his former master had decided to enlist
in the Cuban army, said to him:
"Marse Tom, doan you do no sich
tool thing ez dat —doan you do it?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Kase, Marse Tom —" and here the
old man lowered his voice—"you'se got
a touch er de rheumatism, en you can't
run ez fast now ez you run en-durin' er
de war!"
A Jaundiced View.
"I don't see why it should be deemed
a disgrace," the youthful bachelor re
marked in the course of the conversa
tion, "for a woman to ask a man to
marry her."
"It isn't a disgrace," replied the el
derly maiden. "Idiocy is a misfor
tune."
Patience Rewarded.
His first love's age was just twenty
five,
When at twenty In marriage he
sought her;
He tailed; but again at forty did strive,
And this time he married her daugh
ter.
