FI NNY SAYINGS ANh DOINGS. Woman win made from r rib bone ; nml ahe loves rib-bon(c)a to this day. “There is music in the heir.” as the man said as he listened to the squalls of his lirst bom. There is some clover in Lexington so short, that it must be lathered before you can mow. A Georgia man is suing another for f lulling his nose. The latter thought it ooked ripe enough to pull. • “It Is well to leave something for those after us,” ns a man said when he threw a barrel in the way of a constable who was chasing him. Anew paper in Texas starts out with the announcement, that “in religion we are conservative, ami we intend to adhere to the cash system.” A young innn having complained that a young lady had sat upon his hat, he was told that he ought to Know better than to bold his hat in his Inp. A drunkard, on being told that the earth was round, and turns on its axis all the time, said. “ I believe that, for I've never been able to stand on the darn thing.” A coxcomb wishing some milk, said: “Landlady please pass your cow this way.” “Waiter,” said the hostess, “take the cow down there whore the calf is bleating.” “Sam, why don’t you talk to your mas ter and tell him to* lay up treasures in Heaven?” “ What’s de use of him layin’ up treasures up dar? lie never see um Jgin.” • Have you seen my black-faced antelope? inqurod Mr. Leosconc, who had *i collec tion of Animals, of his friend Bottlejack. “ No, I have not.

The last was, “What is the difference petween the bridge of Sighs and the size of a bridge ?” The next is to be, “ The difference between a fac simile and a sick family.” Copy was out.

In the cell of a prison, on the stone wall, was recently found a picture, drawn ltv a miserable man who went from that spot to be hung. It was that of a scaffold with five steps leading to it. Each of (hose steps was named. The first was. “ Diso bedience to Parents;*’ the second. “Sab bath-breaking the third. “ Gambling and Drunkenness;” ihc fourth, “Murder;” the fifth was called, “ The Fatal Platform,” and just above it was the scaffold where he was to end his wretched life. Boys, if you would avoid the last step, don’t set your foot upon the first. Beware of the begin ning of evil. Don’t judge a man by the clothes he wears, for God made one, the tailor the other. Don’t judge a man by the house he lives in. for the lizzard and rat sometimes in habit the grandest of structures. Don’t judge him by his speech, for the parrot talks and the tongue is but an in strument to make sound. Don’t judge him by his family connec tions. for Cain belonged to a very respect able family.

Hl*i I.eKiNlalivr Hill. Detroit Free Press. The man who failed to get his bill through the Legislature was eating dinner in a Jef ferson avenue restaurant yesterday. He felt bad and mad. as he had been at Lan sing for a week or ten days. Said he to the colored waiter : “ Young man, don’t you ever have nothing to do with the Legislature.” “ No, sah, I won't, sail,” was the reply. “Because, when you think you've got got 'em you hain’t got 'em at all.” “ Jess' so, sail —jess like you think you is walkin' on de dock, when you is in de ribber all de time.” “ I went down there to get a pine tim ber bill passed,” continued the stranger as he opened another biscuit, “ and I'm a hundred dollars out of pocket and no bill.” “ Jess so, sah. Dey wasn’t on de pass when your bill came in.” “ No, blast em ! I handed out the cigars by the thousand, talked soft and sweet, sat up nights till my bones ached, and I fiuallv got a man interested. I talked and he talked, and I thought that bill would scoot through like a saw-log going over a dam.” “ Jes’ de 'same, sail’ but derc's whar' . you got left behin,d I spose ?” “ I don’t know whether 1 was left be hind or ahead, but I kept poking the man up, and he kept promising, and there I was ! all the time paving out money as free ly as a young fellow with his girl at a chick en now." 44 A million dollars don’t las’ no time ’tallaroun’ de halls of justis an ’ Icgisla shun,” sighed the waiter as he pushed the sugar bowl nearer. “ Wei! yesterday morning the man came over to the hotel, face a yard long, and says he : “Mr. Shoat. your bill has been kill ed,” and before 1 could recover from the cold chill that crept over me he went on to toll ine about comtnintce of the whole, third reading, objected to, titles and bodies, laid on the table, suspension of the rules, moves to reconsider, ami a lot of other such stuff.” 44 Yes. salpSrlat's jess de way dey alius goes on. sah. lze beam 'em tell ’bout dat committco of hole, an’ suspension of de table, an’ lyin’ de bills on de winder-sill. I used to liv nex’ doah to de Legislachur, an’ 1 knows all 'bout ’em, sab.” “ Well. I couldn’t do anything.” sadly continued the man, “ They hitched a dog act to one end of my bill, a musk rat law to the other, changed the title to, 4 An Act to Fund an Orphan Asylum,’ and rushed it up and down and around till the durn thing got tired out and couldn't go any fur ther. I’vo been postmaster, and town li brarian, and I’ve laid out two ditches, and I've been deputy constable, and all that, but it didn’t make any difference to them out there —not a bit.” 41 Hat's a fac’ sah. 1 sometimes believe dat de higher up a man gits de lower de folks looks down on him.” “ Well they laid me out, but I'll be even with’em yet. I’ve got a chattle mortgage on one of our county papers, and I’ll go home uml tell the editor lie’s got to bust into that crowd about four columns a week or I'll foreclose on him in aminit!” “Yes, sah—take de foreclose on him like you jess foreclosed on dat biscuit. 1 'predates de motive, sah, an’ lze willin' to do all I kin. He bill is fifty cents, sah— pay at de desk.” Hurl County Directory. COUNTY OFKK KUH. Ordinary —Fred. C. Stephenson. Clerk Superior Court —('. A. Wobb. Sheriff —J. Robert Myers, Tax lleeeirer —J. M.

Ayer’s I fair Vigor , For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. flw aj; reealilc. with the f/loss and freshness of i/outh. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not alwaj's, cured by its use. Noth ing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. 13ut such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of foul ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dan gerous, and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by Dr, J. C. Ayer & Cos., Practical and Analytical Chemists, LOWELL, MASS. E. B. BENSON & CO., Agents, Hartwell, (la. 1 w 77. TJ IE HARTWELL SUN. PROSPECTUS.
