How ii IcN.

Only three SNORT years SINE We
furnished this p4rlor together, said
Mrs. Paradox, and now
Yes. now, echoed Mr.. Paradox,
resolntely thrusting his hands deep
down in his trousers pockets
Things are altered now, Abby
June
'Only three years, said Mrs. Par,
adox, sorrowruIly.
Three years Of cat and dog quar-
reling, commented the husband,
grimly.
You said the pink damask win
dow curtains were Just the color Of
my cheeks, ftltered Mrs. Paradox.
And e"en then, if YOU will be
good Aousn to recall the fact to your
memory, Mrs. F. remarked her hus-
band, we couldn't agree as to the
pattern Of the parlor carpet, nor
whether the walls should be kalsom-
ined or papered.
We never have agreed, assented
Mrs. Paradox, with pursed up lips.
And never shall, said Mr.. Para
dox.
Perhaps it's Letter, on the whole,
that We are to separrte, said the
lady.
oh, altogether, acquiesced the
gentleman, rattin9 the pennies indlf
ferentIy in his pocket.
I'VE never were suited to one
another, 81 he'd Mrs. Paradox.
/ 'CouldEt have been worse matched
if we had tried for it, remark ed her
husband.
It's pity we hadn't found it out
before we were married, said MIS-.
Paradox.
Better late than never, said Mr..
Paradox.
You said you loved me, said
Mrs. Paradox.
We'll, | thought | did.
L might have known that men
we're deceivers ever, quoted the
wife.
oh, come now, Abby Jane, that
ism t fair said Mr.. Paradox. Our
first quarrel was when you turned
Rover out of the parlor-the old
Newfoundland that had saved my
life
No, it wasn't, said Abby Jane,
with spirit; it was when you called
my aunt Anastasia an old bore and
said you wouldn't take her to
Wednesday evening prayer meeting.
My aunt Anastasia, with property in
government bonds and temper like
an angels.
That's all very WE'LL said Mr..
Paradox, but you seem to have for
gotten that you treated my friend
Dicke as if he had been house
breaker, when I brought him unex
pectedly to dinner.
You refused to take me to Sara
toga, when DR.. Dodkins said that the
waters we're essential to my health,
flashed out the lady.

Quick Wit Wins.

Yeas ago, into Wholesale groce'
~ store in Brooklyn walked a tall,
muscular looking man, evidently a
fresh conner from a backwoods town
in Maine or New Hampshire.
Accosting the first person he met,
who happened TO be the merchant
himself, he asked
You don't want to hire man in
your store, do you?'
We'll, said the merchant, i don't
know, what can you do?'
DO . said the man, I rather
guess | can turn my hand 10 almost
anything-what do you want done ?
We'll, if | was to hire a man, it
would be one that could lift well;
strong, wiry fellow. One, for instance.
who could shoulder a sack OF coffee
like that yon1er, and carry it across
the floor and never lay it down.
There, now, captain, said the coun-
tryman, that's just me. | can lift
anything | hitch to-; you can't suit me
better. What will you give man
that will sut you?
I'll tell you, said the merchant.
If you will shoulder that sack Of cof-
fee and carry it across the store twice,
and never lay it down, | will hire
you for a year at 800 MONTH
Done, said the stranger, and by
this time every clerk in the store had
gathered around and waited to join in
the laugh against the man, who,
walking up to the sack, threw it across
his shoulder with perfect ease, though
extremely heavy, and walking with it
twice across the floor, went quietly
to large hook waioh was fastened
to the wall, and hanging it up, turned
to the merchant and said:
There, now; it may hang there till
doomsday, I chall never lay it down.
What shall go about now, mister?
Just give me plenty to DO and 500
per month, and it's all right.
The clerks broke into a laugh, and
the merchant, disoomGtted yes salts.

partner in the firm, and is worth a.
million dollars.

now almost an octcGenarlan, IN his
'Recollections of a Long Life, has the
following interesting comments upon
bvgoue fas hions
WoMAN's ATTIRE,
within the range Of my observation,
was exceedingly simple. Five or six
yards of calico or cambric were des m-
ed an ample pattern for the dress of
a lady of ordinary proportions. 1t
was made with cores, so as to admit
of due expansion in walking. 1t was
perfectly plan in its style, and free
from ruttles, furbelows and plaits.-
The bonnet of those days was design
ed to cover the head and protect the
face from the rays of the sun, and it
was we'll adapted to its purposes. It
was sparlngly supplied with bows and
ribbons. All the other garments and
adornments of the sex were in lar-
mony with these chief articles of APP
parel. The Methodist ladies of the
time contributed much to restrain the
extravaganza of fashion. They had a
style of dress peculiar to themselves.
1t was simple, neat, convenient, and
as I then thought and still think,
handsome. For some years they
maintained their style with unainch.

Henry Massey ana Wis Patent
bog kiIItng Process

There are supposed TO be not less
than 1000 dogs in this city, and not
withstanding tho fact that the time for
registering dogs will expire ON Monday
next, thus far only about 200 dogs have
been registered. Heretofore, however,
severa! hundred dogs have been regis
tered on the last day Of tue time sp. ci-
fled. 1t is expected that by next Mon
day there mag be from 500 to 1000
dogs re- istered. which will be- about
200 in advance Of former years, which
increase is owing To the excitement
caused by the fear Of hydrophobia.
There will then be- about 1900 dogs
unregistered, and We understand that
1t is the intention Of Iii. Honor the
Mayor. to enforce the ordinance against
all persons who neglected or refused to
have their dogs registered. The fine
for such reRlrrt is S. for every offence,
and repeated fines will be imposed until
the ow ners of dogs will be- compelled to
comply with the ordinance.

In his recent message Governor Pills
bury, of Minnesota, informs the Leg
Isla:ur" that he will veto appropria.
tons made before the money appropri-
ated is in the treasury, as he means
that the State shall not be bidding for
money at high rates of interest, nor
have its expense in excess of its income.
Under the constitution of Minnesota
the Governor can veto any item of an
appropriation bill without killing the
bill itself.
