•' Wipe off your Chin." 



She had several of tlic iicii.'liliiirs in to look at a new 

 hurcau, ami very ualuraily ilriltcil off Into an exposi- 

 tion of liureaus .'^lic liail liad herself, and which her 

 mother had had. Her stjn was doing; his lcv«l best 

 to comiuer the Intricacies of anew work oo Indian 

 scoutinj;. Finally he whlh|Hreil to her — 



" Mother, wipe oM your chin." 



She made a hurried movement over that part of 

 her features, lliisliini; sllt'litly as she did so. Aud 

 then she went on with th(^ discourse. 



" Mother," hew lil8|K'rcd a(;ain, wife off your chin." 



With a ncrvons twitch of her ajiron she soui;ht to 

 remove the olfenslvc iiartiele, nervously wondering 

 what It could he. Just as she got well to going again 

 he whispered for the third time — 



" Mother, wl|)e olfyonr ehln." 



" Land's sake-, ehilil," she sepulchrally howled, 

 " what is there on my chin ;" and she rulihed It with 

 a vehemence painfully suirgestive of combustion. 



"Wipe oil your eiiin," he hastened to advise the 

 instant site eea.'^ed the in<»vement. 



.She Hew at that feature airaln, and ruhlied with all 

 her mit;hl, while the water irathiTed in her eyes, and 

 her face (;rew red with mortllleatlon. 



" There," she gasped, " it's olf now, I guess." 



lie was almost consumeil with smouldered laughter 

 but he managed to suggest for the fifth lime — 



" Wipe oil' your chin." 



" Mercy iu heaven ! what Is the matter with my 

 chin?" she yelled right out, losing all control of her- 

 selfj and staring at her visitors In an agony of suffer- 

 ing. 



Then she plunged Into another room to consult a 

 glass, and he dislnirsed himself out of the hack door. 

 When she came back the la'dics were exchanging slg- 

 nilicant smiles ami looks with each other, and pretty 

 soon they left, leaving her in a very uneomfortahlc 

 state of mind. It was some time before she learned 

 what was the trouble with her chin, and then she dM 

 not feel any better, — Dauhnry Xeirs. 



The phrase, " acknowledged the corn " Is variously 

 accounted for, but the following is the true history of 

 its origin : In IS'iS, .Andrew Stewart, M. C, said in a 

 speech, that Ohio, Imliaiia and Kentucky, sent their 

 hay-stacks, corn-lields and fodder to New York and 

 Philadelphia for sale. Wieklitlc, of Kentucky, called 

 him to order, declaring that those States ilid not send 

 hay-staeks or eorn-Iields to New York for sale. 

 "Well," asked Stuart, "what do you send V " Why, 

 horses, mules, cattle anil hogs '" •■ Well, what makes 

 your horses, mules, catties and hogs ;" You feed ?10l) 

 worth of hay to a horse, you just animate and 

 get upon the top of your hay-stack and ride off to 

 market. How is it with your Ciittle? You make one 

 of them carry fifty ilollars' « orth of h.iy ami grass to 

 the Eastern market ; how much corn docs it take at 

 thirty-three cents a bushel to fatten It!" "Why, 

 thirty bushels." "Then you ]iut that thirty bushels 

 into the shape of a bog and make it walk off to the 

 Eastern market." Then Wicklitfe jumped up and 

 skid ; " Mr. Speaker, T acknoutkdge the corn."

A I.oxr. Eel. — When Matthews, the elder, was a 

 boy, anil lived with his father, a bookseller In the 

 Strand, a short, musculHr fellow dally cried eels with 

 guttural voice — " three pence a pound e-e-e-e-e-e-els," 

 elongating the word from Craven street to Ilungerford 

 .street, till pcmple used to say, " What a long eel ! " 

 Matthews having imitated him to the great 6atisfac> 

 tion of many auditors, one day looked out for the 

 original, and saluted him with the imitation ; but he 

 had no taste for such ingenuity, and placing his 

 eel-basket deliberately on the ground, he hunted the 

 boy Into his father's shop, and felled him with a 

 heavy blow. " Next time," saiil the eel-vender, " as 

 you twists your litt le wry mouth alx>ut , and cuts your 

 mugs at a respectable tradesman, I'll skin you like 

 an ee — " and snatching up his basket finished the 

 monosyllable about nine doors off. 



" If we h.ive any tender regard for the dumb ani- 

 mals, who do so much to make life pleasant to us, 

 we would have our children educated to have a still 

 deeper regard and kindness for them." — Governor
