THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Humorous. 
Though grass mav grow anew each year, 
And seem of tender age, 
’Tis older far than you appear, 
Because Its past ur-age f 
— Munsey's "Weekly. 
The average stock company fully under¬ 
stands the science of horticulture. It 
thoroughly believes in keeping its plant 
well watered.— Boston Transcript. 
ALICE: “ Why, Edith, is that you ? What 
a pretty bonnet you have on ! ” Edith : 
** Do you think I look well in it ? ” Alice: 
‘ Yes, indeed—I hardly knew you.”— Mun¬ 
sey's Weekly. 
“How pleasant it is to see husband and 
wife of one mind f’ “It is indeed. There’s 
the Robinsons, for example. She thinks 
there’s nobody in the world like Robinson, 
and he thinks so, too.”— Boston Tran¬ 
script. 
Didn’t Like Insects.—“How do you 
like the place asked the proprietor of a 
summer resort of a departing boarder. “ It 
would be very desirable for some people,” 
was the cautious answer. “ Eor instance?” 
“Oh, well, say an entomologist.”—TFas7t- 
ington Post. 
It Came at Last.—A grocer at Keene, 
N. H., had sold powder at retail by lamp¬ 
light for over 20 years, and he never found 
fault if the crowd in the store was smoking 
while he poured out the little grains. One 
night last week, however—whish !—bang! — 
boom ! Three men badly hurt—no more 
powder—no more grocery—no insurance.— 
Detroit Free Press. 
His Expedient. —Whitely (to small boy): 
“ Here, sonny, if you collect me a lot of in¬ 
sects I’ll give you a quarter.” Small Boy: 
“Insects! What do yer want ’em fer?” 
Whitley: “ I want to put them on my 
wife’s plants. She won’t let me smoke in 
the house except to kill insects on the 
plants.”— West Shore. 
A YOUNG man walked in his sleep one 
night last week at Slaterville, Ga., and 
when he awoke he found himself at a grind 
stone sharpening his knife. If that young 
man had ever, in his younger days, turned 
a grindstone for a 200 pound man and a 
dull axe, he would have found himself not 
less than 1,000 miles from a grindstone 
when he awoke.— Norristown Herald. 
A Ewing farmer came into town one day 
recently behind a matched team of bays. 
The roads were muddy, owing to the rain¬ 
fall the day before, and the agriculturist 
bad the caudal appendages of his spirited 
nags doubled up and carefully tied to pre¬ 
vent the ends thereof from getting soiled. 
As the animals were speeding through the 
Seventh Ward a little girl living on Cal¬ 
houn street observed the flying steeds with 
their tails arranged in such a peculiar man¬ 
ner, and exclaimed: “Oh, mamma, here go 
two horses with their tails done up in the 
latest style, like your back hair!” “And 
how is that ? ” the mother asked. “ Why, 
in a Psyche knot ”— Michigan Farmer.
