'T ZiATH OXYGOOD OLD m At last the speckled hen has gone That hen of hens the best, She died without a sigh or groan While in her downy nest. Through Summer's heat and Winter's snow For ten long years she lay At noon and eve,-she laid an egg, Bnt none the Sabbath day. She had a nest behind the door All neatly lined with hay,. Her back was brown and sprinkled o'er With spots inclined to grey. Though fourteen years, of age almost She still looked young and bale, And like Job's turkey she could boast One feather in her tail. The neighbor's fowls did all agree She was a good old soul; Sometimes she roosted in a tree And sometimes on a pole. Whene'er the rain came pelting down . And thunderdreadful roar, She hid herself in Johnny's hat *Until the storm was o'er. She lived a plain and honest life, No higher wished to rise She flew at neighbor Sampson's wife And scratched out both her eyes. She never denied the barn yard beau His face to look upon, And loved but one whosc long shrill crow Was heard at early daw1I An aged cock who oft had told His descent with a sigh From one that crow'd when he of old His master did deny. When poor old speckled closed her eye He jumped the fence and cried; He bid the poultry al good bye And then laid down and died. ]ind reader now we'll drop a tear To Johnny's speckled hen; It is too true we ne'er shall look Upon her like again. THE TOPERS' STRAj IGE. Three ragged, wretched to rs stood shiver ing upon a street corner. T y had not a pen ny between them, and neither had dranka drop-within half an hour. 'They debated the deeply interesti:ig question-how to obtain the next glass of grog. After much miserable mut tering ver the poverty of the times, and many impracticable suggestions, one of them said: "I have an idea! We'll all go into the nex shop and drink." "Drink!" replied his c9npanions; 'that' easily said; but who's to pay V 'Nobody. Do as I tell you. I take th responsibility. Following the speakers directions, his tw< companions entered an adjoining rummery anc called for whiskey skins. The place was kep by a Dutchman. After he had waited on hi~ customers, and while they were enjoying thei orthodox beverage at the counter, in walked toper-number one. "How are ye ?"-to the Dutchman. -llow de do?" said the Dutchman. - Toper No.1.glanced sspiciously at topers ! "Do you know those men?" he asked mnys teriously. * The Dutchman stared. "I know no more as dat dey call for de whis key skins." " Don't take any money of them," whispere' No.. -"Sir? I not take money for de whiske; skins ?" said the astonished landlord. S"No. They are informers." "Ihey ! Informers ?" " Yes; they buy liquor of you so as to in form against you." " Ah ! I understand it!" said the Dutchma: man. "Dey not catch me. Tank you, sia Take sometin?" "I don't object ;" and Toper No. 1 dran: with his companmons. "What's to pay ?" said toper No. 2, puttn; his hand in his miserable empty pocket. "Nothing," said the Dutchman. "Me n sell liquor. Me keep it for my friends." And having smiled the supposed informer out of the door, ho manifested his gratitude b; generously inviting the supposed anti-informne to take a second glassa. Of course No. 1 die not decline the invitation. PoRTER'S "SrarT4 has the following: " Chorm you recklemnemper dat liddtle p'lack bonay I p'ye mit the bedlar next veck?' "Yah; vot of him?"

'Theire, Sir WVil liai," said the yotng lady, "substitute fire-work~ for music, and that epitaph will answer fom yourself." *Tae PisTor..-Ani Irishman, dlriveni to despe ration by the stringency of the money market amid the high price of provisions, procured a pis tol and took the road. Meeting ,a traveller, he stopped him willi "your money or yotirlile!" Seeing that Pat wats grecen, he saidl: "I tell you what Il do. I'll give you all mi money for that pistol."* "Agreed."

" Blizzard away, me hearty," said Pat, "divil the dhrop of powther there's in it." To onTO WAsTE.--The mediCal attendant ofteGt oui Hospital accosted an Irish ser vant at the door of the same the otherday, with: "Did you kive the medicine as I told you ?"

A Western editor, in noticing a new and splendid hearse, thinks "it will al'ord much sat isfaction to those who use it." "DON'T rob yourself," as the farmer said to the lawyer who called him hard names. CARRIAGE, MANUFACTORY.
