An unhrnken Smell.

When we have spell o weather"
and wet weather at that, we have only
to recall the climatic conditions Of
Dartmoor, in England, in order to be
thankful for a little.
The moor has. says a writer in Corn
hill. an eternal procession Of clouds,
infinitely varied In form, lighted with a
white radiance or lowering in gloom,
rent, tattered or filmy, gathering, mem
acing, creeping round to swath you in
a mist Of rain or dropping one Of those
sllvery showers lighted with sunshine
from behind.
OF heavier rain there is no lack, and
all one can say Of the perennially beau
tiful moor is summed up in the verse
invented by It's enemies:
The south wind always brings us rain.
Tho north wind blows Il back again.
The west wind surely means wet weather
The east wind wet and cold together.

rryInr a Joke.

Some years ago in North Carolina
court, Judge Shipp presiding, the trial
of q cause had been protracted till near
midnight The jury were tired and
sleepy and showed tagging attention.
Willie Murchison, who was addressing
the jury thought TO arouse them, so he
said, Gentlemen, l will tell you an
anecdote" Instantly the judge, the
jury and the few spectators pricked
up their ears and were all attention, as
Murchison was admirable in that line,
had fund Of anecdotes and no one
could tell them better. But he soon
proceeded 10 tell one of the dullest
prosiest and most pointless jokes pos
sible Everybody looked disappointed.
The Judge, leaning over, said in an .un-
mistakable tcne Of disappointment,
''AIr. Murchison, / don't see the point
of that Joke" "Nor I. either" replied
the witty counsel. But your honor
told it to me on our way down here,
and, as / thought the lack Of apprecia-
tion must be due to my obtuseness, I
concluded to give the joke a trial by
