ONE-EIGHTH OR ONE-TWELFTH. 
Because he had not studied vulgar fractions, 
he suffered in the way thus described : 
A Dutchman rented his lands to an oil com¬ 
pany last spring, on condition of receiving one- 
eighth of the oil procured. The well proved to 
ho a good one, and the farmer began to think 
that the oil men should give him a better chance, 
and ventured to tell them so, They asked him 
what he wanted. He said they ought to give 
him Oho-twelfth. The agreement was finally 
made, with the understanding that the Dutch¬ 
man was not to tell any one. 
All went smooth until the next division day 
came, when our friend was early at hand to see 
how much better he would be off under the new 
bargain. Eleven barrels were rolled to one side 
for the oil mon and one for him. This did not 
suit him. “ How’s dish says he; “I think I 
vas to get more as before. By jings, you make 
mistake.” 
The matter was explained to him, that lie 
formerly got one barrel of every eight, but it 
was bis own proposition to only take one of every 
twelve. This revelation took lilm aback. He 
scratched liis head, looked cross, and relieved his 
swelling breast of feelings of self-reproach by 
indignantly remarking— 
“ Well, by dunder, dat iali de first time as ever 
I know's eight was more as dwelve.”

Ike has bad his hair shingled, and now Mrs. 
Partington calls him her “docked lamb.” 
Chasing a neighbor’s pig around a lot for an 
hour, with the vain hope that he will go out at 
the samo hole in the fence he came in through, is 
now called a “ Grand field-trial.” 
A ceekovman seeing a young man standing in 
the doorway of tho chui’oh and looking hesitat¬ 
ingly about him, paused in the midst of his ser¬ 
mon and exclaimed: “Go out, young man. She 
is not hero!”
