Good old Mrs. Call was very hard oi
hearing being somewhat advanced IN
years. Her daughter Lydia was a
blooming lass, who loved good frollc'
and knew well how to get one up. Lyd'
had arranged junkct, and the young
men and maids were all on hand.
In the midst Of the fun in popped old
Deacon-to see how the widow Jared.
This was a wet blanket to the merri-

The deacon, so strongly urged. repll-

folks will moi expect me home before

What did he say, Lydia 2 asked the
widow.
Lydia had a ready answer:
He says he will not today mother,
as the folks will expect HIM home be-
fore dark. Why, how deaf you are,

A popular doctor of Utica, while

next day when the lady sent him pan

An Hsnest Customer.

An snecdote worth laughing over IS
told of a man who had an infrmi!y as

anxious to keep his character for homes

merchant, as the story goes, and when
his back was turned the honest buyer
slipped Goldfish under his coat-tail
But the garment was too short to cover
the theft, and the merchant perceived
it.
Now said the customer, anxious to
improve all the opportunities to call at

The PuHth In Virginia.

There sre hundreds Of incidents con
sequent upon the advent OF the new
system Of raising revenue in Virginia.
One is worthy Of mention here, and in
this connection it must be noticed that,
singular as it may appear, the saloon
keepers are bitterly opposed to the
register. During the afternoon OF the
first day Of the new system, K. N. L.
nunter, state treasurer, dropped into
saloon and planting his elbows familiar
Iy upon the bar asked for q glass OF beer.
A part, seated IN the rear. discussing
the merits or dc merits Of the register,
narrowly observed the distinguished
old gentleman and | stened attentiyciy
for any expression relative to the ~
strument that might escape him. lie
slpped his beer ana looked anxlously ut
the bartender; slipped it again and
eyed the barman still more Intently.
Putting down his glass, he remarked:
You haven't punched
| know haven't Dir. Hunter, said
the smiling dispenser of liquids.
Haven't you got the Moifet registcr:'
inquired the statesman.
oh. yes. sir with touch Of sar-
casm.

obviously remarked Yrginia's treas
urer.
oh. no. Mr.. Hunter, YOU did not,
very emphatically.
Why" hesitatlngly.
Because you haven't paid me. Mr..
Hunter.
This produced a laugh at the expense
of the distinguished treasurer and imam
cier. who, after fumbliHg in his pocket
produced douceur and planked it up.
Whereupon the barkeeper with a con-
siderable flourish, turned his crank,
sounded the gong aud announced, an
other half cent toward paying the debt
Of Virginia. Mr. Hunter beat hasty
retreat

Hon. John Forsyth. the veteran edi-
tor Of the Mobile Register, used to tell
2 good story to illustrate the value Oi
newspaper advertising, as means Of
getting before the public whenever you
wished them to know Of your wants or
wares.
Mr.. Forsyth was accidently drawn in
to "A discussion Of this subject with a
mercantile friend, who expressed en-
phalic doubts that an advertisement
benefited a mau's BUSINESS at all, and
closed his side of the debate with the
common remark: It's all money given
to the aid Of the newspapers. Nobody
reads my advertisement, or thinks oflt
or looks after it, except your foreman
and collector
Forsyth replied: Let US test the truth
Ot your assertion. Sit down and write
out an advertisement such as | dictate,
and we will put in the smallest type the
cases contain, and insert it in the remo-
test corner Of the Register that you can
select
The next morning there appeared in
agate, without a 5it of display, and IN
the most out-of- theway place in the
paper, the following;
wAsrID-To buy 4 dog. Apply q, So,-B'snk
Street.
The contract was that in case 'ad'was
success the merchant was to pay
Forsyth as and treat to wine and oys'
ters. If it failed 10 meet the eyes OF
parties with merchantablc CANNES, the
editor was to pay the merchant - and
sci up a supper for the two.
During the day of the first appearance
of his experiment, the merchant called
at the Register Office several times. He
looked as though he wa. in trouble, ap-
pcared nervous. looked over his shoul-
der like one who is pursued by terrible
bore or persistent dun. Finally, late IN
the evening he met his editorial friend,
and before the latter had time to open
his mouth, the merchat aid, hurriedly
and excitedly, For Heavens sake leave
that advertisement out Of your evening
edition. There's S. for it, and IS more
to pay you say No. Blank Street has

anecdote intimates that some OF their
habits are the equally certain indication
of frost being at hand. Quartcrmaster
Disjonyal. seeking tc beguile the
tedium ofhis prison hours at Utrecht,
had studied attentiyely the habits Of the
spider; and eight years Of Imprisonment
had given him leisure to be we'll yerscd
in its ways. In December Of l794. the
French army. on whose success h.s
restoration to liberty depended, Was
in Holland. and victory seemed certain
if the frost. then Of unprecedented Sc
verify, continued. The Dutch ENJOYS
had failed to negotiate a peace. and
Holland was despairing, when the frost
suddenly broke. The Dutch were now
exHlting, and the French generals pre-
pared to retreat; but the spider FORE
warned Disjonval that the thaw would
be OF short duration. and he knew that
his weather monitor never deceived.
He conlriyed to communicate with the
army OF his country men.aud its generals
VINO duly estimated lis character. relied
uuon his assurance that within few
days the waters would again be passable

within II day the frost had return d.

was liberated, and spider had bcou= h.
