Hard on Jarphly.

“You can’t deceive me, Mr. Jarphly," said Mrs. Jarphly, snappishly and emphatically. “It was after 1 o’clock, and I wasn’t asleep.” “Why, Amandy, you’re badly mistaken,” responded Mr. Jarphly, in a conciliatory voice. “It wasn’t more’n half after 11.” “Now, Jarphly, don’t you sit there and falsify to me. I’m no fool, if you think I am.” “Amandy, I never Baid you was, you know I didn’t. I only say you’re mistaken, my dear, for it was only 11:S0, or mebbe twenty-five minutes to 12. ” “Jarphly, wot’s the use of your sitting there and lying ? Don’t you think I could see the clock ?” “Well, Amandy, I’ve got nothing more to say, if you’d rather believe a 95-cent nickel-plate nutmeg clock than your own married husband,"responded Mr. Jarphly, deeply injured.— Nov) York Mail and Express.
