fMtrg. 801 l It Down. Whatever yon have to nay, my friend, Whether witty, or grave, or gay, Condense a* much a» ever you can, And nay it in the readiest way; And whether yon write of rural affaire, Or scribble of things in town, Just take a word of friendly advice— Boil it down. For if yon go aputtcrmg over a page When a couple of lima wonld do, Yonr butter i« spread so thin, yon see, That the bread peeps plainly throngh ; So, when you have a story to tell, And yon wonld liko a little renown, To make (jnite sure of your wish, my friend, Boil it down. When writing an article for the press, Whether prose or verse, just try To ntter yonr thoughts in the fewest words, And let them be crisp and dry; And when it is finished, and yon suppose It is done exactly brown, Jnat look it over again, and then Boil it down. For editors do not like to print An article lazily long. And the general reader does not care For a couple of yards of song; Ho, gather yonr wits in the amalleat space, If yon'd win the author’s crown, And every time you write, my friend, lioil it down. Counting Twenty-live, I found the cherished face of Maria Ann wreathed in smiles, the other evening, when I returned from my ar duous daily toil. (I am engaged as standing man at a saloon. So muny candidates are treating, that the saloon keeper hires six of us to be treated. — We all drink with every candidate who comes inland it makes business pretty brisk.) Said my chosen one, 'Joshua, lam afraid you do not always find me an an gel in disposition.’ Said I, ‘That’s so—hie—my dear, I don’t seldom find you ’nangel in—in anything.’ ‘And, she added, ‘yon aro not alwnys the most pleasant, man in the world.' I did not feel culled on to reply. ‘Now,’ said she, ‘read that.’ She had cut an item from the col umns of some paper wherein a demented writer told about some impossible wo man who, being troubled with a bad temper, counted twenty-five every time she got provoked, and thus became a sweet, amiable, and dearly loved orna ment of the house of her delighted hus band, I read the article as well as the condition of my head would allow, and remarked ‘Bosh.’ Muria Ann paid no attention to me, but unfolded her plan. She Bald that every time I got mad 1 should count twenty-five, and every time she got mad she woul count twenty-five. 1 asked her who the d—l she thought would pay our rent while we sat and counted twen ty-live, over and over all day long.— Then she said 1 was always raising ob jections to her plans for out mutual improvement, and I said I was not, and she said I was enough to try the pa tience ot a saint, and I said she was too, andishe ‘came for me,’ and I told her to count twenty-five ; hut she for got all about that, and tallied ono in my loft eye. Then I was going to remonstrate with the poker, and she told mo to count twenty-five, and I said 1 would not; but I did before she had pulled more than half my hair out. Then she made me cout twenty-live over and over, until I was out of breath and felt real pleasant and good-natured. So we went to supper. Now, the cat was ouiled up in my chair, but I did not see it until 1 sat down ; and I did not see it then, but I was pretty sure it was there, in fact I knew it was ttiere as well as I wanted to, and more too. I felt inclined to rise up suddenly, but as I gathered to spring she brandished the tea-pot and murmured ; ‘Joshua, your temper is rising; count twenty fi\e or 111 break your head,' and that cat drawing a map of the Tenth Ward with her claws around behind me with the streets and boundaries marked in my blood. I rose to explain, and said, ‘My dear—l —’ but she caromed on my head with a well-shot teacup, and sprinkled my face with a quart of hot ti a, and I sat down and counted twenty five ; but it killed the cat. The old fellow died hard, though. I could feel him settle as his nine lives went out one by one. A few day’s practice of this rule, un der the loving instruction of Maria Ann, has enabled me to conquer my temper completely. Nobody can get me mad now. I am in a state of perpetual calm aud I want to see the man that wrote that story. I want to tit him for the hands of and undertaker, and make a demand for mourning goo is among his friends. Then I can die happy— count ing twenty-five. A case of shocking cruelty to a child eight years old, has been developed iu Jersey city.
