INSCRIBED TO “OUR MODERN MERRY MEN.” A Miner named Griswold and a certain Goldsmith familiarly known as “Jay Charl- ton,” were one evening Holden an animated conversation about the relative sizes of Brooks, creeks and rivers. “ When Weaver younger,” said Jay, ‘a creek was a big stream in our eyes, with its waters dancing in the sunlight, as clear as Chrystal.” ‘ Yes,” responded his friend, “and once when I went to help my brother Danbury his little pet rabbit (that had tickled itself to death by eating a copy of Puck instead of a cabbage-leaf ), we crossed a very pretty stream, and I thought I never saw anything Lukens so bright and sparkling, But let’s change the subject, and talk about some of our old chums.” “ Agreed,” said the Gold- smith, “Do you recollect the big time they had when Mr. Stevens of Mount Vernon Wade Whipple?” “ Don’t I! How can I ever for- get it? By George! he had no Catlin his drove-yard that were much heavier, although Whipple had only put on one of his Coates for that xpress occasion. Said he: “ You may try to play some Munkittrick on me, but I'd have to be Fuller than 1 am now before you'd succeed.” Oh, he was up to a Thwing or two, and though sometimes he Leidy never got into any court trouble but his neighbors would cheerfully Ray’s all tne Bailey needed. “B, Dadd,” exclaimed Charlton, you are right; but tell me, what's ever become of that Small chap, who used to hang around Wythe- ville? I see none of the Richmond papers State anything about him.” “Oh, he’s gone down to Atlanta to Harris a former acquaint. ance of mine, but whose strong Constitution, I think, will weather the attack, although he’s lately been very Sweet on some San Antonio girls.” “I don’t care a Ficayune/" interrupted the Goldsmith, ‘‘but did you ever see Nat Bur- bank any of his money?” ‘“ One Saturday Night 1 did,” replied Griswold. ‘He was with aman who had been Bagnall the hard- earned wages of a Turner's Falls Reporter and had made a Goodwin in Boston so the Post said; yet at the time I thought he'd have found a better Field in St. Louis.” “ But he might have met his Waterloo out there,” suggested Jay. “That's so!” echoed Griswold, ‘and then he'd have been a veritable ‘ knight of the Rewey-full countenance.’ Here the discourse lagged, each Deming he had said enough, and that it was about time to Gowanda after fresh information. As they parted, Jay remarked: “Things seem to be getting rather Lewis around Detroit, and some fellow's Sun is ina Peck of trouble at Milwaukee ‘Whitehall depends on the Times,” replied Griswold. “ Now, I know a runner for a Toledo Commer- cial agency who hasn't a single Burdette in six months.” ‘I'll Bob out after that; you can’t play your Riggs on me, nor throw any Stray Sand in my optics, my boy! _I’man old Zra- veller. Just ask Phillips Thompson "—and Charlton was gone [probably for a piece of P.I., as be cannot eat Bunner cake]. His friend Ralph says he’s always Meeker after a pastry lunch, Out in Chicago they Wood call this a patched-up Storey, but then those people wouldn’t even believe that our John’s-son is a Leader of society in Wheeling or that a Min- nesota Lumberman, after getting logged on Still-water, has sense enough to pay his Taylor bill.

Joaquin Mitier is making studies of the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, with a view of dramatizing it.— xchange. ‘Tuere is a tender charm about a long sum- mer day, a restful peace on the misty hills, a soft, maternal benison about the serene Indian summer; but for an ethereally beatific scene of nature, none of these can hold a candle to the expression of the modest young man who yes- terday, for the first time, rolled, in a new buggy, his initial baby down-town.— Louisville Courter- Journal. Puck wants to know “ what will be done with a Chinese baby born on board ship, if the full complement of fifteen is already on the list ?” A Kearneyite would suggest that it be thrown overboard and ‘‘rocked in the cradle of the deep "—which would be less cruel than to be “rocked” to death by hoodlums upon reaching San Francisco.—Norristown Herald, CAN CATARRIT BE CURED? it can, even the worst cases.
