He Could Sympathize with Him Theophilus Wiggleton could ci awl out through a smaller hole than any other man in town; I mean by that, that he coaid shirk responsibility; and especially creep away from [lay ing his honest debts. In this latter respect he was both slippery and brazen. Here is a case directly to the point, Homer Harvey was known as one of the best natured and most accommodating tailors. He had entered the name pi Theophilus Wiggleton in his bi.oks believing him to be what he would appear to be, —worth money; and under that impression he had made for him two suits of clothes of the finest cloth. After that he had furnished him with a third suit, for fear of los ing what was alreahy duo should he irritate the man by refusing him And now llavey wanted his money. He wanted it very much, Tne bill amounted to little more than SIOO and the debtor had many limes promised that in a very lew days the money should be forthcoming. One bright sum tier’s day the tai lor met this delinquent customer, and caught him by the sleeve. Wiggleton, my dear man, can you let me have the arnouut of my bill against you this morning? Ol—ho! ho! It‘s you, my dear old lellow! How are vou? And be gave him a hand.grasp that was warm and hearty. Say ( Harvey, are you pressed? Do you owe any body that ought to be paid at • net? From the look of WiggletouG eye, as he gave a sidelong glance from it, the tailor believed, if lie should own to being in debtor to oth ers, the Itliow would retort that it was very unpiiucipalled of him to press him lor money. No ho an swered in the negative. No, he said, I don’t owe; add I don’t mean 10 ifjl can help it. Aha!-—good, good! cried Tneopi lus gladly. It you are owing no body, of course you don't need money. At all events you Jo uot need it one-half so much hs I do; for lam in debt. But do not worry Harvey. It shall come some of these times, The tailor turned away in disgust and in partial despair. The next time he asked the man for money he would not give him any such hole through w hich to crawl away. The next time came. Harvey met his man at the hotel b/r. Ah, Wiggleton! You are just the man I have beeD wishing to see. Can you make it convenient to pav Unit little bill to-day? My dea-J Harvey, are you really in need. I am; desperately so! Mercy! You do not owe anybody else money, do you! I do; I owe a large sum! Aha! Goodj good! gjasping the tailor’s baud, Now, my dear fel low', can you sympathize with me. We’re both in the same box. But dout let ns fret. We’ll Keep our shoulder to the wheel— keep your courage up ; my boy, and well come out all right. Never fear. Have a drink. One Soul Made Happy- Yes, I always, make a practice of sending some poor family anew year’s turkey, he was saying to the grocer, and shall want an extra one this week. Yes, I must make at least one soul happy. Ah ! heaven bless you, called out a man who had been asking the price of onions—you are the man who sent me that turkey last year 1 Is that so? Were you living on street*! I was; and I was laid up with a lame foot, and my wife was nearly dead with the chills. Well, lam glad to meet you, I told the coachman to give the bird to some deserving person, and Fra glad you were made happy. And f shall never forget you, sir. I put that turkey up at a raffle, raked in three dollars on him, and outside of a pint of whisky for my wife, I laid in enough tobacao to last me six weeks ! May you never know what it is to be pdbr. W. Murray Daviuson, 6 f Jefferson St., Savannah, says : 1 can cheerfully recommend Brown’s Iron bitters as one of the best tonics. Four-year-old Augustus is ffflind shav ing the head of his cat with hn father’s razor, and is severe’y reproved by his nurse. “But,” says the little fellow, “men have always such a ‘ time shav ing, I want to ’ practice before my beard grows.” ’ — ♦ • O R.

J B Baltzlv strolled into hisgro ] eery establishment on Austin ave- I into, just as that excellent man, Mr Allen White, was opening a keg of golden-tailed olemargarine. That looks nice. It’s genuine but ter, I suppose; noue of your bogus stuff? queried Baltzly. Now this was a leading question, ns the lawyers say. The grocer wanted to sell some of that stuff to Bntzly, so he spoke tip and said: Of course it is butter. Dil you think it was lard? Don’t you see it has got t that beautiful golden hue that can only be found in real but ter? It makes me think of cows aud meadows, clover and buttercups, just to smell it, and the grocer held some of it on a paddle under the nose of Baltzly, who asked: Yes, but is it butter? Is it butter? Why of course it is butter. Some people are so sus picious that they won’t belive but is butter unless they see it taken out of the chum thomselves. Man alive, smell it. Don’t it make you think you ure rolling about in newly mown hay? Y r ou can just taste the buttermilk in it? YTs, but is it butter? It was evident to the grocer, who goes to church, that tho crisis had arrive 1, Ha ha I either to lie or loi-e a customer, so he came right out and told a lio. He said it was buttei • Do yo i say it is real butter from cow’s milK? asked Baltzly, YVs, replied White. Then, said the customer, as a sad smile passed over his t-atures, then I don’t want it. Cow’s butter is no longer fashionable, 1 wanted some j ot that stuff called oleomargarine, made up of axle grea.--e, second hand tallow, and mucilage, which looks like butler, but which really contains tho organism fa new kind of tape worm. I don’t say I like that kind of jelly but was re quested by a friend who keeps a boarding house at a railroad station to ship him a keg of oleomargarine. Sorry you haven’t the genuine arti e.le. Allen White gazed after the retreating form of the lost custom er, and then he said to himself: Next time I’ll tell the truth if it bursts me wide open. From cause to effect: A bald headed professor reproving a youth for the exercise of his fists, said : “We fight with our heads at this college.” The youth reflected a moment and then replied : “Ah, I see, and you have butted all your hair off.” A certain scientific paper defines a malady which it is pleased to term “writer’s cramp,” We have read the article, and cannot say that we agree with our extremely K, C. The only writei s cramp we ever heard of was located in the wallet. The stylographic pen is one of the necessaries of our modern civilization, if Hood’s song had been “Dip, dip, dip,” Instead of “Stitch, stitch, stitch,” it would have lost its text at the hands of Mr. Livermore, who lias given his age this perfection of pen, penholdei, and case, and ink, all in one, hand some, and always at hand and ready for use. The inventor has put some new improvements into it, and novt what remains but for every scribe and letter writer to find it on his desk. Ink, filler and cleaner, all go with it. And to crown all, the price has been reduced to $2. Send that amount to the sole agent, Mr Louis E Dunlap, 260 Washington St., Boston, Mass., and the return mail will bring you this most perfect pen.—Contributor, Bos ton, Mass. “Anybody called this morning?” asked the editor of a country paper of his assistant, whom he met on the stairs. “Yes, our subscribers are up stairs.” What I all of ’em? Yes, they’re all there. What did you do, then? We’ve only got two chairs. Oh, 1 borrowed one next door. “Medicine Made Easy.”—-Brown.— Yes, Miss, I do look pooty well, but I suffers horful from rheumatic gout. Young lady- Well, Brown, why don’t you go to the dispensary down there and get something for it? Brown— Noa, nob, Miss, my wife’s a-takin’ physics from theer fur bronkicters, an’ now an’ then I takes a good long suck at it ! . Young lady—Well, but it might be quite wrong in your case, Brown. Brown—Well, you see Miss, what 1 ses is this, what’s sauce fur the goose is sauce fur ’he gander ! “No,’ a. Ido not wish to mar ry vet.
