ENVY.
WILLIE VISITING IN THE COUNTRY.
I wlh "at 1 lived out here, 4
Where there are hills to climb,
And where a bo can slide down like .
A flash. In wlnur lime,
Where they are drifts to tumble Is
And ponds to skate upon
I wish my Cousin John was me
And I was Cousin John!
I'd like to have a colt to ride
And lambs 'n' things to pet.
With apples In the cellar, and i
Drink milk that's ttnmln' vet; j
I'd like to lle where I could whoop '
Around uiih all my might
And never have to be afraid
A cop would come In sight.
It's Jolly sitting In tho sled i
When uncle drives to town, "
And lets the horses walk up hUl
And makes them gallop down!
I fa Jollv getting out lnhlnd,
Sometimes,. arc? harglng on
I wish ir Cousin John was me '
And I was Cousin John!
IOHNNY VISITING IN THE C1TT.
I wish 'at 1 lived here, where things
Are all set at the door,
And where jou fc so many sights
You never saw before;
I'd like to ride In nice, warm cars
That whiz along the street, .
Instead of in a bobsled, where
You nearly freeze your feet.
They never have no wood to chop.
Nor cows nor sheep to lend;
They never have to carry slop
To where the pigs are penned); ,
They never cariv water from
A well that's faraway.
Nor ever night and morning feed
The Mock a tun of hay. I
They never have no cows to milk, j
I Nor other chores to do, j
j And every time they turn around '
They look at something new;
There's always lots that's going on,
I The streets are I ever still
1 wish that Cousin Will was me,
And I was Cousin Willi

anecdote of the late Mr. Francis Mac
donagh,, Q. C, who, sajs the Oreen
Bag, was for upward of 40 jears the
recftgnired leader of the Irish bar:
"I remember once in the early glory
of my wig and gown I got a case for
an opinion. The solicitor thought it
a very simple case, or he would not
have sent it to me. I thought so,
too. With the touching confidence of
the neophyte, I took my pen and be
gan: " 'I am clearly of opinion.'
"Xovv it happened that I sat in the
law library beside the Filver-haired
silken nestor of the Irish bar, a lead
er of unfathomable astuteness. This
elder chanced to glance over my
shoulder as I wrote.
" 'My dear young friend, he said,
softly we were all his dear joung
friends 'never write that jou are
c!carly of opinion on a law point.
The most jou can hope to discover is
the preponderance of the doubt.' "

aminer he was especiallj- amiable, perhaps-
too much so. Once he had a c.ifs
of girls to examine, and gave them all
good marks, A fellow inspector no
ticed it, and objected that some of the
giris mut have been more clever than
others-. "Perhaps that is- so," said Ar
nold, "but what could I do? You ee,
