Jokinq the Doctor.

A good story is told of doctor who
was somewhat of wag. He met, one
day in the street, sexton with whom
he was acquainted. AS the usual saluta-
tions were passed, the doctor happened
to cough. " Why, DOCTOR" said the
sexton, you have got cold how long
have you had that 2"
Look here, Mr. SeXton," said the
doctor, with show of indignation I;
"what is your charge for interments p"
"Ten shillings,'' was the reply.
Well continued he, "just come into
my surgery, and l will pay it. 1 don't
want to have you calling round, and so
anxious about my health" The sexton
was soon even with him, however.
Turning round to the doctor, he replied,
" All, doctor, cannot afford to bury
you yet. Business has never been so
good as it has since you began to prac-
tice." Since the above conversation,
neither party has ventured to joke at
the expense of the other.

MYRA'S TRIUMPH.

II MYRA," said Mrs. Glyndon,
lW "you're the biggest fool living,
and am perfectly astonished |"
every much obliged for the compli-
ment, I'm sure, Aunt Deborah said
Myra Dalton, demurely.
She was tall, fair-haired girl, with
large, deep brown eyes and rosy cheeks.
Mrs. Glydon was a made-up matron,
considerably past the fifties, with black
silk dress, set of garnets and gold, and
prevailing odor Of patchouly about her
person. Myra leaned with folded hands
against the window that looked out on
the street. Mrs. Glyndon busted herself
with piece of embroidery, where an
impressionable knight was kneeling at
the feet of pink-faced lady in mazarine
blue.
"But just look at the reason of the
thing" said Mrs. Glyndon. "Your
Uncle Josiah is willing to give you
home"
"That's just what 1 am going to ask
you about. Aunt Deborah--if L could
use your name as reference 2"
"No you can't!" snapped out Aunt
Deborah.
"Then l must do without it," said
Myra, gravely.
She broached her subject to Mr.. Josiah
Glyndon that very evening, as he sat
over his wine and walnuts-Mr. Josiah
Glyndon, who was as cold as iceland,
hard as block of granite, and uncom-
promising as fate itself.
"No," said Uncle Josiah; 81 don't
approve of the plan at all"
But you do not object 2"
eyes" said Uncle Josiah, 81 do
object, most decidedly"
ON what grounds"
Because you are my niece"

A Sharper OutwlIted.

A GENTLEMAN was witness, few
"A days ago, to sharp trick at cards
on passenger train on one of our west
ern railroads noted for the favor in
which the three-card monte men and
other card sharps hold it. A well dressed
clerical looking man had attracted a
crowd of gaping passengers around him
by number of ingenious and skillfully
executed tricks with pack of playing
cards, and at last shufIiing the cards
several times, and slapping them down
upon his knee, he said:
"I'll bet any man in the crowd that L
can cut the jack of diamonds at the first
attempt"
Every one hung back suspiciously,
until a green gawky-looking individual,
with hay seed in his hair, pushed his
way forward. Mister" he questioned,
may take a squint at them keerds p'
Certainly" said the professional, las he
handed them over. The countryman
inspected them suspiciously, and then
apparently satisfied, he returned them,
but did not take the bet. The cards
are all right, aren't they ?" asked the
professional. Yes, guess they'd suit
me- the countryman replied, hesitating-
ly. "Why don't you take my bet,
then Y''
Wa'al 1 don't know amt much
of betting man."
The professional saw that the coun-
tryman was more than half inclined to
take him up, and to make sure of his
game, he said: Come, I'll bet $40 to So
SIS, $50 to So"
"I'm burned if L don't take ye," ex-
claimed the countryman, after mo-
ment's hesitatied, and, diving into his
pocket he drew out a strip of calico lap
parently sample to show his girl,)
some confectionery, a plug of tobacco,
several horse shoe nails, and, lastly, a
dyspeptic looking leather wallet, from
which he extracted greasy five dollar
bill which he placed in the hands of a
bystander. The stranger speedily cover
ed the deposit with a twenty fresh
from Uncle Sans printing bureau, and
then thoroughly shuffiing the cards as
prelude, he grasped the pack in one
hand, and producing a sharp pocket
knife he actually cut every card in the
pack in two. Haven't cut the jack
of diamonds ?'
"I'll be eternally swallowed if you
have," replied the countryman, produc-
ing that veritable card from his coat
sleeve, whittier he had dexterously con-
veyed it while pretending to examine
the cards. The countryman quietly
pocketed the stakes and the professional
SUNK off into another car.

A JEALOUS HUSBAND SOLD.

ID MY DEAR" said Mr.. Peter Pen
IVl sico, to his wife, "don't you
think it would be good idea for us to
take few boarders p
6 Boarders ~ echoed Mrs. Pensico,
"What for?''
"To turn an honest penny my DEAR"
said Mr.. Pensico.
Pshaw ~ said Mrs. Pensico.
"Times are hard - scid Mr.. Peter
Pensico.
"But you've got money enough" }" re-
torted his wife, with a toss of her curly
head.
Sylvia said Mr.. Pensico, gravely,
"do you know that nobody ever has
money enough ?"
"No," said Mrs. Pensico, shelling
away with great vigor at the pan of
lima beans in her lap. 81 don't know
anything of the sort"
"Just think how niceit would sound"
said Mr.. Peter Pensico, with his eyes
half closed and his head on one side,
" Select board for few gentlemen, in a
cottage on the Hudson, milk and veg
etables; terms moderate. 1 think I see
it now in the columns of the paper"
Z" 1 thought you rented this cottage to
please me ~ said Mrs. Pensico, raining
down the emerald shower of lima beans
at double-quick rate.
g So 1 did, my dear, so I did," re-
sponded her husband. But why should
not we please few select boarders,
too ?''
Mr.. Pensico was retired grocer, " fat
and forty," if not "fair.' Mrs. Pensico
had been pretty ward school teacher,
full twenty years younger than her hus-
band, who had boarded at the same
house with the dealer in nuts,spices and
moist sugars.
Love is like the whooping cough, a
more dangerous disease the older you
grow. Mr.. Pensico took it very hard,
so hard, indeed, that he married Sylvia
Smith at the end of fortnight's ac-
quaintance and took her to live in a
pretty little cottage on the Hudson.
You are jewel, my DEAR" said Mr..

"You are independent already"
" No, uncle, am not"
Mr.. GlyndOA screwed his lips together,
and took up the evening papers.
I" 1 am sorry you are dissatisfied, !" said
he, coldly.
" But, uncle"
ALLOW me to decline any further
discussion of the subject"
The next day, Myra Dalton put on her
hat and walked to the nearest Intelli-
gence Bureau. Mrs. Robert Lee wanted
a governess for four little girls, between
the ages of six and twelve. Mrs.
Robers Lee was INTRODUCED, by the lady
in charge of the Intelligence Bureau, to
Miss Dalton. Miss Dalton suited in
every respect until they came to the
important subject of references.
Il have none," said Myra.
No reference ?" echoed Mrs. Robert
Lee.
No." said Myra, colo in spite of
herself. "I left my home in spite-or
rather against the wishes of my relatives,
and as 1 have never filled any similar
situations before"
"Oh !" said Mrs. Robert Lee ''That
will do; we need not pursue the subject.
Perhaps, Mrs. Blank''-to the lady in
charge-"you can send in another young
person This one will not suit.
And this was the first bitter drop in
Myra's cup.
Mrs. Shaw, who had a susceptib
husband and two grown-up sons, want
ed companion, but objected vehement
ly to Myra's good looks.
Mrs. Barrons, who had three nieces to
educate, wanted young person who
would be willing to act as governess,
chambermaid and nurse.
Myra was beginning to think she
would have to go ignominiously back to
Uncle Glyndon again, when Mrs. Ian
sing came in, brisk and lively.
II want nursery governess, said she.
And Mrs. Blank at once produced her
drug in the market.
"Are you fond of children ?" said she.
"Very," answered Myra.
"Can you be patient with them ?"
"Certainly can"
"Good ?" said Mrs. Lansing, nod
ding the roses in her little French hat.
"How much do you want ?"
"Twenty dollars month";"
Very WE'LL" said the lively lady. CT
like your face, and I'll engage you"
ell think you ought to know,
said she, " that 1 have no reference"
"Why not ?" asked the little woman
sharply.
Myra told her simple story.
"Well," said Mrs. Lansing, "I'l
dispense with reference. If 1 don't like
you, 1 can but send you away again.
One has always to run certain risk in
employing anybody"
So Myra went to Mrs. Lansing's
villa on the Hudson, to be companion
and instructress to Tessa and Gertrude,
that lady's two plump, dimpled little
daughters.
"How do you like my new governess,
James ?" said she to Mr.. Raymond, her
cousin, who was staying at "Purple
Cliff " on visit.
81 think she's trump" said Ray
mond, laughing. Lansing and L
heard her reading story to the girls
yesterday, and they all three cried to-
gether. I'm not sure but that there was
moisture in Lansing's eyes, too. Mine
brimmed over, am certain"
Mrs. Lansing held up a warning
finger.

One of those excrescenees in life, a fe-
male slanderer, went into neighbours
house the other morning, with her
tongue loaded with new venom. There
were several women present, and the
slanderer's eye glistened in anticipation.
Throwing herself into a chair, she said
lone half the world don't know how

pany. The slanderer turned yellow.

This was on Monday. On Tuesday,
Mrs. Pensico went fishing with the
three boarders. Pensico might have
gone too, perhaps, only that the boat
was capable of holding but four.
On Wednesday there was picnic up
the river, to which Mrs. Smith invited
Mrs. Pensico. On Thursday Mr.. Jones
and Mr.. Brown had "camp out" in
the woods, of which Mrs. Pens,co and
one Miss Tomlinson, Of the ne!ghbor-
hood, formed an Indispensable accom-
parliament.
On Friday Mr. Brown undertook to
lay out Mrs. Pensico's verbena bed in
true landscape gardening style. On Sat
urday it rained, and Mr.. Jones, who was
considerable of an elocutionist, read
poetry alone to Mrs. Pensico, while she
darned the family hose. On Sunday,
Mr.. Smith drove Mrs. Pensico to a
church ten miles away, in an elegant lit
tie buggy, with long tailed horse
"This is getting intolerable," said
Mr. Pensco.
And he wished he hadn't written that
advertisement.
But this was nothing to his chagrin
the next day, when he found Mr.. Smith
sitting out under the apple trees with
his arm around Sylvia's waist.
" Sr!" thundered Mr.. Pensico.
Eth ?'' said the boarder.
Leave my premises !" said the
grocer.

vance," suggested Smith.
Take back your wretched dross !"
beloved Pensico, fiinging roll of bills
on the grass. "Go Depart Lose no
time, and take those other two young
men with you. I'm sick of boarders ~
And so the three young men departed.
When once the garden gate was closed
behind them, Mr.. Pensico elevated his
right arm theatrically in the air.
"Never-never will receive another
boarder into my family" said he "As
for you, false wife"
"No but is it honor bright about
the boardersY" interrupted Mrs. Pensico,
with the sparkling eyes.
60 swear it by yonder cerulean blue ?"
said Mr.. Pensico, who had just been
reading st. Elmo"
Certain sure ?" said Mrs. Peter
Pensico
Certain sure!" said her husband.
" In that case, said Mrs. Pensico, 9
may as well tell you now, as any time,
that John Brown and Ferdinand Jones
are my cousins, and that Charlie Smith
is my brother"
"Eh ?" gasped Mr.. Pensico, +" WAS it
was it conspiracy ?"
"They wanted board in the country"
said Mrs. Pensico, and you wanted
boarders."
A heavy weight seemed to be lifted
from Pensico's heart as he remem-
bered the arm around Sylvia's waist. So
it was only her brother And little Syl-
via hadn't played the married flirt, after
all
He took his wife in his arms and gave
her hearty kiss.
"My dear" said he, "you're mis-
chievous little girl, but forgive you.
And 1 guess Well give up the boarder

Which was all that Mrs. Pensico
wanted.

thought she, =" and I've done it,.

Select Poetry.
EVERY DAY.

Oh, trifling tasks, so often done,
Yet ever to be done anew
Oh, cares, which come with every sun,
Morn after morn the long years through
We shrink beneath their paltry sway
The irksome calls of every day.
The restless sense of wasted power,
The tiresome round of little things
Are hard to bear, as hour by hour
It's tedious iteration brings;
Who shall evade or who delay,
The small demands of every day
We rise to meet a heavy blow
Our souls sudden bravery fills
But we endure not always so
The drop by drop of little ills;
We still deplore and still obey
The hard behests of every day.
The heart that boldly faces death
Upon the battle field, and dares
Cannon and bayonet, faints beneath
The needle points of frets and cares;
The stoutest spirits they dismay-
The tiny stings of every day.
And even saints of holy fame,
Whose souls by faith have overcome,
Who wore amid the cruel flame
The molten crown of martyrdom,
Bore not without complaint away
The petty pains of every day.
All, more than martyrs acreole,
And more than hero's heart of fire,
We need the humble strength of soul
Which daily tolls and ills require;
Sweet patience, grant us if you may,
An added grace for every day.
