AUNT KEZIAH'S PHOTodnApn-.
It's got to be dreadful ,fashionablei now-a
days, for folks to.present their pottygrafts to
one tether; and somehow or miller, people
has mot into a ...rate notien of asking me for
mine. I ixpect, just between you . and we,
•
that it's because I'm such a good looking wo
man, naturally. Folks. in - ginral don't Leer
nothing about having nobody's piaer unless
they happen to be kinder Slick looking. '
A couple of weeks ago, a mighty fine gen
tleman called here, and interduced hisselt as
the Honorable Mr. Barkington from Rhode
Island, and an intimate friend of Oot.. Sprague.
what used to be, afore he got married. Ile
sad he'd heern tell a sight, about me, , and my
atnbrill, and my duuihnuts, and as he was
round seeing the—celebrities, he thought he'd
give me's call. I ti)ld 'him I was 'tickled to
death to see him, though, to i tell, the truth, I
warn'ta mite tickled, ror lha;;1 been .a clean
ing out the sink room closets, and had on- the
awfullest raggedest ,old gowtsd•-,that, ever you
sot eyes onto ! It4raomere-fit to put into the
rag bag, than onto: the back tit if:decent Weinitin,
but calico costs so much, Suctihe store keepera
speckerlate so like time, that I'm detartniued
not to buy nothing that I can comfbrtably go
without. I mean to make my old rigging lust
jest as long as it will hang on.
The fact of it is, no woman is glad to see a
strange gentleman when' she aint dressed de
cent, and if she knows she haint a looking
well, ten.' to One she , won't be able to appear
like herself. But I'm used to perdicaments,
and exerted myself to be as pearl and sociable
as though, I didn't know that there'was -two
tremenjus holes in . each of my elbows, and' a
slit as long as na ar u m in:the skirt of My
gowud. Bit, • then,,it's stylish to sbew, yer
petticoat, you know.
We talked about Mr. Sprague. Mr. Bark
ington sed he was a fine wan, and I told him I
thought his green house was the finest! I
seed it last winter, and its about the best look
ing bilding in the place. . I told him I should
think the governor would be apt to make a
mistake, when he come' home nights, and git
into his brother's house iustid of his'n, for
they was jest as much alike as two peas—only
one had a flag staff onto it, and tother hadn't.
And then conversation dropped. There
was quite a little silence. Mr. Barkington
picked his nails—and I braided my apron
strings. Then I happened to think about the
weather, and we talked that clear into the
ground. Then, he began on my doughnuts,
and he kept that topick a going so long that I
began to smell a very large rat.
I went and got a plateful; and seine cheese,
and sot onto the table,.and told him to help
hisself ; and I was well satursfied that he
warn't a soft - soaping me, when he sed that my
doughnuts was 'the best he ever seed, for he
cleared that plate quicker'n yer could pull off
yer boots with a patunt boot jack, unless yer
boots was of that kind that yer have to sleep
into—called a perfect fit.
• At last, he got up to start, and sez he—
" Mrs. Small, my dear madam, I have a
greate favor to ask of you."
"Wall," sea I, "drive ahead I feel putty
favorable."

Spiritual Advice by a Physician
Old Doctor C. was known as a skillful
physician, blunt and downright, but not ad.
dieted to churchgoing. Mr. S., the sick trader
sent for him. The pulse was examined, the
pills dealt.out and the directio6 given. But
as the doctor was taking up his saddle-bags,
Mr. S. turned to him with a pious look :
"I have a solemn request to make for you,
Doctor C.
"What! of me I asoletnn request of me?'
"Yes, ;it concerns my, salvation, and I
hope you won't refuSe it ."
"Why, bless you, Mr. S., that don't come
in my line ; send for the minister."
"But hear me ; I feel that I am a very sick
man, and if at any time you see I am going to
die, want you to let me know at least three
days beforehand."
"But what in. the world do you want to
know, that for ?"
"Oh, I don't know that I am prepared to
die, and I shall want at least two or three days
to prepare."
"Oh, well, make your preparation, make
your preparation, Mr S., aqd if you don't die,
it will not be lost to your customers "
THE DIFFERENCE.-A. testy lawyer, lately
in one of our courts, found himself bothered
with a knotty witness, wlai wouldn't explain,
as he desired, the difference between the.
'• thick" and "Tong" ; kinds of whalebone
"Why, man," he said, "you don't seem to
know the distillation between' the thick and
long',."—"Yaas, I dew." "Explain it, then.'
g Wall—you're pleaguey thick headed, but you
ain't long headed, no
.heow," said the greeny.
Tin liberty of the man must draw for sup
port on that of the youth ; a creeping child of
genius can never become anything better than
a. cringing official on all fours.
