THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
September 22 
Humorous. 
Onr doctor wrote a prescription. 
And Kaye It to Biddle one day; 
“Take It at once In some water,” 
Ue cried as be hurried away. 
So Biddle swallowed the paper, 
And after a space truly brief. 
Declared with simple conviction 
It granted her Instant relief.—I>('e 
A FI.Y sees just as well when he leaves 
his specs behind him.— Press. 
Hk: “My income is small, and it is 
cruel of me to take you from your fath¬ 
er’s roof.” She (anxiously): “I dont 
live on the roof .”—Christian Register. 
She: “I don’t believe you love me as 
much as you did before we were married.” 
He: “Just as much as I ever did; per¬ 
haps not so much as I said I did.”— Sun. 
American Girl, : “Oh, yes. My home 
was in California, but I went to school 
in Boston.” Interested Foreigner, “Ach! 
So 1 Did you go home at night ?”— Life. 
He (desperately): “You are the only 
woman I ever loved.” She: “That may 
be true; but if it is, I am certainly not 
the only woman you have ever lied to.”— 
Credit Lost. 
“ Wot’s dat wed flower ober dere ? ” 
asked Jennie. “That’s a poppy,” said 
Jack. “Is de white one a mommie?” 
asked Jennie, pointing to a daisy.— Har- 
ver's Bazar. 
She : “ How is it that this letter came 
through in so short a time ? Passenger , 
trains don’t come so quickly.” He: “The j 
mail train makes better time than the i 
regular passenger trains.” She: “ Is j 
that so ? When I go, I shall travel with , 
the mail.” He: “Most women prefer 
to go with a male.” 
Little Johnny: “Tell us a story, 
uncle.” Uncle Wayback (from the West): 
“ All right, children. You want a true 
story, I s’pose ? ” Little Johnny: “No, 
tell us one of those fairy stories about 
cyclones and grasshoppers, and things 
that you were telling the company last 
evening .”—Oood News. 
Book Agent : “ I’d like to show you 
this ‘Encyclopedia of Universal Knowl¬ 
edge.’ It contains all the information a 
man needs in this life.” Business Man 
(wearily): “ I’ll take it if it will tell me 
how to get rid of you. ” Book Agent (en¬ 
thusiastically): “You’ll take it then! 
It gives that information on the very 
flrst page ; see : ‘ Every man, woman 
and child should buy this book. ’ ”— Puck. 
Wanting to Get Even.—M r. Citiman: 
“ Well, Uncle Jehiel, we have enjoyed 
our visit to you exceedingly. I’m sure 
the children never had a better time in 
their lives. I want you to call on us 
next winter, to let me repay your kind¬ 
ness.” Uncle Jehiel: “ Wal, I don’t 
know as me or the old woman kin git up 
to see you, but, if we don’t. I’ll send 
five or six of the mule colts. I ’low
