A Kansas paper gives the following
advice to young men who are contem-
plating matrimony: Don't ask a
girl to marry you after dark when she
is dressed fit to kill. Call on her, and
when you leave inadvertently drop a
glove on the piano. Return for it the
next morning at nine o'clock. If she
comes to the door with one shoe and
curl papers, dressed in an old mother
hubabrd, our advice is to take to the
woods. But If she appears in a neat
house dress, her hair done up, and a
rose in the top of her hair, grab her
quick"

Instead of using swords or knouts on

let them assemble in mass geeting and

for in barns, and the performers are
limbering up their joints, wearing
overcoats to turn fiip-faps, and every
body has a cold, and looks blue, and
all are anxious for warm weather.
Pa created a sensation when we ar
rived by his stunning clothes, his jet
black chin whiskers, and his watch
chain over his checkered vest, and
when the proprietors introduced pa to
the performers and hands, as an old
