A little girl wanting a fan, hut
not being able to remember the

to push the warmth off with.”

A returned Australian found
the baby he left at home a miss
of five summers. One day he
offended her and she fretfully
exclaimed: “ I wish you had
never married into our family!”
A little girl up town joyfully
told her mother, the other day,
that 6he had found out where
they made horses—she had
seen a man in Maupin's shop
just finishing one of them, for
he was nailing on his last foot.
Commend us says the “ Inde-

the suggestion that be had bet-
ter take his pocket-book out of
Ins pocket during the ordi-
nance. “ No; I want my pock-
et-book baptised w ith me.”
Jones and Brown were talking
lately ol a young clergyman
whose preaching they had
heard that day. ‘What do you
thins of him V asked Brown.
“ I think,” said Jones, “he
did much better two years ago.”
“ Why, he didn’t preach then,’
said Brown. ‘True,’ said Jones,
‘that is what I mean.‘

A dabbler in literature and
fine arts came upon a young-
ster sitting on the banks of the
river angling for trout, and
thus addressed him: “ Adoles-

Jim and Sal.
One quiet day in leafy June,
When bees and birds were all
in tune,
Two lovers walked beneath the
moon.
The night was fair, so was the
maid;
They walked and talked be-
neath the shade,
NVith none to harm or make
afraid.
Her name was Sal, and bis
was Jim,
And he ws>s fat and she was
slim;
He took to her and she to him.
Says Jim to Sal, ‘By all the
snakes
That squirm among the brush
and brakes,
I love you better ’n buckwheat
cakes.’
Says she to Jim, ‘As you’ve
begun it,
And done and been and gone
and done it,
I love you next to a new boD-
net.’
Says Jim to Sal, ‘Thro’ thick
and thin,
For your true lover count me in,
No other gal I’ll court agin.’
Jim leaned to Sal, 6he leaned
to Jim,
His no6e just touched above
her chin,
Four lips met—went—ahem !
ard the—and then—an’
then—a’ then*—a’ then!
O gals, beware of men in June,
And underneath the silvery
moon,
When frogs and June-bugs are
in tune.
