Lieutenant Do Long.
Lieutenant Commander George W. De'
Lbng, the commander of the ill-fated Jean-
nette, was born in New York in 1844. He
entered the United States Naval academy at
Annapolis, was appointed acting midship-
man, October 1, 1861, and was graduated in
1865. After graduation he served four
years on the Canaudaigua, during which pe-
riod he was successively promoted to ensign
December 1, 1806; master, March 12, 1868;
and lieutenant, March 27, 1869. Subse-
quently he was transferred to the Lancaster,
at the time flag ship of the South Atlantic
aquardron. In 1871 he obtainéd leave of ab-
sence on account of ill-health and spent the
two following years in Europe, where he
married a daughter of Captain Wolten, who
was then living at Havre and interested in
theFi'ench line of steamers running to New
York. Lieutenant De Long was executive
officer of the school ship St. Mary’s, in New
York, from 1876 to 1878. Even in boyhood
he manifested an adventurous spirit, and in
1873, when the J uniata was sent, under the,
command of Captain D. L. Braihe, td search
for the Polaris, he was made navigator of
the expedition. While the Juuiata was at
Uppernavik, Greenland, he undertook the
perilous task of penetrating further north
in the steam launch Little J uniata, a craft
about thirty-five feet long. With a picked
crew, clad in seal skins and as ample a sup-
ply of provisions and coal as the little boat
could carry he set out. To follow the coast
of Melville Bay as far north as Cape York
was his object, but he found the passage ob-
structed by ice, and was forced to put back
several times. At length he found a chan-
nel through the ice and pressed on to Cape
York. On the fifth day out he encountered
a terrific Arctic gale, and for thirty hours
was threatened with destruction from both
waves and icebergs. The gale caving sub-
sided, he found himself in sight of Cape
York, which, though only eight miles away,
could not be reached on account of the ice.
His coal supply being half used up, he was
compelled to put back, and the day before
reaching Uppcrnavik he fell in with the mer
chantman Tig-ress,which had already rescued
Tyson’s party and was proceeding north to
search for ,Buddington’s camp at Littleton
island, De Long wished to be taken on board
the Tigress, but her captain would not con--
sent. 0n the return of the J uniata to the
United States De Long was the first to vol-
unteer for an Arctic cruise. Whan the Jean-
nette was purchased by Mr. James Gordon
Bennett for the Arctic expedition,Lieutenant
De Long was placed in command of her by
the navy department. He sailed from San
Francisco, July 8. 1879. ,

The fisheries of Maine are in excellent
condition, taking the statistics recently pub-
lished by Professor G. Brown Good, special
agent of the fishery investigation as author-
ity. The capital employed in sea fishing
exceeds three and a third million of dollars.
It is calculated that not less than 48,000 citi-
zens of Maine are dependent on this industry
for a .living. 'A very large proportion of
lobsters come from Maine, and in canning
these the state has almost the monopoly.
For 1880 the catch was 14,234,182 pounds,
of which 4,739,889 pounds were sold fresh
and 9,494,284 pounds were put up by twen-
ty-three canneries, situated in different parts
of the state. The Portland canners do not
restrict themselves, however, to the lobsters
caught on their own coast, butehad seven-
teen canneries in the British provinces and
during 1880 bought 20,588,578 pounds of
live lobsters from the provincial fishermen,
from which 2,198,024 cans of prepared lob-
sters were made. The _sardine industry is
one which has grown with great rapidity in
Maine. In the preparation of the herring,
to be transformed into sardines, it was in'
1875 that this industry first assumed large
proportions. In 1880 sardine makers found
emplOyméntfdr 1,500 fishermen, in addition
to 376 fishermen belonging to New Bruns-
wick. The capital dependent on this indus.
try was $480,000, turning out products worth
$825,000. ,

Monterey', California.
He who has stood upon the plains at Quito
iu - Equador, and experienced its lovely
climate, its magnificent seencry,—beholding
the lofty summits rearing their gigantic
structures far into heaven’s blue, as if they
were to kiss the morning dew, as their snow
cappcd' crowns reflected back from .hsir
’ bosoms the sunlight causing a panorama of
splendor that would hold the traveler in a
trance of delight; with her broad ,tablelands
clothed with a rich volume, and the golden
grain waving to the gentle zephyrs, can form
a very good idea of the grandeur that sur-
rounds Monterey. It lies upon an arm of
the Ocean and well sheltered from the winds.
The beach is one of popular resort for tour-
ists and travelers during the summer, and the
Railroad Co. run excursion trains every
Sabbath to both Monterey and Santa Cruiz;
at the former place they have erected one of ‘
the handsomest hotels in the Unipn. It is
built in the modern gothic style, and is 385
feet long by 115 feet wide, having also ex-
treme wings. It contains 160 rqoms, and
many of them are from 80x70 feet. “The
lobby which is in the front center, is 42x48.
There is a reading room 24x26, and a ladies
billiard parlor 25x62, which for finish cannot
be excelled in the Union, and I may here
state that many of them will handle the one
in a way that will put to shame many a pro-
fessional, and they appear to take real delight,
and it certainly seems to be a‘ healthy exer-
cise. The tables are of the finest make and
with the rich carpet and furniture, adds
splendor to the room. The building is lit by
gas throughout, made upon the ground. The
dining room is 45x70; 9. children's and ser-
vant’s room atttnched, and apartments for
parties who may prefer dejeu-ners a la four-
cliette.
There are 28 suites on the ground floor,
each with a bath room and all other modern
improvements.
one at the intersection of each end of the
wings and also a grand stair case leading
from the lobby. In the second story there
are 48 suites. There is also a promenade the
whole length of the building 12 feet in width.
On the attic story there are 13 suites, and
29 single rooms. The central tower, or
observatory is 25x30 and 80 feet in height.
The highest tower is 140 feet and the lowest
is 100. But a few rods from the main build-
ing is the club house, bowling alley and
smoking room. They have also extensive
bath rooms that are heated by steam by
means of rotary pipes at the bottom that will
heat the entire tanks in 40 minutes. Here
there has no pains been spared to bring
every modern improvement into acquisition.
They are large enough to accomodate as many
as wish to bathe, or if you prefer you can
bathe upon the beach, having one of the best
bottoms upon the coast, being of nice fine
sand. The grounds that surround it contaii'i
106 acres, and is tastefully laid out, and is
managed under the direction of a skillful
gardener, as is well proven by walking
through them. The ground is tastefully laid
into nice walks and avenues, and on both
sides are flowers of the choicest varietiesthat
can only be raised East in conservatories.
There are many swings placed in diflerent
parts of the grounds for the amusement of
children, also a croquet ground for the amuse-
ment of all that take delight in that game.
There have been 2,000 trees planted upon
the place mostly English walnut, besides
there are many fine groves of oak, cedar,
pine and cypress. The oak are among the
most beautiful shade trees that there are.
They grow to .an immense size and their
foliage is thick and heavy, although it being
the live oak it is free from that appendage
usually attached to that variety, and the
whole ground being kept in such exquisite
taste adds beauty to its surroundings, and
certainly the company has spared neither ex-
pehse nor time to make this the most popular
resort' for tourists upon the coast. The
couhtryand valley through which the Rail-
road Epasses is termed the garden 'of the
Golden ‘State. The soil is inexhaustably
rich, and the crops never looked finer. The
wheat is headed, and soon the sound of the
reaper will be heard, as harvest is almost
upon us. Some perhaps, can form but a
little idea of the richness of this valley and
how well. it is cultivated only to those that
have actually traveled over it ;. as far as the
eye can reach nothing but one mass of grain
will meet the eye, and the soil being so fer-
tile requires no fertilizer, and this is the' soil
that lies in this valley from San Francisco to
Monterey. No traveler that‘visits the Pacif-
ic slope ought to return until he has visited
Monterey and Santa ‘Cruiz.
Here as you may perchance stroll upon the
shore you can pick up the most beautiful
variegated shells of every color, description
and hue. Here is the abalona that very
much resembles pearl. They grow upon the
rocks, and when the tide is low you will get
them, they are fastened to the rocks, and if
you are not careful they will catch your
fingers and crush them instantly, and it will
require a bar to relieve you or else break the
shell, the suction to the rock‘ is so tight.
The beach is'strewn with the bones of a
whale, I tried to move a part of the huge
frame, but you might as well try to lift an
elephant as to accomplish it. There must be
tons of bones, in such an animal; besides
there are many otherthings of interest that
can be. seen. . C ,
The beach is connected v‘i the hotel by
fine walks and drives. The sand has been
removed and gravel placed in its place. They
have already made 16 miles of road of this
character, and are now. commencing the con-
struction of arace track of one mile, but
one-half mile from the hotel with all necess-
ary buildings to the make up of a first-class
race course. They have already spent.$l50,-
000 or more, and it will doubtless cost much
more before all things are completed.
But one mile away is the Pacific Grove
Retreat Association Camp Ground. The
eastern line is perhaps a mile or so west of
the town of Monterey, and following the
sea-shore the track extends to the line fence
of the dairy farm east of the Light House.
The general arrangement of the encampment
are based upon the principles guiding those
of the Eastern States, and are under the con-
trol of the Board of Trustee. One hundred
acres are divided off into separate lots, a
park, pleasure grounds, a grand avenue,
minor streets and: avenues of the town.
The whole are covered with shade trees of
pine and cypress, tall straight and thrifty,
through whose heavy foliage the strong sun-
light is mellowed.» The embankment com-
mands a splendid view of the bay of Monte-
rey, which is 28 miles from one point to the
other, with its magnificent scenery it will
carry the traveler off in transports of raptur-
ous delight. He is held as if subdued by
the magician’s wand, while he is lost in its
own beautiful mirror of reflection that every.-
where meets his astonished gaze. Monterey
is an old Spanish town, and her streets are
laid out something like many 'of the streets
of Boston, but fortunately the town is not
large, or one would never be able to find his
way back. In walking up her streets‘there
are many things of interest to meet the
traveler’s admiration. . There is the Colton
Hall, the old Block House and Fort. the old
Custom House. Calaboose. Catholic church,
Cemetery, Fishing Ponds, &c. To all that
like to see antique things this will be a place
of interest to ,him. 'lherc are manyminor
things but if all were detailed; would make
this too lengthy. The Catholic church was
built in 1794, and is constructed of a‘pure
white stone, the altar -is the work‘of an
Italiau'and is considered a fine piece of"'art..
a
There are three stair cases ,
There are also life sized paintings of the
saints the same as may be seen in the Cathc?
dral of Mexico, which is world renowned for
its magnitude and grandeur. The Cemetery
is about half way between the new hotel and
the church. Near the center of this enclos-
ure are the remains of a stone wall that for-
merly marked the boundaries of the original
Cemetery as laid out by the Franciscan
Padres. Not but a short distance from here
is a point known as Whaling Point. Adj!-
cent is the spot where the vessel which took
Napoleon from off the island of Elba was
wrec ed, a portion of the wreck can now be
seen at low tide. You may walk along the
shore below the town and see thousands of
seals sporting in the waves. This is a pretty
sight to those that never saw them.

see how a boy of ten years gets up in the
.morning, works, plays. studies, and we will
tell you just what kind of a man he will

late at school, stands a poor chance to be a
prompt man. The boy who neglects his
duties, be they ever so small, and mm ex»

Impurity.
There is one peculiarity about deeds, and
thoughts, and words of impurity. It is the
loathsome and stirring tenacity with which
they cling to the mind. The vindictive man
may become meek, and not a trace of the
vengeful spirit remain. Thus it was with
Paul, who, originally ireful and revengeful,
learned to say, “Most gladly will I spend
and spend for you, though the more ardently
I love you, the less I be loved.” Unhallow-
ed ambition may be replaced by the deepest
humility. But unclean thoughts once bar-
bored never leave the soul empty, and swept
and garnished. There is always a taint.
The Gospel converts all sorts of men. But
we believe that the impure man is the hard-
est to convert, and we believe ‘ that even
when converted, there remains in his nature
a Lankness of odor, a coarseness of grain.

A curious machine is in daily use at one of
the horse railroad stables in New York city.
It is a steam horse cleaner, and throws men
with currycombs completely into the shade.
Its standard rate is 100 horses in ten hours,
but it can do more. The horse to be cleaned
is led under a bar, from which depend on
each side of him arms with universal joints.
Turning on the arms are brushes a foot in
circumference. There are revolved by steam
through the arms and cross bar'at an ordi-
nary rate of 800 revolutions a minute, which
can be increased to 1,000. A man on each
side takes hold of the arm close to the brush
and applies the brush to the horse. The uni-
versal joints allow the arms and brushes to be
moved in any direction. At the stable where
this machine is in use it takes six men 13 1-2
hours to clean, or half clean, 128 by the or?
dinary process. It is said that the machine
does it work much more thoroughly than
the men do theirs“

A. Ward’s Lecture on “The Babes
in the Woods.”
Ward started in California with an rfn-
nouncement that he would lecture on “Babes
in the. Wood.” He'said he preferred this ti-
tle to that of “My Seven Grandmothers.”
Why, nobody knows, \for there was, of course
to be as little in the lecture about babies, in
or out of the.,wood, as about seven or any
other number of grandmothers. “The Babes
in the ,Wood”»was never written down; a
few sentences Only have survived of ripar-
formance which was destined to revolution-
ize the comic lecturing of the age. The
“Babes" seem only to have been alluded to
twice—first at the beginning, when the lee-
turer gravely announced “The Babes” as his
subject, and then, after a rambling string of
irrelevent witticisms, which lasted from an
hour to an hour and a half, he concluded
with, “I now come to my subject—‘The
Babes in the Wood.’ ’5‘ Then taking out his
watch, his countenance would suddenly
change-rsurprise, followed by great per-
plexityl At last,recovering his former com-
posure, and facing the difficulty as best he
could, he continued: “But I find I have ex-
ceeded my time, and will therefqe merely
remark that. so far as I know, they were
very good babies, they were as good as or-
dinary babes.” Then almost breaking down
and much more nervously, “I really have
not time to go into ‘eir history; you will
findit in all the story books." Then. get-
ting quite dreamy, “They died in the woods,
listening to the woodpecker tapping the hol-
low beech tree.” With some suppressed
emotion, “It was a and fate for them, and I
pity them; so I hope do you. Good-night!”
The success of this lecture throughout Cali-
fornia was instantaneous and decisive. The
reporters complained that they could not
write for laughing, and split their pencils
desperately in attempts to take down the
jokes. Every hall and theatre was crowded
to hear about the “Babes" and the “Lyce-
um” lecturer of the period, “what crammed
hisself full of high-soundin’ phrases, and got
trusted‘for a suit of black clothes,” had
nothing to do but to go home and destroy
himself.-—- Good Words.

ATHEISM—FOI‘ a time an atheist populace
may unhold the tattered cancer of corpse-
like traditions, which has been stolen from
the rifled grave of Christianity. But it will
never be long, before it declares itself the
‘enemy of the family, the enemy of the
throne; never long, before it tears down the
flag of decency and order, and upholsts in
its place, if not the red flag of Socialism or
the black one of spoilation, at any rate, the
standard of material appetites and physical
desires.

industry of this country in the census year,
amounted to $300,000,000 of which more
than one-fifth, $1,483,000,000, went into the

that year $400,000,000. It cost $398,000,-
000 to clothe the American people, about
one-quarter as much as the drink-bill; an
average of $65 to a family for clothes, and
more: than $200 for liquor. The public
schools cost $100,000,000. Thirty times as
much was expended in thevliquor business
as by the churches. ' For each ,of our 80,000

Artistic Impurity.
It is quite needlqssfor us to say that we
have no sympathy with that spirit of pru-
dery which turns with horror from things
intrinsically beautiful and good because
wicked men have perverted them and corrupt
imaginations have made them suggestive of
evil. Prude'ry is not purity. A healthy
and robust virtue refuses to shriek and smirk
at things a vitiated fancy can associate with
badness. But in these artistic days there is
a powerfultendency to break over the 'line
which every refined nature draws between
things proper and things improper. The
fashion of the time, set for us in Europe,
seems to ignore the existence of tastes, sen'si-
bilities, ideas of purity and propriety which
may be shocked and wounded by represen-
tations with which we are happily, for the
most part, unfamiliar. We have a fieshly
school of poetry, in which fancy lends itself
to lust, and imagination gives wings to inde-
cency. And unfortunately. the same vicious
tendency marks much of the work of foreign
artists, whom our owu look up to as masters.
And while wealthy pe0ple are bringing home
from Europe pictures and statues for their
homes which are tainted with a sensuousness
thatevery innocent mind feels at a glance,
many of our own artists pander to a taste
which is depraved by producing works more
remarkable for sehsualty than beauty or force
of merit‘of any kind.
We are just now in the midst of an 'artistic
furore. . The “resthetic craze” is turning
many heads, sensible people are saying very
silly things and filling their houses with what
they will regard as rubbish, ‘or worse, one of
these days. In trying to relieve the “bald-
ness” of life in a new country, where every-
thing rests on the utilities,.by bringing an
’element of beauty our fathers knew nothing
of, they have gone too far in the direction of
a French laxity of taste and morals. It is
easy to say that “to the pure all things are
pure” There are things which the purest
mind cannot look at in a promiscuous com-
pany without being pained, if not shocked.
There are things which bring blushgs to the
checks of the purest on earth. It maybe
admitted that there are artists who can rep-
resent the human figure in its entirety with
such remarkable truthfulness and symmetry,
aud'so invest it with a mantle of spirituality,
that no one could see a suggestion of evil in
it. But nineteen-twentieths of the artists
who undertake the nude are not masters,
and their work is as crude as it is nude.
The master robes his figure in a native love-
liness that hides every suggestion of what is
unseemly; his imitators unwittingly vitiate
their work with a sensualism that shocks and
shames. Allow all the fidelity to nature that
is claimed, still is it true that clothes have
other functions than to protect the body from
the cold. Exposures of the person are pun-.
ished as offences against good morals.
The educational influence of works of art
must be kept steadily in mind. Their power
on the young and ,plastic- nature is greater
than that of words. They speak to the eye
and touch, to the artistic feeling innate in us
all, to fancy and imagination. They leave
an ineflaceable picture in the thoughts. A
single picture of cruelty, of suffering, of
wretchedness, often haunts a' sensitive. be-
holder for years, and reappears in dreams.
A statue or picture reeking with sensualism
or even suggestive of impurity, may kindle'
passions and taint the fancy of some young
beholder in a way that shall lead to ruin.
All' such works of art should be banished
from public galleries. If they are of use for
study, and this we are far from admitting,
let them be kept where only students can see
them. Art should be kept pure as literature,
and a vice-inspiring picture or statute should
be prohibited as remorselessly as a vile book
should be suppressed—New York Escape.

The ‘ ‘co-operativc apartment” house which

feet in depth,a,nd will cost, including ground,
$350,000. Eight stories are divided
into seventeen apartments, eight of
holders, and nine will be rented, the
income from these beipg used in defraying
the running expenses of the house ; any
surplus will be divided among the sharehold-
ers as dividends. The upper story consists of
a fireproof Mansard roof, with dormer win-
dows and lofty and ornate chimney shafts.
The upper and out edge of the Mansard
roof will be furnished with a wrought iron
railing.bordered with boxes filled with shrubs
and fiOWers. A summer ga'rden, which is to
'be formed on the roof, is to 'be tiled and es-
pecially prepared. A fountain will play in
the summer and sprinklers will keep the tiles
cool. Each apartment will have a library,
drawing room, dining room, six bed rooms,
kitchen, pantries and store rooms. All the
rooms will be heated by air warmed by steam
pipes. The beds are to have bottoms of
steam pipes instead of slats; conveniently
near at the beds will his placed a steam coil,
which in winter is to be connected.by means
of a tube, with the pipes at the bottom of

three years and a half, that it is simply a

would cost, it is said, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. Thirty architects competed

The ease of Mrs. Edwii'ryddllyers of Rondout
New York, furnishes an apt illustration of
woman's .power of endurance. This lady had
been treated for months in the usual way for
Ei‘ysipelas of the hand, without benefit. Not
until her hand had become a mass of putrified
itself did she turn to Dr. Kennedy, proprietor
‘of the “Favorite Remedy” for help.
He at once informed her that it was impos-
sible to says the hand—it must be amputated.
She received this terrible intelligence quietly.
declined to take'et'ner, stipulating merely to
hold her husband’s hand during the operation
and underwent the painful process without
moving a muscle or uttering a groan. Dr.
Kennedy then gave Favorite Remedy freely
to cleanse the blood and prevent the return of
the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great deliverance.
“Favorite Remedy” is fast becoming- a.
trusted household friend in all cases of female
weakness and disease of the blood. Ono dol-

The Autumn of Life.-
The old man sits at his cottage door,
In the gleam of the dying day;
His heart is calm as the silent shore,
When the winds have passed away;
His thoughts as still as the fragrant breeze
That whispers of peace to the azure seas.
His is the beauty of earth and air,
The glow of the twilight hours;
He feels that glory everywhere
Is breathing from woodland flowers;
And his weary heart grows young, though
his years are old, ‘
At the wondrous sinht of the sunset gold! -
For Memory comes with a gentle hand,
And beareth on Fancy’s wings
His thoughts of her own immortal land,
Where the Past forever sings
Of joys that brightened the fair days fled,
Ere friendships faded with friends long dead.
And the past, though sad, for the love that
has gone,
Is sweet to the old man’s mind ;
Like birds that sang in those years, have
’ flown .
The hopes he hath left behind;
Yet Memory brings from each bygone day
Some gift of peace for his lonely way!
And the children love that old man dear,
> As he sits in the twilight there,
Listing 8 music they cannot hear, ‘~
From the sea and the voiceful air;
And gather around, like gladsome flowers,
As he tells them tales of the vanished hours.
And so the present is made more bright
By the lessons the Past hath taught ;
As the East reflects the wondrous light
Of the West, by sunset brought;
And though his vision is grossing dim,
God maketh his pathway bright to him.
His age is peace; yet he joys to think
That a deeper than earth can know
Shall be his, when his tranquil soul shall
d_rink
Of a balmier twilight glow,
In that happier home, where his thoughts at
last '
Shall yearn no more for the distant Past!
Trodden Flowers.
There are some hearts that, like the loving
vme, .
Cling to unkindly rocks and mined towers,
Spirits that sufifer and do not repine-
Patient and sweet as lowly trodden fiow-
, ers '
That from/the passer’s heel arise.
And bring back odorous breath instead of
sighs. ‘
But there are other hearts that will not feel
The lonely love that haunts their eyes and
ears; ,
That wounds fond faRh with anger worse
than steel;
And out of pity’s springs draw idle tears.
0 Nature! shall it ever be thy will ,
Ill things with good to mingle, good with
ill ?
Why should the heavy foot of sorrow press
The willing hearts of uncomplaining love— .
Meek charity that shrinks not from distress, _
Gentleness, loth her tyrants to reprove ?
Though virtue weep forever and lament,
Will one hard heart turn to her and repent?
Why should ghe reed be broken that will
bend, '
And they that dry the tears in others’ eyes
Feel their own anguish swelling without end:
Their summer darkened with the smoke of
sighs ?
Sure, Love to some fair region of his own
Will flee at last and leave us here alone.
Love weepeth always—weepeth for the past,
For woes that are, for woes that may be-
‘ tide; ‘
Why should not hard ambition weep at last,
Envy and hatred, avarice and pride?
Fate whispers, so low. is your lot,
They would be rebels; love rebelleth not.

Widder Green’s Last Words.
“I’m going to die,” said the Widder Greene,
"I'm going to quit this airthly scene;
It ain’t no place for me to stay
In such a world as ’is to-day.
Such works and ways are too much for me.
Nobody can let nobody be;
The girls is fiounced from top to toe,
And that's the hull 0’ what they know.
The men is mad on bonds and stocks,
Swearin’ and shootin' an’ pickin’ locks.
I’m real afraid I’ll be hanged myself
Ef I ain’t laid on my final shelf.
There aint a creature but knows to-day
I never was lunatic any way,
But since crazy folks all go free,
I’m dreadful afraid they’ll hang up met ‘
Ther‘s another thing that’s pesky hard—
I can't go into a' neighbor’s yard
To say “How be you ?’ or borry a pin,
- But what the paper’ll have it in:
‘We’re pleased to say the Widder Greene
Took dinner a Tuesday with Mrs. Keene.’
Or ‘Our worthy friend Mrs. Greene’s gone ,
Down to Barkhamsted to see her son.’
Great; Jerusalem i can’t I stir
Without a-risin’ some feller's fur! .
There ain’t no- privacy, so to say,
No more than if this was judgment day,
And as for meetin’—I want to swear -
Every timc‘I put my head in there;
Why, even Old Hundred’a'spiled and done,
Like everything else under the sun;
It used to bc solemn and slow,
‘Praise to the Lord from men below,’
Now'it goes like a gallopiu' steer,
Higlldiddle diddle! there and here.
No respect to the lord above
No mor’n ef he was hand and glove
With all the creeters he ever made,
And all the jigs that was ever played.
Preachin’ too—but there I’m dumb——
But I tell you what! I’d like it some
If good old Parson Nathan Strong
Out 0’ his grave would come along,
And give us a stirriu’ taste 0’ fire—
Judgment and justice is my desire.
"Taint all love an’ Sickish sweet
That makes this world or t’other complete,
But law! I'm old! I’d better be dead
When the world’s a-tur‘ning over my head;
Speril’s talkin’ like tarnal fools,
Bibles kicked out 0’. district schools,
Crazy critters a-murdering round—
Honest folks better be under the ground.
, So fare-ye-well, this airthly scene
No mbre'll be pestered by Widder Greene.”
—Baltl'more Sim.

a KISS FOR srsran.
She was a very little girl,
. And, as I bent and kissed her,
“There, that is for yourself,” I said,
"And this is for your sister.”
List night I called in friendly way,
Some gay girl friends were there;
And laugh and jest went gaily round,
To banish weary care. ~
The little girl cameromping in,
And unto me said she:
“i diva that ties to Sizzer Bell
‘ Ou left for her wiz me, '
“She tisséd me lots 0’ times an’ said,
When folkses ’ouhln’t see,
I might dive ’em Io Pou—dust wait
= VIVI‘iII ’ou’s alone wiz me i"
I blushed, and so did Sister Bell;
The gay girl friends, ah me!
I wished the horrid, horrid things
