tell how to bring them to : If the drowned
person be a politician, whisper in his ear

him confidentially that another fellow is
after his sweetheart.
In a neighboring State there lived a fam
ily named Beaver, consisting of the old
man and his four sons, who had often
laughed to scorn the advice and entreaties
of a pious though eccentric minister, who
resided in the same town. It happened
that one of the Beaver boys was bitten by
a rattlesnake, and was expected to die, and
the old clergyman was sent for in a hurry.
On his arrival he found the young man
very penitent, and anxious to be -prayed
for. The minister called the family to
gether, and knelt down and prayed in this
way : “Oh, Lord ! we thank Thee for rat
tlesnakes. We thank Thee because a rat
tlesnake has bit Jim. We pray Thee send
a rattlesnake to bite John; send one to
bite Sam ; and, O, Lord ! send the biggest
kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old man,
for nothing but rattlesnakes will ever bring
the Beaver family to repentance.”
Advice to Jokers: Always let your
jokes be well-timed. Any time will do for
a good joke, but no time will do for n bad
one. Any place will fit. provided the joke
itself is fitting, but it never fits if a joke be
out of its place. You cannot order a joke
as you would a coat, or a pair of boots.
In concocting jokes, as in makingpuddings,
each person employs similar materials,
but the quantity of the dish is entirely de
pendent on the skill of the artiste. The
uttcrer of a good joke is a useful member
of society, but the maker of a bad one is a
more despicable character than the vilest
coiner by profession. A joke from a gen
tleman is an act of charity ; an uncharita
ble joke is an ungentlemanly act. The re
tort courteous is the touchstone of good
feeling ; the reply churlish—the proof of
cold-headed stupidity.
The great sewing machine monopoly,
which for over twenty-five years, has ruled
that important interest in this country, has
been abolished. The Commissioner of Pa

tent monopoly heretofore enjoyed by the

Howe, and Singer companies. This sew
ing machine company monopoly cleared
six millions of dollars profit out of their
machine patents. It is staled that now
good ordinary machines will be put upon
the market at $25 each, and perhaps less,
or half the former price.
There were three deaths under one um

ored brother's umbrella, which had a steel
handle. There was a vived flash, and in an
instant there were three lifeless bodies
prostrate on the sidewalk. The cover of
the umbrella was partly burned.

A Decatur street grocer took a sugar
cured ham from its yellow overcoat the
other day, stuffed the canvass with saw
dust and hung it temptingly before his
door as a sign.
Yesterday short-legged -Jim came along
and seeing the decoy, remembered that the
old ’oman was out of meat, and concluded
he'd appropriate what he termed the “ big
banana.” Watching his chance he soon
bad the yellow' fraud under his arm making
for home.
” Ole ’oman hyar's a ham o’ meat I
fetched ycr,” he said as he deposited his
prize.
“Look hvar, nigger, whar in de name
ob de Lamb' did yer fotch up wid all dat
ham ?”
“ As’ me no queschuns an’ I'll tell yer
no lies.” said Jim evasively.
“ Well, it duz look sorter like ole times
ter see so much meat as dis in der house.
Clar to grashus dat man Hayes ain’t no
slouch ob a presumdent—am he Jim ?”
“ Sliet yer fiy trap ole ’oman ; wot de
debbil you know 'bout Hayes? Fotch me
dem scissors and le's sample dis ham.”
The scissors cut two or three stitches, and
the saw-dust began to pour out. There
w r ere two dark faces made darker by the
revelation, and it flashed through Jim.s
mind that he hadn’t struck a bonanza after
all.
“ See liyar, Jim ; 'pears ter me dat ef I
couldn't steal a shore null'ham I wouldn't
steal a bag of sawdust?”
Then Jim went down town fully satis
fied that “ all’s not gold that glitters.”

Day before yesterday Mrs. Bliss, of
Mullet street, found a euchre deck in her
boy's pocket, and when she took him by
the ear hecamly said :
“ Hold on, mother; it isn't your play.”
“ I'll play you.” she hissed, tightening
her grip “ Flow came you by these cards ?”
“ Mother you shouldn’t trump me this
way?” he exclaimed.
“ Trumps ! trumps ! what do you know
about trumps?”
“ Why, mother, every fool knows that
the right bower will take an ace, every
time.”
“ It will, eh !” she hissed as she walked
him around.
“Of course it will. Tf diamonds are
trumps, for instance, and I hold the ace
and left bow—”
“Bowers ! bowers ! I'll bower you to
death, young man !” she said, as she walk
ed him the other way.
“Or suppose that spades were trumps,
and you held the nine-spot and king and
turned up the ace, what would you do?”
he earnestly inquired.
“ Oh. I’ll show you what I'd do !” she
growled, as she got in a left-hander on his
ear. “ I'll teach you a lesson you'll never
forget 1”
“ That wouldn't he Hoyle, mother, you
could pick up the ace and make a point ev
ery—”
But she drew him over her knee and
played a lone hand.
