IKON WIDDL0.
Busby of Treotno celebrated bis
"iron wedding" one day lint week tod
be invited about ooo hundred and
twenty guests to the wedding. Of
court each person felt compelled to
bring a present of some kind.and each
did. When Mr. and Mr. Smith came
they banded Busby a pair of flat-irons.
All hands laughed at the coincidence,
and there was eren greater merriment
when the Browns arrired with two
pairs of flat-irons. But when Mr. and
Mrs. Robinson came in with another
pair of flat irons the laughter became
perfectly convulsive. There was, how
aver, something less amusing about it
when the Thompsons arrived with four
fiat irons wrapped io brown paper.
And Busby's face actually looked
grave when the three Johnson girls
were ashered into the parlor carrying
a flat iron apiece. Each one of the
succeeding sixty guests brought flat
i . i i ..
irons, ana mere was no create in ine
continuance until old Mr. Curbycame
irotn rniladelphia with a cast iron
cow bell. Now Busby has no earthly
use for a cow bell, and at any other
time ha would have treated such a
present with scorn. But now he is
actually grateful to Mr. Cur by, and
be was about to embrace him when the
Walsinghams came in with the new
kind of double pointed fiat iron with
wooden handle. And all the rest of
tha guests brought the same articles
except Mr. Rugby, and he had with
him a patent stand for holding flat
irooa. Busby got madder aud madder
very minute, and by (he time the
eompacy had all arrived ha was near
)y insance with rage, and ha went up
to bed leaving bis wife to entertain the
guests. In the morning they counted
up the spoils and found they bad 213
flat irons, one stand, and a cow bell.
And now the Busbys hava cut the
Smiths and Browns and Jacksons and
Thompsons and the rest eutirely, for
they are convinced that there was a
preconcerted design to play a trick
upon them. The fact however, is that
tha hardware store in the place had
an overstock of flat irons and sold
them at an absurdly low figure, and
Busby's friends went for the cheapest
thing th.v could find, as people always
do on puoh occasions. Busby thinks
ha will not celebrate bis "silver wed
ding." i
Flease stop ray What f Times are
hard, money is scarce, business is dull,
retrenchment is a duty please stop I
my Whisky? Oh, no ; times are not '
hard enough for that But thero is
something else that costs me a large
amount every year which I wish to
save. Please stop my tobacco, cigars
and snuff? No, no, not those ; but I
must retrench somewhere. Please stop
mj ribbons, jewels, ornaments and
trinkets? Not at all ; pride must fee
fostered, if times are ever so hard j but
I believe I can see a way to 0ect
quite a saving in another direction
please top my tea, coffee, aad need
less and unhealthy luxuries? No, no,
not those ; I must think of something
lse. Ah I I have it now. My paper
costs (2 a year; I must save that.
Please stop my paper I That will car
ry me through the panic easily. I be
lieve ic retronchmentand economy, es
pecially in brains. Baptiet Watchman.
An inebriate got into a car in Bos
ton, and became so annoying to the
passengers that it was proposed to
eject him ; but a kind-hearted rever
end doctor interposed for him, and
soothed him into good behavior for
the remainder of the journey. Before
leaving, however, he scowled upon the
occupants of the car, and muttered
some wvrds of contempt, but shook
hands warmly with the doctor, and
said : "Good-day, my friend. I see you
know what it is to be drunk."
A few days ago a hungry party sat
down at the well -spread supper table
of a Bound steamer, upon which one
of the dishes contained a trout of
moderate size. A serious looking in
dividual drew this dish toward him,
aaying, apologetically, "This is fast
day with me." His next neighbor, an
Irish gentleman, immediately inserted
his fork into the fish and iwur
it to his own plate, remarking, "Sir,
do you suppose nobody has a sowl to
be saved but yourself?"
A literal-miuded youngster was
picked up by a visitor of the family,
who, dandling him on his knee, said :
"I wish I bad this little boy; I think
there's money in him." To which
promptly -responded the child: "I
know there is, for I swallowed a cent
when I was at grandma's the other
day."
A man in tha Philadelphia insane
asylum imagines himself a woman.
He dresses himself in female attire
and parts bis bair in the middle. Dur
ing the day he associates with the fe
males and does sewing and embroide
ry of tha finest kind. He has been
reserved for the Centennial.
A professor who stated that one can
not taste in tha dark, as nature intends
ua to see our food, was nearly floored by
a pupil who asked, "How about a
olioa man's dinner?" But recovered
himself by answering : "Nature, sir.has
provided him with eye-teeth."
A Milwaukee boy has swallowed
half a docen steel buttons, and his
mother dosen't have to scream for him
when ha is out on the street playing
with those Cluckerson boys. She just
brings a magnet to the door, and he
flies to it like a needle to the pole.
