Extract from the column of a country
paper: "Will the person who took the
thermometer from the front of this office,
please return it, as it does not register
high enough to he of any use where he is
goinp,." Ex.
An old negro died and went to heaven,
on his arrival he knocked at the golden
gate. Peter answering, said, "Who
conies here?" "George Washington Van
luren," he replied. "Have you always
been a good Christian?" said Peter.
"Kinder average," said the old man.
"Did you ever steal watermelons?" said
Peter. "No" he replied, "they neyerdid
somehow agree with me." "Did you
ever steal chickens?" he still questioned.
"No, sir," said the old man emphatically.
"Sure?" said Peter. "Sure," he replied:
"Well, I guess I'll let you in," said Peter.
The man passed in, chuckling to himself,
"That was a pretty close shave when he
spoke of the chickens. If he had ever
said ducks he'd a had me."
