In endeavoring to take the census for
the government, the officers occasionally
meet with such difficulties as to we'll nigh
deprive them of their senses. The fol
lowing colloquy is said to have taken
place somewhere, between an official and
an Irish woman.
"How many members have you in
your family?"
"Niver a one."
"When were you married"

America. All well | mind it. A sun

"What was tho condition of your hus-
band before inarriage?'
"Divi man more miserable. Ho
said if l didn't give him promise with
in two weeks he'd blow his brains out
with crowbar."
''Was he at the time of your marriage
widower or a bachelor?"
GA widower did you say? All, now
go way with your nonsense. Is it the
likes of me that would take up with a
secondhand husband? All legs and con-
sumption like a sick turkey? A widow

How to Avoid a Bad Husband.

The following rules will teach young
ladies how to avoid the catching Of a
bad husband
l. Never marry for wealth. A wo.
mans life consistent not in those things
that she possesseth.
2. Never marry fop, or one who
struts about dandy like, in kid gloves,
cane, and rings on his fingers. Beware
there is trap
3. Never marry niggard, or close
listed, mean, sordid man, whossave ev
cry penny, or spends it grudingly. Take
care, lest he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger, or one
whose character is not known or tested.
Some women jump right into the fire
with their eyes wide open.
5. Never marry nope or drone, or
one who drawls and draggles through
life, one foot after another, and lets things
take their chances.
6. Never marry man who treats bis
mother and sister unkindly or indtfer-
emily. Such treatment is a sure indica-
ton of meanness and wickedness.
Z. Never, on any account, marry a
gambler, profane person, one who in
the least speaks lightly Of God or of re-
lgion. Such man can never make a
good husband.
s. Never marry sloven, a man who
is negligent Of his person or dress, and
