The Vagabond Sage.

An old man of very active physi-
ognomy, was brought to the police
court. His clothes looked as if they
might have been bought second
hand in his youthful prime; for
they had suffered more from the
rubs of the world than the proprie-
tor himself.
"What business?"
"None; I'm a traveller"
"A vagabond, perhaps?"
"You are not far wrong. Travel
ers and vagabonds are about the
same. The difference is hat the
latter travels without money and the
former without brains"
"Where have you travelled"
CAN over the continent"
"For what purpose?"
observation"
what have you observed"
"a little to commend, much to
censure, and a great deal to laugh
at"
"Humph! What do you COM
mend2"
"a handsome woman hal will
stay at home, an eloquent preacher
that will preach short sermons, a
good writer that will not write too
much, and q tool has sense enough
to hold his tongue"
"What do You censure 2"
"A man that marries a girl for her
fine clothing, a youth who studies
medicine while he has the ISL of his
hands, and the people who will
elect a drunkard to Office"
"What do you laugh at?"
81 laugh at a man who expects
his position to command that re-
spect which his personal qualifica-
tons and qualities do not merit"
He was MISUNDERSTANDING.

Among the many queer sayings
which one often hears none is more
peculiar than "It's raining cats and
dogs" Some say that the expression
came from the French word catadouJ,e
a waterfall; but there is more pleasing
explanation Of how the phrase came
into use. In some parts Of England
the blossoms Of the. willow tree are
called seats and dogs" These bios.
SONS increase in size very quickly
after few warm showers in April.
and It was believed once that the rain
brought them. Hence the saying. "It's
raining cats and dogs"
