TIII; BULLDOG,
The bulldog is a savage i)oast,
Ire never fluuo'i or rants,
But he will leave the dailttiost feast
Lo tear a lover's plums.
(We trnot our hypercritic friends
Will pardon no this tune,
For "tremors" would lint snit aur ends,
Because they would not rhyme.)
And when ho gots 0 solid grip,
(Wu 1110011 the perp, you know):
Until those nether garments r-r•rmp, •
Ino never will lot gu.
13ut sets h is teeth and growls loin growls,
With malice ill•caroonled,
Uluuindtttl of the lover's howls,
Until tiro cloth doth yield.
And thou the lover climbs the fence,
And hi unload, to stop,
But rapidly meanders hones
Unto the tailor's shop,
So out of evil good doth come,
For, though the loves swears,
It makes the tailor's business hunt
To mond time bulldog's tears,

A. YOUNCI WIFE'S VIEWS.
I. think my husband ought to,do
Exactly as I want him to,
Especially where it concerns
The money that for me he earns.
If he and I are one, why do •
As if wo were, and Must be, two ?
For if our iutssosts combine,
Whate'er is his is also mine.
I hate to ask him every clay •
For little sums, and have him say :
"My dear, where has that dollar gone
I gave you only yestermorn ?"
'Tis strange indeed how, in his oyes,
A 80111 will swell and swell in size
When once persuaded to resign
It from his pocketbook to mine.
Flo lets ole run up heavy bilis
At two big stores, and thus fulfils,
Ile thinks, his duties unto me ;
But 1 with him do not agree.
I like to go from store to store
(As bees the fragrant buds explore)
And take from each whatever suits,
In bonnet, mantle, gloves, or boots.
I think a "common drawer" would prove
A means to strengthen faith and love ;
Or better still 'Would be were he
To bring his money all to me.
And safer. Then, too• he might learn
Toask a little in his turn,
And havo a chance as well to see
IIow very generous Iwould be.
BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
@' Dear Mr. Editor, would you not like
A. poem on the beautiful snow,
• Whioh down from the sky has fallen,
And covered the earth below.
re • I hear that tho great prophet Wiggins
Has promised ns three foot more ; ,
Oh, I wish for that very rash. promise,
Tho snow it would e0vot' 111121 o'er.
• It is all very well for the poets
To sing of the "beautiful snow,"
:But, if they hod to leave thou bads early
Arid out in the wood -shod go,
And these find that during the nighttime
7'ho beautiful snow had been in,
And had laid away on your wood.pilo
A garment so light but tot thin.
If
I fear they worth' and that the lovely,
Tho pure and the peaceable snow,
Would rouse their angry passions
As muoh as a hearty blow.
,,And if in the morning sarly
To work they did wend their way,
,And suddenly felt as if all the earth
Underneath them had gone to decay-
Ilo you think they would bless the gentle,
• Would sing the praise of that snow
• Which had covered that hole in the night-
• time,
And now had brought them low 1
I think as they rose from that hollow,
And gathered their tools together,
They would wonder what they ever ems'

BILL NYE
Ox ant 0.100E OF nocuinmN•iAEY PROOF OF
SELF DEFENCE.
Probably no legal phrase •iu com-
mon use is so little understood, and
through this ignorance so fruitful of
the long, tedious and expeneivs lit•
igation which it is said to be Pie ob•
jest of law to prevent, its the two
`harmless loolcing words of "self de-
fence." In law the term embraoes
and describes "all rho rights con•
furred upon the individual to protect
by his own acts and agencies his
property or his person against some
injury unlawfully attempted to be
inflicted by auoth r," This defini-
tion should be oommitted to mem-
ory by every school boy in the land.
Ho will then have laid the found-
ation for a knowledge of the law of
self dofense which. tuay bo of great
value to Yum in lifter life.
13ut the chief difficulty in setting
up and proving sslf•defones in a
court is two fold.
First -We must bo thoroughly
convinced that a great iujury to por-
ison or property is contemplated.
Second -We must be able to es•
tablish by proof that such injury to
person or property was so contem-
plated by the assailant at the time
of the self defence alleged.
In other words, the identity of tho
assailant and his sincere desire to
do us great injury, either to psrsou
or property, must be proved beyond
the possibility of a reasonable doubt
in tho minds of a highly intelligent
jury. This is not 60 easy a5 at first
appears. Wo must establish by
some proof that is free from bias or
prejudice that the defendant was
just in the a o '
atofi br
m gin
his hands
s
in our gore or 'about tocommita
felony when we smote him, as set
up in our defence. Therefore the
testimony of members of the family
would have little weight with an
average jury.
For these reasons, which I trust
I have made quite clear, it has 00•
currod to me that documentary evi-
dence would bo the beet. Suppos-
ing that I awake in tho night from
a sound and inn000nt elumber to
find the bull's oyo of a total stranger
shining in my eyes. I boo that he
is ransacking the po01iet5 of my
pantaloons. I start suddenly as 11
wave of horror passes the entero
length of the spinal column. The
frenzied start squeaks the costly
framework of tho richly carved

19. Please breathe hard 0n the

22. Do you ever have microbes
on your brain ?
23. If so, du you think that they
tend to dstsriorats the brain tissue,

98. If unsatisfactory answers are
maids to both the above interrog-
ations, will you please 5tato fully
what medical college yon would pre•

2D. Is the idea of a personal devil
repulsive to you.
