The wittiest and most able writer's
have been remarkable for their dull
ness in conversation. Describes, the
famous mathematician and philoso-
pher, La Fontaine, celebrated for his
witty fables; and Button, the natural
ist, were all singularly deficient in the
powers of conversation. Mormontel,
the novelist, was so dull in society
that his FREUD said of him. after his
interview, IL must 60 and read his
tales, in recompense to myself for the
WEAKNESS Of hearing him. As to
Corneille, the dramatist of France, he
was so completely lost in society-so
absent and embarrassed that he wrote
Of himself witty couplet, importing
that he was never Ineligible but
through the mouth of another. The
brilliant Charles III. was so charmed
with the humor Of "Hubibras" that
he caused himself to be introduced in
the character of private citizen to
Butler, its author. The witty King
found its author TO be very dull
companion, and was of the opinion,
with many others, that so stupid fel-
low could never have written so clev-
er book. Addison, whose classic el-
egance has long since been considered
the model of style, was shy and absent
in society, preserving even before a
single stranger formal silence. In con-
versation Dante was tactiturn and sat
irical. Gray and Aliieri seldom talk
ed or smiled. Rosseau was remarks.
bly, dull in conversation, without a
word of fancy or eloquence in his
speech. Milton was unsocial and sar-
castle when much pressed by stran-
gers.

As a newly engaged commercial
traveller was about starting on a drum
ming trip from Chicago, the other
day, he suddenly turned to his employ
er. u grave old merchant, and inquir-
cd II say. boss, what shall do
when l get out of soap." "SoapY'
said the old gentleman, "why, save
your samples, and then you wont get
out but grease?" continued the
young man. "Grease? greases' pom
dered the old man, "why, you don't
need any grease-you are not working
for lubricating estab-" "Oh, but
you don't understand me-" chimed the
youthful employee, rather cmbarrass.
ed. IL mean what shall do if I run
out of spondulix-stamps-wealth?'
"Spondulix? stamps? wealtn." echoed
the mystlfied merchant, looking al
the young fellow, over his glasses, tc
see if he had gone crazy. "Yes, cur
rency greenbacks," exclaimed the
drummer, cash, money!" you know!
A light seemed to dawn on the old
gentleman's mind at this moment, fol
gazing upon the creature before him
with a look Of contempt and pity, he
broke forth, "Young man, what are
you giving u.s. ! rather guess you
needn't 60 out, for / don't believe our
class Of customers could get along ve-
ry well with you---they all speak Eng
lish. Pull down your vest, step up tC
the cashiers desk and get your sugar.
Now cheese it, Gully, you're bounced.
And that is the way the high-toned
kid got bounced--all through the per
nicious habit Of singing slang.

Considering that no testator expects
to be present at the opening Of his own
will, or at the distribution of his prop.
erty after his demise, 1t seems strange
that so many men should live pcnuri.
ously, and belittle their souls BY a
thousand meanncsscs, for the .ole pur.
pose Of acquiring fortunes to leave be.
hind them. II seems that such per.
sons thirst for glory after lifes fitful
fever Is over. They take it tor grant.
ed that the muni6cence of their he.
quests will ostonish the world, or that
an ungrateful progeny will rise up
and call them blessed, and receive n
retrospective golden-calf worship from
generations yet unborn. But, after
all, the game does not appear to be
worth the candle: The "dull, cold
car Of death" cannot be tickled by
mortuary puffs ct these pious ejacula.
tons Of suddenly enriched heirs and
legatees; nor is fulsome epitaph like.
ly TO afford the slightest satisfaction to
the flood for worms that moulders
beneath it. Moreover, it is question.
able whether the memory of the man
whose generosity is only manifested
through his executors, is much respect
ed by the recipients Of his wealth.
Such men rarely die soon enough to
please their heirs. They are consid.
cred, after their wills are made, to
clay supernuously on the stage" and
when removed to better world the
inheritors OF their substance are filed
with joyful resignation.
There nre entirely too many indi-
viduals in this wooden country who
spare no pains to acquire wealth for
their posterity, that cannot bcstow
a dollar even on those nearest and
dearest to them, during their lifetime,
without pain. The wisely generous
benefactor is he who gives as he goes
along, and enjoys the fruits of his Ia
bors. He understand that work done
by deputy after the death of the prin.
cipal, is likely to be done in slovenly
way, and therefore distributes his sur.
plus accumulations among those
whom he knows will appreciate his
kindness, and wher, it will do the
most good. Don't you think it would
be a much better plan if we would all
give little more as we 60 along?

Talmage. the terrific, thus describes
the foppish and frivolous preacher: He

seems to have grown on; his boot, as
If made on last of the Inst fashion.
His hair twists as though il had been

himself on being a lady's man, and
looks 40 sweet. and has the appear

As he takes out his handkerchief to

ADVERTISING SHAME.-The Amer
lean hangs his head in shame when he
sees the public press bur,lened with
the revelations Of malfeasance in office
He is panied to think that all the
world must know how low-toned our
political moralities are; how given to
thieving and the betrayal of trust are
multitudes of our men in responsible
positions; what vulgarity of greed is
exhibited by those whom the people
have honored! 1t is all horrible, re-
volting, disgusting, humiliating; but
this revelation is a thousand times bet
ter than the policy of concealment.
A vice laid open to the public cautery
is in a much better condition for being
cured than one which is permitted to
tester in semi-secrecy for personal or
class considerations.-- DIR. j. G. Hol-

Genius gets drunk and affects filth.
Genius loses its keys and spectncles.
Genius uses other peoples stamps and

Genius is incapable of folding a news
