Beginning Wrong.


Beginning Wrong.
s'This little fable" said my uncle, g may, perhaps
be of service to some poor devil more willing than
wse:'
A certain man once married lady whose repu-
taton for amiabity ofdispositon seriously ques
toned, if it not in reality questionable. At the
wedding everything went off merrily, ofcourse The
party was gay the supper was magnificent The
whole affair had been eminently successful and all
of the parties extremely delighted. On retiring to
his apartments the gentleman found himself much
annoyed by the purring and mewing of a cat.
''What in the devils name is that? !" he exclaim-
ed.
ooh, nothing, my DEAR" replied the bride: but my
favorite cat Pussita.'
"D-n Pussita! I hate cats" And with this
he most unceremoniousy threw Pussita out of the
cond story window.
Well, if you havn't got temper %
''Yes, my dear, you'd better believe 1t
Everything" continued my uncle, "went on
we'll in that establishment-eve warm dinner on
Sunday"
Now it happened that a friend of the above men
toned gentleman. who had, some months BEFORE com
mtted the of marrying an angel, took occa-
sion to inquire of him, How is it that with you all
goes merry the marriage bell, while l. on the con-
trary have almost given up the idea of wearing pan
falcons at all g" Whereupon he related to him the
story of Pussita and the second-story window
without" said my uncle impressng upon his mind
the important moral that it was necessary to begin
right Nevertheless, there was In his eye when he
started for home that told of treason ="
"W ell,' said his wife, you've come home at last
have you, after keeping me sitting up for you E
What's the matter! You havnt been drinking
have you? You look very strange:
! "No not in the least, my dear but Ihate cats"
'You do-do you? Well, like em; that's al
the difference
Hereupon the unfortunate husband made rush
at poor. tabby who quietly snoozing on the sofa
and dashed to the window.
'You haze been drinking! What are you going
| to do monster? %
'sThrow her out of the Window
'You'd better try it, I'd like to see you throw
her out | dare you to do it!'
He put the cat softly down on the sofa, hung his
hat on peg in the entry, his manliness and panta
looms on an easy chair, and exclaimed:
"Go in, ducky darling and VIM didn't begin
right"
Il rather think you didn't You'd better take
fresh start. But don't try that game again, oryoul
| catch it. Come to bed"
| And he went.
Wrong from the beginning said my uncle.

A Man and a Christian.

A poor parson was in the habit of every Saturday,
borrowing of friend five dollar note this was in
variably returned with wonderful punctuality, early
every Monday morning What astonished the len
der more than all, was the singular fact that he
always repaid in the very bill he lent. Be-
ing very curious man this puzzled him amazingly,
He felt that the parson could not want the mon
ey for house hold expenses, because the note was
never changed. After time he resolved to seize
the first opportunity of begging for explanation
of so unaccountabe proceeding. Shortly after the
parson himself came on Saturday evening, and ask
ed for the loan of ten dollar note. His friend
seized the opportunity of demanding the solution of
the mystery. After pause the borrower said:

THE USE MosaUIToEs.-I never knew mosqui-
toes turned to any good account in California
and here it seems they are sometimes ministers of
justice A rogue had stolen bag of gold from a
digger in the mines and hid it. Neither threats
persuasion could induce him to reveal the place of
its concealment He was at last sentenced to hun
dred lashes, and then informed that he would be
let off with thirty. provided he would tell what
he had done with the gold; but he refused. The
thirty lashes inflicted, but he still stubborn
as mule.
He was then stripped naked and tied to tree
The mosquitoes with their long bills went at him
and in less than three hours he covered with
blood. Writhing ard trembling from head to foot
with exquisite torture he exclaimed, * Unite
tie me- and will tell you where It isl Tell first,
was the reply. So he told where it might be found
Some of the party then with wisps kept off the still
hungry mosquitoes, while others went where the
culprit had directed, and recovered the bag of gold
He was then united, washed with cold water. and
helped to his clothes, while he muttered as if talk
ing to himself, :: couldn't stand that anyhow"
