AT ANY COST
A darky preacher was lost in the happy selection of his text, which he repeated in vigorous accents of pleading.
"Oh, bredern, at de las' day dere's gwine to be sheep an' dere's gwine to be goats. Who's gwine to be de sheep, an' who's gwine to be de goats?"

"Oi'll be the goat. Go on; tell us the joke, Elder. Oi'll be the goat!"

Mrs. D---- decided to move into the country for the summer, and was both surprised and delighted to learn that an old friend of hers resided in the same place. Meeting this friend on the street, Mrs. D---- said:
"I am quite a near neighbor of yours now; I have taken a house by the river."
"Oh, I do hope you will drop in some day," replied the friend.
