The man who lives on hope must pick the bonea ov disappointment This settling down and folding our arms, and waiting for something to turn up, iz just az rich a speculation az going out iuto a 400 acre lot, sitting down on a sharp stoue, with a pail between your knees and waiting for a cow to back up and be milked. A gentleman, fond of using highflown language, sometimes makes very laughable mistakes. Ono had the honor of presiding at a Sunday-school celebration and after one of the speeches, he addressed the audience, telling them that they would now have " some vocal music by the brass baud." A Kentucky horse, believing that all flesh is grass, bit off bin owner's oar a few days ago. The owner thinks it an erroneous application of the text.
