What 1t Is to be "A Widow.

Il think it must be Il jolly thing to be a
young widow !" | heard this remark the
other day in Il group Of laughing girls, and re.
member To have said suvi thing myself in
grlsh times Do you know girls, what ii il
to be Il widow? II is to hu ten times Iuure
open to criticism than any dCmoiscllc pussihly
could he. II is to have men gaze as you russ
first AZ your black dress, and then at your
widows cap, until your sensitive nerves Iuivct
under the inhictiOn. 1t Is 10 have an ILL
uatuTcd person say, Il wonder how long she
will wait bci'se she marrics again And
another answers, Until she gets good
chance, | suppose 1t is now and then
10 meet the glance Of real sympathy
generally from the poorest and most humble
women you meet, and iccl your eyes I'LL at u
token 50 rare, that is so unlocked for 1t is to
have your dear fashionable friends console
you after this fashion: Oh, we'll, ii is u
dreadful loss. We know you feel it, d ar"
And III the next breath: "Nou will be sure
10 marry again, and Your widows cap is very
becoming to YOU But ii i more than this
to be Il widow Ii Is to miss the strong arm
you have leaned upon, the true faith which
you know could never TAIL you, though all the
world might iUrsake you it is 10 Iuiss the
dear voice that uttered your name with ten
dcrncss that none other could give 1t. II
is to hear no more the we'll
known iuulstcp you ilCw 10 meet
to see no more tho lucU that 10 your adUring
eyes seemed us the face OF tho angels OF God
to feel no more the twinng arms that folded
you so lovingly; the dear eyes, that, looking
into your own, said plainly, whatever it seemed
to others, yours was the iuirr.t face earth held
for him. II Is to fight with f. mighty sorrow
Us man fights with the waves that ovCrwhclm

Too Much English.

A man with u decided Teutonic ex-
preston of countenance, stood at the
bar of the court of Special Sessions re-
Gently, for having stolen two dollars.
"What have you to say in rebuttal ~
asked Judge Otterbourg of the prisoner,
after the complainant had given his
testimony.
The man at the bar stared vacantly
at the court and made no reply.
Have you any defence to make to
this allegation ?" repeated the magis-
trate.
Another vacant look and silence
Here, interpreter, shouted the court,
addressing that functionary, task the
prisoner in German where he lives ?"
The interpreter was about to put the
question, when the prisoner spoke up in
a broad Celtic dialect.
"Shure, if it's where live yez want
to know, it's New Jersey"
A broad grin settled on the faces of the
spectators and the court hurriedly
named the sentence-one month in the
Penitentiary.
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-03-19

"a" |" Madam, do you know that you
possess one of the best voices in the
world Y' said saucy fellow to wo-
man. "Indeed, do you think so?' re-
piled she, with flush of pride at the
compliment. "I do most certainly"
continued the rascal )" forif you hadn't,
it would have been worn out long ago."
For the first time in her life she had
nothing to say.
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-03-19

ca" A Yankee genius out West, con-
celving that little powder thrown upon
some green wood would facilitate its
burning, directed small stream upon
the smoking pile; and not possessing
hand sufficiently quick to cut this off at
a desirable moment, he was blown into
pieces. The coroner thus reasoned out
the verdict: cit can't be called suicide,
because he didn't mean to kill himself;
it wasn't visitation of God, because he
wasn't struck by lightning; he didn't
die for the want of breath, for he didn't
have anything left to breathe with. It's
plain he didn't know what he was about,
SO shall bring in Died for the want of
common sense.
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1878-03-19

Cy "What do you know about the
prisoner" asked the judge. 81 don't
know nothin' bout him, jedge, only
he's bigoted.' " Bigoted," said his
honor. eyes, sah.' What do you
mean by bigoted p" "Well, jedge,"
explained the witness, she knows too
much foh one niggah and not nuff fob
two"

Ey~ "Ah !" said hungry man at our
boarding house, grabbing the celery jar
as he sat down to the table, d" this celery
looks handsome" "Hand some over
this way then, will you ~ said the other
hungry man on the opposite side of the
table.
