Gaily I Sing.
In eareet simplicity,
Passes each happy dy.
Roaming at liberty,
Far, far away.
There, with the merry bird?,
Who, at the morn, takes wing,
Warbling their Joyou? lay.
Gaily I sing.
There in a simple cot,
With friends I love so well,
Though humble be my lot.
Happy I dwell'
From morning, till the night
I rove amid the bowers,
And pass away the time
Culling sweet flowers.
“Fifty Dollars, or I Scream.”
The pranks of a lady—at least in
appearance—along Ibe line of the
Missouri Pacific rail road recently,
have caused the depletion of the pock
et-books of several hotel proprietors at
different towns, and among them W*r
rensburg, and while the money was
parted with, there is still at lent peace
in the landlords’ household. It will
suffice to narrate how this female “did
her little job” at Warrensburg, as re
lated to a Dispatth reporter;
She visited the town in the capaci
ty of a book agent, to impress upon
the incredulous the advantage to bo
gained by a subscription to the “most
interesting and instructive work ever
published.” Arriving in town at noon,
she immediately went to a hotel,
which shall be nameless, and regis
tered, She was shown to a room and
mado her toilette. Tho next step was
to ring a bell which ushered a boy in
her presence,to whom she communica
ted the fact that she desired to see
the landlord. The message wus de
livered to the landlord, and in the
course of a few imputes he met her
face to face in her room. As he en
tered the room she quietly lockod the
door, and placing tho key in her pock
et, said :
“Now, Mr. ,1 wish to have a
few moments’ chat with you.”
“Well, ma’am,” replied the land
lord, “what you have to say, say it
quickly, for I am in a hurry.”
In a very self-composed manner the
book ageut drew herself up, and said
she: “Now, Mr. you are a married
man, are you not?”
“Yes, ma’am” again replied tho hus
band.
“Well, then,” said tho book agent,
“if you have any respect for yourself
or family, pay mo fifty dollars or I
will scream.”
The landlord was bewildered, and
being a mild-mannered man protest
ed only iu well-rounded phrases.
This but made matters worse and de
siring to avoid a disagreeable reflec-j
tion upon his wife and children lie '
agreed to pay her fifty dollars, which
he did, and on the evening train she
left for Pleasant Hill, where, it is said,
she played the same game.
The landlord at Warrensburg thiuks
it rather expensive to pay fifty dollars
to keep a woman from screaming, but
there are only a few who know of it,
and being a rather dignified gentle
man, and one whose private character
is spotless, he is not joked about it.—
St. Louis Dispatch.
A Colored Verdict. —Iu a town in
Mississippi, two colored men were ar
rested on a charge of burglary. The
jury before whom they were tried
were also colored. After the case was
tried all retired and made up a ver
dict, which was anncunced to the
court. On being called, the Judge;
asked for the verdict, which the fore
man delivered:
‘Dis jury find dat one o! do cuses
busted into de sto,’ an’ stole dat ba
can, and dat de odder didn’t do nuf
fin.’
‘Which one do you find guilty ?’
asked the court.
Dat’s de question, boss,’ returned
the foreman; dat’s jes what we can’t
find out, and I recommend dat de ’on
orable coat jes hab anoder trial an’
find out which one ob dem two nig
gers stol’ dat bacon.’
An apple shook its blossoms 0.1
the earth and made it bright and beau
tiful, and yet the tree was uot impov
erished, but soon replenished its
branches with fruit it could not have
produced had it retained the blossoms.
Whoever will, may make his life the
tree, and scatter the flowers of happi
ness all over the earth.
t&r If we once truly love, we love
forever. There is no time in real af
fections as far as this life is concerned
—it has no existence—or, it is an
eternity, nothing save the proved
worthlessness of the object of our re
gard can rend the bonds of affection.
A wag, one evening, pulled
down a turner’s sign and put it over
a lawyers door; in the morning it

ing done here.”
