I always thought I would like him for a bo rder.” Top-boots are all the spasm in New York now. The cream of Broadway wear tassels to them, and a sporting whip thrust out from the sidepocket completes the tableaux. Next thing we shall hear of will be gilt edged shirt collars. A witness in a liquor case at Man chester, N. II. the other day, gave the following testimony: “ Sal .soda is ice and water, and corns stuff squirted into it from a concern. Don’t know wheth er it is intoxicating or not—it makes one feel good—feet lift easier.” The following laconic epitaph, carved upon a Spanish tomb-stone, should be remembered : * I was well—tried to feel better—took physic, and here 1 ant.” W.

BISHOP* SON. A man was once arrested by a farmer for stealhg ducks. The farmer said he should know them anywhere, and went to describe the peculiarity,—‘Why, said^ the counsel for the prisoner, ‘they can’t be such a rare breed—I have some like them in my yard.’ ‘That’s very likely sir,’ said the farmer; ‘they are not the only ducks 1 have had stolen lately.’ To undertake to reason a girl out ot love is as absurd as would be the atlerapf to extinguish Vesuvius with a glass of water. Dr. Franklin used to say that rich widows were the only piece of second hand goods that sold at prime cost Gallant.—A lady, playing on t pianoforte, on being called on for a dead march, asked a celebrated pro fessor of music what she should play? lie replied, “ Auy inarch that you play will be a dead one, for you’re sure to murder it” Ifiisrellauq. A PRIVATE ROOM. OR, THE EFFECT OF PUNCn DRINKING. One particular dark, damp, dull, drizzly j|and disagreeable day in the latter part of November, a tall, gaunt, queer-looking customer, dressed in a blue coat, with metal buttons, with “yal- ler’ striped pantaloons, and calf-skin terminations, sat ‘‘ solitary and alone,” in-a little room, situated in a certain lit tle tavern, in—-—i-treet, Philadelphia. Before him was a little, round table, on whose marble top was «* not a little” pitcher of smoking punch, “screechen hot,” and a wine glass. The solitary individual was York—nothin’ else—dear —*nd that was his second pitcher fun—nigh his second empty. One minute after, and you couldn’t—fact, you see—have squeezed a drop out of either pitcher or glass, by a forty-two pounder hydraulic press. York rang the bell, The waiter popped his head in the door, “ Ring, sa ?” •‘ Of course I did. Is it clearing off?” ** No sa—damp, sa—fog so thick, sa, you could ladle out ’ith a spoon, sa.— Have anything sa?” “ More punch, and strong.” " Yes, sa,—-immediately sa.” The waiter withdrew and in a few seconds’returned with the third pitcher of punch, and York was beginning to feel glorious, when, on raising up his eye?, he saw his own figure in n pier glass, directly opposite. He rubbed his eyes again. “ By thunder!” said he, ** here’s some fellow sitting right before me, I’ll swear there’s impudence for you! This is a private room, sir, for my sole accommo dation.” The Battle op Life,—Its several stage; may be «hu« defined* Court ship is the engagement or siege, the proposal is the assault, and matrimony the victory. And what comes after matrimony? Why, lam sure I don’t know,unless.it is the Te Deum (indium) that comes after most victories.” Ground and Un-ground Feed. Those experienced and skilful farmers the Lebanon (N. H.) Shakers, state that more than 30 years practice leads them to estimate ground corn at one- third higher than unground, as food for cattle, and especially for fattening pork. The same experience also induces them to put a higher value upon cooked than upon raw meal; and for fattening ani mals, swine particularly, they consider 3 of cooked equal to 4 bushels, of raw meal. Until within the last three or four years they have fattened annually, for 30 years, from 40,000 to 50,000 pounds of pork, exclusive of lard and offal; and their constant habit has been to cook the meal. A True mother.—A writer beauti fully remarks that a man’s mother is the representative of his Maker. Misfortune and mere crime set no barriers between her and her son. While his mother lives, a man has one friend on earth who will not desert him when he i? needy. Her affection flows from a pure fountain and ceases only at the Jocean of eternity. He waited a minute, expecting an answer, but liis reflection only stared at him and held its peace. **I was saying, sir, that this is my private roj.m, mine, sir,” cried York, fetching his voice an octave higher than it was before. No answer was made, and he rang the bell furiously. The waiter made his appearance again. “ Ringsa ?” 44 Yes 1 did ring. Did’nt I a»k for a private room ?** • ** Yes sa, this is a private room, sa.’* ** It is! Why there’s a fellow sitting right opposite me now, on the other side of the table. Rot his impudence.” “Table, sa—fellow, sa?” •‘‘Yes there is. Well, just never mind. Bring on some more punch and a couple of glasse.” In a very short time, tbe|fourth pitch er, with two glasses, made its appear ance. York filled one of the glasses, and then shoved it over the table. “ Will you drink, said he addressing the figure in the glass. “ Oh you won’t eh ? Well, I-I will* And so.be did. “ Better drink, old fellow,” continued he. *• Your liquor is getting cold,” and you look as if you was fond of the thing.” No answer being returned, York finish ed the pitcher, and rang the bell again. In popped the waiter, •* Ring sa.” “ To be sure 1 did. Did’nt you h»*ar the b-b-bell ?” ‘ “I did.” “ Did’nt I order a -p-p-prhrate room ? Eh ?” “ Yes, 6a, this is a private room, sa.” •* A pretty private room this is, with a f-f-fellow {sitting right opposite that won’t take a glass of punch when it’s offered him, aud a r-r-red nosed man at that O, well, never mind, bring me more punch, and t-t-tuto biers. I’ll try him again.” Presently pitcher number 5,,and glass es to match, was borne in with doe state. “ Belter try some, old boy,” said York, coaxingly, to his double.The reflex merely looked good natured, but said nothing. “ Well, continued York, with a sigh, if this is’nt the most infamous, Ivever mind, I’ll drink the punch.” * And so he did, every bit of it. About five minutes sufficed to end the pitcher. York rang the bell superfuriousiy. The waiter came again. f t J^J n cr ^ ? * <• Why! certain. Why should’nt I 7 Where’s the man—who keeps the— place?” “ Boss, sa 7 I’ll see ’im sa. Shortly r.fter, mine host, a quiet-look ing little man, with a mottled, calico- patterned face and a shining bald head, made his appearance. ***** m W-w-what’s to pay?” demanded York, rising and assuming an air of dignity. , . . „ “ Five punches—five levies, sir. >t There’s the money, sir,” said York, forking over the coin. “ And now I want to know why, when I call for a private room, you should put me here with s-s-somebody else ?” .« There’s nobody here but you and I, sir!” » Nobody !. Do you s-s-sposc 1 can t see? Do you think 1 am drunk? There, look there ! two of ’em by jingo J” ? m Well, sir, I must confess I can t see any but us two.” jfe “You can’teh?” And York dragged “ Look to the the land-lord to the table, there,” continued he, pointing glass. “Th-th-theie’s the rascils now. One of ’ems enough like you to be your brother, and the other is the mos Lord- forsaken, meanest looking white man I ever saw.” OLD, BUT GOOD. Soon after the revolutionary war, Capt. P., a brave Yankee office?, was at St Petersburg, in Russia, anti while there, accepted an invitation to dine; there was a large number at table, and among the rest an English lady, who wished to appear one of the knowing ones. ■- * This lady, on understanding that an American was one of the guests, ex pressed to one of her friends a deter mination to quiz him. She fastened on him like a tigress, making many in quiries respecting our habits, customs, dress, manners, and modes of life, edu cation, amusements, etc., etc. To her questions Capt. P. gave answeis that satisfied all the company except the lady ; she was determined not to be satisfied, and the following short dialogue took place: Lady.—Have tbn rich people in your country any carriages? For I suppose there are some that call themselves rich. Capt. P.—My residence is in a small town upou an island, where there are but few carriages kept—but in the larger towns and cities on the main land, there are a number kept in a style suited to our republican manners. Lady.—I can’t think where you find drivers—I should not think the Ameri cans knew how to drive a coach. Capl. P.—We find no difficulty on that account, madam; we can have a plenty of drivers by sending to England for them. Lady —(speaking very quick)—I think the Americans ought to drive the English, instead of the English driving the Americans. Capt P.—We did, madam, in the last war, but since pence we permit the Eng lish to drive us! The lady half, cht ked with anger, stood mute a minute, and then left the room, whispering to her friend, “ the Yankees are too much for us in the cabinet as well as in the field.” “ How do you keep books?”—■“ By double entry. I make one entry and father makes another.” Several children have recently re ceived at the baptismal font the name of Hiawatha.
