SIGNS When will signs a wonders cease? Not till tbe destroying angel shall clip short the*thread of time, and heavens be roiled together as a scroll, Not a day passes but we see good and bad signs, as the following will show : It is a good s : gn to see a man doing an act of charity to hia fellows, ft is a bad sign to hear hm boast of it. It is a good sign to see an honest man wearing his old clothes. It is a bad sign to aee them filling the holes in his windows. Is is a good sign to see a man wiping the perspiiation from his brow. It is a bad sign to sea him wipe his chops M he comes out <>f tbe cellar. It i> a good sign to see a woman dressing with taste and neatness. It is a bad sign to see a husband sued for her finery. It ia a good sign for a man to advertise in a paper. It ia a bad sign to see the sheriff advertise for him. It is a good sign to see a man sending his children to school. It ia a bad sign to see them educated at evening school on the public square. A STRONG DOSE. —Recently we heard of a good story of an occurrence which took place in Newburyport, Msss. A servant grl in that town went to Doctor Spoffbrd for advice, declaring her ailment to be a pain in tbe bowels* The doctor gave her a cathartic and requested her to call again in a few da?*, which she did. He asked her if she had taken the medicine, to which she replied in tbe affirmative, lie then asked, "Did any thing pass you after taking it 7" ''Yes sir," she said, "a horse and wagon and a drove of pigs." The Dr. collapsed, remarking, "I think you must be better." CS" An old quaker lady waa standing at her counter one day, when a gay young girl came in to engage a hair dresser for the evening. She gave her order hurriedly say ing that ahe wanted a half dozen "rolls" and butterfly on top, a ' Grecian" or "waterfall" at the back, with plenty of "puffa" and "curs," and tilled with an injnnction to snudalong any quantity ol "rats," •mice" and "cataracts." "Poor child," said the dear old lady, com passionately, looking alter her as she departed—"what a pity she haa lost her mind 1" ETA country editor is an individual who reads newspapers, writes articles on any subject, sets type, reads proof, works at press fold* and mails papers, prints jobs, runs nn errands, saws wood, works in the gaiden talks to all who call, receives blame for a hundred things that are no one's business but his OWD, works from SA. M. to 10 P.' M., and frequently gets cheated out of half of bia earnings- Who wouldn't be a country editor 1 POISONED HlM. —Farmer Windsor, living •t Randolph, took a pretty "gall" with him to the circus. Straightway walked his wife to the druggists, of whom she bought some arsenic. This she inserted into a pie of which her husband was very food. Ho ate It next day for dinner, and that night was paat the region of flirtation. Mre. Windsor's address is at Madison jail. JC3T" "A beautiful day, Mr. Jenkin*! "Yes, very pleasant, indeed." 'Good day for the race." "Race, what race 7" "The human race." ' Oh, go along with your tu pid jokes; get up a good one, like the one with which I sold Day." ' Day, what day 7' "The day we celebrate," said Jenkins, who went on bis way rejoicing. C3T"Show me a man that eata cucumbers at night," says Mr- Quilp, "and I'll show you one who takes great paint for his trouble." A THIEF broke out of jail other day. B . Ing recaptured, he told the constable be might have escaped but be had conscientious scruples about travelling on Sunday. C3C" An itinerant preacher, who rambled in his aarmons, when requested to stick to his text, replied, "that scattering shot would hit the most birds." JC3C" If exercise promotes health, those who collect old bills for editors should bo the longest lived people on earth. S3C Ann Maria Sfory was married to Bob Short. A very pleasant way of making a "S tory Short." A critic,malignant enough to tell the truth, •ays that the most awkward thing in nature is-a woman trying to run. An editor out Weat aays, "if time ii money be would like to exchange a little of bis for the "hard." One of twin brothers died; a fellow, meeting the survivor, asked, " Which is it that's dead, you or your brother 7" — A witty printer ; who quit his business, ! studied physic and became a I hysician.gave i his reason for doing so that in printing all the ! flsults are exposed to the eye, but in physic they are buried with the patient. A paper oat west has for its motto. "Good will to all men who pay promptly, Devoted to news, fun and making money," A man, hearing that a raven would live *mo hundred years, bought one to try.
