TAKING A PAPER.

'Pm Too poor TO take a paper" If
you are too poor to take paper you
should be indicted by the grand jury
for obtaining family under false pre-.
tense. In nineteen or twenty of the
unpainted, ill.located, and uncom-
Portable dwellings on the road side,
you viii find neither newspapers nor
traces of one having ever been there.
The husband knows nothing about
markets except few items he picks
up at the country store. The wife is
ignorant and because she is denied
the general information derived from
newspapers, she descends in the scale.
and becomes a nevsmonger, filled with
superstitious ideas and neighborhood
scandal. The children grow up ig
norant, with no ambition to push
ahead in life. They know nothing
about the world they live in, and
care less. Stop at any neatly painted
house, situated in a grove oftrees with
vines on the porch and pailing fence
in front, and on the table, in the cor
ners, and in the hall you will find the
local papers. The proprietor is as
well posted about the price of every,
thing as any travelling speculator.
His wife has wider scope for her
mind's employment than neighborhood
scandal, and the children grow up
ambitious to succeed in life and (warn-
ed of the tricks, evils and quicksands
of the world generality press onward
and upward into the front rank.-Er-

Somebody dropped some quicksilver
on the sidewalk in Montana, and an
Indian tried to pick it up. First he
made grab at 1t with his thumb and
forefnger, and was astonished when he
found he couldn't pick it up. He was
determined to have that qicksilyer
anyhow; so he unwound a handker-
chief from his hat, and spreading it
on the ground got chip and scrapea
the quicksilver into it. A look of
triumph shot from his eagle eye as he
gathered up the four corners Of the
handkerchief, but it was replaced by
one of horror and disgust when the
metal run through the fabric like wa.
ter through sieve. Looking at the
metal as it lay on the ground in 9
puzzled sort of way for moment, he
launched vicious kick at it, and ut
tering an angry ejaculation, he turned
on his heel and left the quicksilver for
some other untutored son of the foFr
est to experiment on.
A merchant of jackson, Tenn, ask
ed two men to keep store for him
while he went out for moment. They
did SO, and sold each other large lot
Of goods cheap for credit. When he
returned and was informed of what
they had done he was anxious to pass
il all off as a joke, but they insist that
they were his agents, hence that the
transaction was legal one, and the
courts will have to pass upon the ques-
tion.
"Too many men been hanged on
that side of it" was the explanation
given why a SacFimento lamppost
leaned to the north.
And old convict's advice to his son
"Never steal horse, my boy, unless
he is faster than any other horse in
the neighborhood."
No man knows how attractive his
home is until he offers il for sale, and
reads what the real estate agents say
about it
Why can't you weigh eels with

AN ENTHUSIAST IN HUGGING.

A couple from the country came ia
the city yesterday, procured a license
and we're married in due form. They
left on the afternoon train for home.
They attracted the attention of every
passenger by their lavish display of
affection. The young man kept his
arm tight around the brides waist, 40
If he was afraid she would vanish be-
fore he knew it, and she didn't seem
to care if he hugged her right along
for half day, She was so terribly
homcly that everybody wondered how
he could love her, and by and by he
seemed to think that an explanation
would be in order. He borrowed q
chew of tobacco of man near the
door, and remarked "I'm going to

though ! know she isn't purity" III
wouldn't" briefly replied the man.
"Aud that's where you'd fool your
self" continued the young man.
"When I'm hugging hundred acres
of clean, nice land, with forty head of
stock on it, / can make the homeliest
girl in the world look like an angel to
me. "-Augltsta { Ga.) Chronicle.
