THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
September 29 
Humorous. ' 
Tommy : “ Pa, what’s tna crying for ?” 
Father: “She can’t find htr teeth.” 
Tommy: “Is that the reason the baby 
cries so much ? ”— Life 
She: “Bixby appears to be quite a 
bright young man. I hr ar he acquired 
enough money by writing to pay for his 
education at college.” He: “Yes—writ¬ 
ing home to his parents .”—Arkansaw 
Traveler. 
Tommy: “Yes, cats can see in the 
dark, and so can Ethel, ’cause when Mr. 
Wright walked into the parlor when she 
was sittin’ all alone in the dark, I heard 
her say to him, ‘ Why, Arthur, you 
didn’t get shaved to-day.’ ”— Life. 
“ Heak how the trees in the orchard 
moan,” exclaimed the romantic miss. 
“ I guess you would moan too, if you 
were as full of green apples,” replied 
the matter-of-fact youth. And the air 
grew a-chill .—Philadelphia Record. 
A STUDENT at a medical college was 
under examination, and the instractor 
asked him i “ Of what cause, specific¬ 
ally, did the people die who lost their 
lives at the destruction of Herculaneum 
Pompeii?” “I think they died of an 
eruption, sir,” answered the student.— 
Argonaut. 
“ Michaed, you lazy devil, why don’t 
you work ?” was asked by a priest. 
“ Well, your riverence, it is a matter of 
economy. When I work I get such a 
terrible thirst that it costs more to get 
rid of it than I can earn, and take all in 
all, it’s cheaper not to go near any work!” 
A GOOD old Scotch lady had a nephew 
in the ministry, whose preaching 
she or any one else did not care much 
about. Her question to him one day 
was, “ How came you to think of taking 
up church work?” “I heard the Lord 
calling me,” was his answer. “ Donald, 
are ye nae sure that it was ither noise 
ye heard ? ” 
What He Wa-nted.— The man who had 
a little piece of lawn in front of his house 
about as big as a greenback, and who 
took care of it as if it were a baby, was 
pottering around it, the other morning, 
with a pair of scissors and a razor, when 
a neighbor came by and hung his chin 
over the fence. “ Why don’t you have a 
lawn-mower?” he asked, after contem- 
p'ating the scene a minute or two. “I 
don’t want a lawn-mower,” replied the 
landscape gardener; “what I want is 
more lawn,” and the neighbor hurried 
away before the house should fall upon 
him and crush him still more .—Detroit 
Free Press.
