■ gfitt't Mottm. r _ . —w, h I ■ . ■ —>■ _,, -- - J Which Wins? * —■ This sighing after beauty, This longing after curls, This chasing after fashion Wherever fashion whirls. And all that sort of thing. May do for those who like it, For those devoid of taste; For those whoYtftei-diamonds off For diamonds, made of paste, And other blockheads. But to the wife who truly loves, Who is whit she appears; Who sheds a sunshine ’round the man Who keeps away her tears—• And brings her taters home. I’d whisper softly in her ear, I’d gravo it on her heart, That well to know to broil a steak Beats sentiment and art A eight.. Ladies’ q tiffs—boxes on the ear. Rolling stock—capital invested in bowling alleys. Laws which govern public speaking—applause. The scene of many disasters—kerosene. Young Lopez came to Wash ington to say that his father had not changed his name to Slopez. The man who made his mark is going into the chalk and pencil business. In California when a man quietly retires from a riotous crowd they call it a Pacific slope. A provident, and yet improvident man—the baker; he kneads much, but sells everything he kneads himself. A little girl who was sent out hunt eggs, thought strange she did not find any, as there wcro several hens “standing around doing nothing. A negro explains the apathy in celebrating the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, by the fact that “Butler’s bin dar since Jackson’s bin gone. Mein Herr, do you know what for we call our boy Hans?’’ “1 do not, really.” . “Well. I tell you. Der reason that we call our boy Hans is—it is ish name.” . Somebody says that Ike’s last trick was to throw Mrs. Partington’s gaiter into-die alley, and call the old lady down from the third 1 ' floor to see ah alley-gaiter. We read among the fashion reports on a new thing, the “sachet nr perfumed pelicoat.” This is a reckless extravagance. Peppermint in the stockings will be the next thing. At a colored meeting a few nights ago, a worthy brother,’ whoso piety exceeds his learning, ! rather astonished his hearers by quoting, during an exhoitation, ’poistle of St. Paul to de Canadians.” A traveler saked his landlord if Im had any cases of sunstroke in that town. “No, sir,” said the landlord. “If a man gets drunk, here, we say he.is drunk, and we never cWI him by any other name.” A young woman went into a H-1 brary in Boston and asked for “Man as He Is.” “Tlrat is out,” ■ replied the librarian, “but we have ‘H'ontctn as She Should Be.'" “Would yon be popular,” says Voltaire, in one of his essays, “startle your public—whether for ! good or evil it matters not, but be i startling at anv price.” => . i “Do you think,” asked Mrs.i Pepper, “that a little temper is a | bad thing in a woman?” “Cer-j tainly not, ma’am,” replied a gal I lant philosopher; “it is a good; thing, and she ought never to loose it.” Mrs. Sobersides having gazed for a considerable time into the ; window of a noted corset and hoop I uforc, exclaimed, “Indeed, we are ■ fearfully and wonderfully made.” She could have added a little Word “up.” Emily (little sister) —What a' large family the spinsters must be. I hear in church every Sunday j that some of them are going to be married. Frances (eider sister) — Oh,- yon little stupid." Don’t you j know what spinsters are? Bach - elors ladies, of course. , Wf heard a good story on accr tain railroad the other day. On 1 thi« road the train was frcquentlv delayed by cattle upon the track. Thi* had happened several times, but firfally the locomotive entered upon a clear sailing, nnd for ten or fifteen miles the train rattled a]ong at a lively jog. All of a Sud-| don. however, the engine began a lively blowing, showing that trou ble had come again. At this, one individual who had Iteeu watching tree* fly past tho windows, and hnd jnst persuaded himself into the belief that he was riding into glory at the rate of a league at a breath, jumped up with surprise and the ejaculation: ••Weil. I’ll be cussed ifwchaven’t eanght np With thoae d—d cattle again." .
