Al' Mlstah Trouble, he come aroun'
one day,
An' say: "I gwlnter git you, bo you
better run away!
I likes to see you hustle. Dat's de
way I has my fun.
I know I can ketch up to you, no mat
ter how you run!"
I says: i'Mlstah Trouble, you has
been a chasin' me
Ever since I can remember an I's
tired as I kin be.
So I's gwlnter stop right here a a'
turn aroun' a-facln' you,
-An' lick you if I kin an' fin' out jes'
what you kin do."
Ol' Mlstah Trouble he looked mightily
ashamed.
He acted like a buckln' hoss dat's
suddenly been tamed.
An' den he turned an' traveled off, a-
hollerln', "Good day;
I ain't got time to fool aroun' wif
folks dat acts dat way."

LITTLE BOY BLUE.
The little dog Is covered with dust,
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust.
And his musket moulds In his hands
Time was when the little toy dog was
new
And the soldier was passing fair;
And that was the time when our Little
Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there
"Now don't you go till I come," he
, said,
"And don't you make any noise!"
So, toddling off to his trundle-bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys;
And, as he was dreaming, an angel's
song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh! the years are many, the years are
long.
But the little toy friends are true!
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue they
i - stand,
Each In the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of a little face;
And they wonder, as waiting the long
years through,
In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue,
Since he kissed them and put them
there.

DAY DliEAJIS.
I long for the days of the barlow
knife,
And the sore toe tied with yarn;
For the "inuinblepeg" and the "Boston
taw"
In the shade of the moss-grown
barn.
I even yearn for a stone bruised heel,
Or a back burned Ted by the sun;
For my old-time zest for my couch of
rest
I had when the day was Cone.
I long for the days of the "sight un
seen," And the peg tops spun with twine;
For my old-time place down at second
base
As one of the village "Nine."
I even yearn for the finger split;
Or the thumb with a ragged slit;
Or the old-time lunib on my bulging
brow
That showed where the baseball hit.
I long for the days of the swiminin'
hole; '
And the "swish" of the old fish line;
For the "crockies," "aggies," "glas
sies" and
The "naelies" that once were mine.
I even yearn for the blistered hands
That came from the old grub hoe;
Forthe appetite that came with night
In the days of the long ago.
I long for the days that are long, long
dead,
When my heart was free from care;
For the sunny hours when my boyish
soul
Was as light as the summer air,
But, thank the Lord, I am living yet,
And I thank Mini, too, that I
Can sit at ease when the day is done
And dream of the days gone by.

There's one sad thing about it, though,

THE COMET.
Those who have investigated
the matter inform us that Hal
ley's comet is now on exhibition
about 4 o'clock in the morning.
The show is not worth the price
of admission, however, for the
comet at this time does not
differ much from an ordinary
cheap star. Its tail is not long
enough to attract any particular
attention even among othev
heavenly bodies without any
tails at all. Along about May
18th the comet will have ac
quired a tail worth talking
about. At that time it will ap
pear in the west just after sun
down and those who are inter
ested can view this wanderer of
the heavens without losing any
sleep. It is figured by some
long whiskered scientists that
the earth will pass through the
immense tail of the comet. What
the consequences may be we do
not know, but it would be well
to be ready for the comet when
it cometh. Those who have any
repenting to do should manage
to have it all done and be ready
to look the comet in the eye.

A LITERARY DISPUTE.
Richard Le Gallienne, the
poet, said at a dinnc at the
Hotel Westminister in New
York :
Literary disputes are inter
esting if properly conducted.
Too many of them, however, are
suggestive of the Shakespearan
dispute in Tin Can.
"Prof. Bill Billus of the Tin
Can Dancing Academy deliver
ed a lecture in the Lone Hana
Saloon, and in the course cf
his argument recited, 'The Boy
Stood on the Burning deck,' &
gem, he declared from Shake
spear's 'Othello.'
"But an interrupter arose and
strode forward.
" 'I am a Boston gent,' said
the interruptor, 'and I certify
that no Shakespeare never wrote
that piece.'
" Friend,' said Prof. Bilius,
gently, 'I can convence you that
he done so.'
" 'Convene away,' said the
Bc?tonian skeptically.
"So Prof. Bullus, led off with
his right foot, and followed up
the argument with a brass cus
pidor, falling, in the subsequent
clinch, on top.
"'Who writ the piece?' he
shouted, as he pumpelled his
opponent steadily.
" 'Shakespeare,' the Boston ian
answered in smothered tones
from beneath.
"'Are you sure?' asked the
professor.
" 'Dead sure,' was the reply,
I seen him do it' "
