THE MERCHANT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1875, POETRY Aman rushed breathlessly into a lawyer's office in St Paul, and, approaching the legal luminary, excitedly remarked : "A man has tied a boob to my horse's tail. Can I do anytl1ing ?" "Yes," replied the attorney; "go and untie it." This was good advice, and it only cost the man $s.

Four wild pigeons and seventy five men with guns passed North on Saturday afternoon. We found a large package of genuine greenbacks the other night, but before we had a chance to invest them in a new press we-awoke. An Indiana man said to a Bible agent : " I'm a christ1an, but I'll be blamed if I don't have to grit my teeth when the Ohio river is on a level with the top of my corn." An experienced farmer opines that the man who can plow stumpy ground with a lively pair of mules without swearing, is prepared to go through purgatory with an overcoat on. "You never saw my hands as dirty as that," said a mother reproachfully yesterday to her little eight-year-old girl. " Cause I never seen you whe1i you was a little girl," was_the prompt answer. When. a man goes to a quilting party about tea time, and sits down on a ball of wicking with a long darning needle in it, he will think of more things connected with darning in a minute than he can mention in two hours. An Irish lady, residing near the corner of Ninety-ninth street and Central Park, was very much disgusted the other morning to find a pet goat reclining at full length on her Lreakfast table. She said she wanted no more of that shenanny-gin. She used to keep bits of broken china and crockery piled up in a convenient corner of the closet, and when asked her reason for preserving such domestic lumber, she shot a lurid glance at her husband, and merely remarked : " He kno1vs what them's for." "I lived with him nineteen years," says an Indiana applicant for divorce. " and all the· clothes he ever bought me was a bunch of hair pins and a footh brush." You can see by this what a hard time she had to keep well dressed. A farmer's crib is a gnawful place for rats. "Job printing?" exclaimed an old lady, the other day, as she peeped over her spectacles, at the advertising page of a country paper. " Poor Job ; they have kept him printing, week after week, ever since I larnt to read; and if he was'nt the patientest man that ever was, he never could have stood it so long, no how!" It will hardly be necessary to tell the name of the facetious party who went into a village dry goods store the other cay, and was observed to be looking about,when Che proprietor remarked to him that they didn't keep whiskey. " It would save you a good many steps if you did," was the stage-driver's quick reply. alley, he set his mind to work to evolve a plan of dire revenge. In the course of the day the following vindictive conundrum was posted on the galley-rack by the malevolent disciple of Faust. The bud of the young man's hate had ripened into fruit.
