that a woman can paint. Ruskin is not as ob¬ 
serving a man as we took him to be. 
Squalid Beggar: “Pray, sir, have pity on 
a miserable wretch. I have a wife and chil¬ 
dren.” “My poor fellow, accept my heart¬ 
felt sympathy; so have I.” 
A little girl was Dying to tell her mother 
how beautiful a certain lady trilled in singing, 
and said, “O mamma, you ought to hear her 
gargle I She does it so sweetly.’’ 
Mamma —“And now, Bertie, you have chat¬ 
tered enough. Shut your eyes, hold your 
tongue and go to sleep.” Bertie—“How can 
I do three things at once, mamma?” 
Vert red-haired passenger: “I say, guard, 
why on earth don’t the train go on'?’’ Guard: 
“Good gracious, sir! put your head in; how 
can you expect it to go while that danger sig¬ 
nal is out?” 
Mistress: “I really cannot put up with 
your voracious appetite any longer, James. 
Why, even the beasts of the field know when 
they’ve had enough,but you never do.” James: 
“Please, ’m, you never tried me.” 
An Unknown Present.— “Oh, Harry! 
What a beautiful birthday present 1 I am 
glad to know that you didn't forget me. Pure 
gold, isn’t it?” Harry (her betrothed)—“Yes, 
darling.” “And the case is jast superb. It 
isn’t a charm nor an ear ring, for you would 
h ive bought me a pair. I never saw anything 
like it, What is it.Harry ?” “It is a thimble.”
