Tlio aspirations of tho Vermont Domo

theso various ofliees.
Tho momentou8 question with the
Domocrats of Vermont is whcther the
spoils of ofllco Viill bo distributed soon
after tlio inauguration or later in tho

Club specch, in which ho declared that
tho partv could not kccp tho support of
a majonty of its voters Uy a distribution
of spoils and pcrsonal favors, is rather
signidcant.
If Mr. Cloveland follows tho rulo of

NUTLEV HAS LOST ITS JOY.
Nutloy, N. J., that scat of inusic, art
and litorature, situated upon tho New
ark brancli of tho Eno Railroad over
looking tho beautiful Vatltacan Rivcr,
had a sinall celebration on Saturday
niglit, when it becaino known that Mr.
II. C. Biinncr, tho rcspcctablo profession
al poet, who is editorof I'uck, had dis
posed of his only doukoy, and that Joy's
high baritono would no longer disturb
tlio slumbois of his neiglibors. Red iiro
was burnod on the road in front of Mr.
Bunner'slawn, and a fceling of hilarity
took posscssion of his neiglibors. Nut
lcy reioiced becauso itwas Joyless.
Every resident in Nutloy will swear
that last March Mr. Bunner boucht a
dnnkov. Iu a spirit of sarcasm this doiv
kov was christened Joy. IIo had a habit
of RleeDimr in tho davtimo.
Tlio artistic citizens of Nutloy liavo a
habit of sleoping at niglit. Joy's vocal
operations wero conflned to tho timo
when tho other Nutloy inusicians wero
accustomcd to sleop. Joy would begin
at G and roam ad libitum tlirough tho
major and minor scales, occasionally iu
estatic momeuts roachiug C sharp.
A syndicato was formed in Nutloy
during tho summer to purchaso Joy.
Mr. Bunner believed that his heartless
neiglibors liadconceived a wickcd plot
to annihilato tho tuneful beast. IIo
spuriicd .in olTor, it is said, which tho
owncr of a fino trottcr mighthavO graspcd
at.
That night Joy rendercd an allcyro
obUijato that would havo cntranccd a
Germau band. It was so rcalisiic 'Jiat
Mr. Bunner oould thuikof no other werd
to rhymo with "ilncfna" than "pitna
cea." Iu an old Latin work which ho was
poring overMr. Buiiner camo across a
paragraph which statcd that a donkey
could not bray without straightening
out his tail, and ho begau experimcnts
upon Joy, with a vicw to lindiog how
much woight was ueccssary to hold
dowu a Uoiikoy's bray,
When ho found tho hsppy mcdiuin ho
ttecl a stono of tho propcr weignt to
Joy's tail. Tho noxt night silence brood
ed over Nutloy, and tho night after that
sho brooded somo morc. But on tho
fourth, after a tow preliminary trills and
quavers, Joy's voico aroso iu a sympliony
tnat lasted lor lung.
First tho movoinent was andantc, then
it becamo allcyrello, then alleyo vivace,
and it wouiid up with a triumphant
afejroiirofio.
Mr. Bunner was wiitimr a poem tho
ordinary occup.itiou ot a rcspeotablo pro
fessional poet. For an iustantho could
ltardly move, so astonished was ho.
Then ho stolo soflly out of tho houso.
Thero iu tlio p.do mooiilight stood Joy,
his feet on tlio ground, his tail, with tho
heavy weight tied to it, resting on tlio
second step of the porch, lookiug at its
owuer with au expiession of placid en
joymcnt. "Joy," said tho poctsadly, "wo raust
oart."
'Haw-lie-liawl" roinarked Joy.
"But roniembcr, you brought it all up
on yourself," tlio poet went on.
"Ilaw-he-haw-he-lia w !"
"Joy, you'ro an ass!" And tho poet
re-cuteied liis liouso. Tho sequelis bcst
told in Mr. Bunuor's owu woids:
"Tho day after Thauksgiviiig was
cold. Everything was chilly aud damp.
A mean wind blew out of tho northeast.

adviscd mo to scll him my donkey. I
followed his advice. I hopo that Joy,
