When drinking water from the Lea, 
I gulp down InfURorlre, 
And quarts of raw baeterlae, 
And hideous rotatorlse, 
And wriggling polygastrlcse, 
And slimv rilatomaoete, 
And hard shelled ophryocerlnae, 
And double-barrelled kolpodm, 
Non-lorteated am robin, 
And various unlnutleul®, 
Of middle, high and low degree, 
For nature just beats all creation, 
In multiplied adulteration.

Bob; “Have you sold your humorous article 
to any newspaper yet?” Sam: “I’ve shown it

laughed .—Detroit Free Press.

A four-y'kar-old devotee enjoyed a social 
season of devotion, the other night, in which 
she thanked God for making the violets and 
the dandelions, detailed her naughtiness for 
the season past, stated that she wus taking her 
powders very nicely now, and after sundry 
other prayerful confidences, sprang gleefully 
up from her knees with “How’s that for a 
prayer ?”—Boston Com monwealth. 
Many funny stories have been told of the 
difficulties encountered by Frenchmen in try¬ 
ing to master the English language. Here are 
some new ones: A Frenchman, M. Dubois, 
in conversation with Mr. Brown, an English¬ 
man, says, “I ant going to leave my hotel. I 
paid my bill yesterday, and I said to the land¬ 
lord, 'Do I owe anything else?’ He said, ‘You 
are square.’ ‘What am I? 1 He said again. 
‘You arc square.’ ‘That’s strange, 1 said I, ‘I 
lived so long I never knew' 1 w , as square be¬ 
fore. 1 Then as 1 was going away lie shook me 
by the band, saying, *1 hope you’ll he round 
soon.’ I said, ‘1 thought you said I was 
square. Now you hope 1 will he round.’ He 
laughed and said, ‘When I tell you you’ll be 
round, 1 mean you won’t he long. 1 I did not 
know how many forms lie wished me to assume 
however, 1 was glad he did not call me flat.”
