pennies for several weeks past, yester-
day resolved to 90 hunting, but as

greater amount in gunpowder, which
he placed in his pants pocket. He had
Just one cent more than enough, and

SNEEzING.-Have you ever contem,
plated the expression Of man who
wanted to sneeze-and can't? The
world and its beauties seem to lose all
charms for him. He fixes his gaze on
the heavens and seems lost in things
celestial. A puzzled, queer look passes
over his courtenauce as if he didn't
know whether to laugh or cry, and
hadn't time to ask any ones opinion as
to which would be the best under the
circumstances. His mouth flies open
and tongue runs out as ii the hinge Of
one were broken and the other had
got united at the lower end. A few
short snorts, gasp or two, and then
he looks all around as if astonished.
Again he repeats this performance.
He raises on his toes and "ah.ah- all
ali" is the sound that gurgles from his
throat like water from hal! empty
bottle. Oh, the agony OF o
failure. His whole soul now seems to
be wrapped up in the attempt to sneeze.
The annou ncement that he had fallen
heir.to q fortune or a chancery law
suit would give him no JOY now. This
sueezing business must be attended to.
His hands con7ulsively clepch, his eyes
close, his breath comes thick and short
and that mysterious "ah-ah.ah" is all
the sound he can make till he crosses the
Rubicon and a glorious "ah-ah-ah
atichezoo'oo" rings out on the startled
air, and informs the astonished world
that the act is accomplished. Then see
how happy and couten ted our sneeEer
looks. From his face one would think
that all the JOY of the blessed in Par
adise is his. Had he convuored worlds
he could not look more happy than
when be had concluded a clearing, de-
lightful, frame shaking sneeze.
