The Beetroot met the Celery
'Good morning 1' said the sweet root
Crisply the Celery replied,
"flow are you, Mr,, Beetroot 7"
"I'm weary, sir," said Mr. 13,,
"Of living near to posies ;
I'm always hearing people prafeo
Tho lilies and the mess,
"That lily'e white and wee is red,
I know by obeervabion,
But why don't folks give us our turn
Of ardent admiration 7"
"Surely because," snapped Celery,
"They scam see gash their noses
"I'm whiter than the lilies, sir --
You're redder than the roses 1"
"HUSTLE."
THE BRUSSELS POST
You may tell that story about the hero
And tortoise as oft as you will ; [there
I know that the man who "hustles" gets
Ahead o
held fthe one who sits ts still.
Of amuse he stumbles who goes too fast,
But I'd rather blunder and fall,
Yet reach my goal somehow at last,
Than never get there at all.
The slow, methodical, cautious man,
Who is always decrying haste,
Who never achieves, but to great to plan–
Well, be isn't the man to my taste.
In watching mankind 111ave noted the
fact
Aud I hold it a truth indeed,
To be rapid in thought and steady in cot,
Is the very beet way to succeed.
But then we are nob all built that way,
And the next best thing in life's tussle,
Toward winning the prize that is to be,
I say,
The one who is willing to "hustle."
IIE WILL BE THERE.
Oh, I'm an oldish farmer from the wilds
of Indian ;
But I'm about as good, I guess, as any
other man ;
I don't go much on larnin, and I have
my little ways,
But I'm sixteen ounces to the pound,
jest as the feller says ;
I may not be a sabolard, but I ain't no
small pertater,
"None couldn't quicker pitch a ton nor
dror a furrer straighter."

bay is in the stack,

And you kin put it down in blank it's
jest the sight fur me ;
Oh, croaky doodle Annie, but you'd

I don't care muob fur waxworks and
filagree and slob,
I'll leave them exbibitious to the poets

But when I eye the animals jest kindly

I cant toll you how strong my bewen-
dermelt was When I got to the fare
grounde and saw with my own °yea how

A man that I passed the time ov day
