A Yankee has invented a butterchurn that is worked by a locomotive. He sends off his new milk by the railway train, and it arrives at the market worked up into butter ! A certain minister once took for his morning text," Te are of your father, the devil!"—and in the afternoon, unconsciously," Children obey your parents." Initials in Vogue.—Lively young lady (to Paterfamilias): Note from Gertrude Clack, papa. "My dear Annie—Will you favor us with your company to-morrow afternoon at a game of croquet, to come off on the lawn at 4 precisely. D. V." Paterfamilias: D. V, my dear! Miss Gertrude Clack is very profane. Lively young lady: La, papa! D.V.—the dresses we are all t6 wear you know. Dolly Vardens.—Punch.
