“Fast.”—lf there in anything in oh'
language which puzzles a Frenchman, it
is the different significations of the. fggpl
word. The perplexities of a persevering
monsieur arising from our word ‘fast’ »£
mors numerous than one would suppose,
ss, for instance:
‘Zis horse, sah\ ho go queck, whatyai*
say W
‘Yes, lie is a fast horse,’
■Ah! pardon, monsieur, but your friend
say he make fast his horse when he tis
him post so be no go at ail.’
‘Very true: ho is made fast by being
tied.’
‘Ah, zat canned be ; he oanrot go fast,
but what you call a mm zit keeps fast?’’
“Oh, he is a goud man who aoes Hot
eat on faxt days.
‘But I have s<.en one ton vivant, wha
tat and drink and rides, and do every
zing. Zc people say he is a bad man
lie is very fast.’
‘True, that is Culled living a fast life.’
‘Ah, eertainment; zen all the days of
his life must be fast days.’
‘Certainly they arc.’
‘Kb hien ! Docs he eat every day?’
‘Certainly he does.’
‘Den how cun he keep fa.t?’
‘Why he keeps going to be sure.'
‘Alais ter.ez! You tell me to stand
fust when you keep still, and go fust when
you want me to run—diablc take za
fast.’
We slated that “anew fashion in la
dies’ bonnets has made its appearance—
the long ribbons which depend frota
them down the hack being fitted at the
ends with little gold bells.” Thts is s
til ruble broad hint on the part of the la
dies. They wish those who arc after
tbem to know that they have no settled
objection touring.
At n medical student's examination ha
was asked : “Do wounds often heal by
the h-st intention ? ’ “Not when the pa
tient is rich and the doctor poor.”—
“When does mortification ensue?”—
“When you pop the question, and are
[ answered no.”
Miracles Never Cease.— There is
a hoax going the rouuds of the press,
i that a negro in Virginia is gradually tur
ning white, which seems to amaze every*
i body. But thousands of white men have,
turned riigc/ers within the last few year*,
1 without surprising anybody.
' -V farmer in New York willed hi.<
daughter four thousand dollars on condi
tion that slip would marry a Catholic
clergyman. As Catholic clergymen do
not marry, the daughter endeavors to
break the will. The defence is that, the
old uian didn't mean she should have any
of the property, and took this way of say
ing so.
Good Gospel.—An afflicted editor,
who is troubled with hand-organs under
his window, longs for the “evil davs”
mentioned in Ecclesiastics, when “the
grinders shall cease because they are few,”
and the sound of the grinding,” shall ba
“low.”
A lady was asked the other day why
she chose to live a single life. She naiv
ely replied : “Because lam not able to
support a husband.” Sharp!
A smart negro was, asked a few days
ago, what he thought of the cotton
tax:
“It’s unconstitutional, sar, and anud
or tax is more unconstitutional, sar do
whiskey tax sar. I used to get a gallon
for two bits, sar, and I has now to give
two dollars on account of dem Northern
taxes. Use gwine to help blow dem up,
sar, I is !”
33?"*’ A recently matrimonial adver
tisement ir> a New York paper was for
a I usband “having a Homan nose with
strong religious tendencies.”
Worth Knowing.— One pound of
green copperas dissolved in a quart of wa
ter and poured down a kink drain will ef
fectually destroy the foulest smells. For
water-closets on board ships and steam
hi ats, about hotels and other public pla
ces, there is notbrig so nice as to cleanse
a? simple green copperas. Dissolve 4 un
der the bed in anything that will hold
water it will render a hospital or other
place for sick free from unpleasant smells.
For butcher’s stalls, fish markets, slaugh
ter-houscs, sinks and wherever there are
offensive putrid gases, dissolve copperas
and spirinkle it abour, and in a few days
the smell will pass away. If a cat, rat, or
mouse liic-s about the house, and sends
forth an offensive gas, place some dissolv
ed copperas in an openjvessel near the plaeo
where t.ie nuisance is, ad it willsoon pu
rify the atmosphere.— Vontrbions for
