TWO OF A KIND.
They met upon un ocean trip,
Seemed drawn to one another,
Of all the folks upon the ship,
Mout united to each other.
They sailed across the ocean blue,
Aud it wag pleasant weather;
Tho days paesed briAlitly for the two,
They were drawn much together.
They sat upon the after sleek,
Enjoyed the rocking motion ;
The fleeting hours they'd little reek
While speeding 'cross the ocean.
For to her ho seemed all in all,
And he seemed hor's forever ;
TIWR8 wondered oft what would befall,
When fate these hearts should sever.
Andatill they cooed, and sighed and
mailed
Aargau the briny ocean.
And that they e're could be prevailed
To part none had a notion.
At 1114, across the mean wide,
They reached the point of parting;
Ile looked so sad and softly sighed;
With her the tears seemed starting.
The hour at last arrived to part,
He said in tones of sorrow;
hope it will not break your heart,
ltly wife meets me to -morrow."
Said she forgive the little shook
Caused by what I'm imparting;
I meet my husband on the dock,
And so you'd beat be starting.
A BARREL OE WHISKEY.
A drayman rolled forth, from bis cart to
the street
A red-headed barrel, well.bound and
complete ;
And 00 11 red letters, like. forked tongues
of flame,
Emblazoned the grade, number, quality
and fame,
Of this world.renowned whiskey from
eomebody'e still,
Who arrested the grain on the way to
the mill.
So there stood the barrel delivered, but I
Could see that a shadow was hovering
nigh -
A. sulphurous aluntow, that grew as I
gazed,
To the form of 1ffephisbo. Though sere.
ly amazed,
I ventured to question this imp of the
realm
Where Vice is the pilot, with Crime at
the helm,
And Raked him politely his mission to
11111110,
And if be was licensed to retail the sane
Identical barrel of whiskey, which he
Wee fetidly surveying, with demon -like
glee.
Oh I never handle the stuff," he replied.
'My partner's good morals are trusted
and tried.;
t1ayhap, peradventure, you might wish
to look
At the invoice complete -I will read'
from this book,
You will find that the barrel contains
something more
Than forty-two gallons of whiskey galore.'
And ere I oould slip but another word in,
lEe checked it off gaily, this cargo of sin ;
"A barrel of boadaehes, of heartaches, of
WON,
A bsrrel of curses, a barrel of blows I
A. barrel of tears from it world-weary
wife ;
A. barrel of sorrow, a barrel of strife ;
A barrel of trouble by evil beset,
A. barrel of all unavailing regret;
A. barrel of crime and barrel of pain ;
A barrel of hopes ever blasted and vain.
A barrel of fal,ehood, a barrel of odes
That fall from the maniac's lips ere he
dies ;
A barrel of poison -of this nearly fell -
That shatters the nerves -makes the
intellect dull.
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight ;
A barrel of terrors that grow with the
night ;
A. barrel of hunger, a barrel of grcans,
A barrel of orphans' most pitiful moans ;
A barrel of serpents that hies as they
pass
From the bond on the liquor that glows
iu the glees
My berrel I Iny treasure 1 I bid thee
farewell -
Micah sow the foul seed that is reaped
down in hell."

WE KNOW NMI WELL.
We know Lim well. He is a man
Built on the stupendous plan,
Mashed of health and strong of limb,
A hero bold and warrior grim,
To those who know him not may be -
At home he's helpless as a baby.
Be lets his tired little wife,
• Who strangely loves him as her life,
Wait on him with devotion rare,
While with a most complacent air
And perfect ease before the blaze he
Lolls around -because he's lazy.
His wife, afraid to own her sonl,
Chops the weed and lugs the coal,
Draws the water, shovels snow,
While he a giant, sees her grow
More delicate, and less admired,
Doing his worls--beeause he's tired,
Shame on this semblance of a man,
Siloam ou the woman, too, who can,
So avoid or female si unk and sense,
Coddle a manual so immense
And good for nothing, spanking, maybe,
By real men might help the baby.
