 "But I want some yarn to mend my socks" put in the old man.
 "The weather is warm," replied the fat party, and you can go without socks.''
 "But my boots hurt my feet, " insisted the old man. "Go barefooted," said she, rather sharply. Then turning to the clerk, she changed her tune, and remarked: Young man, please count me out the eggs and give me four yards of calico to match this ere dress"
 "But-" the old man was going to continue, when she raised her huge index finger and said: " Hen " Winter Davis Spriggins, them eggs are mine; the hens what laid em are mine; the corn what fed 'em was mine, and I'se going to have trail on this ere dress as long as Betsy Gowon's, if every toe on your feet turn into gum piles.

Language of the Hair
Harrisburg Telegraph.

Harrisburg Telegraph.
 All of our features have their language-eyes, nose and mouth. And now some one discovers that even the hair has its own indica- tons.
 Straight, lank, stringy-looking hair indicates weakness and cow ardice.
 Curley hair denotes quick tem- per.
 Frizzy hair. set on ones head as if each individual hair was ready to fight its neighbOr. denotes course ness.
 Black hair indicates persistent resolution in accomplishing an ob- ject-also a strong predisposition to revenge wrong and insults, real or fancied.
 Brown hair denotes fondness for life, friendly disposition. ambition, earnestness of purpose, sagacity for business, reliability in friendship, in proportion as the hair is fine.
 Very fine hair indicates an even disposition, readiness to forgive with a desire to add to the happi- ness of others.
 Persons with fine light brown or auburn hair, inclined to curl or friz, are quick-tempered, and are given to resentment and revenge.
 Light brown hair, inclined to red ness, with freckled skin, is said to be a certain indication of deceit, treachery and disposition to dc something mean by a friend who can no longer be used to advantage.
 All of which may be news to for tune-tellers.

4 dry goods clerk on Main street was showing a lady some parasols yesterday. This clerk has a good command of language, and knows how to expatiate on the good quail ties and show the best point of goods. As he picked up a parasol from the lot on the counter, and opened it, he struck an attitude of admiration, and holding it up so the best light would be had, he said : Now, there. Isn't it lovely ? Look at that silk! Particularly ob- serve the quality, the finish, the general effect. Fael of it. Pass your hand over it. No foolishness about that parasol is there?" he said, handing it over to the lady. "Ain't it a beauty P @Yes," said the lady, stufing her handkerchief into her mouth, "yes, that's my old one, I just laid it down there," The clerk was immediately seized with a severe attack of quickened con. science, and passed right off of the subject of parasols on to the weather.

rights Whatever which their SONS are bound

dore himself chose to make it. The qros-
ton Is still before the courts whether the

which hi eldest son was bound to respect
In the case of Mr.. THOMAS LORD the qucs-

Of demurrer To the choice which he made;
for he selected one of the most beautiful and

whose qualities in the worry relation for
which he contracted with her, the relation
of WIFE, had already been practically tested,
