“A gentleman riding in an eastern rail
road car which was rather sparsely supplied
with passengers, observed in the seat before

of whose face seemed to ask a question; and
a little circumstance soon proved that he
possesed a most ‘inquiring mind.’ Before
him occupying the entire Beat, sat a lady,
dressed in deep black, and after shifting his
position several times, and manoeuvring to
get ah opportunity to look is her face, he
at length‘caught her eye.’ lie nodded
familiarly to her, and asked, with a nasal
twang utterly incapable of imitation: ‘In
affliction?’ ‘Yes, Si r‘replied the lady; ‘Pa
rents?—father or mother?’ ‘No, Sir, said
the lady. ‘Child, perhaps?—a boy or gal?’
‘No, Sir, not a child,’ was the response, ‘I

they?’ asked the Yankee,his eyes brightening
up: ‘Pious man?’ he continued. “He was
a meberof the methodist church.’ The next
question was a little delayed; but it came :

be thankful that he was a pious man, and

the forgotten millions of the ear th was buried
there. Every vestige that we ever lived
upon earth will have vanished away. All

A Searching Operation.—“Billy, my
dear whare have you been at this time of
night to get your shirt turned wrong side
afore?” Well, I have been to an . auction
where a man lost his pocketbook; and they
shut the doors, and searched us all from
head to foot; that’s how I got my shift tum-
ed;-^glad to clear out any how-staid two
hours, and they hadn’t half .stript when I
left’em.” - •'
An Odd Prescription.—An apothecary’*
boy was lately sent to leave at one house a
box of pills, and at another six live fowls.
Confused on the way, he left the. pills
where the fowls should have gone, atid the
fowls at the pill place. The folks who receiv-.
ed the fowls were astonished at reading the
aecompaning directions—‘Swallow on*
every two hours.’
Woman-^h&ce is nothing,’.says Sir Sara*
uel Romily,“by which I have through life
more profited, than by the just observa
tions, the good opinion, and the sincere
and gentle encouragement of amiable and, C*
sensible woman.” 4
