A banana skin lay on a grocer’s floor. 
"What are you doing there?” asked the scales, 
peeping over the edge of the counter. “Ohl 
I'm lying in wait for the grocer.” "Pshaw!”

A little boy and girl had been cautioned 
never to take the nest-egg when gathering the 
eggs. Put one eveuiug the girl reached the 
nest first, seized an egg and started for the 
house. Her brother followed, crying, “Moth¬ 
er! mother! Susy’s beeu and got the egg the 
old hen measures by!”

would-be buyer to a farmer. “Well,” said the 
farmer, “all I know about it is that his father 
gored a justice of the peace to death, tossed a

lightning-rod man ou his head, aud bis mother 
chased a female lecturer two miles; and if that 
aint breed enough to ask $4 on, you needn’t 
take him.”
