At a very early period of my life
My mother used often to take me
A walking in the garden,
And she would tell me stories
i Uv you, my sweet and sour tomattuses!
| She said w hen mock-oranges wus little known,
j Folks sit you on mantle-pieces for ornament,
Along with them, and called you
Jerusalem apples!
O tomattuses!
What makes you so good and
Sweet aud sour, with your red
Cheeks shining among the green
Lieves, aud looking as temptin
Ac. you kin? Some of you iz
Smooth, like a apple, and
Some of you has k reuses in you
Like a fat baby's nec!
O tomattuses I do you know you hev
Kalomel in you, enuf to salivate
Some folkes that has used kalontel Drs.
Too much before? 1 diskuvered that,
Aud you kin regulate the boweis too.
O Jeiusalem apple tomattuses 1
Did you ever live before the flud.
And when Adam aud Eve were little boys!
Did you gro on the banks of the Knile,
When the masterdon used lor to cum
Out to eat grass with his hind legs
In the water? Did he turn you up
Wi'.h his ponderous snoot, and go away
And leave you like the Jew's abomination,
Culled a liorg. duz now a-daze?
That would be hard to tell.
What's the reason no animal eats you
Except man, and chickens, and sich?
I don't no. Mabbe it's the kalomel.
The man who first kaned you
Deserves to be Emperor of Mexico,
t Li it wus safe!
MISCELLAN "Y~
Fi-iglitl'ul Occurrence 4 .Han
Btoustcd to Dcatli in an Oil ltc
liiiing Still.
In ttie late fire which occurred at j
Oil Springs, Canada West, resulting in
the loss of the llartlbrd Oil Refinery,
a man named Hutc hinson was literally
baked to death. He was, at the time |
|of the fire, which took place at raid- '■
day, cleaning out one of the stills. To!
i effect this ho had to descend into the i
still by a small step ladder, which was
drawn up to enable the man to go
about his work. While thus engaged,
I by some means, through the pipe be- 1
coming disconnected under the hands
jof workmen on the refinery, the oil
ran out, and communicating with the
fire the whole mass was in a moment
blazing. The man who escaped en
deavored to extricate his fellow, and
j succeeded in grasping his hand, but he
j was unable to retain his hold through
the tierce flame which was rapidly sur
rounding him, and to save himself was
compelled to abandon his companion :
in the meanwhile, being himself severe
ly burnt in his effort at rescue.
Rushing through the flames, he es
!capes and stands in the open air, only
to hear, in common with the assent
bled neighbors, the hopeless cry for
help which ever}' now and then rang
above the roar of flaming oil from!
the fatal still which was to prove
the terrible tomb in which, unscathed
by flame, a living man was to grapple
with the death-heat, as hotter grow
the iron, closer and more stifling the
atmosphere, and more intense, though
each time feebler, the attempt to draw
i breath; till at last the almost equally
painful silence told the horror stricken
; spectators, who stood powerless, that
i all was over, and that soon nothing j
but a blackened mass would remain of
the man who not an hour before was
jin the prime of life and health. To
I add to their distress, the wife of the i
! dying sufferer hurried to the scene, |
I but only to hear the last cry that came
I from that tomb of terror, and to be
borne back again stunned with her
| grief, to fold almost unconsciously in
her arms four little fatherless ones.
The poor man was subsequently found
in an upright posture, leaning against
the still, and though not touched by
the tire, he was but a black, charred
! mass, whose clothes crumbled away at
! the lirst touch, only to reveal the bare,
j burnt skeleton.
Democratic Orator Confounded.
We are informed that a village in
1 one of the 'backbone' Democratic coun
ties was the scene of a funny incident
a few evenings since, whereby a Dem
ocratic orator was utterly confounded
and brought to grief by men of his
own party. The circumstances areas
follows :
He had told them how the rich bond
holder had reduced them to slavery in
despite of the efforts of the Goddess
lof Liberty and several other person
I ages, both human and celestial, till
then unknown to the audience. He
j quoted extensively from George Fran
cis Train's 'demagogue' speech, and
among other things the following:
Work! work! work!
From the dawn to the dusk of day.
For your hopes ate crushed with a weight of debt,
Y hat the toil of your life won't pay.
Having wrought up his bearers al
most to mutiny, he left that branch ot
his subject, and proposed to show up
some ot tho Republican leaders, be
ginning with Ben Wade. 'Why fel
j fow-citizens,' said he, 'there is Ben
i Wade, a regular agrarian, who wants
all the property divided so that every
man will have an equal share.' [Thun
during applause, and cries of 'Bully
fur him !' 'That's the ticket!' 'He's the

said he, 'Ben Wade is a Radical and an

The speaker was thunderstruck
Evidently, his hearers had never heard

Corruption or Ancient Pompeii.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune, who has latety been at the buri
ed city in Italy, writes as follows:
There is one matter in relation to
Pompeii that is seldom touched on by
writers, and which 1 dare not touch
too closely, to wit: the horrible de
pravity of the Pompeians as illustra
ted by the frescoes, mosaics, sculptures
and bronze statues that are found.
Hundreds of these vile objects have
been carried away to the museums of
Naples, and put in a room where no
woman is allowed to visit, but there
uro still houses in Pompeii that are
kept locked, and others that have such
sculptures over tho doors on the out
side that the guides hurry past then:
when there are women in the party
Even in private houses there are scores
of frescoes—magnificently executed
too —which one would dare to visi
only in company with his nearest am
I dearest friends, if ladies, and in othe
houses pictures and statues than whicl
i none can imagine anything worse,
cannot understand why the writers 01
these matters have been so anxious t(
conceal the faults of the ancients. I
is a fact that deserves to be generally
known. Great God, what a picture o
corruption in Imperial Rome is reveal
ed to one who looks into Pompeii witl)
anything but thoroughness. The very
stone of tho door step tells a tale more
damnable than ever was invented by
modern thought Sodom was clean,
and Gomorrah was pure, compared
with Pompeii. Where was ever a peo
pie on earth before or since Pompeii
'advertised the way that led down to
hell' by sculptures placed in the open
light of tho street ? 'Out, d—d spot!'
cried the still infant genius of modern
civilization and Christianity, as it look
ed in u|>on Pompeii, and Vesuvius re
sponded to the command and seut his
consuming fires to do tho work.
