PINE VALLEY, Aug. 10, 1873,
Mr.. Editor:
Dear Sir-1n answer to the Sunday
Herald (Shreveport), the Grapes Bluff
debating society is very sick. The boss
speaker made an awful spludge on both
sides and whiskey knocked him down.
The chair gave its decision in favor of
whiskey. That is the last of Grapes
bluff debating society for the present.
Yours truly,
FUTURE HOPE.
A woman put herself in the hands of a
Boston dentist to have her teeth reorgan-
lied. He found them in very bad
plight and asked her why she had al
lowed them to become 90 decayed with
Mt coming to him or some other dentist.
She replied that she had not had time.
"But,' he insisted, ut would not have
taken long, and you could have come in
almost any time" She saw that he was
bent on an explanation, and she fred this
at him like cannon ball: "Well, /
guess if yOu had had a baby every year
for the last ten years you would think it
was about enough to tend to-" He &C.
knowledged that he should.
We have received a poem by "Ophelia"
which p aces rs in rather embarrassing
position. Ophelia says Kiss no one but
me, darling, Kiss no one but me: And l
VOW as I live. I'll kiss no one but thee"
This proposition is fair enough, certainly.
Bnt we have never seen "Ophelia." Her
lines are not accompanied by her photo
graph rs a guarantee of good faith. She
may have red hair celestial nose, and
poor teeth. We might be hugely sold if
we we're to swear off indulging in oscula
tory exercises with the fair sex in gen.
eral, and kiss no one but Ophelia. Be-
sides. we are married, and our wife would
probably not give her consent to such
"Ophelia" had better ap-
ply to some other shop.-[Norristown
