STORY OF Two CALvEs.-Jim Smith was
o noted auctioneer. One day he was selling
farm stock. Among the articles to be sold
was heifer very attractive in her appearance
and consequently "Jim" dwclt quite exten.
sively on her excellencies, winding up his ell
oquent flourish that she was as ''gentle as
lamb"
Thereupon long, slab sided couutryman,
whose legs were some twelve inches longer
than his pants, approaching the heifer, stoop-

Bessy, not relishing such familiarity, lifted
her hoofs and laid "Greeny" sprawling some
ten feet off.

best traits she'll never allow strange calf
to come near her ]"
"Greeny" meanwhile picked himself up,
and giving his bushy pate narrowing scratch,
exclaimed: "No wonder, when her own calf
has been bleating around her all day w

The LAST CHICKEN GoNE-When the
Conference assembled in Hillsboro, some years
since, on the last day of the session, lad,
whose father had entertained some half a
dozen preachers, entered the room where the
ministers were seated in a terrible state of
excitement
"What's the matter, Isaac ?" asked one,
You seem excited"
Excited amt excited; I'm mad all
over"
"What are you mad about Isaac? Don't
you know it's wrong to suffer yourself to be-
come angered ?"
"Wrong or not wrong, it's enough to make
anybody mad but preacher. Here's every
chicken on the place eat up, except the old
rooster, and just now he happened to get
glimpse of you fellows, and sung out, sAnd
must this feeble body-y dice, and dropped
over stone dead"

lean, slab.sided Yankee, every feature of

little circumstance soon proved that he pos

Before him, occupying the entire seat: sat

"Hum !-cholery "a trading man, may

"Was they 7" asked the down Easter, his
eyes frightening up.
"Pious man ?'
"He was a member of the Methodist

The next question was delayed, but it came.
"Dou't you think you have great cause
TO be thankful he was pious man and saved
bis chist ?"

her head to look out of the window. The in
defatigable "pump" changed his position,
held the widow by his glittering eye once
more, and propounded to her one more query
ina little lower tone, with his head slightly
inclined forward over the back of the seat,
then the delicate question came out:
'Was you calculating to get married AGAIN."
"Sir," said the widow, Indignantly, "you
are impertinent."
And she left her seat, and took another on
the other side of the car.
"Pears to be little huffy!" said the inef

him; "she needn't be mad don't want to
hurt her feelings. What did they made you
pay for that umbrella you've got in your
hand? It's real pooty one"
No answer was given to the impertinent
queerist and he was let alone to his own
musings the remainder of the journey.
