WIT AND WISDOM. Every mean thing you do, adds a half-pound of powder to the fire-works. In China the rebels have bulled the missionary market, now most any body with a Prince Albert and a little religion can get a job. There is about as much horse sense in writing "X-mas" for "Christmas" as there is defending blue and yellow as University colors. "Love; " writes H. S. Hadley to this office; " is something that makes a man sigh like a bad dose of asthma." The weather cleared last night; and it didn't take any eggs to do it either. An Atchison man is such a toper that whenever he sees the Big Dipper he takes a drink. One of our bald-headed professors paints a spider on his head every summer to keep the flies away. There is a very old fashioned student in school; report has it that she sleeps in a night cap with strings that tie under her chin. If your friend's speech seems to be a little queered at present, don't speak at it. He has entered the oratorical contest and is following the swath Demosthenes cut. He has some cobble stones in his mouth, which, if they do not choke him to death, will eventually improve his articulation. “Cards,” writes R. D. Brown to this office after much deliberation, forethought and careful research, having read all works on ethics and examined every code of moral laws; “ar. all right, if you beat.” There is something spicy about the devil with a cloven foot. Repentence is all right but material compensation for wrong done, goes a good deal farther. A man with a number of irons in the fire generally has his friends work the bellows. A woman may boast of being smooth but she will find a devil-may-care man some day who is just a little smoother. Won't the children have fine "playing house" with the souvenir spoon the boys blew themselves on when "Mama was a girl?" The only requirement you must have to sing in a church choir is that you can sleep through the sermon without snoring. If the old saying of "give the devil his dues" was carried out, Hades would be full in two weeks. Half the girls in town have got the rheumatism. The corresponding half of the boys are carrying buckeyes in their pockets. When in church we sing "Take my silver and my gold," and then drop a copper on the plate. If the fellow that stole our umbrella will call around we will give him the case that goes with it, also a box of powder to keep the gold head from getting brassy. We don't need them. Whenever your friends breath smells of cloves, you had best walk him around the block; it will do him good. Private Secretary, William Appleton Snow. B. S. can terrorize a malfactor with the same neatness and dispatch his illustrious, father uses on a like occasion. "Papa's pants will soon fit Willie." Santa Claus is a politic old rascal. If your present costs a good sum, he forgets to rub out the price mark. If any tree would bark the dogwood.—Pittsburg Chronicle Kansas to that. So Illinois Texas by surprise. Great Caesar's Ghost as he perambulated down the street in a sort of dog trot was heard to exclaim, while an expression like a mor'n-full frat man flitted across his Roman nose, "Great Jupiter, Thunder and Mud banks! if Hell is as deep as this Lawrence mud we Romans'll never get out." THE GEESE AND THE CRANES. It is sunrise; in the morn Stands a field of ripened corn; And the rich annual rays Of those sunny Kansas days Fill that field of ripened corn, With an opalescent haze; And the flocks of geese and cranes Pick the fallen, golden grains. It is noon-time; and the rays Of the Indian summer blaze, And the field of ripened corn, Much more shattered than at morn, Seems emerging from the haze; Fewer geese, but far more cranes, Pick the fallen, golden grains. It is evening; and the haze Of the short annual days, Like a mantle seems to rest On the dark and leaden west; Shattered is the field of maize; Homoward fly the geese; the cranes; Linger, picking golden grains. It is midnight; rain and sleet On the blackened landscape beat And there nothing now remains Of that field of standing corn; But through darkness sleet and rain, Comes the crying of the cranes, As they search through fields forlorn Fighting for the final grains. Hours the grain and life the field Where the golden grains are had And our habits, good and bad, Represent the geese and cranes. Eating up the golden grains. Few the habits that are best And they early go to rest; But through sheet and midnight rains. Heard the clamors are of cranes Fighting for the final grains. Boys' Suits and Pants.
