THINGS YoU Do Nor Believe
When an old acquaintance meets you
after o long separation and, putting
his hand like a dead fish into yours,
says, in tone as feeling as calliope's,
Is l am glad to see. you," you don't be-
lieve word he says. When q woman
with bayonet nose and q breech- load
ing eye calls her husband "darling,o
you want to hear from tho family bed
chamber through an auger-hole before
you believe it. When u fat man tells
YOU he doesn't eat half as much as YOU
do. you don't believe it-unless you are
lat man yourself. When q pretty
young woman tells you she shall never,
never marry, you don't believe it if YOU
arc married man. When q man takes
an Overafectionate interest in another
mans wife, and the wife tries to con-
vince you that it is the brotherly in
terest he takes in the husband, Won
don't believe it--if you happen to be
the husband yourself. When q young
roysterer 10 lugged homo stoneblind On
New Years day, and swears off in the
middle of the night for the whole year,
you don't believe tho half of the whole.
When gentleman is frequently seen
Issuing from behind a pafntcd screen
with 8 painted nose, you don't believe
his. story about erysipelas being the
artist.-lCincinuati Saturday Night.

county, who have gone TO Augusta, return
with commissions in their pockets, but alas I.
feeling of sadness comes DER us when we
remember that some are sure to be disappoint-
ed, as there are from six to twenty candidates
for every office. Strange as it may seem these
numerous applicants for Office are the very
men that were whooping in the late canvass,
''too many Offices" and demanding that they
should be abolished. We see now their cry
simply meant, too many offices for republ-
