WOULDN'T "PROGIC."

The first railroad that penetrates a backwoods community in the south, calls the negroes for miles to shake hands, as they term it, "wid de in- zine" The old darkey, who is great respecter of persons and things, does not at first regard the locomotive as a machine, but looks upon it as a mon- strous creature of life.
 "Wall, sah, neber 'spected ter see sich CT sight ez dis" said an old negro who had cautiously approached a rail- road engine and who stood watching the engineer rub the brass cylinders.
 "Why so, old man?" the engineer asked.
 "Caze, sah, thought de Lawd gwine sho'ly put out my light 'fo' dis day come ter pass. Mussy full hebens, dat thing is monst'us! Jes' lissun at him, how he chuggin' hisse'. Bet he wouldn' git outen de way fur mo- body. Bet you eff I wuster meet i'm in de road I'd step erside mighty soon. Whar he raised, mister"
 "New Hampshire"
 "Wall, I better b'lebe you. Look at de man climbin' right up in de thing! Greshes erlive :" he exclaimed, as the engine began to puf, "ef he ain't dun gonew
 "How would you like to ride on it?" some one asked:
 The old negro, regarding his ques- tioner with a look of contempt, re- piled:
 'T mout CT lost CT good deal O sense in my time, but ain't lost it all. Wen l wuz CT young man could ride anything dat come erlaung, but now dat Pse old, I ain't gwine progic, sah 1; l jes' nachully ain't gwine progic."

4 GREAT INVENTION.

"I have invented an Ink" said man to an acquaintance, "thAt will make my fortune"
 "I didn't think there was so much money in ink" the acquaintance re- piled.
 Ordinarily, no; bat in thi. Ink there Is. You may write line with it and it will show up black, but ten minutes sftsrward the paper will bc as blank AS If s pen had never touched it."
 "I sec no advantage in that"
 You doB'H Well, yoa have never lived in a community where 1t Is the fashion to slip in on fellow, put a pistol to his head and make him sign libel. have known many a high-spirited and prosperous young man to be ruined in that way. Now, If man, sitting at desk, had bottle of my ink before him he would be safe. He could sign the libel and let the fellow take the paper away with him. Then he could arm himself and wait for the fellow to come back. l tell you what, this ink will ave many s reputation and be worth many dol- far to me-"

A WHITE MANS CHANGE.

Miss Susie Babrack, who successs- fully mastered the mild diet of boarding school, has been trying to carry her father through literary course. The old man is a patient lis- tener, but when Susie, having read four of Mir. Howell's novels to him, took up the fifth work, the old man said:
 "Jest hold on mint, ef you please. Air all them books the same novel;" "Why, of course not, paw"
 "Wall, l thought they was. reckon all uv lem make about two"
 No, each book is novel,"
 "Ah, hah! Wall, les jest sorter go back an see whut his folks have did" After few moments he added: "I kain't put my finger on nothin' they've ever done, Sorter hep me out on 1t. None uv 'em ever got killed, did they?"
 "No."
 "Any uv 'em ever git crippled?"
 "Of course not, paw"
 "None nv 'em snake bit?"
 "No, sir"
 "Tell me suthin' that one uv lem said"
 "I can't remember now, paw"
 "None of 'em never hit a feller, reckin."
 "No. sir"
 "An' it don't erpear that none nv em ever slipped up an come down kerwhop."
 "No, not that l remember"
 "Wall, let's see. Whut have they been doin2"
 "Don't you know, paw, they talked good deal?"
 "Yas, but when have hearn teller talk, l ginerally ricolleck suthin' he's said, but Pm foorcd this time. Wush l could rickolleck suthin' that would be sort uv redeemin' feature. Think a moment. Air you shore none uv 'em wuz ever snake bit?"
 "I know they were not. paw"
 "Wall, jest turn back thar an put yore finger on a place whar one uv lem ever hit teller"
 "I can't"
 "Wall, then, that brings the meetin' 'twixt me an them books to q close. We've give him all the chance a white man needs an he hain't hit no feller nur allowed no feller to git snake-b bit, so now jest fling them books thar in the fire. Wait mint. Wuz any uv his folks ever flung by hoss?"
 "No, sir"
 "Did any uv 'em ever break colt?"
 "No, paw"
 "Wall, I don't want to be brash an will give him more uv a chance than the average white man needs. Wuz any of his folks ever drug through plum thicket by yoke nv stecrs?"
 "No, sir"
 "Did ary one uv his men ever go down in a well to clean it out an have a ten-pound bucket fall on him?"
 "Of course not, paw"
 "Why uv course not? Ding it. ain't tryin' to git at the lacks an give him mo- than a white mans show? Did ary one uv his boys start to mill with bag of con an the bag tall off in the woods an the boy natter wait six hours before somebody come along to help him up with it?

BROUGHT HIM TO TIME.

Old man Joyner, his wife and daugh- ter and young fellow named Buck are sitting by the fire. Buck is an old acquaintance for so young man, but he has shrinking manner that tells of discomfiture.
 Joyner (addressing Buck)-"Whut's all yo' folks CT doin'?"
 Buck-"Nuthin' much, CT te, he." Mrs. Joyner (rattling her knitting needles)-"The weather's SO pizen like that's it's erbout ez much ez CT body ken do ter stir tall. Buck, set up closter ter the fire. You look like you're mighty nigh friz,"
 Buck (glancing at the fire)-"No'm, l ain't CT cold. Te, he-wa'med jis' 'fo' left home, haw, haw!"
 Joyner-"Buck, whut made yo' britches so muddy? Liz, thar (nod- ding at his daughter), flowed that you muster slipped offen the foot log an' fell in the branch"
 Buck-"No, she didn't.
 Liz-"Yes, did"
 Buck-"Wall, CT whut made you How that2 Haw-te he, he l"
 Mrs. Joyner-"Wall, Liz, ez Bucks yo' comp'ny, Pll go out an see erbout CT snack ter eat"
 Liz (with embarrassment)-"A no comp'ny uv niine."
 Buck (blushing)-"Ain't nobody's comp'ny, UT hur, hur!"
 Mrs. Joyner goes into the kitchen. Liz moves her chair farther away from Buck.
 Joyner-"Wuz you at the shin-dig over at Baily's luther night?"
 Buck-"No; flowed ter go, but my hoss got outen the lot an cl'ared his- self. hearn they had some mighty fine vidults over thar"
 Liz-"They did. I wuz thar"
 Buck-"Who'd you go with?"
 Liz-"Nath Bradley"
 Buck-"He's curis feller"
 Liz-"Why SOP"
 Buck-"Caze he's CT fool"
 Liz-"You'd be erfeerd ter tell him so."
 Buck-"Bet I wouldn't. Knock his jaw off, fools with me-"
 Liz-"Whar do you put all the folks that you knock ther jaws offen!" Joyner (mirthfully)-"Puts 'em in his year, reckon"
 Liz (with sarcasm)-"Wall, he'll natter put in CT good many mo- befo' he gifts it full"
 Mrs. Joyner soon announces that dinner is ready. They go into the kitchen, and Buck, before sitting down, casts quick glance at plate of butter-an extremely scarce article in the neighborhood.
 Joyner-"Now, Buck, jest hep yo'se'f."
 Mrs. Joyner (with solicitous eye OA ehC uultCAI - OOH ' TcCkOu nO- body's much hsungry."
 Joyner and the girl avoid the but ter. Buck reaches over and makes a disastrous whack at it. The old wo- man sighs. Bucks embarrassment has fled, and he makes another whack at the butter.]
 Mrs. Joyner-"All our cows air about dry"
 Buck (cutting the butter)-"One uv lem pears ter be doin' putty we'll" Mrs. Joyner-"Not ez we'll ez CT certain ca'f, it strikes me-"
 Buck (with another whack)-'It's CT good sign when CT calf does well" !" Joyner Gin sympathy with his wife) Mot when he eats of his head, ez we have all knowed caves ter do." Mrs. Joyner (with hopeless glance at the butter)-"Ani the wust uv it is caves never pear ter know when they air eatin' the'r heads off"
 Buck Unconscious of the sarcasm)- "Jest like chawin' uv a rag ter them, reckin."
 Joyner-"Wall, eff you've all got enough, spozen we go in the other room"
 CBuck and the girl go. The old man and his wife remain behind.

A Rushcr ofa Yale Dude.


A dude entered the car, deposited his fare
and sat down between two especially pretty
girls His light striped trousers were cut by
n merchant tailor in q moment of inspiration;
his thrpe-buttoned cutuwuy, his box coat, and
his glossy silk hat were all alike fautless.
Presently the driver entered the car.
"pm one fare short It's your fareI want
We monkey
The dude looked up languidly.
"Weally, deah boy, | paid me fare" no
said.
"D'ye mean to tell me liee" thundered the
enragod driver.
"Looks SO, deah boy" placldly responded
the dude.
The driver caught him by the collar and
swung him up against the roof OF the car,
then down upon the floor, then he jumped
upon bis ribs with his heavy boots, he fell
upon him and maued and kicked him about
In the loose straw in the bottom OF the car
Meanwhile tlb young ladies had fallen out
of the side windows, shrekng "Fren "Mur-
dern "Policel" etc.
AT last the driver leaned agalnstlthe end Of
the car, completely exhausted; he had done
his worst. The dude got up, Strengthened
the kinks ont Of, his glossy collar, adjusted
his cuffs, fiicked little dust from his coat
sleeve, and said: saw! quite through, deah
boy?"
''Ehf" gasped the driver. Saint you dead
yeti Who in the name of the howly virgin
are yez, anyhow, to take such mquling es
that and not be kilt entirelyl''
"Ohl" said the dude airily, '.my name is
Peters. I'm center-rush on the Yale football
team"

There is one thing we have not all
learned, and that is, that hcayen has not
granted us stomachs according TO our
wealth. The rich man cannot eat moro
than the poor man because he is rich.
For that reason there is no use OF pro-
viding menu 50 extensive that even u
Christmas day appetite cannot compass
it. AS we love on this day old times and
old friends, turkey cranberries and
chicken salad are not to be elbowcd out
Of the way by any new dishes or four
and-twenty courses Hero is an old
fashioned Christmas day dinner:

Roast Turkey Oyster Sauce.
Mashed potptocs aud Turrips.
Boiled onions
Celery. Cranberry sauce Pickles.
Roast Spare Ribs Apple NnUce.
Baked sweet Potatoes.

There are few housewives that need
any assistance in preparing any Of these
good things, so comment is restrained.
If more modern and elaborate menu is
required, we may offer word. For
example the procession Of the feast will
be;
Oysters
Portage In relne.
Fried Smelts, Sauce Tartan

Miss Corson suggests at the Christmas
dinner the old game Of snap dragon.
Some raisins are laid on q large shallow
bowl or platter. A toaspoonful of
brandy, alcohol, or any spirit is poured
over them and lighted; the sport is to

THE EVENING POST.
CHRISTMAS SERVICES.

The village church on Christmas Day
Holds kindly hearts aud pleasant faces,
And some are seen to slug and pray
Who seldom go to such like places
But II for only once year
Their hearts nre touched II makes them
BETTER
And he who feels his conscience cloar
Must own himself the seasons debtor.
Enter here both rich and poor,
Come In simple hope and faith;
Leave behind you at the door
Love Of life and dread OF death.
Come on this the day of days,
Humbly pray on Bonded knee;
Sing the fervd song Of praise,
All the seats in Heav'n are free.
