ODDS AND ENDS.

BACON WoRKs--Biliousnes and sick
headache.
He who goeth it blind sitteth down
upon the bent up pin, while the Observ-
ing man scanneth the chair seat before he
squatteth.
THIN ice and the confidence of child
hood, have given rise to great many
touching newspaper paragraphs this
season.
JAPANESE BARRIERS shave man, wash
his feet, brush his coat, hand him
cigarette and lottery ticket, bow
humbly and only ask for two cents.
A HOLLAND patent man, who has thir-
teen pounds of spoiled picked pork on
hand, is anxious to have them get up
donation to some of the ministers around
there.
A CHICAGO shirt-dealer has given up
coaxing and taken to bullying the public
to trade with him. A big placard in
front of his door reads, "Buy or will
bust"
THOSE bald-headed old doctors who
hugged "Katie King" when they thought
she was spirit, are Mortified to find it
was plump little widow, of the earth,
earthly.
IT might be expected that Californians
would take deep interest in well with
a bottom so far down that five thousand
three hundred and eighty-five feet of fish
line just reaches it.
NOTHING is so common in this world
f,II in 10
common to love. The one is the flower
that may bloom and wither in night
the other is the rich fruit from the flower,
that can survive the sun and storm, and
ripen to decay no more.
"Pve known many lass,
Who would thOughtessy pass
Whole hours parading the streets;
While the mother would scrub,
And rub at the tub,
Never mindng the cold nor the heat.
1t is so !! 1t is so!
You may smile is you like,
But it's so."
BEN. BUTLER said in speech in Con-
gress the other day that he stood erect
in the image of the God who made him,
and dealt with principles as seemed to
him right" If it gets out that Ben.
Butler is an image of God there will be a
mighty spread of inefidelity through
the country.---Mil,oaukce Neacs.
Miss NELSON is credited with the au-
thorship of this bit of wisdom: "With-
out printers---good and noble men every
where-the art perservative of art would
die" 1t is strange that this never oc-
Cured to us before, and we are now
moved to remark: Without actors and
actresses, what would become of the
drama! These thoughts are deep.
SPILKINs has hit upon happy ex-
pedient for popularizing science in the
family circle. For instance, at the break
fast table he remarks: Mrs. Spilkins,
will you be kind enough to replenish my
cup with the embodiments of solar infiu-
ences shed upon the surface of Chinese
soil also, if you please, two spOonsful OF
crystalized sunshine from jamaica; or,
Herodotus, my son, pass me the solid
form of sunshine absorbed by the pastures
of Orange county" With dictionary
and geography at each plate, the idea
works to a charm.
VALEKATE KING.-Visible messenger
from an invisible world, adieu! Beauti-
full spook of the lambent locks, fare
we'll Robert Dale Ovens occupations
gone. Twas only last June that, in re-
turn for ringlet from thy shining head,
he decorated thee with necklace of
pearls, purchased for cash at a Chestnut
street iewelry store, and now, after but
six months of lifc's fitful fever, he sadly
sings:
Give back give back, thou lovely fraud,
These pearls bid the wear,
And I'll give back to thee that lock
Of phoephorescent hair.
