Mr. Moran of San Pierne, was a Dunnville caller last Saturday. Mr. Moran is San Pierrie’s celebrated hay buyer whose hay buying territory includes a number of the neighboring counties. His time is equally divided between politics and hay and hay and politics. He is a democrat of the an-1 tique type and being a natural political I -orator he is an ardent defender of the • same. He says that Dunnville is a veritable garden of Eden wherein uncontrollable passion and ill-will has no being. Come again, Mr. Moran: thou art always welcome.

The following is a minute description of the only specie of young men who will be able to please the Parisan fancy of the renowned Dunnville girls; He must be of medium height, adorned in modern apparel, with gold watch and watch chains and russet shoes. He must be a fuE-blcoded tcetotler and an antiterbaccer user. His vocabulary must be as extensive as Col. Bryan’s, including, besides, an unlimited number of unpronounceable words which none can vutter but himself. His nature must be pliable and his will as easily changed as Abe tail feathers of a half-scared thunderpumper. He must be conversant in politics and pota'o raising and be able to sing it requested to. He must be able to dance a cake, a pie or sugar-beet walk »«a dignified rfianner. If he comes into church with his necktie sixty degrees out ot its normal position and he knows •t, be must be able to manifest an air <»f invented indifference. Above ail he must have a blooming mustache, reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, delicately waxed with an abundance of beeswax, use tallow on his hair and cheerful similes on his face.

Power, ot Emporia, Kan. “My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. 1 went over to see him next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, and Diahrrhoea Remedy and he said, l No.’ I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen minutes if He did not find relief, but he look no more and was entirely cured."

VAGRANT VERSE.

Maude and the Judge. The ex-Judge sat in his rustic chair. Dreaming of clays when prospects were fair. When he was a clerk in a grocery store, Reading law at night for an hour or more. Then politics gave him a playful nudge And set him up on the bench as-a judge. * While on his vacation one summer’s day lie met Maud Muller at work in the hay. Now. Maud was as shy as a turtle dove, So the Judge fell heels over head in love. “Maude, dear” said he, “for pity's sake Come, be my bride, and give up that rake." But Maudie answered and said: “Oh, no; The chap for me is the man with the hoe." Pulling off his coat, the Judge said: “See, For your sake, Maude, I’ll a farmer be.” So the love-sick Judge gave up his job And became a granger—alas! poor slob! They married and bought a farm on time And settled down to a life sublime. Eor eighteen hours they toiled each day. Trying the mortgage on the farm to pay. This happened some forty-odd years ago, Bui still the ex-Judge wields the hoe. He is getting stiff in elbow and knee, For he isn’t as yonng as he used to be. But he often dreams of what might have been, For the mortgage is bigger now then. —Chicago News. Keep a Steppin* to De Band.
