Going 1t Blind.

Galveston boasts of the smartest horse
trader in Texas. A purchaser for horse
that he was trying to sell could perceive
no defect in the animal. but still he did
not care to buy. He said to the seller:
"The horse seems all right but he
may have some defect can't perceive" :"
The seller, who was standing at the
head of the animal, replied:
~ stand between you and any dam
age"
The buyer thought this was sufficient
guarantee. SO he closed the sale. Next
day he came around raving. The seller
was as calm as a May morning. The
irate purchaser said:
81 want my money back. You guar
anteed the horse sound; and 1 find he
is blind in one eye. You promised to
make good any defect there was about
the horse"
"I did nothing of the kind. If you
take me for fool, you are mistaken.
1t must have been somebody else.''
"What did you tell me when I said
the horse might have some defect l
didn't perceiveP"
81 told you would stand between
you and any damage; and SO did. i
stood between you and the damaged
eye of the horse; and, perhaps that was
the reason you didn't see it. got on
the blind side of the horse Sold"
"Yes," responded the disconsolate
purchaser, "you got on my blind side,
and sold me at the same time. ."-Ga.-

WIT AND WISDOM.

"A medical writer asks: docs DO.
sition affect sleep?" Well, rather; if
you're hung up by your trousers on.a
spiked fence, you won't sleep very
soundly.-Boston Post.
Professor Preyer, of Jena, who has
taken to the psychological study of ba-
bies, saws he sets down in writing every
sound uttered by a child during its first
two years. We should like to see the
manuscript whenever the Professor has
written what a baby remarks when a
pin has given it deep dig.-Graphic.
The Baltimore News has seen her
with it on and thus melts into verbal
tenderness: Ito see sweet, winsome
young face under a Derby hat, the bright,
coy eyes peeping from the brim, the
coquettish half veil concealing the
freckles on her nose, and the little rosy
mouth just budding under the edge Of
the veil--oh, you lovely creature--but
we must change the subject, for if we
continue to linger about it there will be
a scandal"
The Galveston lawyers have got q
good laugh on a brother attorney who
was defending a colored kleptomaniac
on the plea of insanity. The attorney
for the defendant made an eloquent
speech on the irrespontible condition OF
his clients mind to the jury and took
his seat. His idiotic client reached
over, touched his advocates arm, and
said, emphatically: "You is de biggest
fool on Galveston Island" The oppos-
ing attorney instantly remarked:
"There, told you he had lucid inter-
walls. ."-GalUeston NeUs. ...s....
Not long since, in Mississippi
Court, a colored man sued a neighbor
for damages for killing his dog. Colo
mel M, defendants lawyer, called

At Christmas-tide the fields are bare.
A shiver of frost Is in the air;
The wind blows keen across the void,
Gone Is the autumn's gimmer of gold.
But lOi red rose opens wide
In the glowing light of the inRle-side-
A rose whose fragrance, sweet and far,
Is shed ut the beaming of Bethlehem's star:
And once again the angels sing
That Love Is Heaven, and Christ Is King.
At Christmastide the children 70
With dancing footsteps over the snow;
At Christmas-tide the world is bright
With the sudden splendor that thrilled tn
And made the dawn a shining way,
When first earth wakened to Christmas-day,
All! hide your faces, churls and rude.
For none have heart to share your mood.
At Christmas-tide the open hand
Scatters its bounty Ter sea and land,
And none are left to grieve alone,
For Love is Heaven, and claims its own.
At Christmas-tide are Ginning bells:
Oh! -silyery clear their cadence swells.
They smite the cold of arctic plains,
They ripple through falling of tropic rains;
In palaces men pause to hear
The wonderful message OF peace and cheer;
IN lowly huts the peasants pray
With blessing to God for the happy day;
On every breeze the Joy Is borne
Around the globe on the Christmas morn:
And loud once more the angels sing
That Love is Heaven, and Christ is King.
At Christmas-tide, in alb and cope,
But each II ue heart that casts its care >
On the sweet Christ-child hath unaware
A more than priestly chrism poured
Upon IL, down from the mighty Lord;
And grateful spirits haste to lay
Gifts at His feet on the Christmas-day;
While high above the seraphs sing
That Love is Heaven. and Christ Is King.
