In this 'dull whit trotible rife,
'Tis sweet to meet n maiden
With winsome Glee, a fbrm of grace,
And nature's treasures laden
One orthese girt, with waving curls,
And eyes that shone like stars,
-I met tine day, in Tommy gay,
While riding in the cars.
She cast.hy chance a Andive glance
At me .while I vas seated ;
That look so nice-was once or twice
Coquettishly repeated.'
Pre seen fair maids, both Frenchand Dutch
In (orimrt, rooms and bars,
But none that pleased the halt so much
— As this one In the ads.
With sidle so in4ght she did invite
" Your uncle" to sit next her;
I didn't choose thisto real:se- 4 .
For that would much have vexedher,
Tier breath With spice was very nice,
Like flavor of cigars,
As I sat near this pretty dear,
So snugly In the cars,
We soon per force, hafnium° discourse--
I breathed my fond affection, .
My arms embraced bar slender waist,
t3he hadn't much objection,
But uterely said " 'tis hard for maids
Who have no pa's nor ma's,
To keep in safety-from the ' bladm' •
While riding in the eats."
We rode all through the city throng
Far past my destination,
To leave my seat and then retreat,
The thought was desperation.
I couldn't start, while my poor heart
Was fall of Cupid's scars
Thus I was smitten and badly bitten,
While riding in the cars
She simpered—" Pm from boarding school
You'd easily discover;
Diy guardian, he has made a rule
I shall not have a lover—
But soon a husband I must get
To shield me from life's jars ;
You are the nicest man I've met
In these horse railroad cars r
'Twould be amiss to ask a kiss
In such a situation,
But on that Me I deeply sigit'd,
For that sweet salutation.
For truth be told—l am not bold,
Like any son altars ;
But it VIM plain, " Love on the basin,"
Possete'd me on the cara.
With sudden start she did depart
As quickly as a rocket ;
With hitter curse, I missed my purse
Front out my trowsene pocket.
The bird bad down—l-was alone—
Oh, my unlucky mars!
To be betrayed by lardy maid,
And "shook down" 111 the can
The first- notice that was taken of me,
when I 'settled down' recently, Was by a
gentleman who said he Was an asa , isor;
and connected with . thernited States In
ternal Revenue DeFp-ft-dent.
I said I had never heard of this branch
of business before, but I was very glad to
see him, all the-same—would he sit down°
He eat down.: I did not know anything
particular to say, - and'yei I felt that peo
ple who have arrived at the dignity of
keeping house mast be conversational—
must be easy and sociable in company. So
in default of anything else to say, I asked
him if he was opening .his shop in our
neighborhood. -
lie said he was. II did not wish to ap
pear ignorant, but I had hoped he would
mention what he bail for sale.)
I ventured to ask him bow was trade?'
and he said so-so. -
I then mid we would'drop in and ifute

lie s..tid he thought we would like his
establishment well enough to confine ourj
selves to 'he never saw anybody

That soundedpre{ty``eoirtplacent, but

which.we :have given, the' , tuati looked
honeit enough.
A do not know how it tine about, es
-,actly, but gradually tre appealed to melt

Ha, ha, ha! Why you are only in the

$3.50 to .$5, according to the-binding.—
Listen tome. Look me in the eye: Dar-

during four months and a half ending

" l'ossible,l If there's any mistake. it's
the other way. Two hundred and four
teen thousand, cash, is my income for
this, if !.know how to cipher.'
Then the gentleman got -up to go. It
came over me most Uncomfortably that
maybe I had made my revelations for no
thing, besides being flattered into stretch
ing them Axiusiderably- by the, stranger's
astonished exclamations But no ;at the
last moment the stranger handed me a
large envelope, and said 'it contained his
telserthiemeut ; and that L would find out
all about kis-business in it ; and that he
would happy to have my custom—would
in fact be proud to have the custom-of so
prodigious an income ; and, that he used
to think there were several wealthy men
in Buffalo, but when they came .to trade
with him he discovered that they had
barely enough to live on ; -and that in
truth it bud been such a weary, weary
a ,, e since he had seen a rich man face to
face, and talked with him, and touched
him with his hands, that be could hardly
refrain from embracing me—in fact would
esteem it e great favor if I wonld let him
embrace me.
This so pleased me that I did not try to
resist, but allowed this simple hearted
stranger to throw his arms about. me and
weep a few tranquilizing tears down the
back of my neck. Then he went his way.
As soon as he was gone lopened his tub
vcrtisement. I studied it attentively for
four minutes. I then called up the cook
and raid :
" Hold me. while I Lint. Let Maria
turn the hatter cakes."
By and by, when I came to, I sentdown
to the rum mill on the corner, and hired
an artist by the week. GI sit up nights nnrl
curse that stranger, and give a lift. occas
ionally in the day time when 1 came to a
hard place.
Ah, wfuit a ruiscnind he was ! His "ad
vertis' etnent" was nothing in the world
but a wicked tax retnrn—tt string of im
pertinent questions about my private af
fairs, occupying, Thel4;tter.ixart of four
foolscap - pages of fine print—questions, I
may remark, gotten np with such marvel
ous ingenuity that the oldest man in the
world couldn't understand what the most
of them Were driving lit—questions, too,
that were calculate& to make a man reti
krt about four times his actual income to
eep from Smearing ton lie. I looked for
a loop-hole, but there did not appear to
be any.
Inquiry No. 1 covered ply case, as gen
erously and as simply asnn umbrella
could cover an ant bill : • . .
, .
"What were your profits, in 1869, from
any trade, limitless or vocation wherever
carried on 1."
And that inquiry was hacked np by
thirteen. others of an equally searching
nature, the, most, modest of- which requir
ed.information as to whether I had com-•
mitted any burglary, or highway robbery,
or by any arson or other secret source of
emolument, had acquired property which
was not enumerated in my statement of
ineome as set opposite to inquiry. No. 4.
It was plain that that stranger bad en
abled me.. to make an . ass. of myself. It
was Nery, very plain, and I went out and
hired.another artist. By workin.i , " on my
vanity the stranger had seduced me into
declaring an. income of $214,000. By law,
tlOOO of this was exempt front lucerne

Yes, it. is very trne, though life belong;
