How The Darkey Made Love.

WEARS ago young planter was
i courting certain young lady in
the sunny South.
One day he ordered his negro coach
man to drive down to the residence of
his inamorata.
The next morning Cuffee observed his
master and the young lady proceeding
arm in arm to summer house, around
which vines had overspread, making
it cool retreat from the sultry heat.
Be it known that Cuffee, on his
arrival, had fallen desperately in love
with the ebony cook in the kitchen,
but he was dumfounded in the pres
ence of that sable womon, the art of
love making being to him an almost
unfathomable mystery. Cuffee, how
ever was bound to learn, and he silently
followed the pair to the shady bower.
Parting the vines with his hands he
very cautiously looked in. There on q
bench sat the young lady, and, kneeling
on the ground was master, who was
holding her hand in his. Cuffee heard
these words
"Oh, your eyes are like dove's eyes
Your alabaster neck sets me on fire.
Oh, Cupid"
AS quick as possible Cuffee disappear
ed from the scene. He returned to the
kitchen, turned kettle bottom side up,
seized the bewildered Dinah and set her
on the kettle. Then getting down on
his knees he took both her hands in
his, and with upturned eyes, exclaimed,
"Oh your eyes are like dogs eyes Your
yally blasted neck sets me on fire. Oh,
blue pot"
The last seen Of that unfortunate dar-
key he was fleeing from the wrath to
come, followed by sundry stove sticks
propelled by the irate and indignant
Dinah.

MANY years ago three prominent
lVl and well known attorneys, Messrs.
Loomis, McCandless and Hampton, hap
pened to meet after separation of SOME
time, and In the course of the conversa-
tion that ensued very naturally reverted
to the scenes of their early professional
life.
One case, that of Bartlett We. Bartlett,
came In for considerable discussion. 1t
was rather celebrated local case in
which one brother sought to dispossess
the other of 15O acres of land. The three
attorneys named appeared for the plain
tiff, and won the case for him after a
lengthy review of the case, which had
served as a precedent for many similar
ejectment suits that followed II in subse-
quent years. McCandlass turned to
Loomis and inquired:
BY the way, brother Loomis, what
did you do with your third of the
farm 2"
"Well, really, I almost forget" )" re-
piled Loomis, but rather suspect i
must have hypothecated 1t for small
loan. But what did you do with yours,
brother McCandless 1 do not re-
member now what disposition you made
of it,
ooh broke it up into small lots and
sold it to several different parties,'' an
swered McCandless, who turned to Mr.
Hampton and asked; " And what did
you do with your third, brother Hamp-
ton 2"
81 still own it," returned Hampton,
"and it has grown TO be quite valu-
able.'
Col. j. f. Moore, who was then a boy,
and engaged in assisting the clerk of the
court, at this point broke into a loud
laugh, which suddenly brought the con-
versation to close.
McCandless looked at him severely
for moment, and said:
What do You mean by laughing,
young man when your elders are en-
gagged in conversation 7"
"Please excuse me, gentlemen, be-
gan the lad, "butit sounds very funny
to me. What would like to know is
this if each of you got one third Of
the farm, what did your client get?"
why, he got the decision," said
McCandless, with a twinkle in his
eye.

Didn't Want to Disturb His Wife.

A JOLLY, fun loving saloonist tells
n the following good story on him
self "A few nights ago he went home
very early-in the morning, mind you
with his keg pretty full, to employ
his own phrase, and concluded not to
alarm his wife, who was no doubt at
that moment enjoying delightful re-
pose; that sweet balm which Shaks-
peare tells us "knits up the raveled
sleeve of care"
Cautiously and noiselessly he entered
the gate. Quietly he sat down on the
graveled walk to remove his shoes and
stockings. Stealthily he stepped upon
the porch. With cat like agility he
mounted box standing near by and
began crawling through the open tran
som over the door. Just as he had sue
ceeded in pressing his body through the
aperture, and managed to wiggle one
leg after it, he lost his balance and fell
to the floor with thud as heavy as If a
big bag of sand had been heaved through
the hole. Naturally enough it aroused
his wife in an instant, and springing to
her feet she caught sight of her liege
lord before her all curled up in q
heap.
"Why, husband!' she exclaimed In
alright, =" what in the world is the mat
terry"
"Nossin, my dear, JUS ought I'd
come home t'yer."
"Well, but didn't you fall ?"
"Yes'm; reck'n so. Didn't sit down
(hic) anyway"
Are you hurt, dearY"
"Guess not; I'm all here--reckon.'
How came you to fall, dear Y''
Well, ye-see, didn't want % 'sturb
ye rattlin' e door; so JUS sought I'd
crawl through trans'um, don 't-ye-see,
an lost my balance. Dazwhazzemaz-
zer."
Why, my dear husband, you must
have been tired and sleepy, for the door
has been standing wide open all night.
1t was SO warm 1 was compelled to open
it to keep from suffocating."
And sure enough the door under the
transom through which he had wedged
himself was standing wide open !
Looking around with silly grin, he
said:
''Za's fact Deuced good joke, (hic)
amt it'll Hell hel Z'wouder / didn't
feel zat hole, ain't-'t?"

THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA NOVEMBER 4, 1879
A Dead Sure Bet.

ONE OF the frequenters Of brokers'
~ Office, in this city, Is a man who
will bet on any kind of a proposition.
When he enters the Office In the morn
Ing he greets the gentlemen present by
saying:
Mornin', boys Is there anything
any of ye want to bet on this morn
Ing ~"
And he hangs around all day watch
Ing for chances to bet; and, IL O man
ventures an opinion about the stock
market, hints that perhaps Sierra Ne
vada may sell for 40 next week, he will
pounce on him like hawk on June
bug, and offer to bet him hundred that
1t don't sell for 40 in six years.
The other day the boys put up job
on him. They got fly, dipped its feet
in mucilage,and stuck it ton sash frame
in the office. Flies are pretty thick
around this office. OF course, there is
not much for u fly to eat in brokers'
office; but, between ink, and mucilage,
and the breaths of the clerks, they man
age to eke out subsistence.
Pretty soon another fly sailed in
through the door from a restaurant
around the corner, and settled down on
the sash near the fly that the boys had
fixed, and in few moments the betting
man dropped in, with his usual saluta-
ton about betting.
After some preliminary skirmishing
about not being on the gamble, being
busted in stocks, and other little by
plays to make the betting man think
they were not anxious for wager, one
of the boys spoke up and said:
"Pard, I'll tell you what 1 will do, I'll
bet you that fly in the corner of that
sash moves before that other fly about
six inches from him does.'
The fly in the corner was the fly from
the restaurant, and the other was the
fly with the mucilage ON its feet.
d" It's whack ~ said the betting man.
"Bet you hundred my fly moves
first.'
The money was put up, and all eyes
were intently bent on the window
Pretty soon the mucilage fly made a
struggle to free itself, and succeeded in
dragging itself about half its length on
the sash-frame.
I" My money |" exclaimed the betting
man.
The Others did not want to give up,
as the movement had only been barely
perceptible.
Did you want to keep me here all
day betting against dead fly ?" said
the betting man.
The boys rushed to the window to
examine their fly.

g. Men sometimes object to the doc
trine of the depravity of mankind.-
But the strongest teachings of the Bible
and of the pulpit are more than con-.
firmed by their own actions-by the con-
duct of the world itself. Every bolt and
bar and lock and key, every receipt and
