A Very Deliberate Man,

MR.. WATKINS, of Main street, is prob
ably one of the most deliberate men
that ever went to sleep in church. He
has way about him of saying and do
ing things that paves the way to con-
ception of eternity, and makes the
progress of a funeral procession seem
like the flight of a lightning express.
He is always yawning and rubbing his
eyes as though he had out just crawled
out of bed and hadn't got fairly awake.
and Mrs. Twigley. the next-door neigh
Dor, has been frequently heard to re-
mark that if it wasn't for Mrs. Watkins,
who gives his clothes thorough brush
ing now and then, the moss would have
taken deep root on him long ago. Even
a boy on an errand has been known to
overtake him. This can be authenti-
Gated.
Early last Tuesday morning Mr.. Wat
kins was seen coming down street in
his usual deliberate and unprecipitate
manner, pausing occasionally to rub
his. eyes, pick up pin, or hearken to
the gay twitter of the birds.
AS he came opposite the residence of
DR.. Bleedum he noticed the doctors
wife sitting at the open window, and,
steadying himself against the fence, he
observed, with yawn that very nearly
threw him over backward, that it was
"a nice morning.
at is, indeed, ''replied Mrs Bleedum.
"The air is so bracing."
Y-(awn)e-es, it is so; but don't YOU
think it looks little like rain, mum?'
he asked.
80 no; don't think it does. The
sky is clear and the wind is hardly from
the right direction

80 yes, thank you, all quite well. A

ha! han'
Yes-yes, to be sure, so they
should,n returned Mr.. Watkins, open
ing his knife to white bit of stick he
had picked up. Speaking of the doc
tor, mum, is he about this morning?'
He was out with a patient till late,
and hasn't yet got up" responded the
lady. "You didn't want to see him
professionally? None of your folks
