THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
September 9 
Ik all the reduction of pay now going 
on the wages of sin remain the same.— 
Piltsburj Chronicle. 
Litti.e Clarence : “ I’a, if a man from 
Portugal is a Portuguese, is his little 
boy a Portugosling ? ”— Little Peddlington 
Oheewitz. 
Mamma : “ My darling, have you been 
a good girl this summer ? ” Daughter : 
‘ Yes, indeed, dear ; I’ve been a ‘ best 
girl.”— Life. 
“ Who is that dowdy-looking woman 
going through the corridor ? ” “ That is 
a successful fashion writer on one of the 
magazines.”— New York Herald. 
Miss Antique: “ How mean these news¬ 
papers are ! Here is a column headed 
‘ Proposals,’ and it is all about public 
improvements and such nonsense.”— The 
Cluh. 
There is no use in Americans worrying 
about the future. Should this country 
go to grass we will be able to dispose of 
the hay at from $30 to $50 a ton.— Little 
Rock Gazelle. 
Mickey Flaherty: “There is wan 
thing, begorra, Oi’ll be afther tellin’ ye, 
an’ that is, no wan in the wide wurruld 
can accuse me av concaling the fact that 
Oi’m Oirish ! ”— Life. 
“ Well, Mollie,” said her papa, who is 
a militia colonel, “ did you see me march¬ 
ing up Broadway to-day?” “ Yeth,” 
said Mollie, “and I was real mad, papa. 
They might have let you have a drum to 
play on like those others had.”— Harper's 
Bazar. 
Rupert : “l hope, mamma, that I 
wasn’t impertinent to Mrs. Thatcher to¬ 
day ? ” Mamma: “ Indeed, I hope not, 
Rupert. What did you do ? ” Rupert: 
“ Why, she said I was growing like a 
bean-pole, and I told her bean-jjoles don’t 
grow.”— Harper'8 Young People. 
Proud Father: “Welcome back to 
the old farm, my boy. So you got through 
college all right ? ” Farmer’s Son : “ Yes, 
father.” Proud Father: “Ye know I 
told ye to study up on chemistry and 
things so you’d know best what to do 
with diff rent kinds of lands. What do 
you think of that flat medder there, for 
instance ? ” Farmer’s Son (joyfullv) : 
“ Cracky, what a place for a ball game ! ” 
Vermont Watchman.
