Without Experience.

There is in this city a young man who, though he attained his majority some time since, has never attained much height or width. In fact, he is very squatty and very youthful looking. Just because the Almighty saw fit to make this man small of stature and youthful of appearance the young mkn is sensitive, and wishes it known by all that he is a man, that he has voted several votes, and that he can and does enjoy all the rights and privileges of an adult male. A few evenings since the young man was talking to a friend and to the friend’s young wife. Finally the young woman said: “I wish I were a man.” “Oh, I don’t know,” responded the small one; “it isn’t so nice, after all, to be a man.” “Why, how do you know?” asked the young woman. And when the small one saw the point he went away and drank half a dozen whiskies, all men’s sizes.—Memphis Scimlter.
