“Is that mule tame?” asked a farmer of an 
American dealer in domestic quadrupeds. 
“He’s tame enough in front,” answered the 
dealer. 
We see an article in the papers about boy 
inventors. We hope they will invent a boy 
who won’t whistle through his fingers and yell 
on the streets at night.—Cincinnati Saturday 
Night. 
“ Papa, they don’t have any stone in 
Ireland; do they?” asked a little boy the 
other day. “Yes, my boy; but why do you 
ask such a question ? ’ Because I thought it 
was all sham-rock over there.” 
It takes a country schoolmaster for shrewd¬ 
ness. When the weather is cold and the school 
house imperfectly healed he puts the head of 
the class nearest the stove, and then all the 
scholars work like blazes to rank high in their 
studies. 
A gentleman once remarked to a witty lady 
of his acquaintance that he must have bsen 
born with a silver spoon in his mouth. She 
looked at him carefully, and, noting the size of 
his mouth, replied, “ I don’t doubt it ; but it 
must have been a soup-ladle.” 
It is mighty embarrassir g to a man who has 
some religious friends staying with him, to 
have his dog, which has been very quiet during 
week days, begin right after breakfast Sunday 
to run to the gun ia the corner and turn to his 
master and wag his tail, and then run back to 
the gun again. 
A lady with a fatal squint came once to a 
fashionable artist for her portrait. He looked 
at her, and she looked at him, aud both were 
embarrassed. He spoke first. “ Would your 
ladyship permit me,” he 6aid, “to take the 
profile ? There is a certain Bhyness about your 
ladyship’s eyes, which is as difficult in art as 
it is fascinating in nature.

The undersigned keeps a supply of Early Amber 
aud Early Orange cane seed, the produot of different 
latitudes; hence adapted to various climates. The 
Orange is especially roommended for sugar making 
and for districts subject to hot sun in July and Au¬ 
gust. It has received the indorsement of the Missis¬ 
sippi Valley Caue Growers' Association at its late 
meeting. 
Prices of seed at St. Louis; Early Amber, by mail, 3 
pounds, $1; by express or freight per pound, 15c.; 
large lots, 10c. Uaujil discounts to the trade. 
Early orange, by mail, 2)£ pounds, $1: by express or 
freight, per pound 20e.; large lots, 15c. 
Kansas Orange, for northern culture, prices same as 
Early Orange. 
No orders tilled for less than $L Remit by draft 
money order or registered letter. 
Caution must be taken in selecting Orange seed, as 
when cleaned, none but an expert can detect it from 
some other variety, and the desire to speculate may 
induce some to mislead by selling other seed as Or¬ 
ange. It was for this reason that I had placed this 
seed in reliable hands last season for cultivation, in 
order to secure reliably pure seed for mv trade.
