The paragrapherstell of a countryman who, 
on seeing the yacht Psyche, exciaimed: 
1 ‘P-s-y-c-h-e! Gosh! What a way to spell fish!” 
The teacher wanted to give his class the 
benefit of what he knew about the inevitable 
circle; but before doing so he asked. “ What 
can’t be squared f” No answers for a few sec¬ 
onds, when a treble voice piped out, “The ac¬ 
count old Jim Clark owes father.” 
The old lady came down to breakfast in a 
bad humor, and sharply addressing her son, 
sail:—“Charlie, did you leave that whisky 
bottle on the parlor table?” “No; I guess dad 
left it.” “Why do you guess your father left 
it?” “’Cause it’s empty!” 
At the recent examination of a bankrupt, it 
was observed that be kept a great number of 
banking accounts. “I see,” said the learned 
judge, “that you have had six or seven bank¬ 
ers—what could you want so many for?” “To 
overdraw them,to be sure,” was the f rauk reply. 
A Parisian author has translated Shakes¬ 
peare’s line, “Out I brief caudle,” into French 
thus; * ‘Get out, you short candle!” That isn’t 
as bad as the translation of an exclamation of 
Milton’s by a Frenchman, who rendered “Hail! 
horrors, hail,” thus: “How d'ye do, horrors, 
how d’ye do?”

A countryman for want of gold. 
His calf to town takes to be sold, 
to adopt It as a family necessity. 
Sold by all Druggists.

A Voice from tl»e Press. 
I take this opportunity to bear testimony to the 
efficacy of your "HopBitters.” Expecting to And them 
nauseous and bitter and composed of bad whiskey, we 
were agreeably surprised at their mild taste, Just like 
a cup cl tea. A Mrs. Crosswell and n Mrs. Connor, 
friends, have likewise tried, and pronounce them the 
best medicine they have ever taken for building up 
strength nnd toning up the gystem. I was troubled 
with cosrlvcnosH, headache and want of nppeiite. My 
ailments are now all gone. I have a yearly contract 
with a doctor to look after the Uealth of myself and 
family, but I need him not now. S. GILLILAND.
