14 PUCK. _ STRAWBERRY short-cake is so called because it is short of strawbetries.— Picayune. Tue Vicksburg Herald says, ‘‘ The beer gar- den opened ‘last night in a blaze of glory.” —Ficayune, Name your horse Jailer, and when he runs away you can quote a_line of poetry to him, viz., ‘‘ Stay, Jailer, stay, and hear my whoa!” —Derrick, A younc man who belongs to a society says he will recite ‘Shamus O'Brien,” by request, at the next meeting, though he may perish in the effort. O. Aicayune. A succestion in the Oil City Derrick makes jt more pertinent to inquire how much Billy Patterson was “struck” for, rather than who struck him.—Brooklyn Union-Argus. Ir is written of Socrates that, passing through a market, he said, ‘‘ How few of all these things I want.” Soc. was a mighty par- ticular man about his vegetables.— Picayune, Watt Wuitman dares the soul “ to walk with him to unknown regions where there is no ground for the feet.” It was put up or shut up with Walt, and so far not a single soul has accepted the challenge.—Aizayune, AMONG the streams which were favored with an appropriation in the River and Harbor Im- provement bill is Elk River, in West Virginia —the Kiskiminetas of that State, evidently. That this stream needs some improvement is very clear from the statement of an editor of the vicinity, who asserts that he has repeatedly jumped across it while in pursuit of game. Jumping across a river is naturally a great draw- back to navigation, and ought to be stopped— with a Congressional appropriation if neces- sary. No steamship can make satisfactory pro- gress on any mountain torrent with the ever- present danger of encountering a human being in his awful flight from one shore to another. —FPhila, Times, AMD YET BEING SOLD AS YEAST WORTHLESS IMITATIONS GENOIND ARTICLE MATHESIUS & FREY, MANUFACTURERS OF CABINET FURNITURE Fashionable Upholatery, Decorations, £c., at Prices to suit the times.

Dr. Taytor, of New York, suggests that the best way to destroy a fascination for novel reading is to begin ‘at the end of a novel and read backwards till the plot is discovered. It is not necessary to drop into church in sea- son to hear the tail end of the preacher's dis- course in order to destroy the fascination for some sermons.—/Vorvistown Herald. No one can fancy the feelings of the news- paper man when he hears a delinquent sub- scriber whom he has but twenty-four hours be- fore vainly implored to “settle that little bill,” yell out on Sunday, ‘ Put me down $50 for the good of the cause,” when they are “raising the church debt.”— Hudson River Chronicle, Dansvitte is bidding for a fair share of pub- lic patronage in the way of new settlers. The latest temptation to lure the intending Kansas emigrant is announced in this week’s Express: “The cemetery trustees have reduced the price of digging graves about one-half.” —Bu/- |falo Express.
