existing as a clerk in a small town in Illi
nois. The people of this city who drag

Nearly ever small town has what

Association. This peculiar institution
makes a specialty of pairing off the mar
riageable people of the place, selecting
their wedding outfits, groomsmen and
bridesmaids, providing their future quar
ters, and attending to the general details
of the ceremony without consulting the
parties interested. The fact that they
miss their guess nine times out of ten
does not seem to impair their usefullness
in the slightest, they keep on guessing
for the pure love of the thing, and cack"
le and shake their wise heads when they
do happen to bit the mark in a way that
is calculated to make sensible people
weary of life.

Tnliappy Facility of Expression.
Some people have suck an unhappy facility
Of expression, combined with slipshod meth
ods of thought, that they aro likely to in
dulge in speech which it would "puzzle a
Dutchman" to translate. The "History of
Weare, New Hampshire," refers to a loqua
cious townswoman who reversed tho old
maxim, and "went ahead' without being
sure she was right.
One of her stories was to the effect that
her husband sowed some flax, which camo
up aud grew, until the frost struck it and
blighted every spear.
Then the worms took it and ate it all up;
then the drought took it and killed it all. and
when they camo to pull it they didn't have
half a crop. After fiat they rotted it, and
her husband done out some of Jit, and ic
wa'n't good for nothing.
Then they let it lay a year, and it was tho
best Car she ever see. She used somo of it
to make cloth for her husband's shirts.
"It was cotton linen cloth. It was tow
warp, and the warp was filling, and the Lluo
was yaller, and it was dyed in huckleberry,
and it was thick as the table. It woro splen
didly, and. my husband liked the shirts so
well that he wore them all out in a f ort
