Sense and Nonsense, but Mostly 
Nonsense. 
It’s li<*pe that keeps us up, 
It’s hope that keeps our memories green. 
It s hope that makes our lives sublime, 
it’s soap that keeps us clean. 
A poet has said: '‘Smile when you can.” 
The men who stand aoout in bar-rooms, 
waiting for angels, live up to that. 
A young man whose girl lives some dis. 
tance from the Harlem River, says his Sun¬ 
day night walk includes “two miles arid 
one lap.” 
Judge: “Have you anything to offer to 
the court before sentence is passed on you?” 
Prisonor: “No, Judge; I had ten dollars, 
but my lawyers took that.” 
Uncue Jumbo was caught with a stolen 
chicken hid in his hat, and when asked 
how it came there, he replied: “Fore de 
Lord, boss, that fowl must have crawled 
up my breeches leg.” 
A man who was following his wife’s 
hearse, and was somewhat corpulent, called 
out to the coachman, "Drive a little slower 
Johnny, you need not be in such a hurry. 
Why should we make a toil of a pleasure?” 
“You have considerable floating popu¬ 
lation in this village, haven’t you?” asked a 
stranger of one of the citizens of a village 
on the Mississipi. “Well, yes, rather,” 
was the reply; about half the year the wa¬ 
ter is up to the second story windows.” 
“Who is he ?” said a passer-by to a po¬ 
liceman, who was endeavoring to raise an 
intoxicated individual who had fallen into 
a gutter. “Can’t say, sir,” replied the po¬ 
liceman; “he can’t give any account of 
himself.” “Of course not,” replied the 
other, “how are you to expect an account 
from a man who has lost his balance ?” 
They were talking about the weight of 
different individuals in a certain family, 
and the daughter’s young man, who was 
present, spoke up before he thought, and 
said: “I tell you that Jenny ain’t so very 
light either, although she looks so.” And 
then he looked suddenly conscious and 
blushed, and Jenny became absorbed in 
studying a chromo on the wall.
