BTSjU Josh Billings truthfully remarks

A country editor describing the
bonnets now in fashion : “They have a,
downward slant that reminds one of a vi
cious cow with a board across her eyes.”
An editor in Marshall, Illinois,
lias become so hollow from depending up
on the printing business alone for bread,
that bo proposes to sell himself for stove
pipes at three cents a foot.
B9P“ A student at a veterinary college
boirig asked, “If a broken-winded horse
wove brought to you to cure, what would
you advise?” promptly replied, “To sell
him as soon as possible.”
ljfPu A priest asked a tipsy fellow,
leaning against the fence, where he ex

“I shan’t go nowhere.”
A young lady having accepted
the offer of a youth to escort her home,
fearing afterwards that jokes might be
cracked at her expense, if the fact should
become public, dismissed him when
about half-way, enjoying his seorccy. —
“Don’t be afraid of my saying anything
about it,” said he “fori feel as much,
ashamed of it as you do.”
Once at, a cornation scene, a per
son w ho was impressed with the majesty
of human sovereignty, said to a gentleman
btside him, “Our Emperor is very great.’
The gentleman replied, “But God is
great.” “Yes,” said the sycophant, “but
our Emperor is young yet.”

the bundle.”

Western court, counsel took exception to
tho ruling on a certain point, and a dis

“If the court plcavse, I wish to refer
to this book a moment,” said the counsel
picking up a large volume.
“There is no use in your picking up
any books,” said the judge, angrily, “I
have decided this point.”
“I know that,” was the rejoinder; “I

clergyman was preaching in Belfast when
a young man in the congregation getting
weary of the sermon, looked at his watch
Just as he was in the act of examining
his time piece for the fourth or filth time,
the pastor, with great earnestness, was
urging the truth upon the conciousncsß
of his hearers. “Young man,” said he
£ how isYt with you?” “Whereupon
the young man with tho gold repeater
bawled out, in hearing of nearly the whole
