THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
November 9, 1895 
Humorous. 
—’Tie wrong for any maid to be 
Abroad at night alone; 
A chaperon she needs till she 
Can call some chap ’er own 
—Philadelphia Record 
Jack Frost is killing the plants, but 
there are other bloomers which seem to 
defy him .—Philadelphia Record. 
There is a difference between a cold 
and the grip, but you will not realize 
it until you receive the doctor’s bill.— 
Truth. 
“ How did Grassgrow do with his book 
on ‘Success on Farming?’” “Splen¬ 
didly. The book paid for all he lost on 
the farm.”— Judge. 
Lady (to new governess): “I hope 
that you will treat my children loving¬ 
ly—of course with the exception of my 
18-year-old son !”— Flmjende Blaetter. 
“ Wiiat makes a rooster crow, Hilly ? ” 
“He’s got ter giv’ way ter his feelin’s. 
He can’t help hisself! ” “ Hut when the 
hen lays a egg he makes the most noise.” 
“Ah ! that’s pride.”— Life. 
“The trouble with this tooth,” said 
the dentist, probing it with a long, 
slender instrument, “is that the nerve 
is dying.” “ It seems to me, doctor,” 
groaned the victim, “ you ought to treat 
the dying with a little more respect.”— 
Chicago Tribune. 
Somewhat Puzzling. —Hobby : “Why 
can a man run faster than a boy ? ” Pa : 
“ Hecause he is bigger, of course.” 
Hobby (after pondering for a moment): 
“Well, Pa, then why don’t the hind 
wheels of a wagon run faster than the 
front wheels ? ”—Credit Lost. 
Farmer Hardacre : “ Oh, dangnation, 
take it all! Fate is always agin’ the 
farmer.” Mr. Citiman : “What is the 
matter, Mr. Hardacre ? ” Farmer Hard¬ 
acre : “Why, golsquanch the luck ! I’ve 
got a bustin’ big crop of oats for the first 
time in four jmars, an’, dum it, there’s 
nuthin’ to feed ’em to any more but 
bicycles and trolley cars!”— Harper's 
Bazar. 
A clergyman in England, pleading 
earnestly with his parishioners for the 
construction of a cemetery for their 
parish, asked them to consider the “ de¬ 
plorable condition of thirty thousand 
Englishmen living without Christian 
buriai.” Still more curious was another 
clerical slip. A gentleman said to a 
minister: “ When do you expect to see 
Deacon S. again ? ” “ Never ! ” said the 
reverend gentleman, solemnly ; “ the 
Deacon is in Heaven.” — Presbyterian 
Observer.
