WIT AND SENTIMEXT.

—The most reflection some young ladies have is in the mirror. —The 3roung lad}' who took the gentleman's fancy, has returned it with thanks. —The mechanic who bent himself to the task has been very roundshouldered ever since. —"Are you fond of tongue, sir ''I was always fond of tongue, madam, and I like it still" —We hope to grow old, and yet we fear old age: that is, we are willing to live, and afraid to die. —The mind is like a trunk if well packed, it will hold almost everything if ill packed, next to nothing. —The person who missed a figure was a teacher of dancing. It was afterward found near a pigeon's wing —If a leaden bullet hits a man what striking metamorphosis takes place? The leaden bullet becomes felt. —Josh Billings says "If I was in the habit of swearing, I wouldn't hesitate to cuss a bed-bug right to his face." —In order to increase the sum of human happiness, we should cultivate kind and fraternal feelings with "one another. —"Willie a little five-year-old, was playing with a honey bee, when the angry bee stung him. "Oh, grandma!" cried Willie, "I didn't know bees had splinters in their feet." —Mosquitoes settle their little bills about this time with great [promptness and certainty. They don't stand on ceremony, except that a tender woman has the preference over a tough man. —A man attempted to spell "crockery" yesterday, and proceeded thus: "Kreaughkearreighe," but expired in a spasm before he could make a y, with which he intended toj end the word. —An Irishman, with a heavy bundle on his shoulder, riding on the front of a horse car, was asked why he did not set his bundle on the platform. He replied "Be jabers, the horses have enough to drag 111 carry the bundle." —"Phil, my jewel," said Pat, -Tin mighty sorry you can't dine with me to-day." "Arrah, and why can't I dine with you said the astonished Phil. "Because, my dear," said Pat, "I haven't asked as yet." —Hans once met Pat on a lonely highway. Each smiled, thinking he knew the other. Pat, on seeing his mistake, remarked, with a look of disappointment: "Faith, an' I thought it was you, an' you thought it was me, an' faith it is nayther of us." Hans replied: "Yaw, dat is dhrue I am anuder man, and you is not yourself we poth be some other ladies." "Is Mrs. Blinkins at home asked Mr. Saunders of the Irish girl who answered his ring at the door. "Yes, I b'lave she she is, sir." "Is she engaged "An' is it engaged, you say Faix an'I can't tell you, sir but she kissed Mr. Vincent last evening as if she had never seen the like uv him, and it's engaged I believe they are, sir." —Dutchman—"Goot morrer, Pat how you tuz Irishman—"The top o' the morning till ye, Smitt d'ye think we'll get rain the day Dutchman—'"Ivess no ve uever hash mooch rain in der dry dime." Irishman—"Faith, an' ye'r right there, Smitt, an' thin whiniver it gits in the way o' rainin' the divil a bit o' dhry wither will be git as long as the wet weather howlds." —A romantic youth, promenading one of our fashionable stieets, picked up a thimble. He stood awliile mediating upon the probable beauty of ^iie owner, when he piessed it to his lips, saying: Oh! that it were the fair cheek of the wearer."

Just as he had finished, a stout, elderly negress looked out of an upper window and said: "Massa, jist please to bring dat fimble of mine in de entry—I jist drapt it." —Archie and Tom sparked the same girl. One night Archie called on her and found her alone. After some conversation he burst out with: "Miss Mollie, do you think you could leave this comfortable home, kind father and mother, loving brothers and sisters, and go to the far West with a young man who has little to live on save his profession Miss Mollie laid her hand gently on Archie's shoulder, with her eyes about half closed, her ruby lips slightly apart, and said, softly: "Yes Archie,

think

could." "Well,"

said Archie, "My friend Tom is going out West, and wants to marry will

mention it to him."

A Dangerous Lady at large.

A lady entered one of the State street cars yesterday and found every seat taken. A gentleman rose and invited the lady to accept the seat he had vacated. She did so, politely thanking him for his kindness. The lady wore a dark delaine dress, plain shawl, and an ordinary tan-colored straw bonnet. She had a fair complexion, smiling countenance, keen black eyes, and an expression that indicated a good degree of intelligence. Her appearance was neat and tidj*, her face was free from dirt and paint, her hair smoothly combed, without curls, frizzles or beau catchers.— There was nothing in the appearance or deportment of this individual that would attract special attention ar lead any one to suspect that she was not in sound mind, save the fact that she bowed politely and thanked the gentleman who gave her his seat.

This eccentricity is sufficient to show that the lady is not of sound mind, and she ought not to be at large.— Rochester Union.

A Cure for tlie Whooping Cough.

An M. D. writes in the New York Tribune: "Thousands of children in this city, especially those of German parentage, are suffering from whooping cough, and I wish to call the public attention to the following simple remedy: To one ounce of the dried leaves of the common chestnut tree add a quart of boiling water, and when the infusion is c,old, give a cupful three times a day, the last dose being given when the patient retires. After twenty-four or thirty-six hours the patient will be

relieved, and then the dose may administered in smaller quantity.

A fine assortment and variety of which wc keep constantly on hand in our new brick showroom on* Washington street, second floor. "We claim to be unsurpassed in strength and finish, using none but the best selected well seasoned second growth timber, and employing none but the most skillful and experienced workmen. The high! reputation our work has sustained in the thirteen years past gives us confidence of our ability as Carriage Makers. Being exclusively engaged in manufacturing only light work enables us to keep a much finer, larger and better stock than any other house in the West. We confidently assert that our work and prices cannot be excelled by any other establishment. The continual increase in business has made it necessary to enlarge our facilities for manufacturing. We call special attention to W. H. Ransom's Patent Anti-Rattling Fifth Wheel A recent invention, and the greatest improvement ever added to a carriage, buggy or spring wagon. We have the exclusive county right. "We use Sarver's Patent Buggy Wheels, "With Patent Rivet for fastening felloes, so that it is impossible for the felloe to split under any circumstance.
