SUPPOSING! Snppo9o that a maw avariciousand old, Should come to me jingling his-silver and gold, I And offer a share of hjs Mannnou to me, If I to the sale of myself would agree— I wouldn’t-would yqn? all bristling with fame. Ami big vmh the weight of a wonderful name, Proposed In a moment of bland condescension . To give me his hand and a little attention—--1 wouldn’t—would you? Supposing a youth, with his heart in his eves. That shone like the light of the beautiful skies. Should promise to love me through all his glad life, And begged that Id be bis own dear little w ife— j Guess I wuuicL— wouldn't you? —A Lilly resident at Boyerton, Pa., tlie other mgl’it had a desperate tight with a uujd dog in her bedroorn,i and finally, having hurled a $l2O set of false teeth It him, was pleased to see him disappear. ' .She awakened to find that it was .all a horrid nightmare, but that the room was j tfreeked and her teeth shattered iwyond redenoitior.. A little girl down in Maine was usteo- ; ing with much interest to the story of Jotmh. ' When the question was asked, “ What should you suppose would he the j first thing Jonah, would (’os Iter the great j .fish threw him upon the land? ’ site answered promptly, “I sh'd fink he'd go nome quick as he could and get cleaned j up” —Old Si, of the Atlanta < onMitation, on j the.“no hell” theories: “Yer jess make i er nigger btlebe der ain’t no herarter. an’ see whar yer comes ter.

Hit’s | mougiity hard to keep ’em strata now, i w-id de sheriti' an’ hell bofe -’fore dar i eyes!” He was so drunk he could hot walk, could scarcely move, ami only partially, articulate, —A friend of his came up and ; uphrnidbd him. ‘‘lf I were in-your. l place,” said the friend, “I'd go out in the woods and hang myself.” “If i bin won were in my place, how (liie).tlie deuce 'lifei would yot get’foTliuq the wflsjils7”y was the SQitelelliiig iiirfwity. —A new story comes fr,om Oxhxosh, : 'and the Madison (Wis.) Juurnul thus I tells it: —“A lady of color left a pair of shoes for repair, and after repeatedly calling for them and being put oil' she “lit down” on the unfortunate son of .St. Crispin and smothered him with kisses, to the great amusement of liis site,ljinytes. - The next call brought tlie shots.’’ —During the recent civil war there were two volunteers lying beneath their 1 blankets, looking up at the stars in a® Virginia sky. Says Jack: “WhaCmade you go into 1 the army, Tom T “Well,” replied Tom, “I had no wife.imdj loved war. What made you join tlieNlrniy, Jack?” “Well,” He replied “I had aj wife and loved 'peace, so 1 went to war.” | —“Edward,” said a mother to her son, 1 a boy of eight, who was trundling a hoop iu the front yard, “Edward, you musn’t go out of that gate into the street. ?Xo, j ma, I won’t,” was the reply. A few minutes afterward his mother saw him in the street manufacturing dirt pies. \ “Didn’t I tell you,” she said angrily, “not j tc go through the gate?” “Well, I didn’t j mother,” was the reply. “/ climbed the ; few ,*.-• a As, at a wedding in Huyne avenue the other evening, they were gathered 1 around the happy couple (the bride was ] a widow) congratulating them, an over- J sensitive friend hurst into tears and [ sobbed : “How glad I am her poor, dear Arthur is not alive to see this day! It ! w ould have broken his heart to see his wife married to someone else.” Then she went into hysterics and was removed, j having cast a gloom over the community. ! —Charity has been covering a multitude of cats in a London hovel. An in-; specter, in visiting an old woman who ; had been for several years assisted by the authorities, was surprised, at his entrance, to see cats being hurriedly pushed out of the windows and stuffed into drawers. An officer Who accompanied , the inspector declared that the old woman constantly kept and fed no less than twenty cats, an aspersion which she rejected with great violence, calling the informant a liar and declaring that she had only fifteen. This number, however, was considered rather too matjy for a pauper to support, and her name was taken from the relief list at once.

—Tlie first thing is to make your sermon plain, ilr. Blomfield preached on the text, “The fool hath said in his heart "There is no God? ” Wishing to find out how ft pleased his people, he called a poor, foolish man to the pulpit and asked him how, he liked theserinon. The reply which made Blomfield sadder and a wiser' man was: “Well, sir, I must say I can’t agree with von. In spite of all vou’ve said, I thitik theie must be ft God.* - Talk about female curiosity—it’s all one-sidyd. Let one man stop on the street to spell out a sign on the top of a high building, and every other mother’s son that goes by will stand and stare for ten minutes trying to make out what the first idiot is looking at. —The beautiful golden hair owes its 1 rightness to an excess of sulphur and' oxygen, while black hair owes its jetty aspect to an excess of carbon and a deficiency of sulphur and oxygen, Vanquelin traces an oxide of iron,in the latter, and also in red hair. The coloring matter, however, forms but one j/ortion of the difference between the soft, luxuriant tangles of the Saxon girl and the coarse, black locks of the North American squaw. The size and quality of each hair, and the manner in w hich it is : planted, tell powerfully in determining the line between die two races. An eminent German lias undergone the enormous labor of counting the number of 1 hairs in heads of four different colors, i In a blonde he found 140,400 hairs; in a brown, 109,440; in a black, 102,961, and in a rod one, 88,740. What thered and ; black hairs wanted in numbe “of bairs.j was made up, however, in the greater : bulk of the hairs individually, and in all ; probability, the scalps were pretty equal in weight. It is to tlie fineness and mul- j tiplicitv of hairs that blonde tresses owe the ricn and silk-like character of their flow—a cbcumstance which artist# liava , so loved to dwell upon.

History of the ShortjHorns. One hundred ifnd fifty years *ago few if any short-horns were to be found out of the counties of Northumberland, Lincoln, Yorkshire, and Durham, England. The best were located in the valley of the river Tees, in the last mimed counties. There is no authentic history that any progenitors of the cattle wire .imported into England, ami as the soil of the countries above named was rich, well adapted .to the growth of the best grasses, perhaps our blue grass, and affording- the very best pasturage for cattle, the climate favorable, etc., it is altogether probable that these natural advantages rapidly developed the best qualities of the cattle of that locality, which enhanced their marketable Value greatly, and which doubtless induced their owners to .adopt a careful system of breeding, and prompted a generous supply food for winter and summer, whereby they had acquired great distinction as early as 1770, w hen anew era dawned on the'liistory of short-horns. About that time two brothers, Robert and t buries Colling, young men, embarked itji the business m Durham county, England, who by skillful breeding and management, brought their herds to such a state of perfection that it is doubtful whether any herds have exceeded them, even to this day. Try accomplished this by judicious- y.~ m of in-and-in breeding, and it is a well kitowfi fact that the best herds in England and America are descended from progenitors bred by them. Mr. Charles Colling bred the celebrated Durham ox about 17(10. HC was a roan in color, and in his fifth year weighed 2,024 pounds. He was exhibited in nearly all of the 'agricultural counties in England, was a prize w inner wherever lie wasexhibited, and his owner refused £2,000 for him. The brother, Mr. Robert Colling, in Its,ilk bred the" white cow called “The White Heifer That Traveled,” because she was exhibited in all of the agricultUr.il counties in England and won-prizes wherever she went. As early as 1783-5 Messrs. Gough ,v XliHer imported from England some short-horns to the scuth brunch of tire Potomac, ami. tradition says some cattla descended from these and from som other importation.- were bred and brought’ to Clark county, I\cnturky_ai.f were life re kept, amt the bulls bred on native stock in that -section of. the State. They were tile first .imported caulf brought’’ to the State, so tint .Clark county was the first in the States. Vo engage in the improvement of cattle which 'some Of'the .izens tiave-kept up, and now there are a number of very fine and large herds owned in said county. Among them is that of Mr. Abram Renick's herd of Rose of Sharons not surpassed, certainly, and perhaps not equaled bv any herd on either'continent. He has recently received a medal from England as the breeder of the best short-horn cow of her class in the Kingdom. He lias sold many cows to English purchasers. In 1847, Col. Lewis Saunders, of Grass Hills, Ky., a gentleman of tine education and very general information, attracted by the high prices tealized for tlje shorthorns of Mr. (.'has. Codings sale in 1810, imported eight head of short-horns from tlie valley of the river Tees, England—four bulls and four heifers, all reds. They had all the characteristics of superior ghort-horus, and came fawn the locality of the best ofmhe brgSSr, and great care was observed in the selection of them. But they came without written pedigrees, because there were no herd boons at that day in England. The bulls were bred on the heifers, and a number of. very fine animals were produced, and in 1880 their .progeny were numerous in Kh itucky and Ohio, and very highly prized. X'o other importation was made tq Kentucky directly from England until about 1833, -when Mr. Walter Dun, of Fayette county, imported one bull and five cows. In 1836 Mr. Dun, in connection with Mr. Sam Smith, made a second importation of three' mills and four cows, and in 1838 Mr. Dun imported two cows w ith bull calves. These cattle, ora greater part of them, were sold off at high prices among farmers of that section. In 1834-5-6 importation of shert-horne were made to Ohio from England by a company of gentlemen living near Chilicothe. Some of the hulls and cows these importations w ere purchased and" brought to Kentucky. In 1830 Rev. R. I. Dillard and Mr. Nelson Duddlev were sent to England by the Fayette county (Ky.) Importimg Company, and purchased about 40 head, w hich brought remunerative prices at their sale in Lexington. Numbers of cattle were imported to Kentucky between that period and 185.5 directly from England, t e late R. A. Alexander, of Woodburn, Woodford county, having imported more than anv one man. . After these importations and their descendants were disperserl’amoltg breeders illiberal and unjust detractions were published and circulated against Col. Saunders’ importation of 1817. By w hom these detractions were originated I know not, but doubtless ’ey some who hoped to .benefit, themselves by culminating their neighbors stock. .The cry was that they had come here w ithout jiedigrees, when at that day tlie sires and dams of their own herds w ere in the same condition. They were, however, but too successful in their persistent detraction in placing the 17’s on a level of nigh grades in Kentucky, by which means some other breeds w ithout their intrinsic merits have 1 een puffed into fictitious and even fabulous prices, because some interested parties would declare they were fashionable. —Lady Margaret Herbert asked somebody for a pretty pattern for a night-cap. “Well,” said the person, “what signifies the pattern of a night-cap?" “Oh; child” said she, “butyou know in casa -it Orel” “Do you reside in this city T asked a masked man of a masked lady at a masJiuerade party the other evening. He elt sick when she said to Rim in a low voice: “Don’t be a fool, John; I know you by that wart on your thumb.” It was hi’e wife.
