The Sympathizing Woman.
We leave it for the reader to Judge o.
the probability Of its truth.
Ii we were called upon to describe Mrs
Dobbs, we should, without hesitation, cal
her sympathizing woman. Nobody was
troubled with any malady she hadn't suf
fered. She knew all about it by expert
ence, and could sympathize with them
from the bottom of her heart
Bob Turner was wag, and when ono
day he saw Mrs. Dobbs coming along the
road towards his house, he knew that, in
the absence of his wife, he should be called
upon to entertain her, and resolved to play
little on the good woman's abundant
store of sympathy.
Hastily procuring large blanket, he
wrapped himself up in it, and threw him.

why, good gracious Mr.. Turner,
arc you sick :? asked Mrs. Dobbs, as she
saw his position.
oh, dreadfully! groaned the imagina-
ry invalid.

'Oh, great many things. First and

Though it was with great difficulty that

But that isn't the worst Of it,

curiosity

Bob took breath, and wondered what
Mrs. Dobbs woul say to that.

PRETTY GooD FOR PAT.-The other day
the conductor of a train on our railroad
discovered an Irishmann in car soon af.
ter starting from Rome. and demanded his
fare. Pat declared he had no money
The conductor, after lecturing him, told
him to leave at the first stopping place not
far distant. Accordingly Pat was one ol
the first to get off at the next station.--
But judge of the conductors surprise and
wrath to find him aboard when fairly on
the way.

'And sure did,
why then arc you here again?'
And sure did you not say all aboard?'
This was too much for the worthy con-
ductor, and Notwithstanding the decree
against dead heads he was allowed to
pass WatetoaDn Sentinel.

The LADIES AGAINST The EUROPEAN
PLAN.-Hotels on the European plan
have become quite feature in our city
lately; but reaction has set in against
them already. The secret Of the matter is
that the novelty Of the plan has worn
away, and sober second thought finds the
American system the best, after all. The
ladies don't like the idea OF having to or.
der everything to their private rooms, and
to have superanuated bachelors from the
country as their landlord withal; and what
they don't approve is not likely to flourish
long. They have got the idea that when
they travel they ought to see and be seen
as much as they can, and not lock them.
