LITTLE LAUGHS.
HIS OCCUPATION. "My dear," said the banker to his only daughter, "I have noticed a young man attired in a dress suit in the drawing-room on two or three even ■ ings every week of late. What is his occupation?" The little miss blushed prettily, and her dark eyes flashed mischievously, but there was keen pride and joy in her voice as she answered—"He is at present unemployed, father; but he is thinking seriously of accepting a position as life companion to a young lady of means." TRULY RURAL. * "I don't like your milk," said the mistress of the house. "What's wrong with ii mum?" "It's dreadfully thin, and there's no cream on it." "Ar'ter you've lived in the city a while, mum," said the milkman encouragingly, "you'll get over them rooral ideas of yourn." CHECKING OVER.
