I know such a pretty little gill—
In my heart she's a reigning bcl'o—
Sb is no diamond in the rough,
Nor ixaded Nonpareil.
She has do-inxiox of my cask.
And by som ■ ui.vgic s. ell
She roles the lever of my roust,
Fur she is Nonpareil.
Of all that's good, and brave, .and true,
And chilli ant, too, as well,
She is a perfect I'.*uacon
She’s spun Howpircil.
She h:is such coyish, winsome ways,
Sweet face, and, truth to tell.
There is no primer lass than she,
For she is Nonpareil.
Oft in my dreams, np and down
1 cilase her through "the dell,
And try to clasp her fleeting fobm,
So like the shy gazelle;
She. blushing, tarries on the bank,
Her eyes the story tell
That I'm the only lucky qroix
Em-braced by Nonpareil.
Once, when T brought a moss r sebud
To twine in her silken hair,
I put her carmine lips to press.
And placed my imprint there;
Her form locked in my arms, she said.
‘ I'm thine! —my love, farewell!"
And off sbe tripped as I kissed my hand
To PAsn-ing Nonpareil.
THE PURE-MINDED PARROT.
If it was’nt Adirondack Murray
then it was some other clergyman
who was hunting along the wharves
the other day to find a vessel ju*t
from t’ne African coast, hoping that
some of the crew might have brought
home an . ianocent-bearted, pure- '
minded parrot, which might be pnr- !
chased at a reasonable figure, and •
trained up in the way good parrot* !
should walk and talk. The v- -
was fonnd, and the sailors had
brought back a solenoid s; eeims-n of
African parrot, and they di lu’t want
but five dolbf for it. Tin-clergy
man admired its plumage, thought
the age jr ns just il-ht. i quired after
its genera? Itwhlr, attd '*
“Has the bird yet attempted to
atter any word* ?”
“Hies* vatir top-nils, but she
talks as will as a by ten years obi,'’
replied the sailor.
“Then I dot,’ v. an! her. She has
probably ciug’nt up a great in:- y
bad expressions, atid Mi'* would not
he a fit pet for mv household.”
“Avast now!” fid Jink. “Do
von snp; use that a man like me, who
reads the good book twice a day,
would have a bad bird around him?
Stand hack and I’ll show you u hat
a Ch.ristir.n bird I’ve nude of her.’’
Giving Polly a ran on the h • and to
wake her tin, the sailor called on :
“Now, P. llv, who was the first
man ?”
“Adam,” was the prompt reply.
“That’s so, Polly. And now tell
this pond man who was di*t cast
into tbe lion’s den
“Daniel,” was the answer.
“Did yoo ever see Shch a bird be
fore?’’ asked Jack of the clergyman.
“While other parrots will blast your
eyes and bless vour parsnips, this
one turns to religion and keeps her
mind on Leaven. Now, Polly, who
was tucked away in the bulrushes
when he < too small to carry sail
for himself?’’
“Moses —Mores,” quacked the
bird.
“Dirt she a diamond ?” exclaimed
Jack trying to wink at the minister
with both eyes.
“I must confess the is the be*‘-
mindad parrot I ever saw or heard
of,’’ replied the clergyman.
“That isn’t half -he ean do, skip
per,” continued the sailor. “Now,
my clear Polly how many command
ments are there ?’’
“Ten,’’ screamed Polly.
“That’s right, old gal Now tell
the man which the first day in the
week.”
“Sunday,” was the quiet reply.
“I tell you,” remaiked Jack, as he
turned to the clergyman, “I was
bronght tip right, and I’ve been try
ing to bring that bird up right.
She’s worth twenty debars to arty
mar, but seeing you preach tti Gos
pel, you shall have her for hve.”
‘I guess I’ll ike her,’ replied the
minister, producing his wallet. As
I said before the bird is one of ten
thousand, and you deserve credit for
the care you have taken in her
teaching.’
‘I hope I do sir,’ was Jack’s mod
est reply, and then giving P Iy a
rap on the Lead, he inquired :
HAMILTON. HARRIS C0..-GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1876.
i ‘Now, then, gel your bearings and
; tell me who was going to offer his
j son ns a ssctifioe ?’
‘Abraham !' shouted tlio bird,
shaking iis leathers as if greatly
pleased.
‘You’ll sit up n’ghts to hear that
; bird talk, you will,’ said the sailor.
| ‘lf I hadn’t said five debars to you I
should say ffliy to the next man. I
i never had time to learn her, hut I
believe I could have that bird sing
■ ing tiome in just one voyage to
Liverpool. She s'arted out to sing
Old Hundred, one day when we wore
ofl St, Helena, and it the captain
hadqff yffled out jusl then, I b; ljcve
ill? bird would Lave picked t:p the
whole time like a whistle,’
The clergyman said he would go
and pnnehase a small cage iu which
to remove the bird, and he had start
ed for the rail when Jack called out:
“Just hear one more question. I
want you to appreciate this bird for
what she’s worth.”
The clergyman went hack to tb"
cage, and Jack shook up the bird,
and called oir:
“Pollv, old gal, who did the ravens
feed? Spr-ak up sharp, nosv,”
“Lij h!’’ shrieked Polly, Rooming
greatly adgered over the Shaking; and
after an interval of a few seconds she
continued:
“Where in li—l's them crackers?”
Jack and the good man looked at
each other for a moment, and then
the minister climbed slowly over the
rail, never to return—not even to get
his five-doflar 1 ill.
“See wh o you did !” yelled Jack,
as lie turned to the bird.
And all the answer that Polly
made wa* to softly say: “Cussum!”

An Editor In Iloaron.
Just as if editors were not in the
habit of going to Heaven! We’ll
venture to **y that a greater portion
of them go to that home of those
who have pe foun.d their mission of
; mercy on earth, than uni other pro
j fession or calling that poor mortals
| fill.
An editor in Heaven! There’s
nothing strange •about that, at all.
It’s almost a moral as well us profes
sional impossibility for them to go
anywhere else.
Once upon a tjipe, after tho demise
of A member oft Tic “corps editorial,”
lie presented l.im#tf at the gates of
the Holy City and requested admis
sion. The doorkeeper nuked him
what had been Ids occupation on
terra firma. He replied that he was
an editoi. Well, said the watchman,
we have a crowd of your kind here
now, and they all’came in as dead
heads. If you can qiay your passage
you can come in, if not, you must
place yourself under the control of a
personage you ruled tyrannically
down below (meaning the D>’\il).
Not having tho wherewith to go in,
our brother of*the quill and scissors
posted off anti uresented himself at
the entrance of Clootie's dark do
mains. Avery dark-complexioned
gentleman stood sentry, and asked iu
a gruff voice, “Who comes?’’ “An
Humble disciple ot Fust,” was the
calm reply. “Then hold on, you
can’t be admitted,’’ exclaimed the
gentleman in blafck, evincing consid
erable agitation, and fiercely scowl
ing on him. “ Why not?’’demanded
Hie t)po, who began to get huffish,
and looked - rrtjund for a ‘sheep’s
foot,’’ with which to force an en
trance.
“Well, sir,” replied hi.-t salvo ma
jesty, “so let one of your profession
in jn re mmiT v* nrs ago, and tie kepi:
up a centir.ual row with I,is former

Casting a droll leer at the outside
sentinel, onr typographical friend
started off again, determined to gel

him an old fi o of his paper, and pre
senting it to tlu* guardian of the Ce

Hr re is an infallible method of dis
covering the day of the week on
which a given day of month any
number of years previous occurred.
To ihe number representing vour age
at your next birthday, add one
fourth for leap years ; this amount
divided by seven, and the remainder
counted back from the day of the
week on which you were horn. For
instance, on your birthday,you w ill
be 24 year* old, divide this by 4, and
the quoieiit 5, added to 2t giv- - 30,
the amount, which divided by 7, the
number of days in a week, gives
four weeks and the remainder two
days. Now, if your birthway in

When Sunday afternoon arrives it is
plain to sea that something is about
to happen. Our young man is
fidgety and non communicative an 1
jannoi Mt in one place half a minute
at a time. He is continually inter
viewing his watch and comparing it
with the old eight--iav coffin-shape 1
j clock in the corner. He looks in the
glass frequently, and draws his
i forehead locks first b.ck and then
forward, and combs them up and
pats them down, and is unsatisfied
with the effect throughout.

guilty as if lie had been caught
stealing something and directly one
does not speak to him, he goes
back to the delightful occupation of
staring at nothing, and waiting for
the hour hand to creep around to

And at seven, he sots forth, clean
and tidy from top toe, looking pre

of a band-box.

A fcwj'days ago [b,bout dusk, a
stranger called at the residence of
a hunk cashier in St. Lotus, and in
ireducing himself said ho desired
some private conversation on busi
ness of importance. Tho cashier
thereupon led him to a private
room; gave oidi-rs that, they were
not to be disturbed, seated himself
asked his mysterious acquain'anoe to
communicate thu object of his visit.
The man coughed once or twice, and
then said :
‘Being the cashier of this hero fi
nancial institution, 'of course you
keep (lie key of tho sale ?’
The cashier said fit* did.
‘And you know about tho bank
robbers that go around and tie and
gag cashiers and their families, and
with pistols at their heads, compel
them to give np Ihe keys ?’
The cashier sail he did.
‘An i you have heard about the
Davenport brothers and the spiritu
alists and things ?’
The cashier said he had.
‘Now,’ sid the stranger, ‘l’ve
been studying up the whole business
and I hav found out how to over
come them ?’
‘You don’t say k ?’
‘Yes, sir. For five dollars I will
impart to you a secret which my at
some future time save your !i!e and
the funds entrusted to your care. I
will show yon how to untio any
scries of knots however complicated;
to remove a gag from your month,
and, in fact; to set yourself free. I
can release myself in 2 14, a:i 1 wi h
1 one week’s practice I’.l bet ilust yon
can show better than three minute*.
You ree tho advantage of my sys
tem ? Thors is no need to resist
and got shut ; all you have to do is
to let them tic you up, and as a >on
as they have taken the key and
gone, why you just let yourself lo >sc
and give the alarm.’ Tho cashier
said it was a remarkable invention.
, ‘.You bet il is,’ irnid the inventor;
.and I never tike any money for it
: ti:l my customer* arc satisfied of my
honesty in dealing-with them. Just
5 iet me gag and bind you, nnd then
I’ll give you simply directions what
j to do, and it you don’t’unloose your
; self in five minutes nnd express your
| entire satisfaction with tho process,
j I’ll give you $lO. If you find that
1 am a man of my word you’ll pay
s3.’ The cashier said that nothing
could he fairer.
‘Another thing,’ continued the
: visitor, ‘l’m a poor man, end tins
secret is my only stock in trade, so
I’ll ask you not to leach any one else
how to do it, f*>r that would spoil my
j business.’
Tho cashier consented to tho ar
rangement.
‘T ike tliis £!0 hill,’ said tho other.
‘lf I fill, yon keep it. If you arc
satisfied you will return it to me
with another *3. And now this i*
how we do it.’ fio saying ho took
a rol I of cord and a gag from his
pockets and with great dexterity tied
that cashier hand and font, and
gagged him so that he couldn’t
w ink.
‘Now yon are tied pretty firmly,
ain’t you ? You wouldn’t think you
could ever get loose, would you ?’
The cashier looked the replies he
could not speak.
‘I don’t think yon could myself
said the inventor ; find i.-t me tell
you my name, Jo*se 11. J unes the
notorious train robber, and if y "
don’t fork that key in three seconds
I’ll cut your throat from ear to ear.
I beg your pardon ; you can’t, but
I’ll take it myself. It’* no trouble.”
and turning that cashier over on his
back like a turtle, he took tho Key.
‘I won’t tako your pocket bo.d;,’ he
unid, ‘for the $lO is yours, ns 1 don’t
think you will lie able to get. loose
in five minutes, or five ours eiihc-r.
So long, sonny,’and with a con t<-
ous bow he quitted the apartment
and proceeded io the Link, where he
rilled as completely nnd leisurely as
if he had been one of the directors.

the community.
