A darkey was boasting of the cheapness often pounds of sugar he bought at a rival store. “ Let me weigh the package,” said the grocer. The darkey assented, and it was two pounds short.

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.

McLean, 314 Chestnut, St. Louis. Struck a Ronnnza. Bridges Smith's Paper. 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.

Detroit Free Press. 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.
