In the years agone, when De 'Witt

a right smart village in 'the woods, or
on the way to bo, the editor of its week*
ly paper had some subscribers who paid
in wood, others .in produce, others in
fur, and others yet who didn’t pay at
all. Ono'of these latter class was named
Lemon, but to squeeze anything out of
him was next to impossible. He hail
excuses at hk tongue’s end for upt pay
ing, and the longer the debt stood the
more reasonable hk excuses seemed to
his creditors. One day the editor met
him on the street, and, after a general
greeting, began on him wfQi:
“Mr. Lemon, you hare been owing
me for two years."
“ Ye\ bnt I had bad Iqfk in my augar-

“But you migfaT’have brought wood."
“So I should, but I broke two new
axes and couldn’t buy another.”

and corn.” .
“I know, but tha orowa ate my corn

“Well, how are you fatting along

“The conversation was protracted,
and the restless Sheridan, not used to

of hk old comrades in the rebel army.

were told to the writer by the son of an
American statesman at the highest
rank : A score of years ago in England
they dined with a lady of very high
birth, wearing nobly a very high title,
and, in the course of conversation, the
English woman aaked the wife of the
Aimarinsn statesman if she had traveled
much in the United State, following thk
up with the farther question : “ Then
1 suppose yon have seen, haven’t you,
the famous waterfall at Nicaragua?"
On another occasion, an English lady
at almost equal rank said to her Ameri
can skier: “I do wish you would tell
what are the great lakes of America.
Of course," she added, after a pause,
“of course I know Wenham lake; but
what are the others ?"
