q, MR.. OoOLBY's THIRD.

My heighbor Cooley married u hi
third wife short time ago, and the da,
after he, came home with her his oldes
boy, the son of his first wife, came
into the roohi where she was sitting
alone sewing. Placing his elbows on
the table he began to be sociable. The
followingFconversation ensued:
Boy-how long d'you expect ,yon'll
last? '''1
Mrs. What on earth do you
mean? es -
BayAWhy ma, she held on for about
ten years. I reckon you're good for as
much as her. 1 hope so anyhow. I'm
kinder sick of funerals. They made
an awful fuss when they slowed ma
away, and q bigger howl when thew
planted Emma. So I'd jes' as leave
you'd keep around awhile. But pa, he
has his doubts about it.
Mrs. C.-Doubts! Tell me what You
mean this instant. teot,l a 80
Boy-Oh, nothing! Only the day
Emma got. away, pa came home from
the funeral, and when he ripped the
Grape off his hat he chucked ii in the
bureau drawer and said: 4" Lay there
till l want you again, SO I s'pose the
old man must be expectin' you to step
out some time or other. In fact, I
seen him conversin' with the undertaken
yesterday; maxim some kind of per-
manent contract with him, I spose.
The old man is always.ewin' people
down. ~ la'F" sie s..-Cl.
Mrs. C-You ought to be ashamed
to talk Of your father in that manner.
Boy-Oh, he don't mind it. I often
hear the fellows jokin' him about his
wives. He likes it. He's a good ma
tured man. Anybody can get along
with him if they understand him. Ali
you've got to do is to be sweet on him
and he'll be like o lamb. Now, Emma,
she used to get mad, heave plate, or
coal scuttle, most anything at him.
And ma, she'd blow him up about 15,-
600 times a day; both of them would
bang me till got disgusted. And pa
didn't like it. Treat me we'll, give me
candy and money, and you've got pa.
sure. Emma used to smack me; and
when pa said he was opposed to it she'd
go at him with an umbrella or flat iron
and naanl hina.-I guess you and me
will jag alens al rss sht togaihar. and hy.
the time pa gets another wife TIL be
big enough not to care how many airs
she puts on. What 1 want is time.
You stick three OF four years and then
the old man can consolidate as much as
he's mind to, and won't scare worth
a cent. It's only the fair thing any
way. Enough of this family's money
has been used ON cofflns and tomb
stones, and We ought to knock off for
q while, Good morning. I believe
I'll go to school. ''''
Mrs. Cooley did not enjoy her honey
moon as much as she had expected.

Close upon the shore of Lake Win
nepiseogee is town, and in that town
dwelis man whom we will call Am ber.
Mr.. Amber keeps a store; and, as he is
a genial, accommodating man, he Keeps
for sale everything which the good peo-
pie in the country can reasonably expect
him to keep. Particularly has it been
the practice of Mr.. Amber to keep a
barrel of whisky on tap in his cellar.
One in the fall and one in the spring
will generally carry him through. He
is very careful to whom he sells, and, so
far as is known, the authorities have
never given him any trouble.
One day Mr.. Eliphalet Spooner en-
tered the store with o slight protuber-
ance visible upon his left breast. Mr..
Spooner was deacon and most pro-
per man. lie called the merchant aside
and asked him if had any good whisky.
Amber nodded in the affirmative.
"Will you let me have pint?" and
the deacon pulled from his breast pocket
pint bottle. h s.,..
Certainly said the trader; and
forthwith he departed for the cellar.
When he returned be brought the bot
tie, carefully wiped and corked.
"What is to pay?"
Fifty cents"
"Mr. Spooner handed him over a
ffty-cent scrip, and then, in hesltat-
ing way, drew the cork. He placed the
bottle to his lips and tasted, just drop,
TO test the quality of the liquor. He
did this twice, and the expression OF his
face was one Of hesitation and doubt.
"Mr. Amber" he said, I'm getting
this for my wife. Is this the very best

eyes, certainly"
"If that is the case" The SELL
tence was finished with q smile; and
reaching forth for the bottle. .
Down into the cellar went the store
keeper again. There wasDo need that
he should empty the bottle and refill it.,
for he had but one solitary barrel from
which to draw, 30 he took turn around
and soon came back. wiping the bottle
afresh. H Ir .,a
"I shall have to charge you eighty
seven cents for this, MIR. Spooner."
Having paid the extra change with
the utmost cheerfulness, Mr.. Spooner
placed the bottle again to his lips and
tasted critically. >4sq aas al .tn
"Ahr' he muttered, with bright
smile and graceful nod, this is some

And he went away entirely satisfied.
And Mr.. Amber, also, Notwithstanding

to be. satisfied, if one might judge from
the quiet smile that illuminated his rub.
