The Result of Shad's Counting a French
Girl by Proxy.
From san Francisco Myleside.
One of our fellows, whom we playfully
dubbed Shad, from fancied resem-
blance about the paunch to that delicious
fish, contided to us one day that he had
out the landlords daughter, and that he
would make her his bride before the end
of the summer. We viewed the prospect
with great favor.
"What will you marry on % we asked.
"Nell, know have not much wealth, +"
replied Shad, meekly, "but don't you
think this place is quite large enough for
both of us?'

Shad placed his hand on his stomach
and raised his eyes to Heaven. He always
swore by bis stomoch, at least those oaths
| he intended to keep, and we were con-

with the father, and as there was no time

How His Second Best Girl Took 1t.


A gentleman presented to young lady
of his acquaintance one of those pretty
and elegant little cases containing nail
polisher, scissors, cosmetics and other
implements for keeping the hands and
nails in good order and now they do not
speak. She refused his gift az an insult
ing suggestion to her that her nails
needed cleaning. He then sent the case
to another young lady, who was not so
sensitive, for she kept it and made ac-
acknowledgements by forwarding him a
cake Of scented soap. And now, strangely
enough, his feelings are very similar to
those of the first young lady.
