Mr. A E Bobbitt, of Granville
county, struck 'Lilly" Ross on
the head with a stick last Sun
day and killed him outright, but
it is considered justifiable.
There was some little trouble,
not too much for Ross to borrow
a dollar from Bobbitt, however.
Ross loaded up with bad liquor
and' a pocket full of stones, and
went to Bobitt's, where he
called the latter out and began
tp hurl the stones at him, when
Bobbitt struck the blow. '' ' Whom

THE SMALL BOY'S TROUBLE.
Before they had arithmetic,
" Or telescopes, or chalk,
Or blackboards, maps and copy
books When they could only talk;
Before Columbus came to show
The world geography,
What did they teach the little
boys
Who went to school like me?.
; - . . f ,r f '
There wasn't any grammar then,
They couldn't read or spell,
For books were not invented
yet
I think 'twas just as well.
There were not any rows of
dates,
Or laws; or Wars, or kings.
Or Generals, or victories,
Ur any ot those tnings.
There couldn't be much to learn
There wasn't much to know,
Ten thousand years ago.
For history bad not begun,
The world was very new,
And in the schools I don't see
what
The children had to do.
Now always there is more to
learn
How history does grow!
And every day they find new
things
They think we ought to know.
And if it must go like this,
I'm glad I live today,
For boys ten : thousand years
from now.
Will not have time to pay!

MULE ON DECK.
The mule stood on the steamboat
deck,
The land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter ro and his
neck, ' -And
cracked him on the head.
But obstinate and braced he
stood,
sAs born the scene to rule;
A creature of the hold-back
blood,
A stubborn, steadfast mule.
They cursed and swore he would
not go
Until he felt inclined;
And though they thundered blow
on blow,
He altered not his mind.
The deck-hand to the shore com
plained: 1 'The varmint's bound to stay!"
And still upon the critter's hide
L.The sounding lash made play.
His master from the shore re
plied: "The boat's about to sail;
As other means, in vain you've
tried,
Suppose you twist his tail
"It's likely that you'll make him
. land."
The deck hand, brave, tho' pale,
The nearer drew, - with out-
i stretched hand,
To make the twist avail.
Then came a kick of thunder
sound! .
The deck-hand where was he?
Ask of the waves that far
around,
Beheld him :n the sea!
A moment, not a . voice was
heard;
, But winked the mule his eye,
As though to ask. to him
occurred:
"Now how was that for high?"
"Justcut his throat!" the cap
tain roared,
' 1 1 And end the cursed brute
But the noblest soul that perished
-mere
Was he who tried to do it.
