i Good but Erpohsirs joke.

4 few days ago wealthy gentle
man OF this city, says the Cleve-
land, Ohio, Press, porpetratcl Il
Joke on his nephew, young man
named Lockwood, employed in
the Office of Division Supcrintcnd-
ont Woodford, of the Canada
Southern road, and located at Toll
edo. The young man received u
telegram from tho uncle telling
him 10 come to Cleveland at once,
but offered no explanation. The
Young man responded. The uncle,
looking stern and angry, met him
at tho depot and said to him,
"Come to MY Office at once" The
young man trembling in his boots,
and wondering what he had done
to anger his relative, followed. At
the Office his uncle handed him q
document and in fierce tone Of
voice said: "Read that !" 1t was
Il deed conveying a house and lot
in one Of tho most pleasant por-
tions of the city to the nstonished
nephew. Then the old uncle sat
down and laughed till his sides
achcd. It was good joke and cost
the porpctrator $4,000.

Good

Some time in 1864 there were a
number Of army officers stopping
at 4 hotel in Washington. Among
them was Captain Emerson. There
was also q Captain Jones, good
officer and very pompous. Emer.
son and Jones used to have good
deal of joking together, at the ta-
bic and elsewhere.
One day at the dinner table,
when the dining hall was well filled,
Captain Jones finished his dinner
first, got up and walked almost to
the dining-hall door, when Emer.
son spoke to him in u loud voice
and said:
"IIello, Captain; see here, | want
to speak to you u minute"
The Captain turned and walked
back to the table and bent over
him. Emerson whispered:
Il want to ask you how far you
would have gone if 1 had not spok'
cn 10 YOU"
The Captain never changed 4
muscle, but Strengthened up and
put his fingers into his vest-pocket,
and sail. in n voice loud enough
for all to hear him:
captain Emerson, I don't know
of n man in the world | would
rather lend five dollars to than you,
but the fact is that | haven't Il cert
with me to-day!' and he turned
and walked away.
Emerson turned the color Of a
dozen rainhows, but he had to
stand it. lie never heard the last
of it, and it cost him more than ten
dollars to treat on it.

Cautions In Eating

The digestive fluids are limited in
quantity. All above enough is TN

the system, and often causing par
alysiS Of the brain by drawing OH
the nervous force more rapidly than
il is generated.
.. Don't eat between meals. The
stomach must rest, or it will sooner
or later break down. Even the
heart has to rest between the
beats.
3. Don't eat n full meal when en-
haustcd. The stomach is as weak
as the rest of tho body.
i. Don't take a lunch at noon,
and cat heartily at night. The
whole digestive system needs to
share in the rest and recupcmtion
of sleep. Besides, the tendency is
to put 4 full meal into Il weakened

being circulated in Elmira, Now
York, to raise 5000 with which to
erect in that citya monument to
Adam. The idea Of erecting a
monument to Adam in Elmira
originated with tho Rev. Thomas
X. Becchcr in 4 discourse, in which
it was held that if Elmira was not
the Garden Of Eolen,it should havo
been. Mark Twain, whose sum-
mer residence is in Elmira, and
whose wife is a native of the city,
at once fell in with tho Rev, Mr..

Care for Neuralgia.

Among the hints for relieving
neuralgia, We find the following
alloat in tho newspapers:
Crate and mix horse radish in
vinegar. the same MS for tho table
purpose, and apply to the temple
when the face or head is affected, or
the wrist when the pain is in tho
arm or shoulder.
A lady who had been troubled
with neuralgia in her head used a
bag Of hot oats at night as q pill
low. She says: "fIeat the oats in
a kettle over the fire, or in a pan in
your oven. l have never been
troubled with neuralgia in any
place but in my head, so | cannot
say how beneficial it would be for
neuralgia in other parts of the
body. Another cure is drinking
hot lemonade.

Penalties.

Tho penalty of popularity is
envy.
The penalty of thin shoes is a
cold.
The penalty ola tight boot is
corns.
Tho penalty ola baby is sleep
less nights.
The penalty Of marrying is a
mother-in-lw.
Tho penalty of a pretty cook is
IN empty larder.
The penalty Of Il godfather is a
silver knife, fork and spoon.
The penalty Of interfering
between man and wife is abuse,
frequently accompanied with blows
from both.
The penalty of buying poor
clothes is like going to law-the
certainty of loosing your suit and
having 10 pay for it.
Tho penalty Of remaining single
is having no one who cares II but
ton for you, as is abundantly
proved by the state of your shirts.
The penalty of a legacy is tho
sudden discovery of 4 host Of
poor relations YOU never dreainctl
of, and number Of debts you had
quito forgotten. 81,
The penalty of lending is--with
u book or umbrella, the certain
loss oft; with your name to q
bill, the sure payment of it; and
with n horse, the lamest chance Of
ever seeing it back again sound.

| inquired inc lullcT, COOilN'
"Iou can See for yourself, sir,
the second answered.
"Thcrc you are in error" replied
the other; Il am totally blind"
The wounded man had by this
time revived 4 little, and his second
looked at the stranger in astonish-
mcnt. There was no visible defect
in his organs of vision; but there
was lixity of Iouk-that "bcnd-
ing of the eyes OH vacancy"-which
so Enthusiastically evinces the ab-
scncc of sight.
"Who are you, and what is your
motive in seeking this cncounter?"
the Major faintly murmured.
First. are You in Il condition to
renew it?" inquired the stranger.
"Thcre is no nced-I am dy-
ing
"Whcn I have told you who I
am" the stranger replied, you will
scarce require any motive for what
I have done. No wonder you have
forgotten James Norton" he con-
tinucd, "for he is greatly changed
no doubt"
The dying man started and
groaned bitterly.
"But | have not forgotten YOU,
Richard Buford, nor the injuries
you have donc me. A cherished
daughter, the pride OF my eyes and
the Joy of her mothers heart, you
enticed from home, deceived by a
sham marriage, and abandoned her
to die of grief. My son and only
remaining child, i'll a rash attempt
to avengc his sisters wrongs, foil Il
victim to your accurscd skill. You
even robbed him Of the ordinary
chances of combat, unequal rs
they would have been, by encasing
your cowarlly body in concealed
armor. The loss Of both my chill
dren unsettled my wiie's reason,
and she died in n mad house.
Could l have found you then, |
would have given You no chance
for your life, but valiant rs you
have always profeSsed to be, and
coward rs you are, you evadcd me.
Yet I knew wc should one dav
meet; and registered 4 vow that
when we did | would offer you Il
sacrifice to your Internal art. To
this end I studied to become an
adept at ii, and when at length
blindness cast its shadows upon
mo, and seemed to render hopeless
the fulfillment OF my vow, instead
of abandoning it, | betook myself
to a new species of practice. l
sought to make hearing take the
place of sight. Again I succeeded.
| learned to take aim with the car
instead of the eye. When I heard
your answer ready to-day l knew
the exact direction in which to
point my pistol, rs if | had seen
you. Besides, l could hear your
breathing where you stood. You
lost your chance in delaying your
fire. You wished to make sure
work and over-rcachcd yourself"
More than once the Major looked
appcalingly at the speakers face,
but in those rcmorseless, sightlcss
eyes, there was 10 sympathy. And
as the labored breathing grew
fainter, tho old man resumed his
listening attitude. At last he was
still.
"lIc is dcad!" he said; and It's
wontcd expression of sober melan-
choIy settled on the old mans face,
as, taking his companions arm,
he turned and walked lcisurcly
away.
