A Joke That Missed Fire.

CooLEY's Oldest boy Is little too fond
OF playing practical jokes. The other
evening he went up into the third-story
back room in which the hired man
sleeps, and fixing piece of stout Irvine
to the bed-clothes he ran it downstairs
into his own room, with the intent to re-
move the covers from the hired man as
soon as that individual got into bed. The
Cooleys had just taken down their win
ter stoves, and they had the parlor stove
standing temporarily at the head of the
thlrd-story stairs. The man discovered
the string just as he was re firing, and.
compromising the motive of the in
tended trick, he quietly united it, and
fastened 1t to the stove. The boy mean
time had gone to bed and forgotten
about the string. But about ten o'clock
Mr.. Cooley, who was upstairs getting
apples In the garnet, caught his foot in
the string as he was coming down the
steps. He fell, and pulled the stove
over after him, and the next moment
Cooley, pan of apples, and about forty
pieces OF stove, stoVe-pipe, CRATES and
brick lining were rafting downstairs
with noise like volley of musketry.
AS Cooley lay on the landing, with pile
of apples and cast-iron heaped upon him,
Mrs. Cooley and the boy and the
servants came rushing out to ascertain
what on earth was the matter. AS they
approached, Cooley said:
" Terrible, WASH it? Awfulest earth
quake we ever had in this country"
= Was there q real earthquakes" asked
Mrs. Cooley. 1" | didn't feel shake"
Didn't feel it," exclaimed Cooley
taking stoVe-leg out of his shirt collar
and brushing the SCOT from his clothes.

slons. These scientific men say that the
shake always moves kinder in waves
from east to west, so that if it comes
from the - Hello! what's this 81 ex-
claimed Cooley, discovering the Irvine
wrapped around his leg. Who tied that
string TO that there stove?"
As he looked around inouiringly he
observed his oldest boy suddenly mount
upon the bannister and glide swiftly
down to the first floor, where he stood
waiting for an offensive movement on
the part of his father. Then Cooley
leaned over the railing, and, shaking his
fist at him, said:
You wicked little scoundrel, if Won
amt candidate for the gallows I'm no
judge. You come up here and 90 to
bed, and tomorrow morning I'll tan
your hide for you with bed-slat. You
mind me? I'll give you enough earth
quake to make you dance from here to
the equator, you tow-headed outcastm
Then the family went to bed, and the
boy crept softly up the kitchen stairs,
thinking there was not much fun in
such jokes, anyhow MAJ Adelor, IN n.

THE FARMER KING.

The farmer sat in his old armchair,
Rosy and fair,
Contented there,
Kate, DECLARE"
He said to hts wife, who was knitting near,
g We need not fear
The hard times here,
Though the leaf Of life is yellow and sere.
@'pm the king and you are the queen
OF this fair scene,
Those fields of green
And gold between,
These cattle grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill,
And sheep so still,
Like many held by single will.
!" These barnyard fowls are our subjects all;
They heed the call,
And like a squat
On fast wings fall,
Whenever we scatter for them the grain.
IT'S not in vain
We live and reign
In this our happy and calm domain.
"And whether the days be dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
These lands of mine,
These fields of thine,
In cloudy shade and in sunny glow,
VIII overflow
With crops that grow,
When gold is high and when it is low.
8 UnVeXed with shifting of stocks and shares.
And bulls ard bears,
And strifes ana cares,
And the affairs
OF speculation in mart and street,
In this retreat
Sweet peace can meet
With plenty on her rural beat"
