"A bird in the hand ta worth

Is a double-eyed saw that has
passed through the land,
But you should not forget when
making a rush,
That a thorn in the lush is
worth two in the hand.

BEAR STORIES.
Mr. Inman Explains ai^
rent Lack oi Consistency
the Narrative.
Some eighty years ago l1
lived in a small log lious
Peltoma Point, at Pittsfi
Mass., a man by the nam
Inman. My grandfather w
J. vas a small boy, showed
the site of the old house
told me the following stor
true: lnman was too lazj
hui'rt much, but would h
around all day for a drin
rut* and tejl bear stories.
this time bears were quite p
ty iti this region and o
troubled our sheep and c
On« fall a nervous, quick st
ger came to Col. Lancy's ta^
from Boston to kill a few be
He stepped up to the bar
tailed for a drink (this, be it
membered, was wav back t
ard "the good old colony tii
when we were under the
king," and new rum was sold
openly for only 3 cents a glass),
and inquired where he could go
to shoot a b^ar.
This brought Inman to the
front—bears ?" He knew ! The
very man the stranger wanted.
"Will you take a drink ?" Yes,
he would. After telling his
wondrous feats in slaughtering-
bears, and taking several drinks,
the stranger said : "Mr. Inman,
how large a bear did you ever
see?" Up to thia 'time the ad-
miration was rputual; the
stranger had futiiished the rum
and dinner, vt:id Mr. Inman the
bears. "Well, sir, the biggest
bear I ever see, I killed in 1801.
You see, I had a line place of
corn on the side of the hill, and
when it got tuil in the milk a
bear began to break it down. I
watched him three nights to
shoot him, but he kept away.
I guess he knew me. Well, be
that as it may, I took my ax
and started out to make a bear
trap, for when I don't fetch 'em
one way I try another, and
there Was Mr. bear breaking
down my corn at a great rate.
I started for him and he, ran
down the hill between two rows
of corn, and gained on me every
uiiuute till he came to the fence,
which was seven feet high, arid
jumped clear over it into a
great snow drift, and went into
it all out of sight, and when he
poked his head out of the snow
1 knocked him over wita my ax
"Mr. Inman, that was a queer
country where you lived. Corn
in the milk on one side of the
fence, and a great snow dtift on
the other." Old Inman stopped
and scratched his head, with a
puzzled look, and said, very
slowly, "I guess, Mister, I have
got holt, of parts of two stories."

Buttermilk and Crime.
[Lime Kiln Club.]
The secretary then announced
an official communication from
the secretary of the Anti Butter-
milk Society, of Dnpont Banks,
Del.,asking to be admitted to
the Lime Kiln Club as a body,
with authority to work on the
third degree. The letter of ap-
plication announced ih« fact
that the society was of the

bane of the present age. In-

Train-robbers, burglars, cow-
boys, and all the prominent
embezzlers wire buttermilk
drinkers and Jthe society had
started on a crusade which
would not end until the churn
was forbidden Iby law.
The seceetary was instructed
to reply that the Lime-Kiln
club did not care foi such an
alliance, having used butter-
milk for the last seven years
with the most gratifying results.

Eunny Verdicts.

several years. In my m
