A Flea in lied.
There are some folks that fleas won't bite,
but Alonzo Fleet, a married cilizeu of Dan
ville, La., has spent the greater part of his
life, after sundown, looking for fleas.
It ia excetdingly annoying to Mrs. Fleet.
Just as hlic gets the baby to sleep, and has
folded her own hands, in blissful slumber,
Fleet slips out of bed, fe;t foremost, and
buutp he hits the floor, witli a half-whispered
remark on his Hps:
"Thedurned fleas."
" You have awakened me again, Mr. Fleet ;
I believe you are trying to wear me oat. Here
I h-id just got to sleep, and am now so ncrv
ous I shan't sleep any more this night. What
in the world are you niter?"
' Marv. there's a flea on mo somewhere;
vou know I can't sleep when there are fleas
in the bed," and Fleet sirucn a inai.cn.
" I don't believe there's any ilea hero at
all; it's just a notion of your own; you can'l
sleep yourself, and you won't let anybody
else."
Pon my word, Mary, (Fleet approached
with the candle,) ha! there be goes now 1 Oh!
the little devil! Now I've got him!" and
Fleet grabbed the tail of his shirt, setting the
candle by the bed, while be wet the place so
as to see the Ilea, ana men siuck a nccuie
through it, and showing it to his wife, said
in some triumph, "You call that a notion, my
dear? call that a flea."
"Mr. Fleet, take that candle away from
the baby's eyes," cried out Mrs. -Fleet, Just
as the baby woke up, ad the music com
menced." " I'll rock her, Mary," murmured Fleet.
" You rock her ! No, sir, never ! I'll rock
her invself: it's just what I am for; I, Marv
Thompson, married Alonze Fleet to suffer
tcr him, to uruuge tor him. uy nay ana by
night. My life's no more than a flea to him.
What cares he if I die? llooty-tooty, isn't
Mr. Fleet young and strong, and handsome,
and couldn't he soon get another wife?" And
Mrs. Fleet lifted up her voice and wept like
a hard rain.
Fleet put on his breeches and took a chew
of tobacco, and as he walked to "spit out,"
he said seriously, he wished every flea on
earth was at the uevil ; that he wasn't long
for this world, if Mary lived, and the lleas
continued to hop around at night.
Mrs. Fleet told a Danville friend next day
that Mr. Fleet provoked her so hunting fleas
at night, that she sometimes told him she
believed he was after wanting her to " Flee
as a bird to .Mount Lion." lliey laughed
and told her she was always saying some
thing funny. Vickuburg Herald.
A Discouraged Ktlitor,
lie was a sad-eyed, meek-faced man, and
we supposed he merely wished to give us a
news item ; but when he commenced telling
us about a building a barn on his ranch l'JUx
2S0 feet, seven stories high and ornamented
with bay windows, we thought it was time to
check him, and so we commenced:
" Well, wc must admit that that is a pretty
largo barn tor this country, bat back in the
btates our tathcr built a barn Jloxzw leet,
nine stories high und furnished with steam
elevator; the "
" Back in the States," interrupted our list
ener. " Why, that wasn't much of a barn for
the States. I remember now, that when I
was quite young my father built a chicken
coop 550x833 feet. I don't recollect how
many stories it was high, but I know there
was a cupola on it for the roosters."
"About how high was that cupola?'' we
asked.
" I don't remember the exact height now,
mister," was the reply, " but I know it was
so high that the fourteen upper tiers of roos
ters died from the effects of the light atmos
phere the first night."
Then we went out and sat down on the
wood-iiilp and wondered whv somebodv was
always outstripping us in the race of fife.

A well Known clergyman was crossing
Lake Eric, many years ugo, upon one of the
lake steamers, and, seeing a small lad at the
wheel, steering the boat, accosted him as fol
lows :
" My son, you appear to be a small boy to
steer so large a bout."
" lcs, sir; but you see that 1 can do it,
though."
" Do you think j-ou understand your busi
ness, my son ?"
" ics, sir, I think 1 do."
" Can you box the compass?"
" Yes, sir."
" Let me hear you box it."
Boy boxes the compass.
" Well, really, you can do it ! Let my hear
you box it backward."
Hoy boxes it backward.
4 I declare, my son, you seem fo understand
your business."
1 he boy now toon his turn question asK
ing. ' Pray, sir, what may be your business?"
" I am a minister of the Gospel."
' Do you understand your business?''
" I think I do, ray son."
" Can you say the Lord's Prayer?"
" Yes."
Say it."
Clergyman repeats the Lord's Prayer.
" Well, really, you do know it! Now say
it backward."
Ulcrgyman says he cannot do it.
" You can't do it, eh? Now, yon see, I un
dcrstand my business a great deal better than
you do yours!"
Clergyman acknowledged liimself beaten,
and retired.

Speaker Blain met Sam Uox yesterday and
said :
" I tell you what, Sain, tluy had a close

they?"
"Who wlintr" asked Sum.
" Why, Nellie Grant and Surtoris jut es
caped by the xiu of their teeth."
"Escaped wnat, Blaine?"
" Whv, they jnst escaped having twins."
" You don't swy so, Blaine! How near did
they come to it" exclaimed Mr. Cox.
' Why, they got within one of it, Sum," re
plied the Speaker in the most impressive
manner. "Ob more boy would have done
it."
