A SAD ACCIDENT
On Friday last, we were startled by a violent shock in our basement, followed by cries of distressOn rushing in a body to the cellar, we discovered our beloved President prostrate upon the floor, having tripped and fallen while getting wood for domestic purposesA perfect scene of ruin met our eyes, for in his fall MrPickwick had plunged his head and shoulders into a tub of water, upset a keg of soft soap upon his manly form, and torn his garments badlyOn being removed from this perilous situation, it was discovered that he had suffered no injury but several bruises, and we are happy to add, is now doing well
THE PUBLIC BEREAVEMENT
It is our painful duty to record the sudden and mysterious disappearance of our cherished friend, MrsThis lovely and beloved cat was the pet of a large circle of warm and admiring friends; for her beauty attracted all eyes, her graces and virtues endeared her to all hearts, and her loss is deeply felt by the whole community
When last seen, she was sitting
chanel jumbo at the gate, watching the butcher's cart, and it is feared that some villain, tempted by her charms, basely stole herWeeks have passed, but no trace of her has been discovered, and we relinquish all hope, tie a black ribbon to her basket, set aside her dish, and weep for her as one lost to us forever
A sympathizing friend sends the following gem:
A LAMENT
(FOR SPAT PAW)
We mourn the loss of our little pet,
And sigh o'er her hapless fate,
For never more by the fire she'll sit,
Nor play by the old green gate
The little grave where her infant sleeps
Is 'neath the chestnut tree
But o'er her grave we may not weep,
We know not where it may be
Her empty bed, her idle ball,
Will never see her more;
No gentle tap, no loving purr
Is heard at the parlor door
Another cat comes after her mice,
A cat with a dirty face,
But she does not hunt as our darling did,
Nor play with her airy grace
Her stealthy paws tread the very hall
Where Snowball used to play,
But she only spits at the dogs our pet
So gallantly drove away
She is useful and mild, and does her best,
But she is not fair to see,
And we cannot
louis vuitton miroir give her your place dear,
Nor worship her as we worship thee
As the President finished reading the paper (which I beg leave to assure my readers is a bona fide copy of one written by bona fide girls once upon a time), a round of applause followed, and then MrSnodgrass rose to make a propositionPresident and gentlemen," he began, assuming a parliamentary attitude and tone, "I wish to propose the admission of a new member--one who highly deserves the honor, would be deeply grateful for it, and would add immensely to the spirit of the club, the literary value of the paper, and be no end jolly and niceTheodore Laurence as an honorary member of the PCome now, do have him
Jo's sudden change of tone made the girls laugh, but all looked rather anxious, and no one said a word as Snodgrass took his seat
"We'll put it to a vote," said the President"All in favor of this motion please to manifest it by saying, `Aye'
"Contrary-minded say, `No'
Meg and Amy were contrary-minded, and MrWinkle rose to say with great elegance, "We don't wish any boys, they only joke and bounce aboutThis is a ladies' club, and we wish to be private and proper
gucci book bags "I'm afraid he'll laugh at our paper, and make fun of us afterward," observed Pickwick, pulling the little curl on her forehead, as she always did when doubtful
Up rose Snodgrass, very much in earnest"Sir, I give you my word as a gentleman, Laurie won't do anything of the sortHe likes to write, and he'll give a tone to our contributions and keep us from being sentimental, don't you see? We can do so little for him, and he does so much for us, I think the least we can do is to offer him a place here, and make him welcome if he comes
This artful allusion to benefits conferred brought Tupman to his feet, looking as if he had quite made up his mind
"Yes, we ought to do it, even if we are afraidI say he may come, and his grandpa, too, if he likes
This spirited burst from Beth electrified the club, and Jo left her seat to shake hands approvingly"Now then, vote againEverybody remember it's our Laurie, and say, `Aye!'" cried Snodgrass excitedly
"Aye! Aye! Aye!" replied three voices at once
"Good! Bless you! Now, as there's nothing like `taking time by the fetlock', as Winkle characteristically observes, allow me to present the new
