“Care to our coffin adds a nail no doubt.
But every grin of laughter draws one out!”
A Good Customer. —A certain runaway
couple were recently married at Gretna
Green, and the Smith demanded five guin
eas for his services. “ How is this ‘!” said
the bridegroom, “ the gentleman you last
married assured methat heonly gave a guin
ea.” “ True,” said the Smith, “but he tvas
an Irishman, I have married him sis times
before, he is a customer — you i may never
see again.”
Bor-Barian Til/.—The bar is noted for
its wit; hut it is not always that the best
things are said before the bar. A poor fel
low, in his examination the other day. wits
asked if he had not been in that court be
fore, and what for ? (He had been up for
body stealing.) “It was for nothing at all,”
said the humorist, “ honly rescuing a teller
creturfrom the grave.”— London paper.
Ncie Year's Anecdote. —A little girl was
despatched by her mother on New Year’s
day, to wish a grocer a “Happy New Year,”
with directions to tell him that she would
“ take the gift in molasses.” Accordingly
she took a jug and went to the store and
did her errand as follows : “ Marm told me
to come and wish you a happy new year,
and here’s a jug to put. it in.”
Hoggish. — ‘When are you going to com
mence the porting business ?” askad a per
son of another, who had a sty on his eye.
“ Explain,” said the afflicted one.
“Why, I sec you have got your sty ready.”
“ True,” was the reply, “ and I have got
one hog in my eye now.”
A well behaved River. —Josephus speaks
of a river in Judea which ceased flowing on
the Sabbath. There is also one stream in
modern geography which has a similar praise
worthy trait—the current of Duns ! But,
like a dammed river, it but runs the fiercer
when the curb is taken off; witness its rush
ing flood on any Moday in the year, and in
the month in particular.
The Magic of a Smile. —Who lias not felt
the electric magic of a smile 1 Delicious
good humor! Bright gift of him who giveth
sunshine and flowers—blessed fireside part
ner—brightest soother of care—most deli
cate grace ofyouth—fair lingererby theside
of old age—l dedicate myself to thee !
What though the wrinkle gather on thy
brow, and the chesnut curls of youth are fa
ding to the gray of gatherefl years, give me
but the reflected lustre of thy smile, and I
shall charm even yet the eyes that love me.

A glutton of a fellow was dining at a lin

A gentleman, seeing a number of cows
in a field grazing, observed, “he did not
wonder that the grass didn’t get high, as it
was cow'd down.” Again—seeing a cellar
nearly finished, he remarked, “it was an
excellent foundation for a story.”

to announce to the community that both Schools
will open on the second Monday in Januarv next, un
der the most favorable auspices. The Male School un
der the charge of the Rev. George H. Round, A. M ,

sending pupils to distant institutions.
We trust our efforts to advance the interests of the
community will not be unavailing.
