sI'm bobbin' around in my fifteenth year;

sWell thar you call living being bound

sMyyoung friend, your early culture seems

A HARD CUSTOMER,

A green looking customer observed sign
hanging over grocery store, reading thus.
" Wholesale and Retail Store" He worked
his way through the crowd ofladies and gen.
tlemen, until he got facing one oftbe clerks,
who was exhibiting some fine sugar to a
young lady, when he broke out with:
"Say, Mister, who's boss here?"
"The proprietor has just stepped out,
sir ?"
."Well, be this retailing shop"
The young man hardly comprehendlng
greeny's thoughts, simply answered:
"Yes, sir; wholesale and retail store"
"Guess you understand your trade"
90, yes, replied the clerk, wrapping up
bundle for his lady customer, "what can l
do for you?'
"Well as the cold weather is coming on,
I thought mought as we'll come and give
you a job"
"I don't understand you stranger" re-
piled the clerk, who began to think the fel-
low was in the wrong box.
zactly SO; we'll, I'll tell you"
"Explain what you mean, my friend"
said the clerk as he saw him produce bun
die from under his coat.
"Well, as 1 said before, the cold weather's
coming on, I thought mought as we'll be
fxen for it. Come mighty near freezln'
'tother winter, tell ye did, but"
"Stranger, hope you will tell me what
you want, so I may serve you" interrupted
the clerk, seeing there were number ofcus-
toners waiting to be served, butwho, in fact,
had almost forgotten their errands in the
rich conversation betweeen the clerk and his
droll customer.
"Certainly, squire, certainly, always do
business in hurry, and just as quick as the
old master will let you want you to re-TA1L
these old shirts Let 'em come down to
about the knees, kaseI don't wear any draw
ersw ..,.
The effect may be imagined, but, as the
novlelists say, can't be described. The loud
burst of laughter which followed, served to
convince the poor fellow he had committed
himself, and hislong legs were put in motion
at the rate of240.

A COLLEGE JOKE.

One of the earliest Presidents of Jefer.
son College, Penn, was the venerable DR..
Mcmillan, a man of great gravity and digni-
ty of manners. ......
In those early times it was customary for
the students, when meeting the President,
to remove the hat from the head, place it
under the left arm, make profound bow,
and pass the compliments of the day.
Among the students was Tom Devon, an
eccentric fellow. His father was rich, and
as Tom was always "fush Of money" the
height Of his ambition was to sport gold
headed cane and gallant the old Greek pro-
fessors daughters.
The term student, which he bore in COM
mon with the other members of the college,
was q sad missioner. Toms mind was more
deeply eugrossed with back CANNON, check
ers, and cold sledge," than with his mathe-
matics, and he was more deeply read in the
lore of Chesterfield, than in that of Homer
and Virgil. In fact, he was shallow-brain-
ed, lily.handed fop, and, as may be supposed,
a great favorite with certain class Of ladies
who mistake impertinence for wit, and fine
clothes and affected manners for refinement
and solid accomplishments
But to our tale. Tom was one day walk
ing down street arm in arm with his friend,
John Smith, who had spice of the wag a.
bout him. Seeing the President few pa.
ces before them, Tom hastily enquired-
usmith, what is good morning, sir in
LatiuT
"Ego sum siultus," was the reply, with
out a moments hesitation.
Meeting the President, Tom after the most
approved style of donkeyism, at the same
time making profuud salaam, greeted him
with
"Ego stun stpltus"
81 am aware of it," responded the Presi-
dent, making slight bow.
This proving rather unsatisfactory, Tom
posted off to the room of his friend Byles,
whom he saluted with
"Deacon, what is the translation of this
sentence-sEgo sum stultus p"
81 am fool" responded the unsophisti-
Gated "deacon."
This told the whole story. AS novel
writer's say, Toms feelings may be more ca
silly Imagined than described.
Whether the students bored him about it
or not, and whether the professors daugh-
ters ever heard of it or not, "depouent say
eth not" but history recordeth that the
next Aat-bottomed boat that went down the
Ohio bore Tom as a passenger.

s9- The papers say there is great de-
mand for women in Oregon. Isn't there a
great demand for women everywhere? There
are plenty of ladics-dainty creatures, with
soft hands and soft heads, pufed with hoops
in the lower story and nonsense in the upper
but genuine, sensible women are in de-
mand all over the creation. They are scacer
than diamonds, and far more valuable-bet-
ter than gold, and safer to tie to than the
best State Stocks. 80

SONG OF THE BROOM.

SONG OF THE BROOM.
They ring the banging hammer,
The anvil, plough and loom,
But mid the swelling clamor,
Who rings the "bonny broom!"
The broom, the broom that sweepeth
The cobwebs from the wall,
And sends thrill of comfort
Through cabin, cot and hall.
The broom, the broom, oh give it room,
And shout its welcome to each home!
If skilful hand but guide it,
A careful, tidy hand,
The broom will bring blessing
To every household band.
1t makes the cottage pleasant,
The hut gives looks Of rest,
And through the hall and palace
Brings welcome to each guest.
The broom, the household broom,
o! shout its welcome to each home!
The broom, that tell the husband
How much she cares for him,
Nor suffer dust and ashes
The bright hearth-glow to dim
The broom that sweeps the corner
For fathers easy chair,
The broom that makes the brothers
Forget life's bustling care.
The broom, the graceful household broom,
That gives the bright home-look to home.
The broom is "woman's weapon"
And this is "wonan's right"
To make the home inviting,
And keep the hearthstone bright.
The broom that brings the loved ones
With smiling faces near,
The broom that tells the stranger
There's rest awaits him here.
The broom, the quiet household broom,
That ever "you've come too soon."
Then, while the changing hammer"
In thunder rends the air,
And plough, and loom, and anvil,
Their well. earned praises share,
o! meier forget the hearth, and
The old familiar room,
And how she made it brighter
Each moving of the broom.
The broom, the comfort giving broom,
That brings the loved ones smiling home!
