And lo, the maddening horrors rush 
Athwart our souls at the soapy gusli 
Of the slippery, slimy scrubbing brush.' 
From early morn till evening gloom 
Wo hear the scratching in hall and room 
Of the boisterous, buBily-hobbing broom. 
And now there cometh a woesome wail— 
That augurs a geu’rally gusty gale— 
From a man with bis leg in the scrubbing pail."

A Florida negro mistook a mule for a ghost 
and poked it with a Htick. The verdict recited 
that ho came to hia death by using too short a

of a future existence. 
Do you believe in the use of the rod, my dear

making life a burden to all the guests in the

others,” glancing at her gambolling darlings.

“Where was Bishop Latimer burned to death?” 
asked a teacher, in a commanding voice. “Joshua 
knows," said a little girl at the bottom of the 
class. “Well," said the teacher, “if Joshua 
knows, he may toll," “ In tho fire,” replied 
Joshua, looking very grave and wise.

The early strawberry, at a dollar a quart, 
puts on aristocratic airs and looks with scorn 
and contempt upon hungry humanity. By July 
he will got down from his lofty eminence and 
hide himself between the strata of a fiftoen- 
cent salaratus short-cake, and howl for a cus¬ 
tomer. 
An old, rough clergyman once took for his 
text that passage of the Psalm, “ I said in my 
haste, all men are liars.” Looking, apparently, 
as if he saw the Psalmist standing before him. 
he ssrid: “You said it in yonr haste,David. If yon 
had been here, yon might have said it after 
mature deliberation.” 
Au exchange says that a new way of fasten¬ 
ing on ladies’ hats is to bore the tops of their 
oars, put in gold hoops and have the hat strings 
tied through them. Thus, stop by step, we 
tread the pathway to perfectiou, and ere the 
darkness of death envelops all the world man 
will have utilized his nose in holding up his 
pants or pulling on his boots.
