MOVING DAY.
Some Of the Annoyances and Incidents
of this American Custom.

Why People Move, and What They Endure
en- Moving.
| May is the month of moving. In New
! York, Chicago and other large cities there
is a general fitting, and some years ago
an illustrated paper,had a clever travesty Of
the custom, all the houses being represented
/ running about and changing places. There
M a general hubbub in the family, a great
IDEAL of discomfort, a breaking up of pleas
ant associations, and a change all around.
People who move seldom count the cost
beforehand, OF if they do, they put it
down among the necessaries of life. This
annual outing would give them a summer
trip, but they accept it as an equivalent
and stay at home. Those who are fond
of a change get it in that way. A new
row of houses opposite, new faces at the
windows, a new postman at the door,
new people passing and new neighbors
to call, and be called on. It widens the
| social circle, and if the house is new and
pleasant it has a background of many de-
sirable tints.
Then there is the excitement of moving.

A FAIR SHOW.
Making a Hog Happy, aid How it
Resulted.

NGSu1CGQs
We were sitting in front of Taylor's
grocery on a summer day, when a big
black hog came rozing along the gutter
and started a new train of thought. In
the crowd of %loungers was a man from
st. Louis, and, after watching the porker
lor a while, he remarked:
~ won0er if that hog ever had a real
good time in all his life ?"
"Hogs allus have good times, I guess
remarked the village cooper, who had
knocked off work and come over to hear
some politics.
~ doubt IT," said the other. "He
must feel his degraded position in life,
and so he cannot be happy. I wish |
could do something to make him feel that
life is worth the living"
"Fust man I ever saw who pitied a
hog! p -grunted the blacksmith, who ought
to have been lacking a shoe on a waiting
mule.
Eyes, I do pity him. I've been down
myself and know how it is. Taylor, have
you got any cherry whisky ?"
Mighty little, If any. More cherries
than whisky, I guess"
eff you've two quarts Of cherries
which have been in liquor, bring 'em out,
and I'll. give you half a dollar. I'm going
to make that hog happy for two hours"
The grocer got the cherries, which had
been lying in liquor for a couple of years,
and the St. Louis man poured them out
into the gutter for the hog. They were
devoured with astonishing avidity, and
the porker stood and looked at US and
hungered for more. It was doubted by
some if the liquor would affect him, but
after a few uiputes he began to frisk
and play, and was evidently under the
influence.
"That does me good" said the donor
OF the cherries. He is being light
hearted, and life viii now take on new
charms to him. Hang a man who won't
give a hog a show!"
Just then the animal uttered a coarse
"woofY" and charged for the crowd. We
scattered and he entered the grocery, took
two or three turns, and shot out and down
the street. Esquire Smith was coming
up, and the hog charged and upset him.
He then headed for a horse and buggy in
front of Snyder's; crashed against the
horses hind legs, and in another moment
there was a runaway. The widow Wat
kins was sailing along with a can of kero-
e in her hand, and the hog rolled her
