Dow Jr. ON Dandies.

There are few preachers in the land
whose services are So full of pith,
point pepper and pungant sarcasm, as
those of "Dow Jr." of the N. Y. Sunday
Mercury. See how he dresses down 9
certain class Of lazy, loafcrish, cut wasp
dandies, who may be found in many OIL
the villages as thick as flies in dog days,
or toads after a summer shower,
Now you, that was cut for man,
but was SO villainously spoiled in making
up,l'll attend to your case. For what
end did you burst open the worlds door,
and rush in uncelled, like man chased
by a.mad bull? What good do you ex-
pect to bestow on our fellow men? Some
useful invention, some great discovery or
even one solitary remark? No! those
that look for anything good from you,
will be just as badly fooled as the
man who caught skunk and thought it
was a kitten, or the woman who made
greens Of gun powder tea. You know
where the neatest, tightest pants. with
the strongest straps, can be got con tick"
but you don't know where the next useful
lecture will be delivered. You know the
color Of vest, but never studied the gor-
geous hues Of arainbow, unless it was to
wish for apiece 10 make cravat Of; you
know how "a fool feels in full dress, but
you don't know how man feels when
he eats the bread earned by the sweat of
his brow; you know how II onkey looks,
for you see one every day twenty times
in your landlady's looking glass, but you
don't know how a man feels after doing
a good action, you don't go where that
sight is to be seen. Oh! you wasp waist
ed, catfish mouthed, baboon shouldered|
clipper-legged, goose.eyed, sheep faced,
bewhiskered drone in the worlds beehive!
What are you good for? Nothing but to
cheat your tailor, neatly to lisp by rote
lines from some milk and cider poetaster,
sentimentally talk love, eat oysters,
and act the fool shamefully. 4 say does
your mother know you're out? am ]
afraid you have no mother nor never had |
You are Of no more use in the world |
than time piece in a beaver dam, Or a
mattress in hog pen. You fill no lar
ger space in the worlds eye than a
gnat. p bsa'e5o fs4tv E % acA !

Esr Not long ago, in a neighboring
city as butcher was standing at his stall
selling meat, he saw a man stoop down
and pick something up. ,.,r.tr o.
"What have you got there ?" asked the
butcher. ana sss.af sijnt gd 5qul.4
The fellow said, ut looks like money"
On examination, it proved to be a ten
dollar bill. D, II -..al sJ
Il suppose" said the butcher, ''it is

To which the finder replied II think
| ought to have one half; for, had it not
been for me, you would not have seen it
again. e,.-.s.I mIEa s
The butcher, knowing it not to be his
bill thought he couldn't do less than to
comply with the fellows request, he,
therefore took Eve dollar bill out Of his
pocket book, and gave it to him, taking
the ten himself. q 0A H' s't.h .ma
Soon after the butcher was purchasing
some goods in store, and offered the bill
in payment to the storekeeper, who pro-
nounced It counterfeit. The butcher was
surprised, and not overwell pleased i; but,
on considering, thought the best thing he
could do would be to store the ten dollar
note away in asafe place and say nothing
about the way in which he had oyerreach-
ed himself. ti34hs gR.t3a5ga io.ps

WILLIS SEES A GHOST IN. P. Willis
has had ghost at Idlewild. Waking in
the night, he saw something moving at
the foot ofhis bed. The figure was ahu-
man form and waved its arm. Ever and
anon it would swell into unnatural pro-
portions, and then raise both arms towards
the ceiling. Willis confesses that he was
frightened. He rose with sweat drops
on his brow. nerved himself to the ex-
treme of daring. approached the figure,
and clutched it-when 10 ! it was his
own silk shirt 1t had been hung near
the foot of his bed, over furnace reg

EE-Woman has been the cause Of num-
berless wars. battles and personal conflicts,
and, strange to say. she was the origin Of
this protracled war between the Sioux and
Chippewas. The two nations must have
formerly been friends, and at peace with
each other, until rupture took place at
the yellow Lake on the St. Croix. There,
as the story goes, the tribes met for tete
a tete, and when they came to separate,
the wife Of noted Chippewa chief went
off with Sioux. The Chippewa followed
and overlook them, and killed the guilty
pair, whom he found sitting side by side.
The friends Of the Sioux avenged his
death. and there has been war ever since.
