Only a Shadow.
A story is told of a well-known gen
tleman, who sometimes imbibes too free
ly of the ardent, going home at night
recently, and mistaking his shadow, out
lined on the front door, for a man. He
paused a little in surprise, and then,
lifting his hat very gracefully, bade him
good evening.
“Avery pleasant evening/’ said the
gentleman.
No reply.
“This is my house, I believe/’ he said
waving his hand.
1 he hand of the shadow went through
the same graceful curve.
“I should like to get in. sir, if you'll
stand aside.” But the shadow made
no movement to let him pass.
1 he gentleman was evidently surpris
ed. lie repeated his desire to pass in.
but the shadow remained still.
His wife; hearing her husband’s voice,
1 >oked through the window blind, and,
; seeing no one but himself, asked why he
didn’t come in.
“So I would, my dear, but this gen
tleman (pointing to the shadow) insists
on blocking up the door.”
His wife quietly opened the door, re
marking, -That was your shadow.”
“Indeed. ’ said the puzzled citizen ;
"well, now. I thought he was a mighty
fme-Iyokin" fellow to he so impolite,”
and went m.
YV henever he shows a disposition to
remain out late at night, his wife has only
to remind him of the shadow on the
| door to insure a speedy return.
A rapid and emphatic recital of the
Hallowing is said to be an infallible cure
for lisping : “Hobbs met Fnobbs and
Nobbs ; Hobbs to Snobbs and Nofebs ;
Hobbs nobs with Snobbs and robs
Aobb’s fobs. That’s, says Xobbs, the
worst for Hobbs’ jobs and Snobbs’ fobs.
A colored cook expected company of
her own kind and was at a loss how to
entertain her friends. Her mistress
said ; “Chloe. you must make an apolo
gy. ’ “La! missus, how can I make it?
1 got no apples, no eggs, no butter, no
nuffin to make itwid.”
A fish ion able but ignorant lady want
ed a costly hair shawl, but her husband
bought her % cheap imitation article.—
On examining it she found the name of
the manufactures on one corner, and
wanted to know what that was. “That V*
said tbs husband, ‘Mi. that's the name
of the camel of whose hair the shawl
was made.” The wife takes great pride
in her shawl, ami has no doubt of its
genuineness.
There is no real use in riches, except
it be in the distribution; the rest is but
conceit.
Leisure is sweet to those who have
earned it, but burdensome to those who
get it for nothing. ,
A word of kindness is selddm spoken
in vain. It is a seed which, cveu when
dropped by chance, spring* up ash-v-r.
