THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
JULY <6 
ittmorous. 
A gkntleman in Now Orleans was agreea¬ 
bly surprised to And a pluuip tuikey served 
up for the dinner, and inquired of his servant 
how it was obtained “Why, sir," replied 
Sambo, “ dat turkey ba* been roosting on our 
fence for free n ? |fhls. So dis morning I seized 
him for the rent of de fence. 
“I haven't any money with me to- lay.” 
said Pendleton to Blifkine, who had called to 
eollecL that little bill, •* but I will give you my 
note." "Your note!” said Blifkims; “is it 
good for anything ?” “I should say it was.’' 
replied Pendleton ; “ everybody in the city has 
got it.” Blifkius declined with thanks. He 
would call again. 
They were discussing how to pronounce 
“ oleomargarlue.” Fogg gave the “ g” soft, 
while Jones declared it 6bouid be hard. Said 
he: “ The ' oleo* comes from Latin, aud the 
‘margarine' from early E glish." “You are 
wsong there," said Fogg, who is given to 
levity, " everybody knows It all comes from 
grease.” 
“ Mx brethern,” said a western minister, 
“ the preaching of the gospel to some people 
is like pouring water over a sponge—it soaks 
in and stays. To others it is like the wind 
blowing through a chicken coop. My exper¬ 
ience ot this congregation is, that it contains 
more chicken coops than sponges.—Andrews’ 
Bazar. 
Angbx wife (time, 3, A- m.)— “Is that you, 
Charles?" Jolly husband—" Z vsh me.” An¬ 
gry wife—“ Here have I been etandiDg at the 
head of the stairs these two hours. O, Charles, 
how eau you ?” Jolly husband, bracing up— 
“ Shtandin’ on your head on t’shtairs? Jenny, 
I'm saprised ! How can 1! By Jove, I can’t! 
Two hours, too! ’Stroruary woman!"—Cin¬ 
cinnati Gazette.

A comforting conclusion Is that whtcn leads us 
always to choose the best. Mr. Andrew Ulmer, 
of Bluff ton, Ind., says: I have thoroughly tested
