Girls, make a note of this remark of an old worn-out beau: " A man who most compliments a woman is the one who most despises her." A mantle-shelf:—A girl's shoulders. The Four Seasons: Mustard, Salt, Fepper, and Vinegar. A busy watering-place all the year round —a milkman's. To rob a man of his money is to wound him in the chest. " The Hour of Need ": You can't help knowing it, for when it does come it is sure to Strike One. Speaking Like a Book: Our sage says that you can most readily lay your hands on a volume when its a-tome. It is recorded that the first threshing machine set up in Illinois is still running, and killed a man last season just as effectually as a new one. Dr Thomson keeps the Atlanta Hotel. Two gentlemen stopped there, and one of them getting " tight," was reproved by the landlord, when the other cautioned the doctor not to speak so harshly to his friend, for he had killed his man. " Killed his man," roared Thomson ; " why, sir, I have practised medicine twenty years, aud do you think to frighten me with a chap that has killed only one man!"
