TRUTHS AND TRIPLES.

NORWICH Bulletin: A Western paper
cosrsely calls the Chinese immigrant a
beat. Regarding him as vegetable, we
should prefer to speak of him as a queue
conner.
HARTFORD fishermen have discovered
that the potato bug is good bait for trout.
1t has always been known that the trout
is more greedy than discriminating in
his diet.
The man who planted cannon balls
last year on revolutionary battle fields
is now digging them up, and realizing a
fortune on his crop by bringing them
early into the relic market.
BRIGNoLI is mellifuously footing in
Boston. He weighs nearly three hun
dred pounds, and out of his adipose
vastness his voice issues like the note of
some sweet minstrel inclosed in beer
barrel and trying to sing through the
bung hole.

A SONG OF THE FUTURE.
Sail fast, sail fast,
Ark of my hopes, ark Of my dreams;
Sweep lordly Ger the drowned Past
Fly glttering through the SUMS strange beam
Sail fast, sail fast.
Breaths Of new buds from Of some drying lea
With news about the Future scent the sea;
My brain is beating like the heart of Haste;
I'll loose me bird upon this Present waste;
Co. trembling song,
And stay not long; oh, stay not long;
But thine eye is faith and thy wing is love.
Sidney Lanier in Scribner.
A FELLOW in the East says that
baked clam is as juicy and plump and
tender as the "Swan Song" in LOhengrin.
That's the way with those fellows who
live by the sad sea waves. They think
there's nothing in the world as good as
an old baked pair of boots, except it be
clam or tender chunk of India.rubber.
The saying has been credited to a
great many persons, but it was Father
Taylor, of Boston, who said: "When l
get to heaven l shall be surprised at
three things: first, to find certain people

second, not to find certain people whom
l fully expected to see; and, third to
find myself there"
KANSAS CITY Times: There was no
preaching in this town last Sunday, and
all in consequence of a practical joke
perpetrated by lively young girl.
The young girl inspired by the world,
the flesh, and little devil mixed, sat
down, late on Saturday evening, and
sent a note to each of the pastors The
missives were ON tinted paper, and writ
ten nicely. They each contained these
words: "All is dicovered-fy." Nine
of the preachers fled to st. Louis, and
three went West. There is a sensation
in town larger than mans hand.
A LITTLE five-year old fellow came
up to his mother the other morning, and
with great earnestness said: Mother
l saw something run quickly across the
kitchen-foor this morning. And it
hadn't any legs either. What do you
suppose it wasp The mothers Curl
osity was excited at the apparent strange
ness of the supposed animal, and, not
knowing what else to say, said she
guessed it was snake or worm, or
something of that sort-she didn't know
what. Having enjoyed his mothers in
ability to solve the problem for some
time, said he: cit was some water"
And that's where the laugh came in.
