Thky were expecting the minister to din¬ 
ner. “Is everything all ready, my dear?’’ 
asked the head of the house. “Yes, be can 
come now as soon as he likes.” “Have 
you dusted the family Bible?” “Goodness 
gracious! I forgot that!” 
Bmall girl:—“Aren't you awfully glad to 
be on land sometimes?” Uncle—“Why, what 
do you mean? I flatter myself I am on land 
most of the time,” Small girl—“You are? 
Why, papa says that whenever be sees you, 
you are about half-seas over.” 
In speaking of the girl to whom he was en¬ 
gaged he referred to her as his “finuuee.” 
“You mean your fiance, I guess. It is pro¬ 
nounced fee-ong-say,” said his friend. “I 
don’t care how it is pronounced; this girl is 
my iinance. Shft is worth $30,000.” 
Not worth a division: Little Dick had two 
apples given him. “You ought to let your 
little sister have one of these,” suggested his 
mother. “Where is she?" “8be is asleep.” 
“Noh. I guess I’ll eat ’em bo’f myself. What 
good‘11 a napple do her if she’s asleep?” 
It is said that only a few years before her 
death Miss Catharine Beecher received an 
offer of marriage from a most estimable man. 
In reply to his letter Miss Beecher sent the 
following answer: “Dear M—, I was born in 
the year 1*00. Yours respectfnlly ” (Signed.)
