And begged,a share from every bean ?

Who coax papa and wheedle hub, -
Unheeding jest'and gibe and snub ?
Our Women !
Who worked all day and talked all night,
To build their house, and put to flight

Who waked the days of Washington ;

"We can give passes to ci, ergymeuloccasinn

His Honor looked into his desk to see if ev=

"I don't either." •

"Mrs. Swipe, now do beensible. You know

cultured art,critie. Havirg • recently heard the
Camilla Ursoi troupe, be gives his impressions
of the perbirmance •in this elegant and appre
ciative. style "The fiddler Urso more than
carved the fiddle. She dug sweet morsels of
music out _of it, all the' way tram wishbone to
the part that goes over the fence last. She
made it tall Norwegian, - and squethed little
notes out of it not bigger than a cambric needle
and as smootk itS hook agent.. But the most
agile ffea-eat4ber was sixteen fingered Jack,the
sand-hill crane that had the disturbance with
the piano: 'tire never knew what the row was
about, but ` 7tien he walked up to the piano
smiling and Shied his castor into the ring any
body cn_tld see there was going to tie trouble.—
He spit on his hands, sparred, a little and sud•
; denly landed a stunning blow right on the ivo
ry, which staTgered the piano and caused an
exelamationloraguny. First knock down for ,
Jack. He paused a Moment, and then began
putting\n blow's right, and left in such a cruel
manner thatthe,spectators came near breaking
into the ring. Whenever a key. showed- its
