Sir William Sampson.
When I was a lad with my strong right arm
1 pulled up weeds on my father's farm ;
I plowed, I sowed, and I mowed the hay
And I carried swill to the pigs each day?
oh, 1 carried the swill so sucoessfullee
That now I'm the ruler of cur great navee*
Asa farmer boy I made such a hit
That they sent me to school, where I done
bett< r yit;
I learned to read and I learned to write
And I earned my board doing chores at night? 1
I done the chores so admirablee
That I'm Admiral now in our great navee ! j
1 made my nanre such a jsiwerful name
That a naval cadet 1 soon became;
I wore white shirts and 1 brushed my hair
And I soon had the other boys beaten there?
Oh, the rest were thrown in the shade by me.
And now I'm the boss of our great navee! j
I polished myself from tip to tip
And 1 cut a dash on our training ship;
I learned to dance and I learned to bow
Ana forgot all about how to milk a cow
I forgot my fanning so thoroughlee
That now I'm the hero of our great ngvee !
1 grew so great that they picked me out
To bottle up and put the Dons to rout.
And I smashed their tleetou that glorious day.
Though I chanced to be a dozen miles away -
Yes, all their ships were riddled by mo?
I'm the only hero in our great navee!
Now sailors all, whoever vou may be,
There are lines we must always draw, you see%
You must stick to your guns, you must stay
below.
For you haven't the right to presume, you
know
Just stand at a distance and admire me.
The greatest thing in our great navee!

The Woodchuck?Cousm to the
Squirrel.
H. 1). Iteed and Verne Morton,
in the Novembernumberof Coun
try Life in America, tell an inter- j
esting and pictorial story of the
woodchuck or "ground-nog."
"Perhaps no wild mammal,"!
?ays Mr. Iteed, "is more familiar j
to country people than the wood
chuck. Every nillsideand meadow
is dotted with the small piles of!
earth which mark the doorway
to his home. The woodchuck |
prefers a hillside or a knoll in
which to dig his hole, for here lie;
can easily make the end of his
den higher than the beginning,
thus avoidingthedangerof being
drowned out.
"What could be more unlike in '?
general appearance than a wood
chuck and a squirrel? Yet they I
are cousins, both belong to thet
same family of mammals. The
trim body, sharp claws and agili
ty of the squirrels make it possi
ble for them to lead an arboreal
life, jumping recklessly from
branch to branch, while the flab
by form and short legs of the
woodchuck better adapt him for
digging than for running or
climbing.
"The nature of the tooa ot the
woodchuck is such that liecannot
lay up stores as the chipmunks
do, nor is it of such a kind that
it can be obtained during the
winter. The caseof this creature
during the winter seems to be,
therefore, one of 'sleep long and
soundly or starve.' During the
winter's sleep or hibernation, life
processes go on very slowly,
breathing is reduced, and the
heart-beats become so slow and
feeble that they cannot be felt.
They come from their winter's
sleep about the first of March, in
New York.
Reflections ot a Batchelor.
Some women aresosure to fool
men that they will say no even
when they mean it.
A man can beengauing without
being engaged, and a girl affected
without being affectionate.
If concerning marriages a wo
man considers roses the language
of the heart, she also considers
dollars the language of the head.
