The 'Squire on his pony low.
Young Miss sweeps out from the Pork-gate

And canters away with her beau :

And couldn't I too cut a dash and show,

The farmer is four times as fat as 1,
The 'Squire he is blind and slow,
Young Miss has net nearly so bright an eye
As Bess at the "Barit y Mow" ;—

And wouldn’t I bang bis side.
And wouldn't 1 teaeli him to gallop it, though.

Court-Room in Wheeling in 'Si.
Fot'KTii I)isTitirT, W. Y.v., >
March 11, 1887. )
To the Etlitor of the Register.
Mr. James M. Mason in the la>t i"tieof
his paper, with an evident relish, refers to
the conference which was held in the Su
preme fours room at Wheeling during the
State Convention in the -umimr of 1SSI.
As that gentleman has now a-siinied the
role of an apostle of pure methods in poli
tics. 1 hog to call his attention to a little
conversation between us immediately after
the adjournment of the conference referred
to, which he will recall. 1 was a delegate
to that convention, and went there in sup
port of the gubernatorial candidacy of Mr
Van Meter, of Hardy county. On the day
before the convention whs to meet, I was in
vited by Captain Mathews, of (Jreetibrier,
to go down to the Capitol to a little meet
ing of anti-Faulkner delegates. 1 remain
ed throughout the session of the conference
and after its adjournment. Mr. Mason was
brought, and after being introduced by a
mutual friend, said: “Mr.-, this con
ference has proven that we need twenty-five
votes to defeat Faulkner; your county has
about eighty delegates here, and I want you
to give me the names of all the Faulkner
men whom I can reach with money. I have
got the money to beat Camden’s man, Faulk
ner, and must do it, if it takes all the mon
ey, in the First National Itank <*t‘ New
York."
Mr. Mason will remember thi- conversa
tion and cannot deny it. Since he lias be
come a “political reformer" and now dep
recates the use of money in politics, I
thought it might he well to remind him of
thi- little incident.
Onto Kivkr.
Mr. Mason denies the above statement.

As a seasonable r-mark, ju-t now when
llu* red worm is 1 icing turn-si up by the
jpa-h* and tli tinny tribe begin to bile at
the dainty morsel, the fellow who would
tackle < Jrover Cleveland with a -how of suc
cess must do as the Kentucky man did the
other day. IIs “love-1 him for the fi-h he
caught." Tiie President responded :
“Dr mi Sir: 1 have received, thro igh M< --r
litacKitUrn ami iin-cKctmugc, me ukimumh
reel which you sent to me, and I l*--/
accept my sincere thanks for the same. 1 think
it is the finest piece of work in that line I have
ever seen, and the sight and the handling of it
makes me long for the time when I can put it
in use.”
Virginians have front time immemorial
followed up a reel with a breakdown, but
our Federal Executive isn't going to do any
thing of that kind.
Unconsciously the North Carolina legis
lature is monkeying with the ire of a Tar
Heel ghost in discussing the erection of a
monument to Speaker Nathaniel .Macon ol
the 7th, r?th and 9th Congresses This
statesman never would allow his portrait to
be taken, who left explicit directions that
no tombstone should be placed at bis grave,
having specially requested that it be only
marked by a heap of -tones, and that those
w ho might visit it should each add a stone
to the heap. This request ».v complied
with, and to this day the grave is only
markc<i in this manner.”
John Sherman lias gone South to cast
some electioneering anei.i.r- to the wind
ward along the coast. No use, John. The
stars and Jim Blaine are against you. The
Kennebec statesman is j-till on deck. So is
our President. Why even the Democratic
spoilsmetr generally concede that they can
not get aw ay from the man of destiny ; that
Mr. Cleveland will stick. <»ne of them
likened him the other day to a tar baby—
whether you hit him or bug him, he .sticks.”

The Depth of imitative Perfidy.
Queerer still than the caterpillar*
which pretend to be leaves or flowers for
the sake of protection are those truly di
abolical and jierfidiou* Brazilian -pilfers
which, as Mr. Bate- observed, arc hril
! liautlv coloretl with crimson and purple,
but “double them-elves up at the base of
leaf stalks so as to resemble flower buds,
| and thus deceive the insects upon which
they prey." There i- sonuthing hideoti
, ly wicked and cruel in this lowc-t depth
! of imitative inlamv. A flower bud is
’ something so innocent and childlike; and
to disguise one self as such for purjM-cs
| of murder and rapine argues the final
I aby—of arachnoid |x*rfidy. It remind*
j one of that charming and amiable young
lady in Mr. Loui- Stevenson’s “Dynanii
1 ter,” who amused herself in moments of
temjjoniry gaitvbv blowing up inhabited
houses, inmates and all, out of pure
lightness of heart and girlish frivolity.
An Indian mantis or praying insect, a
little less wicked, though no less cruel
than the spiders, deceives the flies who
come to his arm under the false pretence
of being a quiet leaf, upon which they
may light in safety for rest and refresh
ment. ^ et another abandoned member
of the same family, reiving boldly upon
the resources of tropical nature, gets it
self up as a complete orchid, the head
and fangs being moulded in the exact
image of the Ixnutifui blossom, and the
j arms folding treacherously around the
i unhappy insect which venturi - to seek
: for honey in its deceptive jaws.

marks of liis own were to mar the didac

philosopher, he was willing to have any*

happen to him. He felt some In .-nation,
indeed, about coining at all, remembering
the fate of. the first man who ever went
to a woman's dinner. Eve had oaten the
apple there and gave Adam the core,
[Laughter.] Hut he had fared, us all
the nun Meinrd to have fared, extremely
i well, and he had to say to the waiter who
brought him the ova and fruits at the
hist—what Marlin Luther had -aid at
the Diet of Worm , “find help me; I
; can take no other course.’ [Laughter
and applause.] We had supposed that
women were inflexibly apposed to club.-,
