THE LEGEND.
A tomisl with his bride asked a driver if there was anything remarkable about the mountain they were ascending and he answered; "No, nothing peculiar about the hill itself, but there is a queer story connected with it." "Please give us the legend." "Well, once upon a time a young lady and gentleman went up this mountain together, and hundreds of people saw them go higher and higher until they disappeared, and they never came back." "What became of them?" "They went down on the other side."
Mrs. Greene met a friend and, in the course of conversation, remarked: "My husband's birthday comes next week." "Well," asked the other lady, "what gift are you choosing for Mm?" Mrs. Greene smiled proudly as she replied : "I've been taking a cigar out of his case for the last three months. I've got a hundred now, and I'll give them to him for a birthday present." "How does it happen," incpiired the stranger, "that all the improvements are being made in this one street?" "It docs not happen at all, sir," replied the guide, who was showing him about the place, majestically. "This is the street I live in. 1 am chairman of the local board, sir."
