A lady sitting in her parlor, and engaged in the dreamy contemplation of the moustache of a young gentleman who was to escort her and her sister to a musical festival, was suddenly awakened by an ominous stage whisper, in a juvenile voice, at the door, “You’ve got Ann’s teeth, and she wants ’em.” In a little town in Missouri a lady teacher was exercising a class of juveniles in mental arithmetic. She commenced a question: “If you buy a cow for ten dollars”—when up rose a little hand. ‘ * What is it, Johnny?” “Why you can’t buy no kind of a cow for ten dollars,” said Johnny. “ Father sold one for'sixty dollars the other day, and she was a regular old scrub at that. ” A Lafayette (Ind.) man, just as he was approaching the shining shore, took his wife’s hand and said : “ Susan, you’ve been a good wife ! We’ve lived together thirtytwo years, and I never found a button off my shirt! I’ll speak a good word for you as soon as I git thar.”
