(very promptly leOh,.no, sir not
by any means"
"Well, do you think he is a mean
man?v !.
@sWell, with regard 10 that" said
the deacon, little moro deliberately,
III may say that don't really think
he is a mean man; I've sometimes
Thought he was what you might call a
keerful MANA prudent man."
e"What do you mean by a prudent
man?"
lleWonyI moanlthis; ahat ioue time
he had an execution for IS against old
Widow Witier, back here, and he
went up to her house and leyied on
flock Of ducks. lie chased them
ducks, one at a time, round tho house

Ne and Betsy,

VI
One day n bear walked out Of the
woods and, all uninvited, entered the
humble homo where thelman and his
wife Betsy were sitting. AT sight OF
his bruinship the lord of creation
arose from his chair with a wild yell
of terror, and, without thought of his
wife, hasiened to climb to place of
refuge on top of an old Dutch clock
that stood IN ono corner of the room.
The more valiant Betsy stood her
ground, aud seized long poker and
fiercely attacked the bear. and did not
dcsist, in spite Of tile game defence
which he made until she had stretched
him dead at her feet. Hor lord and
master from bis safe perch watched
the combat between her aud the bear
with evident interest, and ever and
anon kept shouting. "Giye 1t to him,
Betsy M "Iiit him another wipe
across the head" "smash his internal
skull" etc. As soon as he became
satisfied that the brute was dead and
there was no danger of his "coming
to" he haetened to descend from the
clock aud summon all the neighbors
for miles around saying to oil those
~hom no met, 81 want Won 10 CONS
to. our house and see the bear tha,
Meend Betsy have just killed."

What q Boy Knows About Girls

j If HIH HH If |HH 10. .f &
Girls arc the most unaccountablost
things in the worll-oxccpt n woman.
Like the wicked flea, when you have
tIien they ain't there. | lean cipher
clean over the improper fractions,
and the teacher says do first rate
but ]. cau't cipher out a, girl, proper
or improper, and you can't either.
The only rule in The arithmetic that
hits their case Is the double rule OF
three, q They are as full of Old Nick
as their .sllips can hold, and, they
would die ii they could not torment
somebody. When they try to be
mean . they are asmean as pusley,
though they amt as mean as they let
on, except sometimes, and then they
are, "a good deal meaner. The only
way TO get along with a girl when
she comes 10 you with her nonsense
is TO give her-tit for tat, and that will
flummux her, aud when you get a
girl fummuxed she IS as nice as a.
pin. A girl can SOW more wild oats
in d day Than a boy cau SOW In year,
but the girls get their. wild oats
sowed' d'afier while, which boys never
do, and then they settle down as calm
and placid as a mud-pudile- But ]
like girls fret rate, and / guess the
boys all do. don't care how many
tricks they play on me--and they
don't care either. The hoitytoityist
girl in the. world can always boil
over like glass OF soda. BY and by
they get into the traces with some.
body they like, and pull as steady as
an old stage horse. That is the beau
ty Of them. So lei them wave, say (;
they viii pay for il some day, sewing
on buttons aud trying TO make q man
out of the fellow they have spliced on
to, and ten chances TO one II they
don't get the worse Of II. Hgs ei'a
