BY D. B. FREEMAN. BOTH SIDES. A man in bia carriage was riding along, A gaily dressed wife by his side ; In satin and laces she looked like the queen, And he like a king in his pride. A wood sawyer stood on the streets as they passed ; The carriage and couple he eyed : And said, as he worked with his saw on a l°g. “I wish I was rich ride.” Tht man in the carriage remarked to his wife, “One thing I would give if I could— I’d give my wealth for the strength and the health Of the man who sawed the wood.” A pretty young maid, with a bundle of work, Whose face, as the morning, was fair, Went tripping along with a smile of delight, While humming a love-breathing air. Bhe" looked on the carriage; the lady she saw, Arrayed in apparel so fine, And said iD a whisper : “I wish from my heart Those satins and laces were mine,” The Indy looked out on the maid with her work, So fair in he*’calico dress, And said, “I'd relinguish position aad • wealth, Her beauty and youth to possess.” Thus it is in the world, whatever our lot, Our minds and our time we employ In longing and sighing for what we have ,* not . / Ungrateful for what we enjoy. ftlra. Jones* Dog. Squire 3C, of a suburban town is somewhat deaf, and the fact often causes difficulty. The other day Mrs Jones called to ask him to get the police to find a dog that she had lost. Mrs. Jones was suffering from a featful cold, which had deprived her entirely of her voice, so that she could not possibly speak above a whisper. The result was an interview something like the follow ing: Mrs. Jones (in a hoarse whisper) “Squire X., I have lost my dog. It was a—” Squire—“ Speak up, madam, don’t be afraid. You can talk right out to me.” Mrs. Jones (in a hoarse whisper)— “I say I’ve lost my doe. It was a lit tle white sorter dog with a curly tail, and I wanted to see if—” Squire— “ Madame, if you have any thing to say that you are ashamed to say out loud, put it iu writing I don’t want to make you blush.” Mrs. Jones (with a voice like a muf fled bark mill) —“The reason that I can't speak louder is that I have lost my voice.” Squire —“No, you needn’t be afraid of making a noise. Talk, right out loud ; we're alone. Nobody’s anywhere about.” Mrs. Jones (with a voice rougher than ever) —“I can’t talk out loud be cause I have a bad cold ” Squire—“ Well, really, madam. I must insist upon your speaxing in an audible voice if you are old. You are old enough to know better than to come whispering areund a man like me.— Why don’t you speak your mind right out ? Now. what’a, the mat ter V* Mrs. Jones (with a voice like a cross cut saw going through a rotten board) —“Why, you see, I’ve lost my dog, and I want to get the p'lice to hunt him up. He was white and his tail curly, and—” ' Squire—Look here ! this is all fooL ishneaa. All I understand is that you are old and don’t want to make a noise because it is aaily. If I catch the drift of your remarks that’s what you are driving at. Now, I’ve got nothing to do with your age or opinions of the time of day, and if you ain’t satisfied write your story on that slate.” Mta. Jones did so, and the Squire read it. Squirp—“O, I see. Lost a dog and lost your voice. Excuse me. I thought you wabted'td be cenfidifltjjil. I dunno, exactly what can be ilbne, though. I can put the police after your dog* but I won’t guarantee that they can recover your voice. Is there any reward on it ? Where did you lose it F” ... Mrs. Jones —“Sleeping with the win dow open.” Squire—“ Jumped out, I ’spose. You said it had a curly tail, I believe ?” Mrs. Jones —“Are you speaking of my voice ?” Squire—“ Certainly not. lam allu ding to your dog.” Mrs. Tones—“lt ran away on Tues day with a butcher’s dog.” Squire—“Very well ; now, you go home and stuff yourself up with gum drops and liquorice, snd I’ll see what can be done for you-” Mrs. Jones’ dog reached her next day. A man was being examined for a school-teacher in Maine, after stumb ling through some simple arithmetical problem, was asked where Boston is.— He answered : “I know all about it, probably just as well as you do ; have heard of the place several times, but can’t somehow or other seem to locate it.” With a view to helping hi n out, the committeemen said : “It is the cap ital of some State, is it not?” “Yes. I believe it is.” “What State?” “Well, I know, probably as well as you do, what State Boston is the capital of, but you see I haven’t got the flow of language to express it.” The ex aminer “passed” but the applicant didn’t. „ c, y £nll)cm idfflfefer times.

C, Aycqck, Chairman. Jas. P. Kinman, Secretary. Marcus Brown, Treasurer. Fi.em. F. Strawn. James W. Hays. How to Esc Money. Mr. Brown kept boarders. Around Mr. ILown’s tea-table sat Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, the village milliner; Mr. Black, the baker; Mr. Jordan, a carpenter; and Mr. Hadley, a flour, feed ( and lumber merchant. Mr. Brown tobk dud of h*s pocket-book a ten dollar note and handed it to Mis. Brown, saying, “Here, my dear, are ten dollars toward the twenty I promised < you ” Mrs. Brown handed it to Mas; Andrews,the milliner,saying,“That pays for my new bonnet.” Mrs. Andrews said to Mr. Jordan as she handed him the note,“That will pay for the work on my counter.” Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr. Hadley, the flour, feed, and lumber merchant, requesting him to give him ciedrtlfoi flrit fcfhmint on his lamber bill. Mr. Hadley gave the note bock to Mr. Brown saying, “That pays 10 dol lars on my board.” Mr. Brown passed it to Mrs. Brown, with the remark that that payed the 20 dollars he had prom ised. She, in turn,paid it to Mr. Brick, to settle her bread and pastry account, who handed it to Mr. Hadley, wishing credit for that amount on his flour bill, he again returned it to Mf. Brotfn with the remark that it settled for that month’s board. Whereupon Brown put it hack into hU poekeb exclaiming that he “never thought alO dollar note would go so far.” Thus alO dollar greenback was made to pay 90 dollars indebtedness inside of five minutes “Who says greenback* are worthless ?” Limit Your Wants. rrom the nature of things,the income of most of the inhabitants of the earth must bo limited, and indeed within very narrow bounds. The product of labor throughout the world.tf equally divided would not make the share *-f each indL, visual large. It is impossible that ever/ one should be called rich, but it is by no means impossible to be independent. And what is the way to compass this— as Burns appropriately designates it— “gloriprs privilige !” The method is very simple. It consists in one rule : Limit your wants ; make them few and inexpensive. To do this would inter fere but little with your real enjoyment. It is mostly a matter of habit. You re quire more or you require less .just as you have accustomed yourself to one or the other,limityour wants.estimate their cost, t>4 aovw exceed ifc, taking pains to al ways keeft inside your income. Thus you will secure your lasting independ ence. Young men think of this. A great deal of the happiness of your lives depends upon it. After having made your money spend ilf as vbu choose,bon. estly ; but be sure to make it first.— Exchange. The following is a verbatim ct literal tim copy of a paper sent to a clergyman of Wilton, near Spills, by a loving pair : “I publich the bands of Maregs. btwixt Georg Dickinson aud Ann Briggs,booth of this Parish. If lienny bodey nows benny just Impeneyet wy thoos toow prosons should qot*be goined togather In holey Matereinobey thair are tu uow declare it.” How She Backed Him. On the Harlem road the other day might have been seen an old white Dobbin jogging into the city ahead of an old-fashioned spring vehicle. Far mer John and his wife sat side by side, his plug hat full of bays, inlets, caves and coves, and her head covered with a bonnet which was in style soon after the close of the Mexican war. A New Yorker was exercising his horse a bit, and through some mishap the wheel of his s “skeleton” became interlocked witli a hind wheel of the old “quill wagon.” He flew in a passion, and made mat'' ters worse. Three spokes were brokei frpm fp wheel, and off came the wheel bf the ancient turn out: The farmer sat there with his mouth open, too amazed to speak and bewildered to do anything. The wife was also a little slow to wake up, but when dumped out ahead of twenty pounds of good butter she yelled out: ‘fWilliam Henry, why on airth don’t you sass that man ?” “I guess I will !” he calmly replied slowly reaching his feet. The mao who had wrought the mis. chief was down on the ground survey ing his broken spokes, and he called out : , “Such old, sleepy heads have no bus iness driying.an old blind horse on the highway ! if you had turned out this would not-have happened.” “ William—William Henry,why don’t you sass him back?” exclaimed, the wife tipping the butter-crock right end up. “I believe I will,” he feplied. “You go to Florida 1” was the em phatic answer. “You can go to town on three wbepri a§ well as four!” “Djil’t you talk that way to us !” warned the woman. “No; don’t you do it !’’ put in the husband. “That’s pretty good for two blind folk’s !” sneered the New Yorker. “Wonder you wern’t killed long ago r “You pay for this wheel !” shouted the woman. “Tell ’em to charge it!” was the an swer. “If vour husband was not an old man I’d drub him !” “D’ye hear that. William Henry d’ye hear his sass ? Why don’t you lick him out’n his boots?” “I don’t want no fuss,” replied the husband, while the stranger indulged in a mocking laugh. “Goan lice him !” shouted the wife. “If I was a man I’d pound him to death !” “I’d like to choke him once, but I’m a Jeetle afraid of the law 1” said the old man. The stranger hitched his horse,think ing to have some fun, and walking up to the farmer he shouted : “Pay me for the damage.” “Lick him I Lick him !” squealed the wife nudging William Henry in the ribs. “I believe I will!” he slowly an* swered. “Beg my pardon at once !” howled the New Yorker, appearing great’v en* raged. William Henry reached out a mas sive paw, clutched the stranger by the collar and a tussle commenced. He was old but ‘ tuff,” and the old lady made an excellent bot le holder. Aftor a minute the two ’contestants went down, the farmer uppermost. The New Yorker now began to put to his work, an! would doubtless have desolated a a family hearthstone but for the wife. She saw how things were going, and seizing a roll of butter she slammed it down on the New Yorker’s face filling his eyes and overloading his*mouth.— The old man got a neck hold on him. and it wasn’t long before he was a licked man. When let up he hadn’t a word to say but unhitched aud drove off. “I don’t know what our church would say,” mused the old lady looking after him, “but’tween men you, William Henry, that was nicer than any dog, figtt, and just as religious as a prayer meeting.” • “The Lord seemed to he on our side all along,” replied Unsold man, “but I guess I’d have got walloped if you hadn’t come with the butter. Pin tny coat tail cn again and let me git a.rail under this ax ke tree.”— Exchange. r “A Cocktail with some Strength IN It/’' —An Indianian went into a Chicago saloon and asked for “a gin cocktail with some strength in it.” — The barkeeper made a mixture of alco hol, pepper sauce, absinthe, limes, and painkiller. “The Indianian drank it,” says tae Chicago Tribune, “and about a quart*of tears came to his eyes, his meuth contracted to about the size of a safe key hole, aud when he had suL fieiently mastered his emotion to speak, he said, “Dow much’s that ?’’ “Fifteen cents.” responded the barkeeper. The customer put down a quarter and said, “Keep the change —have something yourself;” then, wringing the bar keeper’s hand, he added. “That’s the first good gin I’ve tasted since I left home—something like liquor ; it’s sort of quick in taking hold and slow in letting go. Come and see me and I’ll give you some corn whisky that’s bet ter still—whtokv that’s like swallowing a circular saw whole aud pulling it up again.” A wag t ied to annoy a popular preach er by akiior him if the fatted calf in the parable was a male or female.. “Fe male, tb bt sure,was the reply, “for I ice the male in the flesh before me.” The Drummer Boy mid ‘the Queen. When a boy enters the army at a very early age, which sometimes happens ia the case of one who has suddenly be come an orphan, he is generally made much of by the officers, and eventually ranks as the “pet of the regiment.” As instance of this kind occurred in one of the regiments of the Guards shortly of t°v the Crimean war. A bright intelli gent little fellow,about nine years of age, whose father bad been killed at the but, tie of Inkermann, and whose mother * had three younger children to attend to, had applied to have her eldest child ta ken intoithe regiment, was duly to “serve her Majesty the Queen, her heiis and successors.” The boy was so small in stature,and yet clean and smart in his appearance, that he soon became the favorite of all, from the colonel downwards. Ilis usual place on return ing from a field day was on the back of the colonel’s horse at the head of the battalion ; the colonel himself, an Alma hero, with one arm. walking beside the animal, and ever and anon making some remark to please the little fellow. It happened at this time the young Prince Arthur had began to evince a taste for a military life, and by the Queens com mand, the drum-major of this battalion, which was stationed at Windsor,attend ed regularly at the Castle to teach his Royal Highness the drum. Her Maj„ esty and the Prince Consort were often present on these occasions; and one day when the young Prince asked his tutor if there were any drummers in the Guards as small as himself (the Prince), the drum-major informed his Royal ru pil of the facts relating;to the little sol dier bny mentioned above. With her usual kindness of heart, the Queen di rected that the little fellow should be brought to the Castle on the following day. Acccordingly, the morrow saw the worthy non-comaiissioned officer and b ’.s tiny subordinate—the latter being as trim as bushing and pipeclay could make him, with his fife under his arm,and his fofgc cap set jauntily on the side of his head—trudging up the Castle hill to wards the residence. On reaching the nursery they had not long to wait be fore her Majesty and the young Prince made their appearance. The drum-ma jor and his little charge instant sprang to “ ’tention,” and brought their hands to the salute; while Prince Arthur,with a cry of delight, hastened forward and begin to ask his brother drummer a thousand and one questions. The “pet of the regiment” was naturally shy in such august company ; but he became re-assured when the Queen, taking him kindly by the hand, addressed a few motherly remarks to him. Then the royal drummer slung his drum,aud call* ing upon the young guaidsman to “play up,” the latter responded the invitation with “God save ihe Queen,” the Prince joining in lustily the while upon the well battered shtepskin Her Mijesty was greatly pleased with the simple com pliment ; and on the conclusion of the audience, she not only provided her nov el guest with a good luncheon, but gave him a five, pound note for his mother. — Prince Arthur continued his studies on the drum for several months afterward ; and when they were concluded, the drum-major received from the Queen’s hands a handsome gold watch and chain bearing: an inscription, together with a portrait of the Prince, dressed as a drummer, with his drum slung round his neck. — Chambers’ Journal. Anecdote of Telegraphing. The following is told by Mr. Rogers: “I think the most curious fact that I have ever heard of the electric telegraph, was told rue by the cashier of the Rank of England. ‘ Once upon a time,’’then on a certain Saturday night,the folks at the bank could not make the balance come out correct by just £IOO. This is a very serious matter in this little estab lish nent. Ido not mean the cash, but the mistake in arithmetic,for it requires a world of security. An error in bal ancing has been known,l am toldto keep a delegation of clerks from each office at work sometimes the whole night. A hue and cry was, of course, made after this £loo,as if the old lady in Thread needle street would be in the Gazette for want of it. Luckily on Sunday morning, a clerk in the middle of a ser mo’.l dare say,if the lruth were "known felt a suspicion of the truth flash through his mind quicker than any flash .of the telegram itself. He t-ild tlv chief cash' ier that perhaps the'mistake miuht have occurred in packing some specie for the West Indies, which had been sent to Southampton for shipment. The sug gestion was immediately acted upon Here was a race, lightning against steam ! steam with eight and forty hours the start. Instantly the wires asked. ‘Whether such a vessel had left the har bor ?” “Just weighed anchor,“was the reply. “Stop her !’’ frantically shouted the telegraph. Itwassodone. “Heave up on deck certain boxes marked so and so; weigh them carefully.” They were weighed; undone —the ielinquent- was found heavier by just one packet of a hundred sovereigns than itrught to be. “Let her go,” said' the'mysterious tele graph. The West Indies were debited with just £IOO more, and the error was corrected without ever looking into the boxes or delaying the voyage an hour Now that is what we call doing bud~ ness. “If you cao't keep awake,” said a parson to one of his hearers “when you are drow>y why don’t you take a piuch of snuff?” “I think,” was the sbrev,d replv. “the snuff should be put into the sermon.” Western & Atlantic Railroad.
