HUMOROUS.

A MAN in London lately, In max
ing O return of his income to the tax
commissioners, wrote on the paper,
For the last three years, my income
has BEEN somewhat under hundred
and fifty pounds. In future, it viii
be more precarious, as the man is
dead from whom L borrowed most of
the money"
A ooUNTRY1IAE, stroling through
New London recently, hand in hand
with his Phyllis, impatient to visit
the circus, exclaimed, on seeing a
bunch OF bananas suspended in front
of one of the fruit stores, ''Ill be
moved, Sophrony, if them amt the
biggest beans l ever seen r
A MINISTER said he once preached
q very peculiar sermon-soothing,
stirring, and satisfying. It was so
soothing, that half the congregation
went to sleep; so stirring. that the
remainder left before he had finish
ed; and so satisfying, that none of
them ever came to hear him preach
again.
a YOUNG lady, seeking a situation,
was interested in an advertisement
for some one to do light house keep
ing So she wrote to the advertiser,
asking where the lighthouse was,
andif there was any way of getting
to shore on Sunday.
A FRENCHRIAN took o room In Par
is on condition that the landlady
would wake him up every morning
at eight o'clock, and tell the day of
the week, the state Of the weather,
and under what form of government
he lived.
A WESTERN preacher thus winds
up definition of eternity: Why,
my friends, after millions of years
have rolled away In the most hallu-
ciating delights, it will be hundred
years to breakfast time"
CONNER likeness of yourself sent,
and your fortune told. Young Green,
in answer to the above advertise
ment, receives a looking glass, and is
informed that he can tell his own
fortune by counting his money.
AN INDIANA bride, after the conclu-
sion of the marriage ceremony, ask
ed the minister to give out the hymn,
"This is the way long have sought. "
A COUPLE, being married on the
10Th of February, were told by the
minister that they could celebrate
their silver wedding in just a hun
dred years.
SHORTLY after the installation of a
new Justice of the Peace, Pat @. en-
tered the Office in great hurry and
accosied the Justice, saying: met
man across the way who struck me
just so"-giving the Justice a poke
in the ribs-''will you tell me what
1 could do to him?" ''Wen, sir" re-
piled the Justice, 'I should have
served him just Sc" giving Pat a
kick that sent him bowling out of
the Office.

VIRGINIA CREEPERs

are a foreign plant first introduced
into our country by Caesar, and are
healthy growers. They make their
appearance in the South early in the
spring, and being hardy they con-
tinue to bloom throughout the sea-
son. They are very fragrant.
These, Mr.. Editor, are some of our
most interesting domestic produc-
tons, and hope many of them are
familiar to your readers. Yours,

saw weak one on her way
Go sad and silent by,
Nor beeded.she the lovely day
Nor golden tinted sky.
But gliding swiftly on alone,
AS though she Stunned the light,
Her face as pale as chiseled stone.
She disappeared from sight.
Sweet roses grew along her path.
The brook went babbling by.
Yet in the child Of shame and wrath
They Weakened not sigh.
Too hopeless was her heart.
Too sick her sinful soul;
Her signs and smiles were those Of art
And long-enforced control,
Reserved for those as stained as she.
Their spurned and homeless slave,
Who longed to end her misery
In an unnoticed grave.
And yet it was but yesterday,
Or so to me it seems,
saw maiden fair and gay,
And full of youthful dreams.
Whose days to measures of delight
Danced merTily along.
And sped the silver sands Of night
Mid mirthfulness and song.
And pleasure filed unto the hrim,
Her cup one crowned with love,
While she gave homage unto him
Due only God above.
But 10 her idol turned to brass,
His heart to hardest steel,
nd brittle as the frailest glass
The love he feigned to ell.
And ali ! too late it was to turn,
sAnd hence the wiser grow;
For she was destined soon to learn
The depths Of human woe.
Then pity her, ye sisters all.
As Christ has pitied you;
Andif Sc would not like her fall,
In everything be true.
And ye who Icgislate our laws,
Or seek the public good.
See that de'tructiOn's frequent cause
Shall meet the doom it ;hould.
We send the forger and the thief
Down TO the gloomy goal;
What shall we do with Sstan's chief,
The slayer Of the SOUL

You can clear your rooms of the
merciIess mosquitoes by taking a
piece Of gum camphor about one
one third the size OF a hens egg, and
evaporating it by placing it in tin
vessel, holding it over a lamp or
candle, taking care that it does not
ignite. The smoke viii soon fill the
room and expel the pests.

All people who make n con-
slant use of steel pens, occasional
ly experience a sensation of numb
ness in the fore-fnger and thumb.
The metallic pen, pressed closely in
writing, does actually conduct off
electricity so rapidly as to produce
a palsy of those particular members
in some highly organized persons.
A cure is simply a resumption of the
oid-fashioned goose quill-the best
kind for anybody.

A FRIEND of Dean Swift's one day
sent him him a turbot as a present
by q servant-lad, who had frequently
been on similar errands, but had
never received anything from the
Dean for his trouble. Having gain

door. and putting down the fish, on
the floor, cried out, rudely, master

the Dean going out, came up to the
door, and making low bow, said:
ssSir. master presents his kind com
pliments, hopes you are well, and
requests your acceptance Of a small
present." "Does he?" replied the
bow. Return him my best thanks,
and there's a half crown for your
self" The Dean, thus caught in his
own trap, laughed heartily, and gave
the boy crown for his ready wit.

Trout Breeding.

The Taunton Mass Republican
says trout raising is carried on ex-
tonsiveiy in Berkley, by three gentle
men. They have an estate upon
which there is an excellent spring;
and have erected suitable sluice-ways
and breeding house for trout, and
also a dwelling house for the man
who devotes his time TO the rearing
of this rare fish. The number now
in the breeding tanks is estimated at
forty-five thousand, varying from
one to three icnhes in length. In
the sluice-way there are several hun
bred much larger trout, some OF
them weighing two or three pounds.

SOME ONE has written to the I'M
Uersity Monthly to inquire if any
changes in the weather are attribute
BILE to The influence of the moon.
The editor referred the communica-
ton to Commodore Maury. His
answer will disappoint a great many
weatherwise folks The changes of
the moon have no effect upon the
weather. The moon changes, says
Commodore Maury, every Y days,
consequently every change in the
weather must take place within the
period of So days, seither before or
after a moon changes. Hence the
popular fallacies about her changes
and the weather, for every weather
change must be within 36 days be-
fore OF after moon charge, and her
worshippers give her all the credit
for it. The moon governs the tides,
but not the atmosphere. The most
faithful observers have failed to de-
tect any tide in the latter, or any
variabIeness under the moon infu-
ence. So this vexed question may
be considered as set at rest, and we
can defy the weather prophets.
