Made a bull-sigh—The markaman who
went out at Creedmore and shot a cow.
When does a dliip of war become a ship
of peaoe ? When she drop* her rancor.
Among the grave* at the poor-house cem

Here la the verdict of a Kansaa jury:
“Died of a kick in the stomach from his
wife, ami he never knew what hurt him."
A wag found a acrawtty|nag in the streets
Os Rochester, and hung a placard to hia
ribs bearing this inscription : "Oats want

A little five-year-old somewhat surprised
his mother a few days ago with the remark :
“God ia everywhere ; he ia all over me; and
when you spank mo you spank God!”
“I don't think," said old Mrs. Pruwn,
“that 1 >ook-keeping is anch a sedative em
ployment. They uinst get," she added
thoughtfully, "ao much exercise running
up columns.”
“Does our constant chatter disturb yon ?"
•aked one of the three talkative ladies of a
sober looking fellow passenger “No,
mam ; I've been married nigh on to thirty
years,” was the quiet reply.

“Wherever you Dud many men, you find
many minds,” exclaimed a public speaker
“Taint so, by jingo!" responded gne of
the auditors. “If you'd ask this whole
crowd to drink, you'd find ’em all of ona

“I guess dad wishes we’d all die end go
to heaven," said a miser's son to his mater
nal parent. “Wbv so?” she asked m>o
recovering from her astonishment. “Oh,
'cause heaven's such a cheap place to
live in.”

The following, which is suggestive to
aoffee drinkers, is from a tombstone in
Connecticut;
Here lies, out down like unripe fruit,
The wife of Deacon Amos Shiite;
She died of drinking too much coffee,
Anno Dnininy eighteen forty.

A pious but nueduoated Judge closed a
sentence with the following touching re
proach ; “Prisoner at the liar, nature has
endowed you with a good education and
respectable family connections; instead of
which you go arouud the 'couutry after
decks.”
The bkhy was doubled up with the
orampe, yelling at the rate of a mile a
minute, as the father and mother stood
over the crib with the hiudAuuin bottle be
tween them. “No, Mariar," he said gently,
but firmly, “you pour it out; that child's
growing ao ranch like yonr mother that 1
cvn’t trust myself.”
Our civilisation is fnli of such stories as
this. A man in the town of Ilushford
killed another naan’s dog. The son of the
man whose dog was killed, therefore, pro
ceeded to whip the men who killed the dog
es the man he was son of. The man who
was son us the man whose dog was killed
waa arrested by the man whose dog the
man assaulted and killud. The man who
was arrested by the man who killed the d,>g
of the man whom the man anested was
aon of, for assaulting the mau who killed
the dog, fiually settled the case up with the
man who had the eon of the mail who own
ed thn dog arrested for assnlting the man
who killed the dog of the mau’s father who
had been arrested.
And this:
Boma of our exchanges are publishing as
acurions item, a statement to the effect that
s Sorse -n lowa pulled the ping ont of the
bung-hole of a barrel for the purpose of j
slaking his thirst. We do not see anything j
very extraordinary iu the occurrence. Now, !
if the botse had pulled the barrel out of the ;
bung-hole and slaked his thirst with the
plug; or, if the barrel had pulled the Uaug
hule out of the plug and slaked its thirst
with the burse: or, if the plug had pulled
the hor e out of the barrel and slaked its j
thirst with th# bung-hole; or, if the bung- ■
bole had pulled the thirst out of the horse
and sicked die plug with the barrel; or. if
the barrel bad pulled the horse out of the
bung-li.le and plugged its thirst with the
alake. it might be worth while to wake
sow* fuss about it.
