IMPORTED BY TRUTHFUL JAMES.

round my knee.
and dropthem books and first pot -hooks, and hear
yarn from me.
Ikinn not sling a fairy tale of Jinny's fierce and
wild, .
Feel hold it i, unchrstlan to deceive a simple
child;
Bet as from school per driftin'by I thowt ye'd like
to hear
oe a Spellin' Bee " at Angel's that we organized
,last year. "
It weren't made up of gentle kids—of pretty kids—
like you.
But gents ez hed their reg'lar growth, and
some enough for two.
There woz Lanky Jim of Sutter's Fork, and Gilson
of Lagrange.
And "Pistol Bob," who wore that day a knife by
way of change.
Yon start, you little kids, you think these are not
pretty names,
Bat each had a man behind it, and—my name is
• Truthful James.
Thar was Poker Dick from Whisky Flat and Smith
of Shooter's Bend,,
And Brown of Calaveras—which I want no better
friend.
Three -Fingered Sack yes, pretty dears—three fin-
gers—you have five. ,
Clapp cat off two --it's singular too, that Clapp'
ain't now alive.
'Twas very wrong, indeed, my dears, and Clapp
was mneh to blame :
Likewise was Jack, in after years, for shootin' of
that same.
The nights was kinder lengthenin' out, the rains
had just begun, -
When all the camp came up to Pete's to have their
usual fun ;(
But we all sot kindersad like around the barroom
stove
Till Smith sot up, perraiskies-like, and this remark
he hove:
" Thar's a newgame (Tomlin Frisco, that as far ez
I kin see,
Beata eucher, poker and van -coon, they calls the
' Spelhn'Bee,' e, -
Then Brown, of Calaveras simply hitched his chair
and spoke :
"Poker is good enough for me," and - Lanky Jim
sez. "Shake."
And Bob allowed he warn't proud, but he "-must
say right thar
That the man who tackled encher lied his educa-
tion equiv."
This brought up Lenny Fairchild, the school -mas-
ter, who said,
He knew the game and he would give instructions
on that head.
"For instance, take some simple word," sez he,
"like'separate.'
Now who can spell it ?" Dog my skin, of thar was
one in eight.
This set the boys all wild at once. The chairs was
put in row,
And at the head was Lanky Jim, and at the foot
was Joe,
And high upon the bar itself the schoolmaster was
raised,
And the bar -keep put his glasses down, and sat and
silent gazed.
The first word out was " parallel," and seven let it
be,
Till Joe waltzed in his double "1 "betwixt the " a'
and"e;"
For, since he drilled them Mexicans in San
Jacinto's fight,
Thar warn't no prouder man got up than Pistol
Joe that night—
Till "rhythm "came t He tried to smile, then
said, " they had him there,"
And Lanky Jim, with one long stride got np and
took his chair.
• 0 little kids 1 my pretty kids, 'twos: touchin' to
survey
These bearded men, with weppings on, like school-
boys at their play.
They'd laugh with glee, and shout to see each other
lead the van,
And Bob sat up as monitor with a cue for a .rat-
tan,
Till the chair gave out "incinerate," and Brown
said he'd be darned •
If any such blamed word as that in school was ever
learned.
When "phthisis " came they all . sprang up, and
vowed the man who rung
Another beamed Greek word on them be taken out
and hung. •
As they sat down again I saw in Bilsou'd eye a
flash,
And 1310wu of Calaveras was a-twistin' his mus-

And whezt at last Brown slipped on " gneiss" and
Bilson took his chair,
He dropped some casual words about some folks
who dyed their hair.

" Success to thy ingenuity, O woman!
said! the' rejoicing man 'to himself I
should never have tho{ fight of such an
expedient.".
And when they came to the ravine
he stuck his cane in�the ground and
tied; the goat to it, .gas a the chicken to
the woman, saying ; " Hold it while I
cut (some grass for the goat," and then
lowering the kettle from his shoulder,
_imprisoned the chicken under it, and
wickedly kissed the Woman, as she was
afraid he would.

She was a noodle a d he was a noo-
dle„ and when their marriage was an-
nounced, Simmons, who knew and ap-
preciated them both, exclaimed with
tears standing in his eyes :' " Two souls

—Said arailroad engineer to an Irish
map, whose cow had been killed: "But
she didn't get out of the way when I
rang the bell." " Faith, thin," said Pat,
" ye didn't shtop whin she ' rang her

" Papa," said a bright boy, who had
jus come home from { a sleight-of-hand

A. countryman wishing to sympa-
s- with his neighbor for the loss of
wife, said : " I Sp sorry your poor
woman an has gone to `heaven." " Thank

before you go there."
--Here is an extract from a genuine
love letter, which the London Christian
Signal vouches for : " Dearest love. I
have swallowed the postage stamp
which was on your ! letter, because I
knew that your lips had touched it."
After this the deluge:
—A squirrel saw a! man late in the
fall without an overcoat. Said, he to
Mrs. Squirrel : - '°'Going to be a mild
winter this yeah, Nancy ; men go with-
out overcoats." Moral—It is as easy
for the squirrel to tell what the weath-
er will be by what the man wears,
as for the mean by what the squirrel
wears.
—A gentleman in iisTew Orleans was
agreeably surprised to find a plump tur-
key served up for dinner, and inquired
of his servant how it was =obtained.
" Why, sir," replied Sambo, " dat tur-
key has been roosting on our fence tree
nights. So dis morning I seize him for
de rent ob de fence."
—Farmers in the vicinity of the
lakes where ducks do congregate are
having their cattle measured for sheet=
iron blankets, to ward off the shot of
hunters. Someare driving their cattle
to the woods until the season is over,
while others, who have tough old steers,
let; them graze around the lakes, and
pick the shot out of the hide and sell
them again. -
--" That's a very stupid brute of
yours, John," said a Scottish minister
to his parishioner, the peat- dealer, who
drove: his merchandise from door - to
door in a small cart drawn by a donkey,
" I never see you . bet the creature is
braying." " Ah,, said the peat deal-
er, 4' ye ken the sirart's warm when
friends meet."
'--A gentlemantook the following
telegram to a telegraph office ; " I an-
nounce, with grief, the death of Uncle
James. Come quickly to read will. I
believe we are the hairs. John Black."
The clerk, having counted the words,
said : ''_ There are two "words too
many, sir." " All right ; cut out ' with
grief.' "
—A minister's life has frequent dis-
appointments. 'During the great re-
vival a stolid, matter-of-fact farmer went

I'm after."
The Tables Turn?d. -
A capital joke is told here of Miss
Eva Davis, saleswoman at Table Rock
Museum (Canada side). A visitor was
inspecting the curiosities, and seemed
taken with the "Derbyshire spar work,"
which, Miss Eva Said, was manufac-
tured from Table !Rook stone, which
statement he was inclined to question :
bat this sweet, black-eyed merchant
assured him it was all she represented,
and, furthermore, they now had sixteen
artists in a back room engaged . in
making the same kind of ware. She
handed him a piece of genuine English
spar for scrutiny. " Well," said the
innocent stranger, " please show me in-
to this room where the sixteen artists
are at work, and I' will believe what
you say is a fact." " Oh, no, indeed!"
quoth his fair vis- -vis ; " that would
not do; 'tie against our rules ; we never
give anybody the' open sesame' -=to this
secret chamber which contains our
wealth." " Alas i" says . the gent,
" then please set all these kickshaws
back on the shelf (150 worth), - and do
accept this $20 bill as a faint token of
my regard." " Wily," said she, " what
do you mean ?" " ell, Was, I must
tell you a fact. TMly name is Samuel
Bowers ; I live in Derbyshire, Eng-
land, where I manufacture this spar
work. Furthermo `e, your father is one
of mybest customers, - and you, Miss
Eva, his daughter, are the boss sales-
man"

A Little Roy's Story.
Little Johnny, the youthful contribu-
tor of the Argonaut, records this moral
tale : A preecher wtich had been a wick-
ed gamier fore he was a preecher he
seen a feller with was a gamier too, and
he sed, the preecher did : " Ile jest play
cards with this pore mizable sinner,and
win ol his unny, and wen he is busted

trooth and be saved." So they played
and the preecher h winned ol the fel-
ler's munny evry cent, and then he scd :
" Now see how wic ed you have ben for

babys haven't got o bred fur to eat."
And the gamier he ed : That's so," and
he bust cart a cryin. Then the preacher
he sed " Pore sin er, if you prommice
me unto yore onne to not play cards

The woman Who Was Afraid
of Being Kissed.
A man was once walking along one
road, and a woman along another. The
two roads finally united, and man and
woman reaching the junction at the
same time, -walked on together. The
man was tarrying. a large iron kettle on
his back : in one hand he held by the
leg a live chicken, in the other a cane,
and he was leading a goat. Just as
they were coming to a deep, dark ravine
the woman said to the man : `
I am afraid to go through the ravine
with you ; it is • a lonely place, and
you might overpower me and kiss me
by force."
"- If you are afraid of that," said the
man, " you shouldn't have walked with
me at all ; how can I possibly over-
power you and kiss you by force when
I have this great iron kettle on my
back, a cane in, one hand and a live
chicken in the other and am leading a
goat ? I might 'as well be tied hand and
foot."
" Yes,'' replied the woman ; " but if
•you should stick your cane in the
ground and tie the goat to it, and turn
the kettle bottom side up, and put the

Position 'in Sleep.
A writer in the Christian at Work in-
,sts that position in sleep is of great
nportanoe. He says :
The food passes from the st mach at

ilitated by going to sleep on the right.
