THE boys don't do things now like they
did when Noah Webster was making spell
ing books. An old man near Pleasantyllle,
the other day, found a rude boy posting
Lydia Thompson leg bills all over bis door
yard fence, and desired him to deslst out
the Young sauce-box told him plainly he
would not, and slapped up another naughty
picture. Won't you" said the old man,
q then I win fetch you down." So he pulled
ont horse-pistol and shot several times at
him, but this only made the youngster laugh,
for the old man was cross-eyed and could not
hit a barn-door. "Well, well" said the old
man, elf neither words nor horse-pistol will
do, must try what virtue there is In nitro
glycerine;" SO that old man pulled out Q
two-qrlart can of torpedo mixture and eN-
ploded it under the chap, who coolly whis-
tied "If Ever Cease to Love-" while the
old man went roaring away into the sky like
