longing 10 the ogdensburg & Lake Champlan

JOB DoWLING's FUNERAL.

Some wears ago I was one of q party n
Washington City, when North . South
We'd with each other In convivial life.
Another Of the party was General Daw-
son. member from Western Pennsyl-
yania. whose homestead was Albert Cal
latin's old home. He was an admirable
story-teller. I recall somewhat sadly,
now that he is gone, how well he illus
trated the laziness of a class of Virgin
ians. The story was a part OF his Con-
gressional canvassing. On one occasion
he got across the Pennsylvania . INTO
a little village of Virginia. He was IN
the midst of a group around the tavern.
While treating and talking, a procession
approached. which looked like a funeral.
He asked who was to be buried
"Job Bowling" said they.
.Poor Job p sighed the General.
He was a good-na:ured, good-for-noth-
ing, lazy fellow. living on the few fish he
caught and the squirrels he killed, but
mostly on the donations of his neighbors.
$50 poor Job is dead. is he?
"No, he amt dead. 'zactly," said they.
mot dead not d.. Yet you are 60
ing to bury him ?"
"Fact is, General, he has got too in
fernal alfred lazy to live. We can't
afford him any more. He's got SO lazy
that the grass began to grow over his
shoes-so everlastin' lazy he put ont one
of his eyes to save the trouble Of winkin'
when he went a-gunnin'."
"But," says the General. "this must
not be. 1t will disgrace my neighbor-
hood. Try him a while longer, can't
you 2"
Cant; too ~late-coffn cost ST. 25.
Must 60 on now"
About this time the procession came
up and halted, when the General pro-
POSED, if they would let Job out, he would
send over a bag of corn. On this an
nouncement the lids of the coffin opened,
and Job languldly sat up the cents
dropped from his eyes as he asked, SIS
the corn shelled, General ?"

"Then," said Job, as he lazily lay
down, "go on with the funeral !"-Har-

The English sense of wit and humor
Is of a different sort from that which pre-
walls on this side the water. The humor
must be decidedly broad, or the Briton
is inclined to take it for dead earnest.
The sayings of the Detroit. Free Press
man, who has immortalized the Judge
and Bijah by making them the most
ridiculous of absurdities, are receiving
some attention from the English press.
The London Telegraph, after criticising
some of his court scenes, gravely says [:
1--WE may not approve of POPULARITY in a
magisterial court, but on the whole it
may be questioned whether the mirthful
readiness of the American Judge may
not be preferable to the solemn injustice
which local courts in England so fire.
quently witness" This is fully equal
to the deliberately expressed opinion of
an English paper chat Mark Twain was
guilty of considerable exaggeration in
his " Innocents Abroad" and especially
in that scene where the author displayed
SO much emotion over the tomb of his an
cestor, Adam.
