AN ancient sage once said :—"The
goodness of gold is tried by fire, the
goodness of women by gold and the
goodness of men by women."
IT is generally supposed that all
Christmas presents are accepted, but
this is not the ease. A gentleman
of ere'! his heart aud•iatiutttcl a young
lady Christmas day, but' she rejected.
She did not like•.his presence.
A LITTLE girl living •iu Clinton was
saying her prayer the other evening
and had just finished " give us this day
our daily bread," •when a precocious
four-year-old brother exclaimed, " Say
tookies, Mawy 7"
"THERE are seventeen and a half
men to every • female in Dakota."
" Well, said Miss H , when she
read the above iteni, " if girl; knew
what [ know, they'd take that half a
roan rather time none at all."
AN English magazine descourses on
"Cheap Girls." It says-:—" No young
moan, not even the worst, wants any-
thing to do with a cheap young lady."
This is is a Mistake. No matter Trow
eheap a girl may be, her young man
always thinks she is a "little. deatr."
SOME girls of tit,—Mature require
long thinking before'• -they love. Per-
sistency is so attractive that it often

have thought they were the property of
"some other person.
MISTAttes.—Th, other clay a man
was seen nailing a notice on the fence.
A friend passing, said : " Why don't
you have the notice put in the paper,
where people can read it 7" " Wall,
said the old gentleman, " if I tuck it
to them newspaper fellers they might
get it spelled wrong." The notice read:
" Howzc fur to rent incoir on the prey-
meysis."
THE BUFFALO I:xpre m wants to
know who invented Missing. We don't
think it was ever invented. it ,just
came kind o' natural, like a shock of
sugar-coated electricity. Our first
mother, in her maiden innocence, asked
Adam if her back' hair was all right,
and we presume he couldn't help it.
We couldn't if we had been Adam, and
the girl's mother away at a prayer
meeting.
SOME bachelor has penned the fol-
lowing, but we withhold his name
"Frosty nights have come again, and at
this time of year the single men who
sleep alone prance round upon their
ear, then turn their bedding quickly
back ; and then they tumble in, roll
up into a little knot, with knees up to
the chin, and then unto themselves
they say, just loud enough to hear,
"By George, this thing has got to
change before another year."
