A Sensitive Donkey.

An excellent story is told about young
man whose attentions to a young lady be-
came the s~bject of comment. She was his
companion in his daily rides, and aDpa-
rently they both enjoyed the propinquity.
Suddenly the rides ceased, and the young
fellow was asked the reason. He replied
that she had called him a jackass, and
that he would not ask any girl to ride with
him after that. The lady's friends We're
shocked, and asked for particulars. This
was his explanation: "1ou see- we mad
been so much together that gave out in
topics of conversation, and when took
her out last l couldn't think of anything
but the weather, and I said: 4 believe it
is gong to rain; l felt drop on my ear.
She looked at me and carelessly said
That rain is a half mile off, Now, did
not that mean l was Jackass with long
ears? l have never been near her since"

Most of our readers have thought very
little of the fact that in the emulation
they see clinging to the sweet gum tree in
the hot summer months there is princi-
pie that is considered the most powerful
stimulating expectorant known. They
have no doubt thought less of the fact that
in the mullen plantseen in the old fields is
a mucilaginous substance that acts as a
soothing demulcent on the infame,. ~Ur-
faces of the lungs, and which has attract
ed the attention of the medical world in
consequence of its wonderful effects on
consumption. When these things are
considered it is not surprising that "Tay-
