Two women leaned over the backyard fence (The same old fenee) an the huh went down, While each told the other in confidence The scandals she'd gathered about the town. For women must gossip or they can't sleep; They think that secrets weren't made to keep; So they lean on the fenee in |he gloaming. Two women leaned over the pinion gate In the evening glow as the sun went down; They wondered what made their husbands so late, And they sneered at the minister's wife's new gown. !

A colored gentleman whom he desired for some purpose undertook to give him leg hale. The Captain, feeling in specially good trim and not wishing to have any slow going sort of affair, tired his pistol several times. Now it is known of all men that nothing makes a negro so nimble of neei as xo snoot at mm. Alter the negro had been put to his best speed and had gotten a fairly good start ahead the Captain gave himself full rein and picked him up in short order. It isva great pity the timekeepe* was not on hand for it is certain this would have registered a record breaker. A Card.

Littleton, the defender of the young millionaire, told at luncheon a story about a juryman, says the New York Times. "It was in the far west," he said, "in the distant days before our western percentage of illiteracy had fallen to l)e the lowest in the world. "A juror bad been selected in a murder trial, and they were al>out to swear him in when the judge, to be on the snfe side, bethought himself to say to the man: " T trust sir, you fully understand the duties and responsibilities of a juror?' Straightening himself up to his full height the man nodded calmly orwl W<lli?). I nii'i I " 'I'm a plain chap, and I believe, in being fair to all. I don't go by what tiie lawyers say, and I don't go by what the judge says, but 1 look carefully at the prisoner in the dock, and I say to myself: 'He must have done something or he wouldn't la; here,' so I bring 'em all in guilty.'

And as age with its infirmaties, not to say Oslerism creeps upon us, our minds turn to the retrospection and reminiscence. I am basking in such reveries today?it's so inclement outdoors. I am living over again my early boyhood days at old Goshen. I love those dear girls and boys who were my playmates and schoolmates away back in the "forties" and "fifties." A few still live upon those old hills, good men and women. There we dabbled our feet in the big spring branch, and went fishing and swimming in Padgetts Creek and the Tyger. On those hills we felt the "swelling of the heart, we near can feel again." There we romped and played town ball, loved and hated, fought and hugged. There we fought the yellow jacket's nest, and chased the nimble bumblebee, and cut our highest capers when we turned him loose again. Then we went 'possum hunting and tooted the lonesome toot of the old dinner horn. We filled our pockets with chinquapins aind let the girls win them all playing hull-gull. Could 1 now call arikind me the tow-heads and freckled noses who were my playmates in the long ago, methinks the love feast and experience meeting would continue until the rising of tomorrow's sun. A majority of those dear l>oys and girls have passed over the river, others are scattered the wide world over. All have made good useful citizens so far as 1 know, some have risen to fortune, others are doing reasonably well and the rest, the writer included, are?er, well?we owe no man anything, nave a comfortable home and have something for charity and the churches. Dear ones; we may never meet again in this world, but as I go rambling down, the little that remains of me, the corridors of time, doing my little stunts in the cakewalk of life, a thought as sweet as the perfume of the violets will come to me as often as I think of my lifelong friends in old Union county and more especially those of Goshen Hill where the halcyon days of my life were spent.

When I was ! younger, I used to sleep eight hours. ! and frequently when I was very ' tired I could use nine. Hut there | came a time a few years ago when i I discovered that seven hours' sleep ; was ordinarily all that I required, i ^Now, I mentioned this fact cas| ually one day to a friend of mine, and he said that this was one of the benefits that came to men as they increased in years?that requiring less 6leep they had more time for labor and so could accomplish more, and that this was one reason why men of rnaturer years were counted | as of greater value. "A pleasant fancy, that, ] thought. "Another friend of mine said more plainly that my requiring less sleep was a sign of my advancing age; that very young people, young children, required a great deal of sleep; that as people grew older they required less, until in middle life they needed, say eight hours of t sleep, but that as men came to be past middle age they required less , sleep and my needing less simply | showed that I was getting old. I "Not quite so pleasant, that, but j ! here is a new complication: "I find within the last few 1 months that I am again requiring more sleep. Whereas for some years 1 seven hours I found sufficient, 1 now 1 sleep eight hours. And what docs that mean? Does it mean that 1 have stopped growing old, that 1 am J growing young again or that I am i advancing now to my second child! hood ? "Il'm! This sleep business 1 j guess 1 hadn't better dwell on too much."?New York Sun. I The One He Kept. A young man entered a hat store ' and asked to see the latest styles i in derbies. He was evidently hard to.please, for soon the counter was covered with hats that he had tried on and found wanting. At last the salesman picked up a brown derby, brushed it off on his sleeve and extended it admiringly. "These are being very much worn this season, sir," he said. "Won't you try it on?" The customer put the hat on and surveyed himself critically in the, mirror. "You're sure it's in style?" ' "The ni0T?t fashionable thing we , have in the shop, sir. And it 6uits | you to perfection?if the fit's I right." "Yes, it fits very well. So you think I had better have it?" "I don't think you could do better." "No, I don't think I could. So 1 ; guess I won't buv a new one, after all." The salesman had been boosting i the customer's old hat, which hud 1 become mixed among the many new i ones. I ' Calming Him Down. i I "If women just had a little tact and didn't fly to pieces their own 1 selves when their husbands git to ' jawin' and tearin' around, there'd ! i be less trouble in fam'lies," said 1 Mrs. Grim to a neighbor. | "I suppose that's so," replied the | neighbor. j "I know 'tis," replied Mrs. Grim. "Do you suppose I lose my head ! und my tongue and go all to pieces and say things I'm sorry for after- ' ward when Grim gets into one of j his tantrums? Well, I don't. I j just keep cool and calm him down." "flow do you talm him down?" <<117^11 A: ?'At. - i* * huh, t>u men rues witn "a buck and aghn with a broom handle, or mcbbe I'll grab up a pail o' water and douse it all over him. There's plenty o' wave to calm a man down if a woman will only keep cool herself and try 'cm."?Strand Magazine. The Thunderer. It is not perhaps generally known under what circumstances the name of Thunderer was applied to the London Times, says a correspondent of the New York Herald. Two la- ; dies of Kew were splashed with mud i bv an ill behaved horseman, and the Times, taking the matter up, in a leading article vigorously denounced : the rudeness of the rider, alleged to i be the Duke of Cumberland. On the allegation proving false another article appeared by way of apology, I in which occurred the phrase "we , thundered out." . This irrandilo- I quence caught the public fancy, and ' the name Thunderer followed as a matter of course. Justly Indignant. A new made widow called at the office'of an insurance company for the money due on her husband's policy. The president said, "I am truly sorry, madam, to hear of your loss." "That's always the way with you men," said she. "You are always sorry when a poor woman gets a chance to make a little money." |REAL E 1 FOR f $ A. B. Osborne's Home 1 $ Acres of Land. 2 I. M.
