GOOD-NATURED PARAGRAPHS. 
The Logic of Grammar. 
Harper’s Magazine saysNothing like 
grammar! Better go without a cow than 
go without that. There are numberless 
“ professors” who go “ tramp, tramp, tramp, 
my boys!” around the country, peddling a 
weak article, by which “in twenty days” 
they guarantee to set a nu n thoroughly up 
in the English language. An instance in 
point comes from Greenviile, Alabama, 
where a “professor” had labored with the 
youth of that people, and taught them to 
dote on grammar according to “Morris’” 
system. During one of the lectures the 
sentence, “ Mary milks the cow,” was given 
out to be parsed. Each word had been 
parsed save one, which fell to Bob L-, 
a sixteen-year-old, near the foot of the class, 
who commenced thus: 
“ Cow is a noun, feminine gender, singular 
number, third person, and stands far Mary.” 
“ Stands for Mary!” said the excited pro¬ 
fessor; “ how do you make that out?” 
“ Because,” answered the noble pupil, “ if 
the cow didn’t stand for Mary, how could 
Mary milk her ?” 
Not ho ltntl an nn Adonis, 
It is no sin not to be well up in the clas¬ 
sics. ’Liakiin Dutton was not. But lie 
loved the American fair. In fact he loved 
two of them. Those two felt emotions of 
love toward ’Liakim. And they quarreled 
about him like two Kilkenny pussies. Con¬ 
sequence was, all three were brought into 
court. ’Liakim being the cause of the 
struggle, was thus addressed by his Honor: 
“ And so those women were fighting 
about, you V” 
“ I believe so, sir.” 
“ You are a sort of Adonis, then ?” 
“Sir?" inquired ’Liakim, his eyes pro¬ 
truding, and a shade of pallor creeping into 
his face. 
“ You are an Adonis,” the court repeated. 
“ Oil no, sir—never ns had as that ; but 
I've been in the penitentiary for stealing horses .” 
Touching Sympathy, 
Said a “killing" young man:—" That 
charming woman and myself are in sympa¬ 
thy with each other.” “IIow so, my dear 
fellyw?” “Well, I hate her husband,and 
she liat.es him too.”
