a LITTLE WORSE THAN a JOKE.


A few days ago a wealthy citizen of
New Orleans entered a drug store,
and seeing bottle of whisky nearthe
water cooler, proceeded to take
drink. The druggist saw him from
an inner room, and sauntering into the
store, said to his clerk: James, ,ssbe
very careful about the whisky haye
just put someacerrosive sublimate into
it. What? cried the excited citi-
zen, his eyes almost protruding from
their sockets. What did you say 90
"This bottle" the druggist :" has just
been medicated for particular par
pose.~ Oh" groaned the citizen, his
knees bending under him until he fell
helpless on the floor; 81 have just
drank some of it, and already 1 feel
the fiery stuff burning me up" ou
don't say SO cried the druggist; how
shocking~ p "If you've got stomach
pump, hurry and put it to work p
And the victims body shook and
trembled as if in the extremity of an
guish. Finally he was told that the
matter was jest. He straightened
up, and, looking into the faces around
him, saw that he had beed imposed
on. 1t may be so, doctor; it may be
so; but never should have found it
out. If chats the liquor you make
your prescriptions with, 1 am not sur
prised that SO many patients die"

4 rEMPERANcE ANEcpoEE.

The Hancock Courier is responsi-
for the following:
"Over in our neighboring city of
Tif1in, aonce upon a time" q young
theological student was delivering a
temperance lecture, and proving by
the Bible, which he had open before
him, that strong drink was injurious
to man and q sin against God. Now
in that city lives a man known as
Cooper K, who is very fond of his
bitters. just as the young man had
got fairly warmed up in bis subject,
old Cooper X. came in, pretty well
poisoned and took a seat. After sit
ting few minutes, he arose in his
seat, and steadying himself, he point
ed his finger at the lecturer and said
" Young man, (hic), young man, (hic),
don't you know that that Book (hic)
only mentions. one man (hic) who
asked for water and he was in h-N
(hic), araere he ought to bep The con-
verts to the cold water cause were not
numerous that night"

now one of the leading Good Tenn
plars of Ohio.-Ottaaca County Neecs.

Then is the time with soothing care
Thy loving tears to shed
Gricve with them o'er the friends they've lost
But lead them still ON high.
And whisper that their bnd of hope
Shall blossom in the sky.
And IL there be some reckless one
Fast Fastening to the tomb,
Then to his rescue stretch thy hand.
And save him from its gloom;
Tell Of another. brighter home,
Away rom SINS dark wiies,
And guide him ON with heartfelt words
Andeheering loving smiles
And shouIdst thou meet eartIl,s guilty ones,
OH then upbraid them not
Nor think though cold and hard they seem
That love is all forgot;
Itmdy be that one gentle word
The eeft'ning heart may cope;
While bitter ones the soul would wound,
And chose the fount Of hope
It's thus tone, a simple sound.

4 LOVER on THE RAMPAGE.


It is singular what episode the ten
der passion sometimes occasions. 1t
is not unfrequently the cause of bill
liousness, producing dyspepsia and
other complaints of the digestive or
gans it has been asserted that collie is
sometimes the result of il, and won
derfui tendency to melancholy is Gre
ated by it Meditative aaIks, silent
reveries, and self-communion springs
from the first advance OF The observ-
ing emotion. These are common and
anticipated results but It has been
left to Julius Cober TO disclose new
feature in the universal nalady. 1t
seems that Julius had been smitten
with the bright eyes and rosy cheeks
of cabbage vender in the Poydras
market. He visits her daily, and
dimes in her presence on rashes of ba-
con and cold vegetables, and on one
of these occasions summoned suffi-
cient courage to proffer his suit. But
his embarrassment caused him so
much excitement that he actually
overturned jug of cafbolic acid,
which had been put under the table
by the maiden's respectable progeni-
tor. The noxious fluid spread upon
the pavement, and most offensive
odor arose from it.. aT
What's that ?" inquired the little
maiden, elevating her olfaetory mem-
Der, and making evident signs of dis
tress.a
It's my love, continued Julius,
oblivious in his excitement to the
smell, and supposiug her inquiry to
refer to his attachment
Oh, myl You don't tell me that's
love ?~
"Of course it is, my dear. You
have no idea how strong it is.n
Yes have-my goodness /" ex-
claimed the beauty, as julius feet
stirred the sediment and a more sick
ening odor arose.
Why, it's terrible"
Indeed it is; and I'll certainly die
if you don't marry me.
And will it always be this way p
and again the little pug nose shot up
in the air.
Always"
]. 1t won't be SO violent, but just as
strong.
4-L-I-don't think like to be
loved, sir; it smells too bad.
What!a exclaimed julius, with
another scrape of his foot-and this
time obtained good draugnt of the
carbolic acid. S9 3FiT
g 1t smells so ~ the little maiden re-
peated.
g But that amt loye-its something
under the table,
oh, well, now, thought as how
when people loved they smelt."
aOh, nolu said Julius; and an i'm
mediate search revealed the cause Of
the offensive odor.n
It is useless to say that thereupon
Julius became happy and his sweet
heart radiant.
