To Cure a Smoky Chimney.

Joe Smith called at B. Holtons one day and
found him almost choked with smoke, when he
suggested:
You don't know as much about managing a
smoky chimney as do squire, or you'd cure
en-"
did you ever see smoky chimney cured p
said Holton.
''Seen smoky chimney cured" said Joe.-
Il think | have [ had the worst one in Sea-
much
''How was that?" asked Hilton.
''Why you see, said Joe, you see, built
a little house out yonder at Wolf Hollow ten or
twelve years ago.; Jim Bush, the fellow that
built the chimney, kept blind drunk three quar-
tiers of the time, and crazy drunk the rest. [
told him that he would have something wrong,
but he stuck to it and finished the house. Well
we moved in and built fire next morning to
boil the kettle. All the smoke came through
the room and went out of the windows not
bit went up the fues. We tried it for two or
three days, and it grew worse and worse. By
and by it began to rain, and the rain began to
come down the chimney 1t put out the fire
in minute, and directly it came down by the
pailfull. We had to get the baby off the floor
as soon as we could, or it would have been
drowned. In fifteen minutes the water stood
knee deep on the floor Then [ went out and
took look. 1t didn' t rain half SO hard outs
side, and pretty soon saw what was the mat
ter. The drunken cuss had put the chimney
wrong end up, and it drawed downwards; it
gathered all the rain within hundred yards,
and poured it down by bucketsful.
well, thatwas unfortunate, remarked Hol-
ton. But what in the world did you do with
the house? Surely you never cured that CHM
neyp'
But I did, though" answered Joe. %
"How?"
Turned the other end up" said the incor-
rigible, land then you ought to have seen it
draw. That's the way cured it too much
drew too much?' asked Hoton.
well, squire, you may judge for YOURSELF
said old Joe. Pretty soon after we got the
chimney down and the other end up, [ missed
one of the chairs out of the room, and directly
| see another of EN- shooting towards the fire
place. Next the table went, and then I saw
the backlog going up. Then [ grabbed the
old woman under one arm and the baby under
tother, and started but just as [ reached the
door seen the cat going across the floor back
wards holding on with her claws to the carpet,
and yelling awfully But it warn't no use. I
Just seen her going over the top of the chimney,
and that was the last.
"Well, what did you do, then?' asked Hol-
ton. 'Of course you couldn't live in such
house"
Couldn't I, thought said Joe; 'but I
did. l put poultice on the jam of the fire
place, and that drawed t'other way; so We had
no more trouble"

Oil I love the prettiest girl in town!
Her hair and eyes are Bismark brown,
And her dimpled face is Bismark, too;
Bismark the shape of her dainty shoe!
On her gay turban, of Bismark hue,
There roosteth Bismark cock-a-too
And the finest hand, within my own,
Is snugly encased in Bismark brown.
A snow-white coat, with Bismark border,
Bound to fit like special order;"
With enormous buttons of Bismark brown,
And trimmed at the neck with goosie's down.
I look in her eyes, of Bismark TINT
That gaze on me with Bismark squlnt;
l squeeze the hand of the Bismark brown,
And vow I'm the noblest cove in tow n.
NV arm doth encircle the Bismark waist;
/ snatch from her Bismark lips taste.
And the matchless bust, if l may be bold,
Is tinted LA Bismark'-so / m told.
And when propose to the Bismark girl
She'll toss her head with single curl
While the softest hand, of Bismark brown,
Costly nestles within my own.
