THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER. 
July  9 
From  the  Hub. — Boston  mamma  : 
“Who  dwelt  in  the  garden  of  Eden?’ 
Freddie:  “Oh,  I  know,  the  Adamses!” 
— Texas  Siftings. 
First  Rounder  :  “  Why  don’t  you  rise 
earlier,  old  man  ?”  Second  Rounder : 
“  Well,  principally  because  I  am  afraid  I 
would  meet  myself  going  to  bed.” — New 
York  Tribune. 
C  alu  ah  an  :  “  What  kind  of  a  place  is 
New  York,  Phelim  ?”  Pbelim  O’Queer  : 
“  Faith,  it’s  a  great  city,  but  it’s  no  place 
for  a  poor  man  unless  he  has  plenty  of 
money.” — Yankee  Blade. 
Little  Boy  (with  swollen  face)  :  “  Oh, 
dear !  I  wish  I  was  grandpa  or  else  the 
baby.”  Mother  :  “  Why  ?”  Little  Boy  : 
“  Grandpa’s  teeth  is  all  gone,  and  baby’s 
hasn’t  come  yet.” — Good  News. 
Youngster:  “  I  say,  grandma,  can  you 
bite  hard?”  Granny:  “No,  my  boy,  I 
have  lost  nearly  all  my  teeth.”  Young¬ 
ster:  “  Indeed  !  Then  please  save  these 
nuts  for  me,  will  you  ?” — Hinkender  Bote. 
“  Look  here,  George,  1  am  positively 
tired  of  your  talking  love  to  me  in  this 
way  every  time  you  call.”  “Marry  me 
and  then  I’ll  never  speak  another  word 
of  love  to  you  as  long  as  I  live.” — New 
York  Press. 
“  You  astonish  me,  madam  !  I  never 
should  have  suspected  you  of  being  a 
smoker  of  cigarettes!”  “I  never  touch 
them,  doctor.”  “  Why,  I  understood  you 
a  moment  ago  to  say  you  were  a  victim 
of  the  cigarette  habit.”  “  1  am  My  hus¬ 
band  smokes  them.” — Chicago  News. 
He  Protests. — Burglar  (flashing  his 
dark-lantern  in  the  face  of  the  sleeper)  : 
“  If  you  make  a  noise  you're  a  dead  man  ! 
1  want  your  money,  and  I  want  it  quick  ! 
Where  is  it  ?”  Mr.  Billus  (only  half 
awake):  “Why,  Great  Scott,  Maria! 
What  have  you  done  with  the  $25  I  gave 
you  yesterday  ?” — Chicago  Tribune. 
A  Poor  Performance. — Young  Hope¬ 
ful  :  “  Mamma,  did  you  tell  papa  I’d  got 
to  have  a  bicycle  ?”  Mamma:  “  Yes,  but 
he  said  he  couldn’t  afford  it.”  “  ’Course 
he’d  say  that  :  but  what  did  you  do  ?” 
“  I  argued  in  favor  of  it,  but  he  refused.’’ 
“  Argued  !  Huh  !  If  it  ud  been  anything 
you  wanted  for  your  own  self,  you’d 
cried  a  little,  an’  then  you’d  got  it.” — 
Street  &  Smith's  Good  News.

PERFECTION 
The  Bay  State  Hammock,  “  Perfection,”  lias  a  woven  body,  and  is  the  hand¬ 
somest  and  most  durable  of  any  that  we  have  examined.  It  does  not  pull  the

and  keep  the  body  cool.  There  is  a  curved  spreader  at  one  end.  We  offer  the  No. 
4,  which  is  11  feet  long ;  body  six  feet ;  and  36  inches  wide  :  will  safely  hold  a  man 
of  300  pounds’  weight.  Price,  by  express,  $t.00.  With  a  subscription  to  The  R'  N.- 
Y.  from  receipt  to  January,  1893,  for  only  $1.50.  Given  as  a  premium  for  three
