cient to break a 0080 ,” 
Johnnie “I ditnno about that: I’ve blowed 
my nose moro'n a hundred times, and it ain’t 
broke yot.” 
A PaiSLEY bailie, in speaking of one of bis 
coadjutors In office, whom he thought a little 
"cracked," said, " If they don’t keep the razors 
frac Mint man, lie’ll commit suicide on himscl’ 
or some idler person.” 
“ Bredoet, I wish you would step over and 
SOC how old Mrs. Jones is this morning." Bridget

that Mrs. Jones was seventy-two years, ten 
months and eight days old. 
To the lather: Daughter "Well, to tell the 
truth, 1 dbl not think much of the close of the 
sermon.” 
Father—“Probably you were thinking more 
ol the clothes of the congregation.” 
Two friends some years married and widely 
separated, lately exchanged telegrams, thus: 
“ To —. All well. We have two pairs of twins. 
How is tint for high?” "To ——. We have

pairs!” 
Tiie Waterburv American says:-It has al¬ 
ways been a mystery to us where all the Smiths 
came from; but while visiLing In a neighboring 
city the matter was satisfactorily explained by 
the appearance of a large sign over (lie door of 
a factory, with the announcement that this was 
the “Smith Manufacturing Company,” 
A French nobleman, who had been satirized 
by Voltaire,meeiing the poet soon after, gave 
him a beirty drubbing. ’J im poet immediately 
tlew to the Duke of Orleans, told him how ho 
laid been used, and begged be would do him jus¬ 
tice. “Sir.” replied the Duke, with a significant 
smile, "it ims been done you already.” 
A SBarp student was called up by tbo worthy 
Professor of a colabrated college, and asked the 
question, " Can a man see without eyes?" “Yes, 
sir," was the prompt reply, “flow, sir," cried 
the astonished professor, "can a man see with¬ 
out eyes? Pray, sir, bow do you make that wit?” 
“Hocan s<? ( ' with om.*, sir." replied the ready- 
witted youth; and ttio whole class shouted with 
delight at the triumph over metaphysics. 
Mindful or the traditional relationship of dog 
t o sausage, a waggish rhymer pens the following 
"ode” to Ills favorite puppy: 
Oh. ttie pup, the beautiful pup! 
Drinking his milk rrmo a china cup. 
Gamboling round so frisky and free, 
First gnawing a bone, then biting a flea : 
Running, 
After the pony: 
Beautiful pup, you will soon be Bologna.”

DOANE, WING, CUSHING & SMITH, 
A wretch, who spurned tiie virtuous path below 
To heaven above by other moans would go. 
He, by mechanic arts, a ladder raised, 
Whose bight the vulgar and t he learned amazed. 
“Thus Jacob did," he said, “and why not I 
Reach heaven as well as lie, at least I’ll try.” 
He mounts the ladder, rapidly ascends, 
And bids adieu to nil terrestrial friends; 
Now wrapped in clouds, unseen by human eye, 
And now environed in the azure sky; 
But now u bill), red hot, In* lets full down, 
Which fires n cannon at his base, whose sound 
Ascends liis ear In thrice the length of time 
The ball was lulling from the hight sublime. 
Yc sages tell, if be to heaven has got? 
Or, how far soaring from this earthly spot?

WRONG ANSWER TO PROBLEM

GREAT SAVING TO CONSUMERS 
I itavb received several letters similar to the 
one I inclose you, in regard to Problem No. 15, 
published In the Rubai. Nrw-Yorkeii of June 
18,1870. What sense Is thorn In its published an¬ 
swer, 27.9-40 acres. It is, undoubtedly, the an¬ 
swer to some oilier problem, while tbo true an¬ 
swer is given as the answer to some other one. 
Thus two problems bear wrong answers. It 
seems to me that such mistakes should be recti¬ 
fied. The answer I sent you to Problem No. 15 
was:
