THE YANKEE AND THE TAILOR.

An extremely 'down-East' Yankee,
with q wagon-losd of apple-sauce, was
driving through q village not thou
sand miles from Boston, when he saw,
dangling in the wind on a post before
. tailor's shop, q new oyercoat, seduc-
lively suspended by ekewer in the
shoulders. He drove up to the door,
alighted, and went in.
BE you the boss?' he asked of
pale-faced man, who was making dia-
grams with chalk and rule on piece
of snuff colored cloth.

'xpect, hain't you: I see thin boy q

-Four of 'em. That was Jerothnel,

planatory reply.

THE LANGUAGE OF POSTAGE
STA PS.

1t seems that postage stamps as well
rs flowers have a language. Thus,
when postage stamp has been placed
upside down on the left corner of the
letter it means II love you :" in the
same crosswise, My heart is anoth-
er's;;" straight up and down, GOOD
by, sweetheart, good-by; upside down
I'm the right-hand corner, "write no
more ;;"in the center, at the top, "Yes;"
On the right-hand corner, at a right
angle. "Do you love me ?' in the left
hand corner, "I hate you :" top corner
on the right, wish your acquaint-
ance; on q line with the surname,
" Accept my love ;" the same upside
down, Pm engaged :" at right an
gle In the same place, long to see
you :" in the middle, at the right-hand
edge, '"write Immediately" While
this is all very good as far as it goes,
those who put q stamp on any but the
upper dght-hand corner of an envel-
ope must hold themselves responsible
for all the swearing of the post-office
clerks.

AN ESSAY ON WOMAN.

The funny man of the Eureka (Nev.
Sentinel, thus gives away to his over
charged soul on the subject of woman :
After man came woman;
And. she has been after him ever
since.
She is a person of free extraction,
being made from mans rib.
don't know why Adam wanted to
fool away his ribs in that way, but I
suppose he was not accountable for all
he did.
It costs more to keep a woman than
three dogs and shot gun.
But she pays you back with interest
by giving you housefull of children
to keep you awake all night and smear
molasses candy over your Sunday coat.
Besides, a wlfe is very conyenient
article to have around the house.
She is handy to swear at whenever
you cut yourself with a razor and don't
feel like blaming yourself.
Woman is a superior being in Massa-
chusetts. .; ..
There are about 10000 more of her
sex than males in that State.
This accounts for the terrified, hunt
ed down expression of the single men
who emigrate from the east. =
Woman is not created perfect.
She has her faults-such as false hair,
false complexion, and so on.
But she is a great deal better than
her neighbor, and she kdows it.
z Eve was woman.
She must have been q model wife,
for it cost Adam nothing to keep her
I'm clothes. .-f
Still, I do not think she was happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles and
air her information about everybody
she knew, nor excite theenvy of other
ladies by wearing her new winter bon
net to church.
Neither could she hang over the back
fence and gossip with her near neigh
. bor.
All of these blessed privileges were
denied her.
Poor Eve she's dead now.
