Ask mo no more; tho dock is past the ten;
J*ew Year’s I vowed that until July 4
l would abstain—I have an oath—so, then,
Ask mo no more.
Ask mo no more; for very inrely 1—
Though seeing it’s yon (whom I never saw
before),
And yet, my friend, I do feel very dry—
Ask mo no more.
Ask rao no more; still, 'bout this time 1 find
There is but little harm in fingers four;
Indeed, I’ve just had one ; still I don’t mind—
Ask mo onoe more.
Rich for One Day.
Charles Jones lived in Hunkers-
ville. lie was strictly honest, conse
quently he was poor. Jones had, as
many poor men have, a large family ;
and when winter had arrived it
found him out of employment and
almost out of bread. By doing odd
jobs, however, he managed to keep
body and soul together. One morn
ing he arose in very low spirits; he
was to eat his last crura of bread for
breakfast.
“ What must I do ?” he cried.
“ T. ust to Providence,” answered
his faithful wife, breaking in upon his
soliloquy.
“ Well, I will. I’ll go down the
street and see if I can get an*odd job
or two.”
lie had scarcely gone a square
when an acquaintance, coming to
ward him, said—
“ Hallo, Jones, looking better
than usual this morning; no wonder
though; 1 believe I’d feel jolly, too,
were I in your place. Allow me to
congratulate you, sir.’’
Poor Jones was completely stag
gered ; formerly lie had received
only a cool nod of recognition from
Mr. Williams, now it was a kind
word, and a hand offered to shake,
and congratulated, too. And for
what? lie could only stammer:
“Mr. Williams, I—I—really—I—
what do you mean
“ Oh, of course. Expected you
would be proud and stuck up,” ex
plained Mr. Williams, adding, “ Give
you two weeks to get over that.”
And with this lucid explanation of
his conduct, Mr. Williams passed
on.
“He is crazy,” exclaimed Jones.
While looking at the retreating
form of the supposed maniac a hand
lightly touched his shoulder, which
caused him to turn and face Mr.
Graball. ,
“ How are you Jones? Glad to
sec you,*’ said Mr. Graball, extended
his hand.
“ I—am pro—pretty—we—well,’’
essayed the astonished Jones.
“ Of course you are,” continued
Graball. “ And how modestly you
assume your new role. I’ll tell you
Jones, you know you wanted to
borrow twenty-five dollars of me the
other day ; I didn’t happen] to have
it just then, but yesterday I collected
my rents; so this morning, when I
sat down to make out your check, I
thought I might as well make it fifty
instead of twenty-five.”
Thrusting the check into June’s
hand, he was about to depart, when
he added :
“ I forgot Jones; my wife says you
must dine with us next Sunday. Be
sure to come, and bring your wife
and children.”
As Graball whisked out of sight,
Jones tried to collect his thought.
After a miserable attempt, he deter
mined to go home and consult his
•wife; she might solve the riddle that
puzzled him.
Arriving at home amazement was
only to b,e succeeded by wonder and
surprise, for, in passing through the
hall in the kitchen, he found his wife
unheading a barrel of flour, and his
daughter putting away a lot of beef
“ Is it yon, Charles ?” asked his
wile.
“ I don’t know, Marry.; just 6tick
me with a pin, till I see.”
“ No, indeed I shall not. But just
think of it, Charles. The grocer
sent up this barrel of flour this morn
ing that he refused to (rust us for
last week, and the butcher’s boy
stopped with some meat, when yon
know ho has refused us all along.
When I asked him what Was the
matter he only winked and stud we
could settle it at the end of the
month. Mrs. Stingy, our neighbor,
sent in two pounds of butter, saying
she was sorry she didn’t have it’yes
terday when we wanted to borrow a
cupful, but, as her butter-man had
just come, she could spare us two
pounds.’’
“ And I’ve got a check lor fifty
dollars ’’ And Jones, overcome by
such munificence, sat down and
gasped for breath.
“ I wonder what it means ?” faintly
inquired Mr. Jones.
“ Give it up;’’ shouted Jones, des
pairing of ever solving the riddle.
Suddenly a loud knock was heard
at the front door.
“ If that is any person with a house
and corner lot, refuse it. Tell them
we won’t have it,” yelled Mr. Jones
at his wife, as she rushed to see who
it was. “Oil, it is you, is it ?” he
said, in a relieved tone, as Miss
Tellal, the village gossip, was ushered
iu.
“ Of course it is, but law me, I
won’t get mad at that. I told broth
er-Janies that I expected you would
he kind of fussy like and excited; al
most every one is that lias a fortune
left to them.”
“ What fortune, madam ?” deman
ded Jones.
“ Vis, what fortune?” added Mrs.
Jones.
“ You don’t mean to tell me that
yon don’t know that a fortune has
been left you ? Well, I’ll read it to
you.” '
Miss Tellal pulled out the Bunkers-
ville Beacon, and read as follows:
“ We are glad to know that our
friend, Chas. Joftes, has come into a
handsome fortune, left him by au
uncle who*recently died in England.
Good luck could not have fallen on a
more worthy man. We congratulate
him.”
“ That’s was what Williams wanted
to do, but I thought he was crazy,’’
moaned Jones.
“ This accounts for it all, then,’’
exclaimed the practical Mr. Jones.
‘ Miss Tellal, this is a great mis
take ; I have no fortune left me,”
said Jones. “ And further, I never
had an uncle in England; it’s some
other Jones.
“ Law me, do tell. Well, I’ll go
home and tell tho folks, so they won’t
worry about you. .You see they
thought you might he sick, and
would need careful nursing. But
you haven’t got a fortune, you arc
not sick, arc you ? Well then, good-
by.’’
“ I knew it,” laconically exclaimed
Jones, as Miss Telia! departed.
“ Knew What ?” asked his wife.
“ That there was a power beyond
the throne.’’ \
“ Charles,” said Mrs. Jones, - “hadn’t
you better go down and §ee the edi
tor of that paper? Perhaps he can
explain.”.
“A wise suggestion, my dear;
and one which I will immediately im
prove.
& :fc $ * • : ’S
The next morning the Bunkersville
Beacon contained the following cor
recti on:
“ In yesterday’s issue wc said that
Charles Jones had come into a for
tune. That gentleman called upon
us and wanted to know when it was.
Wc told him it was a mistake—a ty
pographical error—that was all. It
should have been James. We ap
peased Mr. Jones disappointment by
giving him the paper free for one
year, but would say this is tho only
case in which we shall deviate from
our rule of. two dollars a year in ad
vance.’’
“ He needn’t have spoken of his
chairity so prominently,’’ commented
Jones, after reading the paragraph.
“Certainly he shouldn’t,” replied
Mrs. Jones. But then wo can’t
help it now. Well, I’ll send that
butter of Mrs. Stingy’s home.”
“Yes; and you had better tell
her that we appreciated—”
“ What, the butter ? No Charles,
it’s altogether too strong.’’
“ If you would have allowed me to
fiuish, would have added that we
appreciatcdjthe motive which promp
ted her to J>c so kind—”
“Law me,” interrupted Mrs.
Jones, “ you can take it yourself if
yon want a person to be very fine.’’
“Never mind; we wont quarrel
about it.”
Jones, after he found out the rea
son of all this excessive kindness,
went to Gra ; . all and offered up the
check which had been given him.
But Grahaii saw that he had been
caught up by his own cupidity, and
thought the best way to get out of it
with grace to himself was 'to make a
present of the money to Jones. But
Jones would listen to that; suit
was settled that the money was to be
loaned, and'Jones was to take his
time to pay it. After paying the
butcher and grocer lie had a neat
sum left which served for all present
necessities; and soon after business
picked up, and Jones obtained a
prominent situation.
He and his wife often laugh over
the time when he was rich for one
•lav.
