HUMOROUS.
A Hard Story.

A Philadelphia paper says: There is a
doctor in the northwestern part of this con-
solidated city who is especially remarkable
for being, as the women term it, 'short and
crusty."
A week or two since he was called to visit
patient who was laboring under severe
attack of cheap whiskey.
swell, doctor, I'm down you SECTIONS
pletely foored have got the tremen-
delirium, you know"
'sTremens, you fool! Where'd you get
your rum ?"
"All over in spots; broke out promiscu,
ously, DOCTOR"
"Served you right,
"Father died of the same disease it took
him under the short ribs and carried him off
bodily"
"Well you have got to take something i'm
mediateIy."
"You are trump. Doc Here; wife, I'll
take nip of old rye" -
"Lie still. you blockhGad! Mrs. B. if
your husband should get worse before l re-
turn, which will be in au hour, give him a
dose of that trunk strap; may be that will
fetch him to a sense of his folly"
The doctor sailed out grand!y, and within
an hour sailed in again. and found his friend
of the tremendous dciirium" in terrible
condition, writhiug and struggling with pain.
His wife, female of the kind, but ignorant
school, came up aud laying her hand on the
doctors arm, said :.
doctor 1 gave him the strap, as you di-
rectcd"
"Did you thrash him well?"
"Thrash him 7" exclaimed the astouished
woman, :'Do but put the strap into hash and
made him swallow it y
ooh, Lord, doctor ~ reared the victim, ~
swallowed the leather, but-but-"
"But-what p
81 swallowed the whole strap, but I'm
darned if [ could 90 the buckle"
The doctor administered two bread pills and
evaporatGd.

.POETIOAL.
TO MY HAT.

Friends must part. and so must We,
Though the parting sad will be.
Old hat.
Thou, my old and well-trjed friend,
Canst no more my steps attend,
Or from harm my head defend.
We have. many and many a day,
Close compa MONS, kept our way;
Whether sad or whether gay,
Thou to me hath surely Geen
Dearest hat these eyes have seen,
We have travelled long together.
Seen ali kinds OF wind and weather.
Old hat.
Rain and hail, and vGul blows.
Sunshine, storm. and driSing snows,,
All the changes nature knows,
An that,
y, --s.a Old hat,
You and have seen, and more.
Since tho time when out of store,
1 did wear thee, big with pride;
On nv head thou tipped, didst ride,
Hat o. all the hats beside,
Old hat.
Now thy form ID surely battered,
And thy sides are sotely tattered,
And thy brim is sorely shattered,
Old hat.
And thou lookest all so dusty,
And thou smellcst all so mnsty,
That say, Farewells.
Old hat,
Farewell.
