden raised And said: What's osculation 2” The lover slowly bent his head, And with some trepidation He kissed her on the lips and said: ‘* Sweet love, that’s osculation.”” Then, while her heart went pit-a-pat, Till she could almost hear it, She said: “+I thought it must be that, Or something pretty near it." — Toronto Mail. I Have succeeded to the chieftainship of the Tetons, and I | want to ask whether your nation and mine are to live on terms of friendly equality or whether you want strife and carnage ? I would like to remark that we will have war on tap for any marauding republican form of government that comes fooling around our Congressional district, while we will be on a peace footing toward a your people as long as they conduct themselves with due regard to the prejudices of civilization. Any deviation from this course of procedure will result in your being sent to the Tower'for the first offence and to two towers for the second. Please speak to your Secretary of the Interior and have him brace up the rations issued to my tribes so as to include an 125 occasional ham and a mackerel for Sunday.

Uncle Mose, of Austin, is not one of that kind. ‘I’se gwinter quit. I has to look up anodder place,” he said to his employer, John Ingle, a wealthy merchant. ‘* What's the matter with you, Uncle 2” “De bizness manager, Mr. White, has not kicked me in de las’ two mumfs. Not once has he lifted his foo" ag’in’ me.” ** I ordered him not to kick you again. I don’t allow anything of that kind in this establishment. I intend that nobody shall hurt your feelings, Uncle Mose." ‘ Ef I don't get no kicks I’se gwinter quit.” “Are you crazy? Do you want to be kicked and cuffed about?” ‘* Yes, sah, I does. Ebery time de bizness manager kicked me or cuffed my ears when he was mad, he got ashamed of hisself afterward and gub me a quarter.
