AN ANNOYING BLUNDER.-A New
JERSEY suburbanite tells Hardware this
one: There is an editor in our little
town who just for the present wishes
he were somewhere else. Desiring to
compliment the school teachers of the
place, and extend the circulation of his
newspaper among them, he wrote an
elaborate article, which he headed
"Pension Lot of Our Schoolteachers." :"
He then continued in an eloquent
strain to declare that "there are about
a dozen Of the best-known teachers in
our schools who, because of their long
service in the harness, should be pen
stoned immediately" OF course the
intelligent compositor got in his work,
and as the old man failed to read bis
proof, he was Mortified to find his paper
declaring that there were a lot OF old
schoolteachers in that town who ought
to be "poisoned" Immediately. The
editor informs me, with tears in his
eyes, that this is one of those unpleas-
ant episodes which occur to an editor
now and then.

COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT 1T.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
d MARCH, it Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, it Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. of
the families in the county desire 4 as a regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks. probably, Is the inconven;
ience of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price OF single subscription one year
IS TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to u clubmaker {;
but sends it direct to this office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FINE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay us. Now to our
DrOpOSitiOnS:

MRS. JONES' HUSBANDS GRAVE.

In a Connecticut city, four years ago,
Mr.. Jones died and was buried. His
widow wept over his grave. She deco
rated it with flowers. She kept it
green and often repaired thither to
muse on the virtues of Jones and over
her departed happiness. At least she
thought she was weeping over Jones'
grave.
About the same time that the amia-
BILE Jones "passed over" as the spirit
ualists say, another married man also
passed over. His name was something
else-we shall not say what, for fear
of particularizing too much. The
name of Jones is the real name OF the
husband of the widow of the first part;
but Jones is so general that there is no
danger of particularizing. The other
mans widow did not decorate his
grave or weep over it. She visited it
sometimes at first, but she saw that it
was kept spick and span by someone
she supposed by the graveyard sexton.
After time she ceased to visit it, un-
til one day, after the expiration of
four years, she suddenly determined to
erect q monument over it. Perhaps
she was about to marry again and
wanted to do the fair thing by the first
man before taking the second.
At any rate, she went to the grave
yard to attend to the placing of the
stone. What did she find ? 1t gave her
a startle as if a mouse had run under
her feet to find that already at the
head of her husbands grave had been
securely planted neat cross bearing
the name of Jones. 1t fairly lifted the
bonnet off her head. She consulted
her deed to the cemetery lot. 1t was
correct and numbered in her name.
The Jones whose headstone recounted
the list of his manly virtues was not
her Jones. Somebody had made a
strange mistake and "mixed them
corpses up."
The Widow Jones was apprised Of
the mixing up. She tainted then and
there upon the turf she had been keep
ing green for four years. She would
not believe that she had been wrong
The other widow, whose emotions do
not appear to have interfered with her
level head after the proper interval OF
four years had elapsed, proposed that
the grave should be opened. This was
done, and there upon the coffin of the
man whose grave the Widow Jones
had been watering with her tears for
four years was the name of the other
widows late husband. Her own be-
loved's mortal remains were resting in
desolate, weed covered, sunken plot
next door, as it were. The Widow
Jones had been trimming up the wrong
mans grave.
The only explanation offered of the
strange mistake was suggestion 10y II
bad gravedigger, who would make light
of his own grandmother, that the men
had changed places after they were
buried.

GALL HAVE TO SAY."--A number
of young men were one day sitting
around the fire in the waiting room of
an English railway, talking about total
abstinence societies. Just then a po-
liceman came in with prisoner in
handouts. He listened to the young
mems conversation, but did not give
any opinion. There was also in the
room a Mr.. Mcdonald, minister of
the Gospel, who, hearing what the
young men were saying, stepped up to
the policeman and said:
"Pray, sir; what have you to say
about temperance ?"
"Well," replied the policeman, "all
1 have to say is this, I never took a
teetotaler to prison in my life"

D8 An old army officer, who knew
little of law, had been appointed gov
ernor of West Indian island. The
most appalling duty which the govern
or had to perform was the administra-

addressed Lord Mansfield in a tone OF
great concern, saying he knew nothing
of law, and asking what he should do
as the presiding officer of the local
court of chancery on the island to
which he was going. "Tut, man"
said Mansfield, "decide promptly, but
never give any reasons for your de-
cisions. Your decisions may be right,
but your reasons are sure to be wrong"
