Agricultural Courtship. The potato went out on 4 mash, And sought an onion bed ; That’s pie for me!’ observed the equash And all the beets turned red ; ‘Go’ way,’ the onion weeping cried ; ‘You're love I cannot be; The pumpkin be your lawful bride, You cantelope with me!’

But onward still the tuber came, And lay down at her feet ;

“You cauliflower by any name,

And it will smel! as wheat; And I, too, am an early rose ; And you I’ve come to see; So don't turn up your lovely nose But spinachot with me !’

‘I do not carrot all to wed; So go, sir, if you please ?

The modest onion meekly said; And lettuce, pray, have peas! Go, think that you have never seen Myself, or smelled my sigh! Too long 4 maiden I have been

For favors in your rye.’

‘Ab, spare @ cuss!’ the tuber prayed ; ‘My cherryshed bride you'll be! You are the only weeping maid That's currant now with me!’ And as the wily tuber spoke, He caught her by surprise, And giving her an artichoke, Devoured her with his eyes.

He Captured the Prize.

The other morniug a boy about 14 years ofage knocked at the door of» house on Fitzroy street and asked the woman ifshe didn’t want the ssow cleaned off the walk.

‘How much ”’ sbe cautionsly inquired.

‘Thirty cents,’

‘Ll won't pay it. the work for 10 cents ahead.’

He leaned on the handle of his snow shove! and looked thoughtful and she finally queried ;

‘Well what do you say?

‘It’s just as that woman around the corner told me,’ he replied. ‘I shoveled off her snow and she gave me 50 cents, [ told her [ was coming to ask you and she said—

‘I don’t want ness is it to her!’

Yes but—’ ———

What did she say ?

‘She said I'd get left. She said that any woman who wore 4 plush sacque and passed itoff for a $300 sealskin would be mean enough to go out nights and shovel her own snow.’

‘Boy |’ whispered the woman as she turned white clear eround her neck, ‘I want you to clean off the snow. When youare through l'il give you 4 silver dollar, and I want you to go around and tell that woman that any one who bays and wears dollar store jewelry and i4 shilling shoes, hasn’t sense enough to fall off a bob-tailed car.

A Customer for Thunder Rods.

“You see,” said the farmer to lighteniog-rod agent, “it ain’t lightenin that I’m afraid of, it’s thunder. Thun- der allers paralyzes me Idon't want no lightnio’ rods,”

“Well,” admitted the agent, “I think myself that thunder is the more danger- ous of the two. What you want is thunder rods,”’

“Have you got thunder rods 1”

“Oh, yes; the brass tipped rods are tor lightening and the nickle tipped for thunder; batthe latter cost a little more.”

“I guess you kin put up a few of them thunder rods, said the farmer. “I don’t mind payin’ a little extry so long as I feel safe.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE,

~ stallion ‘‘ BLACK PILOT” can be

found at the owner's stable, North River, until the opening of navigation, when he will start for Kentville, N. &., where he intends to make the season of 1886.

Parties on the Island, desiring the service of the fastest trotting stallion ia the Maritime Provinces, Would do well to come early and raise valuable colts. As you are all aware, Black Pilot, being a green colt, entered the trotting circuit last autumn, starting in five different races, winning first money in four, and making for himself a record of 2.334 on a half-mile track. But this is no measure of his speed, as he has repeatedly shown trials 1 2.26 and bids fair, with judicious training, to win laurels for hitnself that will never be forgotten by turfmen.
