THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
jfjmuonms. 
Don’t show my letters,” wrote a young man 
to a young lady he adored. “Dont be afraid,’’ 
was the reply, “ I’m just as much ashamed of 
them as you are.” 
Pet Names.— He: “ May I call yon Revenge?’’ 
—She: “ Why F’—He ; “Because ‘revenge is 
swoet' ’’—She: “ Certainly you may; provided, 
though, you will let me call you Vengeance.” 
—He: “And why would you call me Ven¬ 
geance?'’—She: “Because ‘vengeance is 
mine.” ’ And she became his in a few months 
after. 
When an Austin schoolmaster entered his 
temple of learning one morning, he read on 
the blackboard the touching legend: “Our 
teacher is a donkey.” The pupils expected 
there would bo a combined cyclone and earth¬ 
quake, but the philosophic pedagogue con¬ 
tented himself with adding the word “driver” 
to the legend, and opened the school with 
prayer as usual. 
A Diplomatic Answer.— Lady Godiva; 
“ But surety, doctor, you don’t approve of 
those horrid {esthetic fashions in women’s 
dress?”—The Doctor: “My dear madam, so 
long as a woman is beautiful, she may wear 
whatever she likes, for me; and if she isn’t, 
what does it matter what she wears?” (Lady 
G. thinks the doctor a most delightful person, 
and quite agrees with him!) 
It is much easier to be polite and neighborly 
than to fly into a passion when things do not 
suit you. Take this note, for instance, ad¬ 
dressed by a lady to her neighbor next door,- 
“Dear Madam, your children, who are numer¬ 
ous and appear to be disorderly, no doubt 
deserve the frequent floggings you give them: 
but as my nerves are weak, I write this to ask 
if you can’t do something to deaden the 
sound.” 
A gentleman in a Paris theatre had his 
view of the stage entirely obstructed by a 
huge hat worn by a lady in front of him He 
politely requested her to remove her head¬ 
covering. She refused. Nothing daunted, 
he presently took his hat from under the seat 
and put it on, when, with a degree of vocifer. 
ousness only to be heard in a French theater, 
there were shouts all around him of “ The hat I 
the hat!—off with the hat!” Swiftly reinov 
ing it, he again addressed the lady, saying, 
“ You see, madam, it is not I alone who com¬ 
plain, for every one is objecting to it now.” 
The ruse succeeded, and the offensive hat was 
removed.

Humbngurd Ajraln. 
I saw so much said about the merits of Hop 
Bitters, and my wife who was always doctor¬ 
ing, and never well, teased me so urgently to 
get her some, I concluded to be humbugged 
again; and I am glad I did, for in less than 
two mouths’use of the Bitters, my wife was 
cured, and she has remained so for eighteen 
months since. I like such humbugging.—H. 
T., St. Paul— Pioneer Press. 
Kalamazoo, Mich., Feb 2,1880. 
I know Hop Bitters will bear recommenda¬ 
tion honestly. All who use them oonftr up¬ 
on them the highest encomiums, and give them 
credit for making cures—all the proprietors 
claim for them. I have kept them since 
they were first offered to the public. They 
took high rank from the first, and maintained 
it, and are more called for than all others 
combined. So long as they keep up their 
high reputation for purity and usefulness, I 
shall continue to recommend them—some¬ 
thing I have never before done with any other 
patent medicine. J. J. Babcock, M. D.
