A Dreadful Mistake.

She gave him beautifully worked
pair of slippers, and although they were
an inch too short and pinched him
across the toes, he smilingly submitted
to the martyrdom which they imposed,
and vowed they should never leave his
feet
This reckless statement will be re-
ceived by the reader with becoming
cautiousness.
And so the young man made return
of her offering 1t was his picture en-
cased in a handsome frame.
He wrote q note to send with it, and
at the same time replied apgrily to an
oft-repeated dun for an unpaid for suit
of clothes. He gave boy ten cents to
deliver the package and notes, giving
explicit directions as to the destination
of each. 1t was an unusually intelligent
boy with freclkled face, and he dis
charged his errand in manner that
should give him a niche in the temple
of fame.
The young lady received note in her
adored ones handwriting, and flew to
her room to devour its contents. She
opened the missive with eager fingers
and read
"I'm getting tired of your everlasting
attentions. The suit is about worn out
already. 1t never amounted to much,
anyway. Please go to thunderP
And the tailor was struck utterly
dumb when he opened parcel and dis
covered the picture of his delinquent
customer with note that said:
"When you gaze upon these features,
think how much owe you"
When that unfortunate young man
called around, that evening, to receive
the happy acknowledgment ofhis sweet
heart, he was very ostentatiously showed
off the steps and over the fence by the
young lady's father and in the morn
ing he was waited upon by the tailor's
lawyer and imperatively ordered to
settle or suffer.

ey@ People have different notions of
time. A landlord who is his own rent
collector, recently called on an old ten
ant, who with pale, trembling lips,
faltered, Sim very sorry, but times are
so bad, and-and-I am not quite ready.
IT, you could only give me little time"
"Well, well, you have always been a
good payer,l' said the landlord. "a
little time, ehp Certainly. 1 am going
up stairs, and-I will look in as l come
down."

egT" Give me some whisky" said a
man to robust Teutonic lady in a sa-
loon in a temperance town not far from
Dubuque. The lady looked at him a
minute and said, "You're stranger, 1

here. Ask for vine, und binch your eye
