Then bid her consider, bassoon, My piteous condition, or soon I shall have to dispense With reason and sense, Or sink right away in a swoon. Bid her grant me one boon, my bassoon And in Jnno at the night's highest noon With tltts coou, on harpoon Or balloon niaeoroon Seek a bridal festoon at Kangoou. Thft Corime Mrkrd It Out. A New Jersey farmer lost his wife, the other day. After the funeral, one of his old friends came to take tea aud condolo with him. The widower dilated upon the virtues of tho de ceased, aud exclaimed: "But was n't It a beau tiful funeral ?" "Yes," replied the friend; "very interesting, indeed." "uito a crowded house, wasn't It, though?" asked tho mourner. "Very, very; quite a success," groaned the friend. "Did you notice the hymn? wasn't it touching?" queried tho widower. "Very, very; I jined Into It with all my heart," replied the guest. "Yes, and so did I," said the bereaved man; "the corpse picked it out. She allcrs loved that hymn." Had Hint There. An irascible old gent, who formerly held the position of Justice of the Tcace, was one day uceosted in the street by a youth, in a manner that did not come up to his Honor's Idea of respect due him. "Young man," said he, "I line you five dollars for contempt of court." "Why, Judge," said the offender, "you are not in session." "This Court," replied the Judge, thoroughly irritated, "is always in session, and consequently always an object of contempt." Bn-iUtlnw the New. A French paper prints tho following: The wife of General X. dying suddenly during his absence, his family were greatly perplexed to decide how the news shoidd be conveyed to him. A nephew undertook the task, and sought out the widower: "tieueral, my auut is very ill." "You frighten me." "Yes, I fear we cannot save her." "You sly dog," cried the bereaved husband, putting his forefinger to his nose, "I'll bet that li6 dead!" A CiriiLSTMAS TRAGEDY. AJ'oem; wilhno allusion initio any oVver poem. Three chickens went flopping out on to the ground, Out on to the ground when the sun rose high, Each went from the coop with a terrible wound, A bead chopped clean oil and a ticket to die. But men must work, and women must cat, Aud tender ebickcu makes very good meat, And Christmas time is coming. Three roosters they set up a horrible squawk, And they stretched out their necks as the fowls wint down, And they looked at the hens and the tomahawk, As much as to say, "Don't he do it up brown?" ttut men have stomachs and women must eat, And nice chicken pie it is hard to bi'at, And Christmas time is coming. Three corpses all cut up went Into the dish, Tho crust was put on and the edge scolloped down, A juicy a pie as the stomach could wish, When tho ovon had baked It all through, nice and brown, ' l or men must kill and women must eat, And good chicken pie is a very good treat, When ChrUtmas time is coming. And Khe Vn ttlaht. A young enthusiast was talking to his intended, urging upon her speedy marriage, and a start to spend tho honeymoon In California.

"No use talking," he replied. "Well, If there's no uso of talking," suld the lady, "what iu tho name of senses do you waut of women there ? I don't go!" All 4nllinill tau.

"If you ever think of marrying a widow, my sou," said an anxious parent to his bolr, "select one whoso first husband was hung; that is the only way to prevent her throwing his memory in your face, and making annoying compari sons."
