NO. 422 THE FUN THAT ADAM MISSED That Adam was a lonely man I'm ready to believe. Although his many days were blessed With nature's fairest eve, By maiden auntB and cousins fair The man was never kissed. And thus I often think about The fun that Adam missed. It seems to me his life was like An oft-repeated dream, He niver treated girls and paid Three dollars for Ice cream, He never when a little boy, By grown-up girls was kissed. And when he died he never knew The fun that he had missed. He never went security! And had the note to pay, He never saw his bank cashier Steal gracefully away. In all his life he never by A mother in law been kissed. But why go ou and 'numerate The fun that Adam missed? Perhaps, if he were living now But then, why speculate? H d be to late and not inclined To play with fickle fate For . centuries the wanton winds His unknown grave have kissed, Perhap he sleep- the better for The fun that he has missed. WHO CAN NAME THEM?

This is all right a3 far as it goes, but the truth i, our country has had a good many more capitals than those named It may be said 'hat during the revolution the British kept things moving." They would have been glad to lay 'hands on the reber' congress; knowing which that body took good care to keep out ol heir way. inasmuch as wherever congress went it took the national cap ital with it. You can readily under Stand why the following named place bore that honor at the dates named : Philadelphia, from September 5 1774, untill December, 1776; Balti more, trom December 20. 176 to March, I777 ; Philadelphia fon March 4, 1777. to September, 17-7; Lancaster, Pa., Sept 27, 1777, to s.-p tember 30 1777; York, Pa., fron September 30th x 777, to July 1778; Philadelphia, from Julr 2, i778, to June 30, 1783; Princeton, N.

The subjoined card is printed as an advertisement in a British colonial news paper: Benjamin Jovrett Phillips of Annandalo begs most sincerely to thank the good people who so kindly contributed tho numerous beautiful Rowers, wreaths and crosses, on tho occasion nf the funeral of Ids Jate dear wife, to say noth ing of the equally beautiful letters of sympa thy, esjeoiaJly one, and that of a Christian minister. Mr. B. J. P. felt particularly hon ored by noticing in the procession three of the clergy, other two being unable to attend by reason of indisposition. He (Mr. Phillips! also begs to thank the organist and choir of Palmer Street church, with whom the deceased was associated from infancy, for their kindly fore thought in rendering bo sweetly two of her fa vorite hymns - viz, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," etc.. and "Thou Knowci-t.

George Guess, to whom a monument is soon to be erected in Indian Territory, was the Cadmus of the Cherokees, so to peak, for he invented an alphabet for their use. and in that way distinguished them above other American Indians.. Guess wa9 a half breed, the son of a Cherokee mother and an English father, and was 50 years old when in 1820 he levised this famous alphabet. He lived :o regret the invention, for he was an anbeliever. and the only work of conse quence printed in Cherokee with the new alphabet was the Bible. San Francisco Argonaut. The Qneen Receive a Pie.
