A promising lad who makes his home with 
his parents in this city desired to improve the 
skating before it was everlastingly too late, and 
was full of trouble because there was a skate 
strap missing. He hunted the house, high and 
low, to no purpose ; then, after a moment’s de¬ 
liberation, appealed to his maternal ancestor : 
“ Mother, where is that strap you licked me 
with last Sunday ? ” She found it, and it looked 
twice as good to that boy as on the Sunday re¬ 
ferred to.— St. Paul Pioneer Press. 
The expressions of grief are manifold and its 
degrees are various. “You look sad to-day,’’ 
said one who was sympathetic to his neighbor, 
on whose cheek he discovered the glistening 
dew drop of a great sorrow. “ And well I may,” 
was the touching reply, “for within six months 
I have lost two horses and my wife. I tell you 
I feel pretty bad. ” Then, heaving a deep sigh, 
he continued, “and they were mighty good 
horses, too.” 
A Pittsburg paper speaks of a young man 
“ who shot himself in the West End one evening 
last week.” There is nothing like being explicit. 
The young man is severely but not fatally wound¬ 
ed ; but if he had shot himself in the Southwest 
end, and a little Northerly, veering Southeasterly, 
there would have been no hopes of his recovery.

Two French ladies are conversing on the 
qualities and demerits of their own fair sex. 
Said one, with a twinkle in her beautiful blue 
eye, “I have never known but two women who 
were really perfect.” “ Who was the other ? ” 
asked her companion, with a smile on her fine 
thin lip. 
Singular phenomenon—The man whose feet 
were so large that he had to put his pants on 
over his head, has got a boy so bow-legged that 
his breeches patterns have to be cut with a cir¬ 
cular saw. 
The present style ot weather calls to mind the 
remark of a sable brother, that “he had ’mos’ 
allers noticed if he lived fro de month of March 
he lived fro de year.”
