We saw a venerable looking cow yesterday, says theCincinnati Herald, eating pine sawdust, under the impression that it was bran. She didn't find out her mistake until night, when it was found that she gave turpentine instead of milk.
The following story of "Life in Kentucky" being in print ought, of course to be believed:—"Early one morning the shouts and cries of a female were heard. All ran to the spot. When they arrived they saw a man and a bear engaged in combat. They had it hip and thigh, up and down, over and under, the man's wife standing by and hallooing 'fair play.' The company ran up and insisted on parting them. 'No, no,' said the woman, 'let them fight it out; for it's the first fight I ever saw that I didn't care which whipped!'"
Ambitionis as hollow as the soul of an echo.
Tide, steamboats, and soda-water will wait for no one.
Bigfeet, like a leather shirt, are more for use than ornament.
Moneyslips from the fingers like a water-melon seed, travels without legs, and flies without wings.
Itis the lot of humanity to err at times, as the drunken man said when he mistook the pig-pen for his bedroom.
A gooddeed will stick out, with an inclination to spread, like the tail of a peacock.
Youmight as well undertake to whistle a grape-vine from a white oak, as to induce a girl to relinquish her lover.
Asbig as all out of doors.Asdry as the clerk of a lime-kiln.Aslong as a thanksgiving sermon.Ascrooked as a Virginian fence.Asstraight as a loon's leg.Asstraight as a shingle.Assharp as the little end of nothing.Asslick as greased lightning.Asswelling as a basket of chips.Ashappy as a clam at high water.Astight as the bark of a tree.Ascrazy as a bed-bug.Asmad as all wrath.Aswrathy as a militia officer on a training-day.Asproud as a tame turkey.Asmelancholy as a Quaker meeting-house by moonlight.Asuseless as whistling psalms to a dead horse.Likeall nature.Likeall fury.Likeall possessed.Thrashinground, like a short-tailed bull in fly-time.Headand tail up, like chicken cocks in laying-time.
