You'd swear (he golden orb of dry llin jl ams on Aiiuu'b locks iiu, resscs; You’d turn from starry night away To gaze on Jn'.ia’n jew tied treaMM. Like heaven serene is Anna’s eye, When not a cloud tie brightness dashes, But Julia’s, like a steamy skv, Now melts in tears, now burns in flashes. Yfiicn Th ase.re throngs the halls of Pride, And lightsome forms around ure glancing, Whose fairy to* teicjysgeiSter glide. Who moves than Juha more entrancing? But when the stars keep *atch on high, And silouce lulls the lone savanna, Then to the moonlit grove I fly, And whisper loiu to lovely Anna. 1 w ould I wore a Turk Bashaw, And followed Mihommed the glorious; Or held tire fine old Jewish law With .Solomon, the sage uxorious. I’d fill my ' sails with biaut.y bright, And queenly Julia make Sultana— But who shor.l.l he my ‘‘Heart’s Delight,” Aly “Harem’s Joy,” but lovely Anna. A LITTLE NONSENSE. A Detroit woman observes that if she was Bob ingersoll’s wife she’ll make him believe there was a ncli, or snatch him bald-headed. A Clergyman meeting an inebriated neighbor exclaimed, ‘Drunk again, iWilkinsi’ To which Wilkins, in a sciui-confidential tone responded,‘olio | am I, Parson.’ It took a Harvard student only two years to conquer Latin, but he was lour years learning how to throw the lasso so as to enabled him to earn •SdO per mouth on a Texas ranche. I i Tacked up conspicuously in our J oflice is a card which says, “I’os- ' itively no swearing” Which is unfor- ! tunate, because while we wanted to swear off, we must obey the rules. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than to convince a woman with very large feet that skating is a healthy and graceful exercise. A Philadelphia miser, wanting a ■dog to guard his property, selected a , bob-tailed one, his theory being that j the exertion of wagging a long tail j would increase the dog’s appetite. j “M arie,” said a pious husband to his wife: “Them wicked Smiths are j allowing their children to play in the i yard on Sunday. To-morrow I'll i set the dogs on their chickens. The vengeance of God must be visited on ’em some day." “You are now one,” said the min ister to the happy pair he had just tied together with a knot that they could never undo. “Which one asked the bride. “You will have to settle that for yourselves," said the clergyman. If yon want to study the immense variety of the human face in expres sion, you should bend your gaze upon the mobile countenance of a deaf 3nd dumb man when he reaches under the plank walk for a lost nickle, and picks up a raw bumble bee by the stem. It is about as hard to find a girl whose marriage is announced in the newspapers who is not ‘beautiful and accomplised’ as it is to find a man who has just died who was not ‘hon ored and respected by all who knew him. A very diminutive man once j solicited the hand of a buxom girl. | “Oh, no,” said the fair but insulting young lady ; “I can’t think of it for a j moment. The fact is, Tom, you are j a little too big for a cradle and a lit- j 4,1 c too small to go to church with.” It is difficult for anyone to un-j derstaud how a woman can be happy i w hose seal-skin sacque has been , lengthened by sewing on it a piece of fur. She knows that her sacque is j short, and she knows that everybody knows it, and everybody knows that | she knows that everybody knows it, j and she knows that everybody knows that she knows that evrybody knows it, ami everybody knows that she j knows that everybody knows that everybody’ knows that she knows it. An old darkey who was asked if, in his experience, prayer was ever answered, replied: “WelL, sail, some pra’rs is ansud. and some j isn’t —’pends on wa’t you axes to’; j last alter de wall, we’en it was mighty hard seratchin’ fo’ de culled breddren, I ’bserved dat wc’neb'oer I pray de Lo’d to sen’ one o’ Marse Payton’s fat turkey* fo’ de old man. dare was no notice took ob dc par tition ; lint we'en I pway dat he send de old man fo’ de turkey, de matter was tended to befo’ sun up nex’ morning' dead sartin .” The New York House. •On* of the traveler* for a new fresh dry goods house recently arrived in a town in .Massachusetts, to find that one of his best customers was al>oiit •to transfer his cutsom to a Boston house. Didn’t we always do well by you? asked the New Yorker, as he sat down for an explanation. Yes, I believe so. Didn’t we ship goods promptly? Ye s. and did we ever press you in a pinch ? No. Did you get lower prices of the Bos ton house? No, I can’t say as I did. Then I can’t understand why you should leave our house all of a s.id den after buying of us several years. 1 know that some explanation js due, and I will make one, replied the merchant. You know that I attend church? Yes. and so do I. Do you? I didn’t know that. I am looked upon as a Christian. So am I. Iv’egot the date of my baptism right here in my note book. Is that so? Well, our church is in need of repairs. We wore talking it over the other day, when the Bos. ton drummer was in here, and he at once subscibed ten dollars. Ten dollars ! why that's only two kegs of nails ! Put me down for thirty dollars cash a new silk hat for every season, and a full suit of clothes for the minister. Do you realy mean it? Of course I do, and if that two cent Christian from Boston dares sign another five, I'll send you down a 8600 church organ and pay a man SSOO per year to play it. We a house which ncyer make any great display of gospel hymns, but when a Boston drummer bluffs, we show our religious band and rake in the pot every time. The merchant will still continue to deal with the New York house. Mrs Topnoody went into a furni ture store the other day and wanted to buy a parlor chair, “Well,” said the polite clerk, “here is a nice one.” allowing her a beautiful piece of wicker-work. Mrs. T. shook it and then shook her head. “How do you like the heavier one?’’ said the clerk. She shook the chair and shook her head. Then he showed her half a dozen, but they were rejected as too light. At last the exasperated clerk broke out: “Good heavens! madame, do you want an iron sealed brick chair with a stone foundation ?’’ “Yes, that’s it, that’s it,” cried Mrs. T. raptiously. “You see my Jane has got her clamps on a sure pop beau tbis winter, and he comes every night, and between ’em they’ve broke down every chair in the parlor, and now, before I’ll have my sofys smashed or break the engagement, I’ll get one strong enough to carry ’em through the campaign if it takes Topnoody’s wages for a year. I was a gal once myself, and know how it Is!” She left her order for the “stone foundation” stlye. mm JBAKING POWDER Tb» rrnir.T, iraaTwirvr, sttjokgest and nesr HAKIXG POWDEA la tho World.
