NO USE FOR TROUSERS.

Ga the morning of the metoeric shower in
1888. Old Peyton Hobcrts who intended
making an early start to his work, got up just
in midst of the display. On going to his
door, he saw with amazemeut, the sky light
ed up with the falling metcors, and he con-
ciuded at once that the world was on fire aud
that the judgment day had come.
He stood for a moment gazing in speech
less terror at the scene, and then with yell
of horror sprang out Of the door into the yard
right into the midst Of the falling stars, and
here in his efforts to dodge them he com
menced a series of ground and lofty tumblings
that would have done honor to tight rope
dancer His wife being awakened in the
mean time and seeing old Peyton jumping
and skipping about the yard, called out to
him to know what in the name o'sense he was
dom out thar dancin' around there without
his clothes on. But Peyton heard not, tue
judgment and the long and black account he
would have to settle made him needless of
all terrestrial things, and his wife by this time
becoming alarmed at his strange behaviour,
sprang out of bed and running to the door
shroked out at the top of her lungs
'Peyton; | say Peyton; what do you
mean jumping about out thar, come in aud
put your trousers on
Old Peyton whose fears had near overpow-
cred him, family answered as he fell sprawl
