Time is always represented carrying a 
scythe,.and we suppose he will continue to 
carry this primitive agricultural implement 
until time shall be no mower. 
“Oh, ma, I have heard such a splendid 
minister. He stamped and pounded and got 
mad and shook bis fist at folks, and there 
wasn’t anybody dared go up and fight him.” 
A man out West, who was afraid his rela¬ 
tions would not ouy him such a coffin as he 
wanted to be buried in, purchased the article 
himself. It is in his barn and he keeps beans 
in it. 
More than half a century ago a good New 
Hampshire deacon, by the name of Day, liv¬ 
ing not far from the White Mountains, had 
seven children—six daughters and one son. 
They were known as his six week Days and 
one son Day. 
Nothing makes a man prouder than to find 
when he has got his garden nicely laid out 
and the seeds all in, that every hen within a 
mile of him seems determined to have a claw 
in the job ana to show him how she would 
have arranged matters if he had consulted 
her. 
Bubby stubbed his toe and came crying to 
his mother. “There, there, Bubby," she said, 
after she had ascertained that the injury was 
trifling, “you are too big a boy to cry over a 
little thing like that.” “B-but what a-am I 
to do, mamma?” he asked, 6obbingly, “I ain’t 
b-big enough to s-swear.” 
The celebrated Signora Howlinski was in 
the middle of her solo in the Houston Opera 
House, when little Johnny Fizzletop, refer¬ 
ring to the director of the orchestra, asked: 
“Why does that man hit at the woman with 
his stick?” “He is not hitting at her; keep 
quiet.” “Well, then, what does she holler so 
for?” 
A Scotch farmer determined, in spite of 
the bad times, to pay his rent if it were his 
last shilling, and saying to the landlord who 
received it, “It is my last shilling,” he threw 
down a roll of notes. The landlord counted 
them and said: “There are £‘50 too much.” 
“Odds, man,” said the farmer, “I put my 
hand in the wrong pouch.” 
Little Rudolph one day begged an invita¬ 
tion to dinner at the bouse of a little friend 
with whom he had been playing during the 
morning. At the table bis hostess anxiously 
inquired, “Rudolph, can you cut your own 
meat?” “Humph!” said Rudolph, who was 
sawing away, “can’t If I’ve cut up a great 
deal tougher meat than this at home.”
