There's a maiden in ottr village With hair of sunny hue, And eyes of woodland loveliness, Like violets and deht. Her face is sweet with roses That blush against the, gray Of her little quaker bennet, suggesting March and May. She talks with quaint .decision, Which is music, I'll allow, When she greete me, as elle meets me, With an earnest HoW art thou?" Though in manner she is charming, There is nothing th, t is half So perplexing and be 'itching As her pretty quals r laugh. Defying rules of discia line, Its mirth is ftill and free, Whene'er I greet her i 1 return, "Friend; is it well ith thee?" She knows I am not of the fold, Mayhap, she likes to chaff, But 'tie certain that I love her For her little quaker laugh.

Perhaps so; but heaws on chairs are still having their nights. —A axian old lady • recently sent as wedding presents a pair of flat -irons, a rolling -pin, and. a naotto worked on cardboard reading, "Fight on." —"John, what is the best .thing to feed, a parrot on?" asked an elderly lady of her bachelor brother, who hated parrots. "Arsenic," gruffly answered. ohn. --Small boy—"Mother, please give me another lump of sngar for my coffee. rye dropped the one you gave me." Mother—"Where hive you dropped it?" Small boy—"Inthe coffee." —Nothing exasperates a. woman who has been shading her eyes from the -gas-light with her hands all the evening so much as to find. that after all she had left her best diamond ring on the wash- stand. —Senior asks ;5rofessor a very pro- found question. Professor—"Mr. W—, a fool can ask a question that ten wise men could notanswer." Senior—' 'Then I suppose that's why so many of us flunk. ___‘,Look, dear! There's your husband going to supper with Mrs. Schdamore. A dangerously attractive woman. Let me warn you !"—"How good of you How I wish he was going in to supper with you, dear, instead!' —Judge to witness in criminal court— "Haw far were you from the accused when he fired his revolver ?"—"When he fired the first time I was about ten feet away."—"And when he fired the second time ?"—"About a hundred yards." —Mrs. A went into the kitchen one morning and informed Ellen that Mr. Thompson, a neighbor and a promi- nent resident, had committed _suicide. Ellen looked at her, with an expression of mingled astonishment and disgust, and said, "Oh -h -h, mum, has he? Wid who?" —"How much are these tearful bulbs by the quart ?" asked a maiden of a Fulton ,'N.farket grocer, the other morn- ing. He stared at her a moment as if bewildered, but Soon recovered himself and bluffly said, "Oh, them inyuns ? Twenty cents." —A Western lawyer, who was defend- ing a man on trial for wife -murder sought for some euphonious and hanocent phrase with which to describe his client's crime, and finally said, "he winnowed her into Paradise with a fence rail." —An old negro was complaining to a friend that an idle vagabond had strnck him. "Well, did you hit him back 1" asked the friend. "No, sah," said the old man; "I didn't touch him back, but I hit him head wid a bean -pale !" —"Are you building castles in Spain, Mr.Jones ?). said a landlady to a boarder, who was thoughtfully regarding his coffee -cup. "No, madam, only looking over my grounds in Java," replied the contemplative man. —"Will you take a kiss ?" asked a young beau of his sweetheart, as he passed the plate of confectionery at table. "Why, Augustus !" exclaimed the blushing fair one, "not before all these people? —" Where are you going ?" asked s, gentleman of a friend who had stepped on an orange -peel and slipped into the gutter, " I'm going out of this," was the blunt reply. —Dilly-dallying Lover—" Look at those two birds, Maria. What a chat- tering they keep-. up around the door of that rustic bird house? It is charming- ly rural, isn't it ?" Disheartened Maria (crisply) :—"Yes." " What , do you think they can be saying to each other, dear "They are saying: Let us get married and keep house., " The Same Old Racket. "There ain't no show in this country no more for an honest man," said an ill- natured passengers who ooked like a farmer. "The darned rogues are run- ning the country now, and honest folks haven't got no ahow for their white alley. What's the matter with me? Cranky? Not a bitof it, stranger, an if you was me you'd be a-hollerin'; too. Your growlin's could be heard all over a ten -acre lot. "No, I don't mind telling you what's the matter with me. You see I own a nice farm down the country here a piece —'bout the best farna in our deestrict, if I do say it myself—and lots of people have tried to bily it. My price has allus been too high for 'em_, though, an' nobody took it. Well, bne day last week a stranger came along an' said he wanted to buy a right smart farm, an' had beeu recommended to me. He looked the place all over, inquired about the water an' crops an' everything, studied over it an hour or two, tried to beat me dawn on my figures an' finally accepted my terms. Then he gave me $30 to bind the bargain an' went away, Saying he had to go to the city, and would be back again in a few days to close up the bargain. The very next day another man came along and wanted to buy the place. lie looked it all over and said it just struck his fancy. 'I don't care for money,' said he; this is the place I want, and I'll give you $500 more than the other man offered you, if you'll let me have it." Come around ha a few (Jaye,' says I, "an' I'll see what lean dofor you. Here's $25,' says he, just to show you that I'm in earnest.' " Of course I wanted that extra $500 if I could get it honorably, an' so when the first ma.n came back a few days later I told him I had concluded not to sell, and offered him his money. But he wouldn't take it, and insisted on my livin' up to the contract, hear you've got another offer,' says he 'and I gee you don't want to sell to me. The ;44.4 THE HURON EXPOSITOR. other fellow's crazy to get the place but I'm ahead of him and you must live up to contract or make trouble. Here's your receipt and agreement.' I saw he had me, an' offered him $50 and his money back to give up the bargain. Ho refused it. Then I offered him a hun- dred. Still he refused.i I kep' on raisin' him till I made it $306 and ,shook the money under his nose.' Then he weaka ened, took the $300 ad his own $50 back, gave me a receipt an' went away. "This was a prettY good bonus, but I felt good all the ame. I'm $20W ahead anyhow,' says 16 'and $200 ain't 'made every day on a farm." "Good stroke of financiering iyour part, wasn't it ?" 1 "Yes. The only trouble about it was, I never heard of the secOnd pur- chaser again. The two scoundrels were workin' the racket together." • The Hulbert Show. 1 The following 1 is the list of prizes awarded, at the Hibbert show held at Staffa last week: HORSES,—HEAVY DRAUGHT IMPORTED. —Brood mare, having foaled in 1886, lst and 2nd Thos.- Calquhoun, .Peter Campbell • sucking foal, Thos.
