(right here you put your rubbers on ;) praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost; (by this time you are out and gone.) Nine~tenths of the unhappy mar- riages are the result of green human calves being allowed to run at large in society pastures without any yoke on them. They marry and have mous- taches. They are fathers of twins before they are proprietors of two pair of pants, and the little girls they marry are old women before they are twenty years old. Occasionally one of these marriages’turns out all right but it is a clear case of luck. If there was a law against young galoots sparking and marrying before they have cut all their wisdom teeth we suppose the little roosters would evade it in some way. But there ought to be a sentiment against it. It is time enough for these bantams to think of finding a pullet when they have raised money enough to buy a bundle of lathe to build a hen- house. But they see a girl who looks cunning and they are afraid there are not going to be enough to go around and they begin to spark real spry and before they are aware of the A young lady is said to terribly up. set in consequence of a mistake she made the other day. Going in a bur- ry to a score after flour, she took up what she supposed was a clean pil- low slip from the bureau drawer. She skipped into the store smiling like a basket of chips and handed the supposed Slip to the grocer. who pro- ceeded to fill it. The first scoopiul went plump through to the floor. When he raised it up to see what was the matter, and displayed two out- lets at the bottom, heavily fringed, the lady lit out without saying a word. The grocer laid the article away to await her return, but up to date she had not appeared in the vicinity. The widow’s lament :â€"Five hus- bands have I buried, with many a sigh and prayer .

The young man smiled sweetly upon her and took something out of his vest pocket and whispered to keep the tablet in her mouth. She shyly placed it under her tongue. rolled it over and over, but it failed to dissolve. She felt much better however. When the sermon was over she slipped the tablet in her glove. being desirous of examining the in- dissolveable little substance that her ” steady ” had given her in the house of worship. When alone in her room she pulled off her glove and out fell a trouser button. She is looking for a new fellow now.
