Judge of Probate of this city for mar
riage licence. He was asked how old
his intended was, and answered with
great animation:
"Just sixteen, Judge-sweet sixteen,
and de handsomest girl in town"
The Judge said he could not do it, as
the law forbade him to issue license to
any one under eighteen.
"Well, hold on, Judge" exclaimed
the man. / know dat dem girls am de-

HATE NOT.

Hate not. 1t is not worth your while.
Your life is not long enough to make it
pay to cherish ill.will or bad thoughts.
What if this man has cheated you, or
that man has played you false? What
if your friend has forsaken you in time
OF need, or that one, having won your
utmost confidence, your warm.st love,
has concluded that he prefers to consid-
er and treat you as stranger. Let it
all pass What difference will it make
to you in a few years, when you so to
the undiscovered country? A few more
smiles, few more pleasures, much pain,
little longer hurrying and worrying
through the world, some hasty greetings,
abrupt farewells, and our play will be
played out" the injured will be laid
away and, ere long, forgotten. Is it
worthy to hate each other

BRADLEK

From Jersey fats a lawyer came,
With reputation tattered badly N
A man Of Camden.AmbOy fame,
On whom all the railroads had claim,
And when they asked him, Whats your name
He answered; Joseph Bradley
Upon the bench he took his place.
Judge of a court that's fallen sadly
And he, regardless of disgrace,
Reversed the Legal Tender case
Defied the reasoning of Chase,
And earned his fee-did Bradley.
When all the rogues who feared their fate
Conspired to cheat the country madly,
A lawless law they did create,
And rushed 1t through without debate,
Then shook their e.box-seven to Eight
And 10 the Eighth was Bradley.
When Flordas weak case came out
The work of Fraud was done so badly,
The eighth man turned his head about,
THE State is rilden's without doubt,
And Hayes pretenses here scout"
THUS spake the downright Bradley.
Angels with him that night abode,
The willing Judge received them gladly
In seventeen carriages they rode,
Their faces in the dim light glowed,
And visions various they showed
To Justice Joseph Bradley.
Next morn he rose in strange amaze ...N
With mind and conscience ratified badly
He said the arguments last phase
Convinced his mind-between two days
That Florida belonged to Hayes
Oh Judas Joseph Bradley ......
When Satan in his realms below,
Shall want good Chief Justice badly
For his high court of endless woe
He surely won't have far to go,
He'll simply say, "COme hither, Joe,
Twas your angel, Bradley"

SAMSON AND THE JAWBONE.

When travelled, in 1871, in Palestine
an old servant from the monastery of
Ramleh, about fifty miles west from
Jerusalem, showed me the supposed place
where Samson killed 1000 Philistines
with the jaw-bone of an ass. When l
expressed my doubts as to the length and
strength of jaw bone, considering the
great number of surrounding enemies,
the good man explained the case in the
following manner;
"Well, he took hold of the ass by the
tail and swung the animal against the
Philistines in such a manner that only
his head, and Of this especially the jaw
bone, struck the Philistines, keeping off
in this way the surrounding warriors,
and giving the blow the necessary force
to kill. | affirm that in this manner
Samson could have slain a million Phil
istines, provided the tail of the ass did
not break. "-SacrameAtO T0arnak.
