- - f TPvic class common-
iyaT'were 'seated upon the
.rSj ofthe Tree Prc office, a day or
wpsJftclShaviDg disposed of their stock in
-VMe.tod feeling, Inclined to eDjoy the genial
hMt trim April son as it poured down bright
and warm upon their resting place. The pro
fits of the day's work were counted over, and
the conrersation, in a confidential vay, grad
ually turned upon the respective merits of the
several dailies of the city. Both agreed that
the Free Press -went off three to one when
compared to the others, and young enthusiast
l"o. 1 swore he'd "be dog derned if it warn't
the gallusost paper In the whole country."
At this emphatic expression of opinion, his
friend Bob administered a severe poke in the
ribs, accompanied with "Ah ha ! swere'd, did
ye ; give me that cent now." Upon inquiry
we found that a bargain had been ratiued, by
which each of the friends had.agreed to pay
the other a cent every time he swore. Dod
ger demurred in this case, however, on the
ground that "dog derned" wasn't swearing,
and, the dispute waxing warm, the matter was
referred to a clerical looking young man, who
passed at the moment, who decided that it was
swearing, and, seeing the cent paid over, in
quired the nature of the arrangement. It was
duly explained, with the additional informa
tion that during last week, Dodger gotten
cents ahead. This evidence of a desire for
reformation pleased the meek young gentle
man Tery much, and he patted the unctions
Dodger on the head with "Good boy, good
boy what did you do with the money give
it to your mother ? put it in the charity box T
send it to the missionaries ?"
"Mis-sion-a-ries !" replied the indignant
Dodger, contemptuously, "Bob won it all
back, playing "old sledge" last Scnday J"

The finest idea of a thunder storm extract
was when Viggins came home tight. Xow
Viggins is a teacher, and had been to a tem
perance meeting, and had taken too much
lemonade, or something. He came in the
room among his wife and daughters, and just
then he tumbled over the cradle and fell whop
upon the floor. After a while he rose and
said
"Wife, are you hurt ?"
"Xo."
"Girls, are von hurl ?"
"No."
"Terrible clap, wasn't it ?"
A Good Remedy. The local editor of the
Lynchburgh Virginian, publishes the follow
ing, and says ho has tried it and found it a
good remedy :-r-"To cure a pain in the breast,
procurea well made silk or woolen dress with
an equally well constructed woman inside of it
and press close to the part affected. Repeat
the application till the pain ceases. This re
cipe, when the directions are carefully ob
served, has rarely been known to fail to effect
a cure. The medieino is found in almost ev
ery household, and may possibly cost a trifle.'
We find the following capital parody on Mc
Kay's "Tell me, ye winged winds V is going
the ronnds : -
Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
Do ye not know some spot
Where women fret no more I
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some "holler in the ground,"
Where babies never yell,
And cradles are not found 1
The loud wind blew the snow into his face, -And
snickered as it answered, "Nary place."
Spiders Gettisg Rabid. Spiders seem to
have run mad this year. The women folks
will need to use their brooms unsparingly at
the corners of their rooms and extirpate the
dangerous creatures. We learn from the Bus

rah J. Colbourn, of Chaplin, Ct., died on Tues
.7 of last week from the bite of a black spi
- J the third death this season from the same
AD.se. The chewing of catnip and binding
he bruised herb upon the wound, is said to
be a perfect antidote.
