BY J0US U YAWS. h Now, Betsey, it is my turn—now let the old man tell, dust what be thinks of heaven, and how he looks at hell. For some men have been telliu', till nearly out of breath That everything is fixed up fine for sinners after death. i1. My years are three score years and ten—ray hairs are white as snow; I ought to know the ways of men --God's way I ought to know ; I travelled on the downward read till con- science loud did ery. "It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die.

It needed only one more speech, and it presently chaise from Chowder .i)aa\id, who has not been altogether au april;h: member. Great surprise was manifes- ted as lie rose up and began: „Uoanlen Ize gwine ter oven right up dat 1 hez lifted boils off de roost times wi(lout number --hens dot didn't inwen. tory wid my adder assets.

Die Club may hey faults, but one o' dem faults am not buruin' down an orfun asylum au' den preachiu' de 'no hell' doctrine to oil over a blistered conscience. We'll consider the matter settled right yar an' now, an' purceed to de task of collectin' up the usual bimonthly col- lecshun. De jayntor will look the dealt an' permit no one to pass flew till de cash hez bin counted." is "In case of fiah, de result wid dat doah locked, might be gigantic," re- marked Clambake Oronoke, an old ex - slave from Virginia. "Jess so, brudder, but I assumes de chances an' takes ae responsibility," re- plica the President, motioning for the hat to begin its travels. The colleetion began with fourteen cents from the Rev. Penstock, dwindled down to five at the Hon. Jacob Spades, and wound up with a email sent and a recipe fur making hair -oil from Col. Bermuda Johnson. "Two dollars an' ricin' am tolerable fair, oonsiderin' ile Yurypeau situashun de new silver bill an' de big split in de Republiken party," observed the presi- dent as he counted the cash. "Unlock de doah, pass aroun' de water pail, an' we'll step on de next head on de pro- grammy." when he dies. XV. "Oh happy day that faxed my choice"— that made nay conscience cry, "It is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die;" Let's trim our life lamps, Betsey,—keep 'cm burnin' bright and clear ; For the midnight hour approaci rtli—seen the bridegroom wilbe here.

Although a "Liberal" in times past, he says that he wilt certainly oppose at the approaching election the Govern- ment that refuses to do juetioe to the country's agricultural interests. The firet impression that the Eng- lish design on the American dollar gives you, is that the eagle has just been roused from a brown study by a moot awful and unexpected swipe across the back with a otuf ed club. 1878) MING (1878 TUE.
