BY THE ,( F.VT OONTKIBUTEIE,” The man who “Drempt I dwelt in Maable Halls” has opened a marble quarry there, and is doing a thriving bu siness in getting out grave scopes, The author of ‘‘Carry o>e hack to Old Virginia” has opened a livery stable and is carried back in bis own conveyance whenever he wants to be. The man who sang “ I am lonely sines mother died,” isn’t quite so lonely now. The old man married again, and his step mother makes it lively enough for hiua. The author of ‘‘Life on the Offegfl Wave” ia gratifying his taste for the sea by tending a saw mill. He will be on the water. The one who gave “The Old folks at Home” to the world has recently taken them to the poor house, as they were getting troublesome. The author of “shells of Ocean” is id the clam business. The man who wanted to “kiss him for his Mother” attempted to kiss his mother for him the other day, and him | gavo him a woltoping “for his mother.” The one who wailed so plaintively, “Do they miss me at home?” was missed the other day, together wilh a neighbor’s wife. He is missed by a wife and seven ehildrc-D, The author of “Three iilind Mice” has started a menagerie with them. The man who “Five o'clock in the morning,” found that no saloons werg open at that early hour where he oo.ila get his bitter?, so he lies a bed rather la ter now. “Give me a cot in the valley J love” has got a cot. iu the infirmary.

Susannah,” has settled with her at length, and don’t owe Susannac any more. The author of “ Old Arm Chair” is still in the furniture business. The one who pleaded “ Rock me to sleep, Mother, Rock me to sleep,” has at length been gratified, His mother, yield ing to his repeated solicitations, picked up a rock and rocked him to to sleep,- He hasn’t woke up yet. The one who asked “ Who will Care for Mother now ?” has finally coneluded to take care of the old woman himself, as no one else seemed inelned to, Maxims. —Wait for others to advance your interests and yon will wait until they are not worth advancing. An evil 1 abit is never conquered by yielding to it. The richer man makes his food, the poorer lie makes his appetite. Live within your means, if you would have means within which to live. If you would be nothing, just wait to be something. The best capital to begin life with, is a capital wife. The pleasure of doing good is the only one that never wears out. A Yankee made a bet with a Dutch man that he could swallow him. Dutchman lay down upon a table, and the Yankee taking his big toe in his mouth, nipped it severely, ‘Ow, you are biting me,’ roared the Dutchman, ‘Why, you old fool,’ replied the Yan kee, ‘did you think that I was going ta swallow you whole ?’ Fating while the body is fatigued, is a very injurious habit; but severe la bor soon after a heaity meal, is none the 1-SS so.
