Down in the garden, in the shade,

Where Cupid placed an artful bench, I ling^er with the little maid

Who daily tries to teach me French; But ah, my lips will learn no more That "Je vous aime, je vous adore." "Oh! parlez-vous Fraincais," she cries;

The birds sing mating songs above, And sweet upon us smile the sj^ies,

While all the world's a world of love. 1 con my lesson o'er and o'er, Of "Je vous aime, je vous adore." Ah! in her hair the sunbeams nest.

And in her eyes the violets blow, While in the summer of her breast

The song bird thoughts flit to and fro. Oh! ne'er were words so blest before As "Je vous aime, je vous adore." The grammer flutters to the grass.

A daisy nods a knowing head. And on my breast a little lass

Outblushes all the rose's red. Ne'er lips a sweeter burden bore That "Je vous aime. je vous adore."

— Frank Leslie's.

The warring Senators glared viciously at one another.

"Scoundrel!" hissed one.

"Robber!" snarled the other, in great heat.

"Liar!"

"Puppy!"

The debate was approaching the unpar- liamentary stage.

"If you say another word," yelled the first Senator, his eyes snapping and his chest heaving with anger, "I shall not be respon- sible for the consequences to you."

"What will you do?" asked the second, his righ hand moving quietly toward his hip pocket.

"Do?" thundered the first. "Why, you contemptible whipper-snapper! I'll boom you for the Vice-Presidency!"

Trembling with mingled fear and wrath, the second Senator sank into his seat and gnashed his teeth in a manner that proved conclusively that he was baffled. — ^Judge.
