A Frenchman, while residing In one of
the oriental cities, was once watering
some flowers in window, and acciden-
tally filled the pots too profusely, SO that
quantity of water happened to fall on
an Arab who was basking in the SUM-
The man started up, shook up his clothes,
and thus gave vent to his feelings re-
speeding the offender: eff 1t is an old
man who has done this, l dispise him; il
it is an old woman, forgive her, If 1t is
young man, curse him; but if it is a
young woman, thank her,"
A Coon BoARDER:-"How do you like
the character of st. Paul p asked par
son of his landlady one day, during a
conversation about the old saints and the
apostles. "Ahl he was a good, clever
old soul, l know, for he once said, you
know; that we must eat what Is set be-
tore us and asked no questions for con-
science sake. l always thought l should
like him for a boarder."

A Pennsylvania editor, in an appeal
to his patrons, says -
''The editor wants grain, pork, tallow,
candles, whiskey, linen, beeswax, wool,
and anything else that he can eat.
How comes 1t, that your milk Is so
warm this morning, sure ?" asked Brid-
get of the milk-man. "Don't know,
honey" replied the milk-vender; "guess
our kiow must have got sun struck"
The editor of a political paper says,
sarcastical!y, that at any rate, he doesn't
devote more than half his time to telling
falsehoods. We presume he devotes the
other half to denying truthes.
Piggles would like to know what kind
of a broom the young woman in the last
novel used when she "swept back the
raven ringlets from her classic brow"

THE DAY BOOK.
TUESDAY EVENING, DEC. Is.

CODA man having a large family
found it rather hard TO keep up the table,
and has adopted the following plan -
At evening just before supper he calls
his children round him aud addresses
them thus:
"Who'll take cent and do without
his supper"
%lI!I! exclaim the children to get
tho prize"
The old man pulls out his pocket
book full of red cents, which he keeps
tor the occasion, and after giving them
one apisce, sends them off to bed.
Next morning they looked like starved
Arabs.
The old man calls them around him
aud with an air of gravity asks
"Who'll give cent to have nice
warm biscuit for breakfast ?"
Of course all the cents were immedi-
ately forthcoming.
1t is needless to add; for the reader has
conjectured, that this .shrewd old man
was printer-who are always blessed
with plenty of young typos.
