Itrldicu SU, MlKhunuko, Ind* 
Humorous. 
He : ’TiB but ft little thing I ftsk; 
A trifle, nothing more, I Bwear. 
'Tls rot ft heavy, gruesome task 
That wrinkles brow or silvers hair; 
’Tls something, dear, that If yon give, 
Yon cannot fairly deem amiss; 
’Tls nothing more than, as I live, 
A little, simple, single kiss. 
She : This little thing yon boldly ask; 
This trifle light, to yon, as air. 
Perhaps to me, doth fears unmask 
That well may cause me to beware. 
For this same simple, single kiss 
Might soon develop Into kisses; 
• And I from having been amiss. 
Become, In consequence, a Mrs.-Bi/e. 
Laura : “ When your father came in 
was Jack on his knees ? ” Clara : “ No ; 
I was.”— Credit Lost. 
Mrs. Chatter: “Do you believe that 
cures can be effected by the layinjf on of 
hands?” Mrs. Clatter: “Most certainly. 
I cured my boy of smoking: in that way.” 
—Brooklyn Life. 
She : “If every atom of the human 
body is renewed every seven years, I 
cannot be the same woman that you 
married.” He : “ I have been suspecting 
that for some time.”— New York Weekly. 
Applicant : “ No ma’am. I couldn’t 
work where there was children.” Mrs. 
Keephouse: “ But we advertised for a 
girl who understood children.” Appli¬ 
cant : “ I do understand ’em, ma’am. 
That’s why I wouldn’t work where they 
are.”— Harper's Bazar. 
Mother : “ That’s Mr, Poorchap in the 
parlor with your sister isn’t it ? ” Small 
Son: “Yes.” “Hum! I wonder what 
that poverty-stricken fellow thinks of 
that 840 bouquet Mr. Richfello sent her?” 
“ Guess he don’t like it much. Sister 
has been holding his hands all the even¬ 
ing so he can’t hurt it.”— Credit Lost. 
Agent: “To every one buying one 
package of ‘Liftem’s Baking Powder,’ 
we present a baking pan.” Mrs. Athome: 
“Baking pan! Why, that thing with a 
screen over it looks more like a bird 
cage!” Agent: “Yes ma’am; but that 
powder makes such light biscuits that 
you must bake them in a cage or they’ll 
float away.”— Puck. 
Lexicography in Brooklyn. —A jour¬ 
nalist is a man who talks about being on 
a newspaper, but is not. A newspaper 
man is one who is on a newspaper and 
makes no fuss about it. A farmer is a 
man who works the soil, and an agri¬ 
culturist is a man who works the farmer, 
while a promoter is a man who works 
everybody.— Brooklyn Eagle. 
“I—I’d like to marry your daughter, 
sir,” the youth confided to the fair one’s 
severe parent. “You—want—to—marry 
r-my—daughter!” he thundered. “Young 
man, will you be good enough to tell me 
what your prospects in life are?” “Well, 
they seemed pretty good when I talked 
with your daughter, but, seeing you. 
I’ve come to the conclusion that I haven’t 
any.”— Washington Star. 
Now does the apple, green and bard. 
Within the small boy lurk; 
And colic plays the winning card 
To give the doctors work.— Phila. Record.
