"No," she said oaltnly, t'not to -morrow.

He answered,. "Yes," "And 'your mamma's boy, too ?" "Yes," replied Charlie. "Well, how can yon - be papa's boy and mamma's boy both at the. same time ?" "Oh," replied Charlie,gnite indifferently, "can't a wagon have two horses ?" —A youth who attended a Scotch revival meeting for the fun of the thing, ironically inquired of the minister, "whether he could work a miracle or not ?" The young mans curiositywas fully satisfied by the . rahnister kicking him out of the church, with the mal- ediction "We cannot work miracles, but we can cast out devils l" • A Scottish King's Magnanimity. Long years ago, in times so remote that history does not fix, the epoch, a dreadful war was waged by the king of Scotland. Scottish valoeprevailed, and the king of Scotland, elated by his suc- cess sent- for his prime e ,minister, Lord Alexander. "Well, Sandy," said Iasi, "is there ne'- er a king we canna conquer noo ?" "An' it please your majesty, I ken. o' a king that your majesty canna van- quish." "An' who is he, Sandy ?" Lord Alexander, reverently up, said : "The King o' Heaven." "The king o' whar, Sandy'?" "The King o' Heaven." The Scottish king did not understand, but was unwilling to exhibit any ignor- ance. - "Just gang your ways, Sandy, and tell the King a' Heaven to gi'e up his dominions, or I'll come nlyael' and ding him oot o' them ; and rn.nd, Sandy, ye dinna come back to us until ye ha'e dune oor bidding." Loth Alexander retired much per- plexed, but met a priest, and, reassured returned and presented himself, "Well, Sandy," said' the king, "ha'e Ye seen the King o' Heaven, and what says he to our bidding ?" "An' it pleases your majesty, I have seen ane o' his accredited{{ ministers." "Teel, an' what says he ?" "Ile says Your Majesty, may e'en ha'o his kingdom for the askin' o' it." "Was he sae civil?" said the king, warming to magnanimity. "Just gang Your ways back, Sandy,` an' tell the ging o' Heaven that for h s civility the deil a Scotchman shall se a foot in his kingdom." looking The Red Spider. Ladies who have - the ore of houses° plants will do well to note the following from the le New York Tri on ne . c Human tissue is as good a nesting -place for the red spider as the tissoe of plants. Probably it is better, being warmer. They seem to barrow like ticke under the outlaw, and increase amazingly. ' A lady whom I knew had occasion toemove from one part of her house to another a dra- cairms, which meet have , been loaded with spiders;; the spreading leaves came across her arm and shoulder, some touched her neck and face. After Chia she was annoyed with something like'the'sharp bite of insects, but, find- ing nothing whatever where She thought she Was bitten, and not dreaming of !the cause, she was exceedingly 'perplexed.. She half fancied that the old-time per- seon4tion by witches had returned, or that she was attacked by some unheard of disease. Finally she appealed to soiehce, and the microscope revealed on her )Fleck and shoulders little colonies of red spiders ; apparently happy and in a flourishing condition. She vibrated` en- ergetically between- parlor and bath- room for a few days, and at length! an- nounced total extermination." Didn't ° Agree. They were engaged to be married and called each other by their•first nalmes, and he was telling her how he had al- ways liked the name of , Fannyl and how it sounded like music in his ears. . "I dike the name so well," he a ted, as a sort of clincher to the argu ent, "that when sister Clara asked a to name her pet terrier, I at once called it Fanny, after you, dearest." "I don't think that • was very nice," said the fair girl, edging away fromihim. "Hos would yon , like to have a dog named after you ?" "Why that isn't anyth-ing,'-' answered Tom, airily; half the cats in the coun- try are named after me." They don't speak now. Artemus Ward in - England. When Artemus arrived herd in 1866, he was eddying man. .1 oan see him now as h' came on the platform in front of his, inf�fiior panorama, and .stole a glance at the densely packed room and then at hied panorama. His tall, gaunt, though slender figure, his curly light hair, and large aquiline nosh, which always reminded me of a macaw$ his thin face flushed with consumption, his little cough, which seemed to shake him to pieces, and which he said was wear- ing him out, at which we all laughed irresistible, and then felt ashamed of ourselves, as well we might ; but he seemed to enjoy his cough. i It was all part of that topsy-turvy mind in Which everything appeared most natural rap - side down. - On first entering he would seem ;pro- foundly unconscious that anything was expected of him. But after looking at the audience, then at his own clothes, and then apologetically at his panora- ma, he i would begin to explain its merits. ,'he•fact was that Artejmus intended to have the finest scenes . that could be painted, but he gave them' up on account of the expense, and then determined to get the worst as the neat ' best thing for his purpose. When any- thing very bad came up he would pause 4nd gaze admiringly , at. the canvas, and then loop arcjund a littler reproachfully at the com- pany. ''This picture," he would say,"is a fine work of art, it is an oil painting done in peroleurn. It is by the did masters. It was the last thingtheydid befor dying. They did this nd hen they expired. I wish you were ne Ter to it so you could see it better. I *ish I could. take it to your residences and 'let yoe see it byedaylight. Some of the greatest artists in London come here every morning . before daylight with lanterns to look at it. They say they never saw anything like it before, and they hopes they never shall again 1" Nothin could be more impromptu, and - thereforeeviting, throughout than his manner from the moment he entered; he seemed to be doing everything' for the first time, and withdnt the least preparation, and indeed be was most unlike such mechanical artists as Albert Smith, who used to say he ebnld go through his "Mount Blanc" half asleep. Artemus was always in reality at high pressure.e was never twice the same ; he poured out new jokes with prodigal invention, and every gesture was original; and arose out of the immediate occasion. His finger was ever on the pulse of the people ; they were absolutely in his power, whilst he flattered them by appearing to be en- tirely in theirs. He would cccnciliate them, inspire pity, claim indulgence, throw hinjself upon their generosity, pretend to exert himself, to labor under a depressing sense,.of failure, even make capital out of his poor cough ; and then he was deeply wounded if ` some mild joke failed to elicit "applause, then he would stop and look reproachfully at the people until they shook with a new sense of the absurd situation. At other times, when interrapted by laughter, he. would looklaroand with surprise and say, "I did not expect you to laugh at that. • 1 can throw off numbers of those little things, but I assure you I can do better thant." - When he dp nod his lecture. on the Mormons at t1ie Egyptian Hall, he said quite apologetically : "I don't expect to do ranch here,, but I have thought if I could make money enough to buy me a passage to New Zealand, I should feel that I have not lived in vain. I don't want to live in vain. I 'd rather Vera in Margate, or here." The heat was most oppressive and the hall very crowded the day I was there, and looking np to the roof he con- tinued : "But I wish when the Egypt- ians built this hall, (a burst of laughter) they had not forgotten the ventilation." Apropos of nothing at all, a little further on he observed, "I really don't care for money ; I only travel around to show my clothes." This was a favorite joke of his ; • he would look with a piteous 'expression, and almost misery at his black trousers and swallow -tail coat, a Costume in which he said he was always most wretched. "These clothes I have on," he continued, "were a great success in America,", (and then quite irrelevantly and rather hastily, "how often do large fortunes ruin young men. I should like to be rained, but. I can get on very well as I am !" So the lecture dribbled on with little fragments of impertinent biography, mere pegs for slender witticisms like this : When quite a child I used to draw on wood ; I drew a small cartload of raw material over a wooden bridge ; the people of the village noticed me I drew their attention ; they said I had a fortune before .me ; np to that I had an idea that it was behind me," Or this : "I became a man ; I have always been mixed up with art. I have an uncle who takes photographs, and I have a servant who takes anything he can get his hands on." - But Ward was, something besides a sparkling humorist ; he was a man of character and principle ; there was nothing* of the adventurer—very little, even of the speculator about hire. Even in the depths of comedy he was always on the side of justice - and virtue, and not with the big battalions "I az 3 these questions" (about Louis Napoleon) sa¢s the showman, . my royal duke and moat noble highne and imperials, beQause I'm anxious to know he stands as a man. I know e's smart. He is outnin', he is long eaded, he is grate; but onless bele good he'll oome down with a crash one oft ese days, and the Bonypartes will be busted up again.. -Bet! yer.life." These comic but phrophetio I words were written when the late Em- peror was at the climax - of his power, and about the time it was so mach the fashion to call the Second Empire a perfect success. ! - Artemus Ward. . w S a worthy and s sound, blameless, and affectionate. d mother.was like omfort nd happi- loveable man ; hje wa shrewd, sensiti e, His devotion to is o that of a child ; er c nese constantly uppermost in his thoughts. At one tithe he wanted to gether to England -las, it would only hale been to weep over his grave ! At another he thought o going home to live with her after mkin his fortune. His faille he valued ejuite as much for the pleasure it gave the old lady as the Dash it brought 'him in. He was the natural foe of bigotry, Peoksnfl`iism, and inimorality of every kind. There a e malty hits at hypo- crites, formalist , sh s and religions scoundrels ; bu thr ughthe whole of his works you ill no find one sneer at virtue or reli ion, nd in Spite of a few broad jokes not mite in European taste,there is n tt really one loose or un- guarded though . The Times said - of his lecture on th Mormons, "It is utter- ly free from offs oe,theughths opportu ni- ties ;of offence a e ob$iously numerous ; not ianly are his joked irresistible, but his shrewd remarks prove him to be a man of reflection as ell as 1a consum- mate humorist." "I never stain my pages," writes-AFtem s,"with even mild profanity in the firs place its wicked, and in the second pla a its not funny." —R. LI. Haweis lin Go id Words. The Gore Factory. The other day a stoat woman' armed with an umbrella and' leading asmall urchin, called at the jofi'ioe of a New York boys' story- paper. • "Is this the place Where they fight Indians ?" she icquireid of the gentle- man in charge. "Ia this the locality, where the brave boy ; charges up I the, canyon and speeds a bullet to they heart of tlle.disky red -skin ?1" and she je ked the,urchin around by the ear, and brouht her umbrella down on the desk. "We publish stories., for boys," replied the young man evasively. "I want to know if these are the premises on which 'the daring lad springs upon his fiery mustang and, darting through the ciole of thunder- struck savages, cuts t 'e captive's cords and ears him away b ore the wonder- ing Indians have - recd vered from their astonishment 1 Theta the information: I'm after, I want to know if that sort of thing is perpetrated here ?" and she swung the umbrella around her head and launched a .crack at the young man's head "I' don't remember those specific acts," protested the young man. "I' want to know if this is the pre- cinct.where the adventurous�boy jumps on the back of a buffalo and with un- erring aim picks off ;one by one the bloodthirsty pursuers Who bite the dost at every crack of his faithful rifle I -I'm looking for the place where this sort of thing, happens!" and this time she brought the unlucky Soong man -a tre- mendous whack across the back. "I think— I" :commenced the dodging victim. . "I'm in search of the shop in which the boy road agent holds the quivering stage driver powerless' with his glitter- ing eye, while he robs the , male pass- engers with an adroitness born of tried and long experience,' and kisses the hand ,of the lady passengers with a gal- lantry of bearing that; bespeaks noble birth .and a chivalrous nature !" scream- ed the woman, driving; the young roan in the corner. "I'm . looking for the - apartment in which F the business is transacted !" and down came the um- brella with trip hammer force on the young man's head. , - "Upon my soul, ma'am—!" gasped the wretched youth. "I Want to be introdrioed to the jars in which you keep the boy scouts of the Sierras l Show me the bins full of the boy detectives .of the; prairie ! Point out to me the barrels fill of boy pirates of the Spanish main !'t and with eaoh demand she dropped t e umbrella on theoun an s skull, until u u til he skipped Y g mll, t ed lover thedesk,and a d sou�ht safety -in, a neighboring canyon. "I'll teach em !" she panted, grasping the archin by the ear nd leading him off, "h11 teach 'em to,make it good or dance. Want to go fiht Indians any more ? Want to stand proudly upon the pinnacle of the mous ntain and scat- ter the plain with the bleeding bodies of uncounted slain ? Want to say hist ! in a time that brooks ne contradiction ? Propose to spring upon the taffrail and with a! ringing word of Command Send a broadside into a richly laden galley, and then mercifully sp re the beautiful - maiden in the cabin th t she may be- come your bride ? Eh Going to do it any more ?" With each question Phe hammered the yelping urchin unti his bones were sore and he protested his permanent abandonment of all th glories enum- erated. "Then come along," liaid she, taking him by the collar. "L t me catch you around with any mor ramrods and carving knives, and y u'Il thiuk the leaping, curling, resistl ss prairie fire has swept with a feroc ons roar of tri- umph across the trembling plains and lodged in your pantaloons to stay !"— Brook/9n Eagle. - 'A Wise Prec S,ution.
