Mbs. Partington says that her minister 
preached about the parody of the probable son. 
Patrick on the zebra—“ Phat kind of a 
baste is that ?—the mule wid his ribs on the 
outside of bis shkin entoirly." 
Don't judge a man by the 6ilk umbrella 
which he carries. He may have just left a 
cotton one in its place.—Yonkers Statesman. 
Why are true lovers’ visits like a successful 
newspaper ? Because they commence weekly, 
then become semi-weekly, then tri-weekly, and 
then daily with Sunday supplement. 
A little GIHL had a penny given her to put 
in the collection box at church. When she 
dropped in the coin she exclaimed, '• That's 
the way the money goes, pop goes the weazel 1” 
An Irishman who was very near-sighted, 
about to fight a duel, insisted that he should 
stand six paces nearer to his antagonist than 
the other did to him, and they were both to 
fire at the same time. 
If a newspaper should contain all the 
things that all its readers want it to print it 
would have to be bigger than a bedstead. If 
it should leave out all Its readers do not wish 
it to read, it would be a blank page. 
A professor asked his class, “ What is the 
aurora?’’ A student, hesitating, replied "'Pro¬ 
fessor. I did kuow, but I have forgotten.” 
“That is sad, very sad,” rejoined the Pro¬ 
fessor. “The only man in the world that 
ever knew has forgotten it.” 
Wretched, Indeed, 
Are those whom a confirmed tendency to bilious¬ 
ness, subjects to the various and changeful symp- i 
toms indicative of liver complaint. Nausea, sick 
headache, constipation, furred tongue, an unpleas¬ 
ant breath, a dull or sharp pain in the neighbor¬ 
hood ot the affected organ, Impurity of the blood 
ana Joss of appetite signalize it as oneof the most 
distressing, na It is oneof ihe most common of 
malKtiiea Theie is, however, a benign specific for 
the disease arid all its unpleasant manifestations. 
It Is urn concurrent testimony of the public and 
the medical profession, that Hostetler's stomach 
Bittern Is a medicine which achieves results speed¬ 
ily felt, thorough anti benign. Besides rectifying 
liver disorder, it Invigorates the feeble, conquers 
kidney and bladder complaints, and hastens the 
convalescence ot those recovering from enfeebling 
diseases. Moreover it is the grand specific for 
fever and ugue.
