WOULDN'T BE MEAN ABOUT IT--A couple
of fat,boat men on the Mississippi River hav-
ing made an extraordinary good speculation,
concluded that while they were In New Orleans
they would go for frst-cass hotel dinner at
the ST. Charles Hotel. Having eaten the meal,
they called for their bill. The waiter in at
tendance misunderstood them, and supposing
that they wanted the bill of fare, laid it before
them with the wine list uppermost.
"Whcw. Bill y said Jerry, here is a bill !!
Just look at it Here, you add up one side
aud I'll add up the other, and well see what
the old thing comes to- So Bill added up the
prices of wines one side of the list, and Jerry
added them up on the other, and they made
the sum total Ssh
''Wh-ew Bill said Jerry that's pretty
nigh all we've got What are you going to do
about it,
we can't pay that" said Bill, lit I'D clean
us right out. The waiter amt here nov, let's
jump out the window and put -
NO, stree, said Jerry, I'D never do sich
a mean thing as that. Let's pay the bill and
then go down stairs and shoot the landlord .

A Quaker Printers Proverbs.

Never sendest thou an article for pnbiies-
tion without giving tho editor thy name. tor
thy name oitentimes secures publication To-
worthless articles.
Thou shouIdst not rap at the, door Of e
printing Office, for he that auswcreth the rap
sneercth in his sleeves and loseth time.
Never do thou loaf about, ask questions or
knock down type, or the boys will love You
like they do shade trees-whep you -Iesyoth.
Thou shouIdst never read the copy on the
printers case. or the sharp aud hooked con.
tainer thereof, or he may knock thee down.
Never inquire thou of the editor for tho
news, for behold it is his business at the an.
pointed time to give to thee without asking.
1t is not right that thou shouldst ask him,
who is the author of an article, for il is his
duty to keep such thinga unto himself.
When thou dost enter his office. take heed
unto thyself that thou dost not look at what
may be laying open and coucerneth thee not,
for that is not meet in the sight of good
breeding
Neither examine thou the proof sheet, for
it is not ready to meet thine eye that thou
maYest understand
Prefer thine own town paper to any other.
Gnd subscribe for it Immediately.
Pay for it in advance, and it shall be we'll
with thee aud thine.

distance of twelve or fifteen miles, there lives
or did live, twenty years ago-a great
number OF small farmers, who find in that
city ready market for tho surplus produces
OF their farms, and there they carry it to sell,
and buy tincry and nick>nacks for their fami,
lies. One of these farmers. poor but in.

when he "woke the market people were crowd

Gas old Harry Clay lived within mile of
the market, and every man here was ready to
90 to the death for him, this was bold speech,
to accuse Clay man of stealing half pig in
Lexington, and they closed on him to give
him sound thrashing; when one demanded
of him what made him think SO.
"Why, nobody but Clay man would
have done it; cf he had been a Jackson man
he would have gono the whole hog"
''This turned the tables The humor of
the robbed farmer was Irresistible. The Lex
ingtonans carried him off to coffec,h house to
n hot breakfast and morning spree; and
after drinking to the health of Henry CLAY,
they made up his loss, and sent him home
