"My wife," said a wag tho other day "came near calling me honoy last night." "Indeed, how wasthat V "Why she cal! od r?e old beeswax." ? "What makes your cows so cross?" said an old lady to.tho milkman tho other day. "Cross, madam? they are the gont lest things in the world." "Woll, tho milk is always sour I" tho matron ropliod sharply. ? "That's a thundering big lie!" said Sam. "No, it is only a fulminating en? largement of elongated veracity ," replied Dick. Harry took off his hat, clovatcd his eyes and held his tongue. ? "Times are so hard 1 can hardly manage to koop my nose abovo water." said a husband the othor night to hie wifo, who was importuning him for a new dress. "No," she ropliod with somo as? perity, "but you manage to keep it abovo iranay and water easy enough I" ? "Doctor, kin you toll mo what's tho matter with my child's nose ??she koeps picken* of it." "Yes, marm; it is probably an irrita? tion of tho pathetic titiliation of tho opli- j urn of the chaBrian." I "There, now, that's just what I told J Becky, but she 'lowed it was worrums." ? It is estimated that the Government loss is at least $8,000j000, per anum, by the nonpayment or evasion of tho intornai revenue tax. ? A little boy being askod, "What is the chief end of man I" replied: "The end what's got the head on." ? How is it that tho trees can put on a new dress without opening their trunks? 'It is because they leavo out their summer clothing. j ? "Ishal). be at home Sunday," remark? ed a young lady, as sho followed to the door her beau, who seemed to be waver? ing in his attachment. "So shall I," was the brute's reply. ? A Frenohman >vho had been in In? dia, speaking ot tiger hunts roraarkod: "Wnen ze Frenchman hunt ze tigare, ah! ze sport is grand, magnifique! but wen ?e tigare hunt ze Fronchman, out! zero is ze very devil to pay V* ? A gentleman, walking with two la? dies, stopped on a hogshead hoop that flew up and struck him in tho faco. "Good gracious!" said ho, "which of you dropped that?" . ? The girls in Michigan are taking de? cisive measuros with the undecidod young - men. A girl asked a young man when be intended to marry her. * Tho young man said he was not on the marry, and the girl broke a teapot filled with hot wa? ter over his head. ? "Well, Patrick," asked tho doctor, "how do you do to-day ?" "0, dear doc? tor, I enjoy vory bad health intircly. -.This rhumetis is very distressing indado. Whin I go to 6leep I lay awake all night and my toe is swelled np as big as a gooso's ken's egg, so whin I stand up I falfdown directly, and so I do." , ?

"Novor mind the woodshod," said Ellen, "go on with your pretty talk." ? "How many rods make an acre ?" a father asked his son, a fast urchin, as ho came home one night from tho town school. "Well, I don't know, governor," was the reply of tho young hopoful, "but I guess you'd think one rod made an acre, if you'd got such a tanning as I did from old' vinegar face this afternoon." ? A lady made her husband a present, a silver cup with an angel at tho bottom; and when she filled for him he used to drink to tho bottom, when sho asked him why he drank every drop ? "Becauso," ducky, ho said, "I long to soo the dear little angeL" Upon which she bad a devil engraved at tho bottom, and ho drank - the same, and she again asked the ques . tioq. "Why," he ropliod, "bocause I! won't leave the old dovil a drop." ? "Mother Goose," when she wrote ner famous "melodies," foretold with the certainty of one inspired with prophosy the conduct of a certain New England general when she penned the line: "And the Butler ran away with the Bpoons" ? There is a haunted house in Troy, Sew York. The man who occupied it says that while in bed, a ghost, in tho iorm of a woman, walked into his room and? laid her head upon his pillow. This ?was too> much-for him, and he has vacated the premises*. ? There is a burden of care in getting riches, fear in keeping them, temptation inr using them, guilt in abusing them, sor? row in losing them, and a burden of ac? count at last to be given up concerning them. j ? "There is one thing sure," said Mrs. Partington, "the females of the present generation.are a heap more indoponden ter than they used to be. Why, I saw a gal go by to-day that I know belonged to the historical class of society, with her dress all tucked up to her knee, her hair all buzzled up like as if sho hadn't had time to. oomb it for a week, and one of her grand mothers old caps, in an awful crumpled condition, on her head. Why, laws honey, when I was a gal, if any of the fellows come along when I had my clothes tucked up that way, and my head kivered with an old white rag, I -would run for dear life, and hide out of sight. J7ell, well, the gals then were innocent fifed mnconfisticated critters." From th$ Louisville Courier. Inportant Political Document; A VOICE FROM 'POSSUM HOLLOW. BY 0. P. DELDOC. I own up to it, my judg-wenf was at fault for once. I had calculated on a gen? eral bust-up. I didn't belicvo much in that copperhead report about Gov. Curtin agoing to call out tho melish, but I did be? lieve it would igsplodo from ?pontanyous combustion. Tho vciy air was a cracklin with signs of a hurrycano boforo it met, and I didn't belicvo even the ghost of Bonjamin Franklin could savo it from be? ing struck by tho lightnin of discord. About the time I thought it was mootin I held a long and awful breath, usin a rye straw to help mo draw it, and bein afeard of suckin in eo much fresh air I stuck the other cend of tho straw into somcthin. When tho fust report como I could skaso I ly contane myself while I red it. When 1 saw who was nominated as tompory chocrman my hair begun to stand on oond, and as old mars said, my fa wees got very dry. I rcmcdid the latter in short order by ticklin em with tho ryo straw, which , 6oon brought about a holthy secretion. Bein one of tho few who doosn't know yet whethor our brethren, who wont astray in tho lato war (of which I am ono) aro altogether out of tho woods yet, I am opposed to anything impudent, and am constantly a tellin' of our boys that if they don't stop a talkin' so much on the street corners and stay at homo more, thoy will bo jcrkod up, or any way om barrass Andy in his groat work of recon? struction. Whon I saw, thon, that Gen. Dix had boon made tompory choorman, thinks I to myself, tho fat's in tho fire now, euro. Tho toco of that Convention is agoin' to bo too Dixio, and instoad of acting as a poor man's plastor to his spi? nal collum, its goin to fornish the cussod Kadicals with a club to boat his brains out, and thon what'U becarao of us poor orphlins! But when I romcmborod tho distinguished sorvicee of Gon. Dix in im prisonin' so many copporhcads in Fort Lafayctto, and read his patriotic speech on takin' tho choor, my mind was sot at rest, and I took another long broathin' spell through tho straw. Whon thoy got through tho fust day's porcodins without puttin their foot in it, 1 was then worked up to a high pitch of excitement, for I know tho fust day was only preliminary, and that if any good work was dono, it must bogin on tho sec? ond. Of courso I was concorned to soo who would bo tho pirmancnt chocrman, and whon I 6aw his namo I was mon? strously afeerd the convention would do very little, and again I drew another long breath, and think I should havo fainted, except that you know that tho smell of mint is powerful good for a sick stomick. But whon I had sufficiently revived to collect my scattered thoughts and remem? bered that. Mr. Doolittlo had cut a wide swathe in tho Radical field, that ho had in his timo eulogized John Brown and had bravely fought tho battles of his country in his scat in tho Sonato, and whon I road his gollorious spooch, in which ho put in somo heavy licks for tho "wayward Bisters," I stiffened up conside? rable Fortunatoly I was well fortifide, or I should nevor havo gono through with all that bapponod in that first openin' in tho wigwam. Kin it bo truo that Massa? chusetts and South Caliny camo in arm in arm ? The buildin' must havo looked liko a gonuino maison d'or, South Caliny notwithstandin her seedy and shiltloss condition funishin the d'ors. I think in my phansy I seo Massa-chusetts with his spindle shanks, with Plymouth rock in his bosom for a broast pin and Bunker Hill monumont for a walking cano, takin Miss Carry up to tho altar ofhis country, whilo tho blushin brido, hor niggors all set free and her rico fioldscultivatin them? selves, keeps step to tho music of Hail Columbia! and forgets hor burning wrongs. Verily, sho may bo called a grass widow, if wo [think of her ruined cities and plantations and should have boon dressed in weeds. Shado of John C. Calhonn ! didn't you turn over in your grave and hide your faco when you saw your mother a goin to prostitute herself in that way ? Why, if the marridgo had to como off, Trasn't Butlor selected, and thon it would havo boon tho old story of Boauty and the Beast ? But I s'poso ho did tho liberal and furnished tho spoons for the weddin'. And as it was a mar? ridgo, tho old Bay State furnishod her best couch?hor genoral couch. Alack-a day I Poor miss Carry, she couldu't help it; sho was in poverty and had to tako the first offor. Other Statos aro humbled. It's no longor tho House of Ilapsburg, but sinco Sadowa it's the Houso of Mis? haps-burg. Lot's drink hor hoalth? whore's the ryo straw ? And though, as in tho other case hor dowor may prove a Sad(d)owa, lot's hopo that with Mass Car? ry it may not prove a miscarringo. Ro tiro, blushing brido, in vinculo matrimonii I Pennsylvania, roceivo your guosts! Draw your curtin?there lot thorn sleep. Cod? fish and rico! Boston and Charleston 1 Boast Butler and Wade Hampton I Pu? ritan and cavalier ^1 Jemima oracky what a woddin 11 But hello! who's that disturbin the meotio. It's somebody a calhn for three choers for the Union, and darn my picturs if it aint Dick Taylor I Now, my young fellow, thats all very purty, but don't you remombor who you are, and that it was you that got up that run on tho National Banks way up on Kod River, when the cheers you called for was of a different sort ? Thar now, I know somo of our fellows would play thunder I Givo mo the rye straw?Richard, I'm astonished at you, and you your fathor's son and Joff. Davis' Drothor-in-law, not to know bettor' on to get up on such a platform and givo such a handle to our onemios. I thought misfortune would havo taught you somo sense. You ain't satisfied with bavin' helped to kick up all tho rumpus which has nearly torn tho gizzards out'n our gellorious countiy, and haven't got the gumption to tako a back Boat, and sot down quiet and peaceable like, whilo tho good and pure and patriotic men of your section, like Colonel Bullitt, and George Houston, and Gov. Orr, and Tom Nelson, and Alex. Stephens, who didn't take up arms, got us all reconstructed, but just at the very time whon tho lovo-feast was highest, and everybody was forgottin, in comtomplatin' the beautiful spectacle of j the marridge, that thore had eve* been &1 war, you must poke up your ugly mug and awaken onpleasant memories. Why, why Richard didn't you pay Gov. Wells, or Michael Hahn, or some of that noble army of emasculate (or is it immaculate ?) patriots to play that role? Couldn't you see that if the Convention was so thin skinned as to squirm and feel skeered at Vallandigham's cousin' amongst 'em it would skoer 'em out of their breeches for you to rattle in the crowd ? Isn't a rat? tlesnake more skcery'n a copperhead ? Richard, I'm afeared you'vo ruined your? self and all of us, ef you haven't seriously embarrassed Andy Johnson, and if yon haven't dono any worst, you have made Vallandigham feel bad. Poor Val I I knew him in the times that tried men's souls. I saw him when ho was banished. I was a pickot on tho road between Mur physburra, whar Roseycranz was, and Shelbyvillo, whar Bragg was, when Val. was set down betweon tho lines by his patriotic brethren in blue. Wo found him on noutral ground, and he was lookin' considerable blue himself. The poor oxile of Erin nover looked moro lonesome than this errin' exilo. We treated him hospi tablo, however, and drank his helth in soveral bottles of red whisky, which some of his thoughtful frionds had given as a fartin' momorial. From that day to this have felt kindly for Val. (his lickcr was food and 'mindod me of homo.) His bo avior was handsomo thon all through, and though I haven't seon him senco to try what Kind of lickor ho drinks at homo, I will say that ho died gamo before the convention when ho wroto them that let? ter and offered himself up on the altar of his country. Pendleton and Long and Vorhios was outer'n Val. Thoy smelt a mice. And so the Convention closed with a platform and address. Thon I read that both of 'ora was made up by the same! man. Although he may bo tho man of the Timos it's a specorlation if ho's tho man for the times. I have to take off my spectacles and wipo 'om with my buckskin and then putom on and wonder if it was Raymond sure onough. Why, if I don't disremombor he has been speak in one way and votin another all thro tho last Congross?speakin for Andy Johnson and votin agin him. But he's a right port sort of a man, and as ho's used to writin I would not bo a particle surprised if the next Philadelphy Convention?tho Radical, Nigger Jack Hamilton Conven? tion?to moet in September would got him to do tho sarao thing for thorn. But fur bo it from mo to say anything agin this gellorious band of patriots.? Tnoy have dono a big businoss. They havo sot tho ball in motion. They have kindled anu tho firos of patriotism. Thoy havo indorsed Andry Johnson. Thoy have killed tho Radicals by resolution, and they havo restored the Union by tho same. Whero is the American eaglo ? majestic old burred I Wake up old follow and flop your wings for day's breakin and tho chickon's crowin. Possum Hollow, Aug. 17,1866. ?-? Life and Death.?Lifo is but death's vestibule; and our pilgrimago on earth is but a journey to the grave. The pulse that prosorvos our being beats our dead march, ami tho blood which circulates our life, is floating onward to tho depths of death. To-day wo sco our frionds in hoalth; to-morrow we hoar of thoir do coaso. Wo clasped tho hand of tho strong man but yesterday, and to-day we closo his eyes. Wo rode in a chariot of comfort but an hour ago, and in a few moro hours tho last black chariot must convey to us to tho homo of all tho living. Oh, how closely allied is death to life I The lamb that sportoth in tho field must soon foci tho knife. Tho ox that lowoth in tho pasturo is fattening for tho slaughter.? Treos do but grow that thoy may be fell? ed. Yes, and greater things than these feel death. Empires rise and flourish; thoy flourish but to decay, thoy rise but to fall. How often do we take op tho volnmo of history and read of tho rise and fall of cmpiros I We hear of tho coronation and of tho death of kings. Death is the black sorvant who rides behind tho chariot of life. See lifo, and doathrisos closo behind it. Death rcachoth far throughout this world, and hath stampod all torrcstial things with the broad arrow of tho grave. Stars die mayhap; it is said that confla? grations have boon soon far off in tho other, and astronomers havo marked the j futuro of othor worlds?tho decay of thoso mighty orbB that wo havo imagined sot forovor in sockots of silver to glisten as the lamps of eternity. But blessed bo God, there is one placo whero death is not life's brothor?whero life reigns alone; "to live" is not tho first syllable which is to be followed by tho next "to dio." Thoro is a land whero tho dark knells are never tolled, where graves arc nover dug. Blost must die.?Jackson Mississippian. A "Tbue Bill.?Dr. H. Hinkloy, wri? ting from his "Prairio Cottage," Alabama, to the Southern Ruralist, gives, in a fow pithy and pertinent words, our agricul? tural needs in the South : "Small farms, good implements, hotter tillage and manures, must be resorted to, and tho proprietor must learn to take his own coat off and pitch in whenever he finds it necessary. * * * * All lands over and above tho capacity of the owner to till himself, should be rentod to good, industrious white men. All labor-saving implements and improvements, in-doors and out, should bo introduced?better stock, also, and moro attontion paid to grass and pasturago. 'Cotton on tho brain/ will kill a good many farmers, and should bo avoidod." An Infamous Sentiment.?In a speech at Springfield, Illinois, a low days ago, Gen. Logan said: "There is but one way to treat with rebels. Take tho torch in one hand and the sword in tho other, and march to the music of the Union, with the flag un? furled, and swoep over their territory. He had no sympathy for tho leading I traitors, no commisseration for them. ! He could forget no man who had beon maimed in this war for the Union, and he could forgive no man who had fought against it. If elected to Congress ho would carry out what he had said. He couldjnot forgive the South." -o ? A dentist at work at his profession always looks down in the mouth. BUSINESS CARDS. Clark & White's FURNISHING STORE. NEW SPRING AND SUMMER GOODS!
