Come hither, my gentlo bassoon,
A nil grumble an ode to the moon: '
For each star in the sky
Is gliding on high
Through the graceful, genteel rigadoon.
Then grunt, oh, my beauteous bassoon.
And tell her a love-sick buffoon
Is longing to laud
Her countenance broad
On an Instrument rpilto out of tunc.
Inform her, melodious bassoon,
That his heart is as soft as stewed prune,
And purely from passion
He's changing in fashion
He's turned to a fiddle-head spoon.
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.

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."

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."

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,

A Western poet has found inspiration in tho
Ilichardsou-McFarlaud affair, and after a de

" TIh wroni?, tis dannrous to ica: or i:fo
To touch uniu's honor, or his wife,

"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." "Even that won't prevent it," exclaimed a
crusty old bachelor, "she'll then praise hint, and
suy hanging would be too good for you."

Yet, though these hands had scarce arraved .
In tourist togs my ugly body.
The fabric frail my trust betnyed,

What power malignant sent thee here,
Vile rent, my piece of mind to rob,
To prove thec flimsy bags were dear,
Though bought for only sixteen bob ?
Here must I, sorrowing, wait repairs,
And moralize the mournful scene,

Come, Jane, with silver finger-sheath,
With thread nnd needle heal my woes:
Come, armed like Cnrtius to the teeth,
