HE DON’T LIKE ANYTHING 
“ Well, Jim,” said oiig school-boy to another 
as they met at tho noon recess ; “ how do you 
like the new house?” “Like nothing,” con¬ 
temptuously replied the other. “ There s seven 
boys in the block all bigger'n me, and not one I 
can boss; the telegraph-pole before tho door is 
all full of splinters, and it’s worth a fellow's life, 
let alone tho legs of big trousers, to try and 
climb up it; the grocer’s store round the corner 
has got a big dog, and wire-net tings over the 
apples and things, and altogether it's a regular 
old cave of gloom like what Beecher talks about, 
I tell you it ain’t a circumstance to the house we 
left, if it has got the modern improvements, and 
the rent is cheaper, and there's more room. 
That house, Jimmy, was like what I think 
Heaven'll bo like. Bpringtime you could sail for 
blocks and blocks in tho gutters on sections of 
the sidewalk, and every winter there was skat- 
ing-rinkft upon skating-rinks on all tho vacant 
lots round. Not a boy on the street more’n 
seven years old, and every ono of them would 
pay me a marlde, or tho first bite of his apple, 
or some other evidences of wealth, every day in 
the week, for me not to knock off his hat, or 
shoot him with a pea-shooter where his clothes 
were tight. And as for groceries, the Dutchman 
round the corner was too blind to see yon hook 
anything, and, if he did, he was too fat to run 
far. I tell you it was a little heaven on earth. 
People might have some regard for their chil¬ 
dren when they move.” 
THE UNWELCOME VISITOR.

“Why is it, my dear sir,” said Waffles’ land¬ 
lady to him tho other day, ‘‘that you newspa¬ 
permen never get rich?” “1 do not know,” 
was his reply, “except it is that dollars aud 
sense do uot always travel together. 
The strikers’ version of Halleck’s verse runs 
thus: 
Strike—Mil tbe railroad man expires; 
Strike—for your tenders and your (ires;

When a common school teacher in Virginia 
found upon his examination papers the question : 
“ How does a ship at sea find its latitude aud 
longitude ?” ho arose to the question and prompt¬ 
ly wrote: “ It finds its longitude hot and its lat¬ 
itude kold.” 
Up in Rutland, Vt., a man has just had apiece 
of window glass, more than two inches long, 
taken from his leg, where it had been for eigh¬ 
teen years. It may ho truly said that during 
that entire period he has uever been absolutely 
free from pane. 
Tkdk Politeness.— Polite youth : “ Excuse 
me, sir, but you’ve dropped your oigar ash on 
your trousers.” Crusty old Gent: “ Well, sir, 
what then ? You've bad a fusee burning in your 
sleeve for the last quarter of an hour, aud I 
never interfered with you!” 
The following is told of a grave-digger in a 
cathedral town in the North of England: One 
day, while “gathering iu” the remains of an 
aged parishioner, ho observed some women 
weeping by the grave side. Turning around he 
sharply demanded of them, “ What are ye ery- 
iug for ? If ye dinna bring ’em at 80 , wbeu wad 
ye bring ’em ?” 
Jennie has strict ideas about equity in little 
things. When she first heard of tho Saviour’s mir¬ 
acle in feeding the multitude with the few 
loaves and fishes obtaiued from the young lad’s 
basket, bLo was awed into thoughtful and solemn 
amazement. Some time afterward, iu tbe midst 
of a talk about other matters, Hhe suddenly 
paused aud asked with special concern, “Did 
they give back the basket to that boy ?”
