JUNE ROSES.
O, sing of l In roses,
The beaul Iful rosf s,
Adorning the warm, pulsing bosom of June, ;
Exult in the swr mess.
Extol th< ir completeness.
And only lament they must perish so soon, j
0, sing of the roses,
The Kimvy, white roses,
The pink an<l the roses with hue of a star,
The cb-op-hued, the tinted—
Give praises unstinted—
0, sing of all roses, anear and afar!
They climbon rock-ledges.
They grow amid hedges.
And choicely are cultured within garden wall; ;
Or lofty or lowly,
Or sinful or holy,
Their fragrance and beauty are free to us all j
O, stately the dahlia,
And fair the azalea.
And countless the blossoms they cheer us to
view;
But what, like the roses,
8uch beauty discloses,
Hindi wonderful beauty ol form and of hue ?
Then sing of the roses,
The beautiful roses,
Or scentless, or filling the air with perfume, j
They lessen our satin ss.
They bring to us gladness,
The roses that gem the fond bosom of June.
A Sad Prairie Dog Story.
Chicago’ Mail.
“Did you ever see a prairie dog?’’
asked a countryman of the Mail.
“Only those in the park. Why?”
“Well, I was just thinking of a boy
hood scene in which the cunning lit
tle prairie dog was a very prominent
figure.
“When I was a little boy my father
moved from Iloosierdom over upon a
broad and blooming prairie in Illinois.
That prairie, stretching as far as the
eye could see to the north and west,
was one vast garden of flowers from
April to November. There must have
been a hundred variet ies of wild bloom
ing plants, ranging from the lowly
strawberry, with its white blossoms, to
the gaudy, flamboyant wild marigold,
whoso oriental splendors gave vivid
color to miles and miles of undulating
plain.
“But this by the way. 1 started to
speak of the prairie dogs. The flowers
were scarcely more numerous than
they. You might ride for miles along
a path flanked on either side by their
villages, which were seldom more than
a few rods apart. These villages, al
ways on some knoll, were populous.
The horseman who approached one of
t hem would see a sentinel sitting grave
ly motionless at the door of every bur
row. One could scarcely tell these
sentries from bits of wood, so still and
straight were they, so much a part in
seeming of the great, silent landscape.
“Hut, even if there was a case of
‘now you See it and now you don’t,’
those little sentinel prairie dogs offer
the traveler a striking example, lie
sees them there, as silent and impres
sive as the sentries of Pompeii, and
wonders what they will do when lie
gets closer. lie keeps hP eye fixed on
two or three of them and unconscious
ly checks his horse, so that the clatter
of hoofs may not startle them. He is
within fifty, thirty, twenty paces,
when—lo ! the sentries are gone! He
has not seen them. He rubs Ins eyes
and rides on, wondering if it were all
an illusion. He looks back to assure
himself, when—lo! the sentries are
there 1—as still and statuesque as be
fore.
“One time my father trapped four or
live of them. 1 don't know how he
managed it; I’ve forgotten that. I
think they must have been young and
foolish, like baby rats, which ven
ture where their pa and ma would nev
er go. My father brought them home,
and we children hugged ourselves in
delight as we fancied them as pretty
pets like squirrels or white rabbits. A
cage was quickly fitted up; the captives
Were placed in it ami surrounded by all
the dainties which we fancy could
: tempt them to forget their captivity.
Our parents kept us away from the
[cage, as the little strangers regarded us
with a terror which they did not at
tempt to conceal. But we went to
place more food before them the next
morning. The food previously provid
ed had not been touched. The little
prisoners sat wearily on their haunches
in the dark extremity of their cell.
Childish curiosity was repressed till t he
[second morning, when the cage was
again visited. The captives sat in the
-same position, and no morsel of the va
ried bill of fare with which we had de
signed to tempt them had been touch
ed.' The water was uudimiuished in
the bowl. Another day passed, the
third morning came, and we ran out to
see our pets. The sight that met our
eyes 1 shall never forget. In their
hunger and despair the poor capti\es
had eaten their own feet. The bloody
stumps were a sail and sickening re
proof of our cruelty in depriving the
children of the prairie of their wild,
sweet.liberty. We felt it, children a>
we were, and silently, almost in tears,
we opened the prison doors and slipped
away to give the captives opportunity
to escape. But it was too late. With
their feet gnawed off up almost to their
little bodies, they could scarcely more
hun drag themselves out and creep
twav into the grass, where they >oon
Eter died.
Some Ideas of Dignity.
kisio•, Li. va'.ii.
Ilu a country town not far i'r. .n !’• -
Bn there is a man who has been. u.
ing long and hard to get into some
political office. A good many things
seemed to get pretty nearly within his
grasp, when, with a sort of fatal mock
ery, they would be sure to elude him.
His neighbors knew that what chiefly-
stood in his way was liis opinionized
and overbearing ignorance, but of
course this point never dawned upon
himself. He only realized that he was
waxing better off, and longed for some
sort of public power.
At last, and chiefly through the inter
vention of a popular neighbor, he was
made a justice of the peace. This was
better than nothing, and it set him up
accordingly. Still, the days went on.
and nothing came in his way to afford
him an opportunity to exercise his
newly found power.
At last a rough-and-ready neighbor
came m one day to testify in regard to
something to which he had been a wit
ness. He stalked in in his usual sullen
manner, his hat on his head, and stood
before the new justice.
“I)o you know you’re going to be
sworn, sir?” thundered the new offi
cial.
'blie sullen visitor nodded.
“Then off with your hat, sir!” roared
Hie justice. “Don’t you know any bet
ter than to come into the presence of
me and Hod with your baton?”

There was a bridal couple coming in
on the Bay City train the other day,
and the passengers in that particular
car were on the grin most of the time
over their antics. The bride had got
the man she loved, and she didn’t care
a copper who saw her pillow her head
on his shoulder. The bridegroom hail
got a farm with his wife and if he want
ed to feed her on gum drops or squeeze
her hand whose business was it? A
little old man, dried up and barehead
ed, sat directly in front of the couple,
and he looked around so often that
the young husband finally explained:
“We’re just married.”
“I knoweil it all the time,” chuckled
baldhead.
“And we can’t help it, you know.”
“No you can’t—I’ll be darned if you
kin!”
“I presume it all seems very silly to
an old man like you,” continued the
husband.
“Does it! Does it!” cackled the old
fellow as lie bobbed around. “Wall,
you bet your life she doesn’t. I’ve
been right thar three times over, and
I’m <3ii my way to Canada to marry
a fourth! You orter see me a week
hence. I’ll hug and squeeze and fon
dle at the rate of forty miles an hour,
and darn the skunk that laffs at me!
Silly! Why, children, it’s parrydise
biled right down!”

Even the Twelve Apostles are being
bet upon in these degenerate days.
Thursday a well-known young “blood”
of Athens, while in company with
some friends, started a diccussion on
scriptural matters and wound up
by offering to bet his hearers thar
none of them coukl name the Twelve
Apostles. When tin- offer was reduced
to So it was eagerly accepted, but after
repeated trials it was found that nor j
one of the numerous guessers could get j
beyond ten, and only one succeed d in
reaching that number.
When asked at Macon Friday night j
what appointment he had made for tin
Secretaryship of the State Agricultu- j
ral Society. President Northen said he '
had no authority to make any appoint
ment, nor was there any provision for i
filling the office other than by annual i
election by the Executive Committee, i
Each member of the committee has j
been written to, and their replies will |
settle the appointment temporarily. If j
is understood that there are now seven j
applicants for the position.
At an agricultural meeting the other j
day “tin* best way to keep the girls on j
the farm” was discussed. No conclu
sion was reached, but we think a barb-!
ed wire fence six feet high, minus
gates, surrounding the farm would j
solve the problem. A boy takes his j
life in his hands when he attempts to |
crawl over or under or through a barb
ed wire fence, and he doesn’t wear a
bustle, either.

“The trouble with women,” said
Smitherimykins, “is that they want us
to have fun their own way. They want
us to sit in the house and talk about
the weather, sir; to discuss the eternal
mysteries of dress-making and cooking,
sir; anil to read novels, -sir, and wor
ship babies. They can’t see why a
man should want to go to a club or a
public dinner, sir, or take in a base
ball game or a horse race. They want
us to do as they do and enjoy ourselves
their way, sir. But did you ever hear
of a man wanting a woman to have fun
in his way? No, sir; not much, >1r.
You never heard of any man’s trying
to persuade his wife to go around the
corner, sir, to a nice quiet place, sir,
where some very elegant gentlemen
were engaged in a rubber of cards, sir,
and to smoke cigars and drink beer
with the party, sir, and sit up till the
cock had made himself hoarse with
crowing, sir, and then meander home
singing. Did you ever hear of any
man’s trying to persuade s. woman to
have fun that way—his way? No, sir;
not by a jug-ful, sir.”
The average weight of a man’s heart,
says the Medical News, is eleven ounces
and a woman’s only nine ounces.
Thus, when they give and take or ex
change hearts, man is loser, quality be
ing equal. Man’s average brain is forty-
nine and a half ounces and woman’s for
ty-four. The average weight for botli
lungs is for men forty-five ounces and
for women thirty-two.
“You seem to be enjoying yourself,
Bobby,” remarked one of the guests at
a dinner party.
“Yes,” assented Bobby, with his
mouth full, “I am making the most of
it, ’cause after pa an’ ma gives a big i
dinner like 11iis, it’s always cold pickin’
for the next thirty days.”
“Did your son take the valedictory in
college,” said a gentleman to a lady
who was enthusiastically praising the
ability of her offspring.
“No, indeed, he didn’t,” she replied
with pride, “he didn’t take anything.
He is the healthiest boy you ever saw.”
“Mister,” lie pleaded, “I have lost a
leg, and ” “Yes, so I see. It’s
mighty provoking to lose anything. I
lost a dog once that I had often tried to
give away, but I was mad about it just
the same.”

The two-thirds rule in Presidential
nominations was adopted by the Dem
ocratic party in 1S30, for the purpose of
defeating President Van Buren’s re-
nomination. Mr. Van Buren was the
strongest candidate before the conven
tion, but the forces of the opposing
candidates, led by Robert J. Walker,
of Mississippi, united in the demand
that a two-thirds vote be required to
nominate. The debate on the motion
consumed the greater part of one day,
Messrs. Walker, of Mississippi, Dickin
son. of New' York, and Hubbard, of
Connecticut, favoring the proposition,
and Mr. Butler, a New York lawyer,
leading the opposition forces. Mr.
Van Buren’s friends lost, the two-thirds
rule being adopted by a vote of 148 to
118, and James K. Polk being nominat
ed for President. As a reward for his
work in the convention, Mr. Walker
was made Secretary of the Treasury
under Polk. Of the men who were
prominent in the convention, the ven
erable George Bancroft is the only one
who is known to survive.
