THAT TOUGH OLD HEN. 
The years go by. this chicken then 
Will come to be a tough old hen ; 
Too old to lay, sin 1 soon must die 
And be served up as chicken pie. 
—Gorham (!V. H.) Mountaineer. 
But when of It you eat your fill, 
You'll quickly want a liver pill; 
For nothing's slower to digest, 
When once It gets beneath your vest. 
—Southern Cultivator. 
Yet not because the fowl Is tough, 
'Twill make you feel you've got enough; 
Few men there are who know just when 
They’ve had enough of an old hen.

“Is it right,” asked a contemporary, “for a

They tell in Philadelphia of a small boy 
whose governess one day, out of patience with 
his mischievousness, caught him by the arm, 
saying: “Harry, I believe the Old Nick nas

answered: “Yes, but only with one hand.”—

A little four-year-old of my acquaint¬ 
ance was much impressed by her first out of-

moon and all her little childrens.”— Cormvall

“Mb. Tart, I have written some verses ou 
my dog; would you like to hear them?” “Oh,

George Sampson was firmly resolved to 
know his fate that very night. “Miss Clara,” 
be began tenderly, “you are not quite your

acute indigestion.” So he postponed know¬

Sub-editor: “Here’s one of the most sense¬ 
less things 1 ever handled. I don’t understand

Editor: “No, no! Put it in the funny col¬ 
umn, 1 guess, probably, that is where it’s in¬ 
tended to go.”— Baltimore Herald. 
General Sherman has a good memory for 
faces but is apt to forget names. He was 
walking along the street hi Washington one 
day in company with a friend, when a man 
stopped him and smilingly asked after his 
health. “ 1 beg your pardon,” said the Gener¬ 
al. “Your face is familiar, but I can’t recall 
your name.” “I made your shirts,” was the re¬ 
ply. “Oh! why'certainly! Recall you perfect¬ 
ly!” exclaimed the general. “Colonel,” turn¬ 
ing to his companion, “lot me introduce to 
you my old army friend, Major Shurz ”— The
