THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
In hard times , all prosperous journals 
should he 'willing to share their prosperity 
with those of their subscribers who are less 
prosperous. This year is thus far an excep¬

the Rural would suffer without their wonted 
support. We therefore offer them for every 
new subscriber , sent to us before March 15, 
a Webster's Dictionary or World's Cyclope¬ 
dia, either of wh ich is really worth on e dollar.

The moon is full all night and even the 
bright little stars wickedly sin til-late. 
A barrister once quoted Shakespeare’s 
well-known, line, ‘‘A deed without a name.■’ 
The judge interposed: “Void, on the face of it.” 
“Whistlers are always good-natured," says 
a philosopher. Everyone knew that. It’s the 
folks that have to listen to the whistling that 
get ugly. 
Little Jim: “Ah, hal I’ve heard some- 
thing awful bad about your pop.” Little Jack: 
“Who cares fur you? What did ye hear,any¬ 
how?” “I heard your pop got sent to jail.” 
“Pooh! Guess you forgot what they doue to 
your pop last year.” “What?” “Your pop got 
sent to the Legislature.” 
Mamma: “Well, pet, how do you like your 
new teacher?” Pet: “I don’t like her at all!” 
“You don’t? Why?” “She is so impolite.” 
‘ ‘Impolite? Why, what did she do?” “She asked 
me all sorts of ’pert’nent- questions about the 
lesson that 1 could not answer at alh” 
In a Sunday school the teacher had been 
explaining the text, “Let your loins be 
girded.” Wishing to see if they under¬ 
stood the explanation, he said to a boy, 
“ Well, tell me how and w hy we are com¬ 
manded to gird up our loins?” “To keep 
up our breeches, sir,” replied the youth.
