Are you a Thco-ophist?"' inquired a
St. Louis lady of a brilliant Bostoui-
cune, who was visiting her.
'A what?" ejaculated the ouni la.
dy from the Hub.
Why a Theosophis:?"
"Oh, dear, no; we lmvc no such thing

"Insuparable objections to Cleveland
other than political was the enigmatical
way John Kelly put it when he was in
Chicigo. But his riddle is no longer
hard to re id. In the linht of the ex
posure made by the Rev. Dr. Ball and
others, its meaning is perfectly plain.
"My darling, you have n'jver kissed
me yet' he said.
"Haven't I?" she answered with a
gurgling.laugh.
"Xever," he repeated, 4iaud I wish
you wotiU now, will you?"'
And he did.
Ah! he .ag1 ed, '-how sweet it ia to
feil the i re-sure of your warm lips on
my cheek." "Do you know why my
111 sjare so warm? she asked.
"Becus3 because,'' he stammered,
"Because," she brofce in, "no ice
cream has passed them for ever so long."
He took the hint.

A stock yards small boy thoughtless
ly ejaculated, while at tha breakfast ta
ble a few mornings since, "O, dear,
how I sweat!" quite to the horror of a
youthful nnd very precise aunt, who re
proved him for making use of so inele
gant and impolite a term, "O, yes, I
know all about it," he replied, in an im
patient manner and petulant tone

Young husband. J'How thouLtful
you are of my comfort, loco. I little
knew what a treasure I was getting.
Bride. ' I certainly am trying to be a
good lfe, dear, but to w hat do you
particularly refer?"
"To that circular block of marble ycu
had cut for me."
"Marble?"
"Yes; when I said we needed a step
ping stone out in front on account of
the height of the carriage, I had no
idea yon would relieve ine of the troub
le of getting it."
"Stepping-stone?,'
"Yes, you left it on the sidt board to
surprise me, didn t you love ? But I
saw it. and the gardener and I carried it
out and put it in position; but it was
very dangerous to allow the quarrymen
to place such a great weight on the
sideboard. It might have broken it."
" Circular stepping-stone mirble

Men are not to be judged by their
looks, habits and appearances, but by
the character of their lives and conver

that a man's own works than that an
other msn's words should praise him.
Or all heavy bodies the heaviest is
the woman whom we have ceased to
ove.
A woman whose husband was recent
y sent to the Arkansas penitentiary
wrote the following loye letter to her
oved one:
"I don't like to shake you now that
you are in trouble, but under the cir
cumstances it is the best thing I can
do. The man vou stole the hoe from.

sented to marry him. I am getting
tired of the neighbors throwing it up
to me that my husband is in the'pTa.''
I'm going to marry this fellow quietly.

Your husband's in the 'pen " I can

Henry Watier3on, a few days before
the convention wrote: The longer
Gr.over Cleveland has 1-eec-n before the
people the more he has weakened."
This was the truth at the time and was
prophetic cf the condition since th
convention.
Said brigLt eyed little Jnlin, a Queen
City gl of five summers, who was
giving evidence of some bodily pain,
when asked by her mother if 6he had
tb.9 back ache: "Xo mamma, but I've
got the front ache."

"You may rend saddle "1" ni:ttn for

Butcher Ve, madam. Wi.at kind
will it be?"
"Well, as my husband is away, and
there 19 no one in the house but mother
and myself aud the two servant i;irls,
you had better send up a side saddl, 1

When it (vintm to the election there
is no doubt but that Cleveland will yet
