groom elect (who was to have received
$4,000 down on his wedding-day, and
further sum Of 100000 on his father.in.

oily soon occur) had little jealous squad:

The tiff" arose in consequence Of his pay
ing more attention than she thought justi-
fable to lady with sparkling eyes and
inimitable ringlets.
The gentleman retorted, and spoke taunt-
ingly of certain cousin whose waistcoas
was the admiration of the company and
hinted that it had been embroidered by the
fair heress herself. He added that it
would be soon enough for him to be school,
ed after they were married, and that she
adopted the "breeches" little too soon.
After the supper they became reconciled
apparently, and the bridegroom elect, in
taking leave, was kind and affectionate.

the wind had shifted, caught the ear Of tn,

Tommy and the Turkey.


Tommy had a kite new aud Gue one,
which his big brother John had made for
him. Tommy went out one fine day to fly
his kite How that kite did fy, and what
a happy boy was Tommy! 1t was great
fun, to be sure, but after a while the best
of fun, even that Of flying a new kite, be-
comes tiresome, and Tommy thought at
length that he had had enough Of it. Then
came the winding in of the string, which
was almost as much fun as letting it out,
Down came the kite, every now and then
giving an angry toss, as if it did not like to
be taken away from its fine place up in the
air, where it could look down upon every
thing. But Tommy kept on winding in
the string, until at last, when quite near
the earth, the saucy kite gave toss of its
tail, and came head.foremost with a pitch
to the ground. You may be sure that
Tommy was over the fence in minute TO
pick up his kite, and what was his sur
prise to see that it had come down in the
midst Of flock Of turkeys, and that the
slack Of the string was directly around the
neck of the old gobbler 1t was very
respectable gobbler, hut not at all used to
such tricks as this of the kite, so he imme-
diately showed fight, and began to twist
himself up worse and worse with the kite
string Tommy made hard struggle for
his kite, but when he recovered it, it was
not at all the beautiful new one that he
had sent up that morning but poor, torn,
draggled kite, that would have put its tail
between its legs only you see it had nc
legs. Tommy never liked that gobber ai-
ter the atTray. Some months afterwards il
came the gobbler's turn to furnish the fam
lily dinner, and when it appeared on the
table Tommy looked nightly pleased. The
rest of the family could not guess why
Tommys face wore such broad grin, but
he knew, and we think YOU do, too

An Arkansas local soliloquises thus
" Some Of our exchanges are publishing as
a curious item, a statement to the effect
that horse in Iowa pulled the plug out Of
a bunghole of a barrel for the purpose Of
slaking his thirst. We do not see anything
extraordinary in the occurrence. Now, if
the horse had pulled the barrel out Of the
bunghole and saked his thirst with the
plug, or if the barrel had pulled the buDg-
hole of the plug and slakcd its thirst with the
horse, or if the plug bad pulled the horse
out Of the barrel and slaked its thirst with
the bughole, or if the bunghole had pulled
the thirst out Of the horse and slakcd the
plug with the barrel, or if the barrel had
pulled the horse out of the bunghole and
plugged its thirst with the slake, it might
be worth while to make some fuss over it,"
