Oh, swaying nes’, by summer winds 
Like rustic censer lightly swung, 
How slight the tie that lightly binds 
Thy weight the swinging boughs among; 
A tiny home, soft sheltered ’neath the eaves, 
The emerald cornices of fluttering leaves. 
I bend above with loving eyes 
To peep into the downy home, 
And with a cry of real surprise 
Set off across the fields to roam. 
Whoo—whoop! There are as near as can be 
guessed 
Four hundred thousand hornets in that nest. 
—Burdette,in Farm. Journal. 
An Unpardonable Sin.—E ditor’s wife: “I 
wonder what can be the matter with Mrs. 
Smith; she hasn’t returned my visit yet.” Edi¬ 
tor (absent-mindedly): “.Perhaps you neg¬ 
lected to inclose a stamp.”— Harper's Bazar. 
“Minnie has been to see me to-day,” said a 
little five-year-old; “and she behaved like a 
lady.” “And I hope you did, too;” said her 
mother. “Yes, indeed I did; I turned somer¬ 
sets for her on the bed.”— Old ColonyMemor- 
ial. 
Proprietor of South Fifth Avenue Hotel 
(to waiter): “See if the gentlemen in parlor A 
have finished discussing their dinner yet.” 
Waiter (returned): “Deyam fru eatin’ boss, 
but dey ain’t done cussin’ it yet.”— Western 
Rural. 
Winks: “What a sad, anxious face that 
man has.” Jinks: “Yes, I noticed it. He has 
a strained, haunted, afraid-l-wont-catch the- 
train expression. I guess he works in the city 
and lives in the suburbs.”— Philadelphia 
Record. 
After having listened at a Thanksgiving 
dinner to Jones’s stale jokes,Smith said: “Isay, 
Jones, the Thanksgiving turkey is luckier 
than we are.” Jones: “In what way?” “He 
isn’t stuffed with chestnuts until after he is 
dead.”— Texas Siftings. 
Perhaps no newspaper writer was ever 
more disturbed by a trifle than was the so¬ 
ciety reporter who, in describing the belle of 
a recent fashionable party, intended to say 
“she looked aufait," but found it “she looked 
all feet.”— Terra. Haute Express. 
“Talk about cheap postal rates: I’ve seen 
135 pounds go for a two-cent stamp,” re¬ 
marked Mr. Keeplent. “When was that?” 
said Mrs. K., laying down her paper. “This 
morning, my dear, when you went to the 
corner drug store for a stamp.”— New Eng¬ 
land Farmer. 
A Rich member, on entering chapel found 
a stranger seated in his pew, whereupon he 
wrote on the leaf of his prayer-book: “My 
pew,” and handed it to the intruder. The 
stranger wrote underneath: “Nice one too. 
How much do you pay?” and sat hard.— 
Home Journal. 
Miss Bacon (they have been discussing or¬ 
chids) : “And now, Professor, I want you to 
tell me all about the plant from which elec¬ 
tricity is made.” Professor Hohonthy (aghast): 
“The which?” Miss Bacon: “You certainly 
must have heard of it. Father says its high 
cost prevents the general use of electric light¬ 
ing—I mean the electric plant.”— Harper's 
Bazar.
