BABY-IA9D.
How many miles to Baby-Land ?
Any one can toll:
Up one flight,
To your right—
Please to ring the bell.
What can yon see in Baby-Land ?
Little folks in white,
Lowny heads.
Cradle beds.
Faces pare and bright
What do they do in Baby Land ?
Dream, and wake, and play,
Langb and crow,
Shoot and grow—
Jolly times have they.
What do they say in B&by-Land ?
Why, the oddest things;
Might as well
Try to tell
What a birdie sings.
Who is tho Queen of Baby Land?
Mother, kind and sweot;
And herlove,
Born above, \
Guides the little feet
Sharpers on the Bail.
.rhvjllo American, Jan. 3.
A trio of three-card monte men came
on the Northwestern railroad yester-
y morning. Some six or eight ot
jse gentry are now in Nashville, and
would he well for the public to be on
3 lookout for them. They are' from
Mind MeKinzie, Union City and
ost Station, where a large gang of
jm have their headquarters. Within
listance of thirty-six miles four rail-
ids cross the Northwestern. This
res the rascals ample opportunity to
ip from one to anothc-r, and, at the
ne time, to get out of the State into
ississippi, Kentucky or Missouri, to
;ape prosecution. Once out of TeD-
ssee, a requisition would be required
return them, and but few “suckers,”
they satirically dub their victims,
te the time to follow them. They
3y upon Texas immigrants and un-
phisticated people generally.
A day or two ago one of these sharp-
1 robbed an old gentleman on his way
>m Ea3t Tennessee to Port Worth,
ixas, of 8500, by presenting a check
: 8750 and asking him to cash it, as
3 confidence man was in great dis-
ess. Ho was also traveling to Fort
orth and he would see the money was
id on reaching that point. The old
ij?man bit at the trap set for him,
d gave-over the amount asked. When
3 conductor came in he showed the
eck and asked whether it was good.
“Goc-d 1” remarked the conductor,
by, sir, it is no better than a blank
jce of paper I”
! ‘Wher« is he gone?”
“Who?” asked the conductor, as he
ised punching the old man’s ticket.
‘Why the' man who gave me this
eck.”
“Gone where the woodbine twineth,
nbtless,” said the conductor, as he
iked up a sleeping passeoger with the
iphatic call ot “Tickets.”
‘Gone! gone! gone! I’m ruined !”
,rly shrieked the old man. “I gave
? i 8500—every cent I had—with
ning left to buy my breakfast to-
\rrow. And theD, what will the old
♦man say ? Phew! there’s the devil
fore me and the devil behind me.
>ung man, I am in a fix—terrible!
jrible! terrible!” and he sat down
‘d cried. Going to the next car he
a ted the circumstances to his wife.
%en he had reached the point wnere
h loss came in, her anger knew no
unds.
‘You stinking old fool,” said she, “I
a rays thought you had no sense, and
rW I know it.”
gYes,” said a grown-up son, as be
*red scornfully at the old man, “moth-
Is right; you are a darned old tool,

Gan Saba (Texas) News: S. Y. Yoe,

Josh Billings Proverbs.
This life is a game of cards. We
most play the hands dealt to ns, and
the credit is not so much in winning as
in playing a poor band well.
When I hear a man bragging about
what he did last year, and. what_ he is
going to do next year, I can tell pretty
near what he is doing now.
Don’t despise your poor relations.
They might get rich some time, and
then it would be so hard to explain
things.
The reputation a man gets from his
ancestors wants about as much altering
to fit him as their clothes would.
There is no woman stationed on the
face of the earth who tries so hard to
do right and fails ofteuer than the aver
age mother-in-law.
An enthusiast is an individual who
believes about four time as much as he
can prove, and can prove four times as
much as anybody else will believe.
Falling in love i3 like falling down
stairs; it’s hard work to find out j'usi
how the thing was done.
A man who has been waiting for the
last fifteen years for something to turn
up, is still in the sumo business.
A poodle is a woman’s pet, and
have seen some I would like to swap
living with.
Mice can live anywhere comfortably
but in a church; they fatten very slowly
in a churcti. This proves that they
can’t live on religioo any more than a
minister can.
The worst tyrant in this world is a
woman who is superior to her husband
and lets everybody know it.
Love is like the measles, you can’t
have it but once, and the later in lift-
we have it, the tougher it goes with
us.
Great thinkers are not apt to be great
whistlers. When a man can’t think of
anything he begins to whistle.
The man you can have to work on a
farm for nothing and board himself
just about earns his wages.
Neatness, in my opinion, is one of
the virtues. I have always considered
it twin sister to chastity, but none work
so hard as the victim of ecstatic neat
ness. I have seen neat persons who
would not let a weary fly rest long
enough on their wall paper to take
breath, and who would chase a singh
cockroach up and down stairs until hit-
legs were worn off.
Her Last Sad Bequest.
Kansas City Times.
“So you love me, do you?” inquired
a sweet girl of the youth who had bei-i
talking to her. “That’s bad. What
have I done to deserve it? Have I not
always treated you well?”
“You have, you have,” was the ear
nest response. “But wiiat is bad, oh,
pride of my heart?”
“I trust,” she went on, musingly
‘you will not select the usual weapon
If I must die I want to go off in some
unusual way—not in the stereotyped,
the common -and vulgar way. Oh.
promise me that you will not disap
point me in this 1 It is my last request.”
“Why, what do you mean?” in
quired the youth, staring at her.
“I mean that I am obliged to refuse
you. I am engaged to Mr. Smith
You will kill me, of course. It is right
that you should. I; is the usual way.
But pray, pray 1 do it with a dagger.
Do not use the vulgar revolver. Lei
there be something nice and original
in this tragedy. As I have said be
fore, it is my last request.”
“It shall be as you say,” he replied
in a husky voice; and in proof of his
nonorable intentions he fired his re
volver in the air and rushed to the
nearest hardware establishment.
Capital Pu ishment.
The Legislature of Maine passed a
law last year abolishing capital punish
ment. It is stated in the Law journal
that, as a very natural cousequence,
there has been a marked increase ot
capital crimes. Barely a year has
elapsed since the last law was adopted,
and in that time no less than eleven
cruel and unnatural murders have oc
curred in the State, while during the
previous year, when the death penalty
existed, there was but one. Iowa has
bad a similar experience. Prior to the
abolition of hanging for murder, such
crimes were very rare. But for the
past few years it has acquired an un
enviable notoriety for the number and
gravity of its homicides and other
crimes. A similar result has been ob
served in other States.

Guard your tougne. In society si
lence is held to be ill-mannered, and
entertainers and entertained are oblig
ed to keep up the form and sound of
conversation. How many persons say
things they do not mean because they
must talk! Scandal gets wings in this
way where there is no malice. Why
should there not be a fellowship of
looking at pictures, at books, at nature,
at one another? What natural necessity
is there for tho tongue to be the more
essential organ of social feeling.
It is related of Gen. Jubal Early that
he would never approve a furlough
when the applicant was to get married.
Being an old bachelor himself, he
thought ti at all soldiers should adopt
that style of life while the war lasted.
He used to say that every officer who
married either proved himself utterly
worthless or straightway got himself
killed. _ ^
We are what we are; we cannot he

to the character which Heaven has
given us.
It is the most beautiful truth in mor
als, that we have no such thing as a
