night, and rather nervous; fie had
enlv worn down into aqiiiet snooze just as the boat
A jingled at Saybrook. He was not fairly awaken-
W ed by the first landing, but by the time the bell
had jingled and the boat had raked (gainst the
wharves at Lyme and Esses, respectivly, he was
thoroughly aroused. In a short time the pilot’s
bell again sounded, ting a ling, and our traveller,
thrusting bis bead out from, his berth, asked
“what place is this ?”
“East Haddam,” was the reply.
The usual packing, bumping and bustle was
soon over, and the boat again jogged on its way.
The traveler was trying to compose himself in
sleep, when the bell again smote his ear with its
ting a ling, gungle gung.
“What place is this ?” he asked of a pas
senger who was “thrashing” about the cabin, pre
paring to land.
“This is Haddam.” was the answer.
Again the traveler assayed to snatch a brief
moment of repose. Just as he was becoming in
sensible to the nippers of the bed bugs, the infer
nal bell gave another signal to stop the boat, and
another passenger tumbled out to make the laml-
ing.
“Whatplace is this P roared the traveler; losing
all patience.
“This is Old Haddam!”
“Any more Iladdams on this cursed river!”
“Two more—and then a dozeu more land
ings.”
“Two more, did you say 1”
“Yes—Middle Iladdam and Upper Haddam,
and then ”
“That’s enough!” shouted the traveler: “I wish
the devil had ’em I,’
Well Matched.
Recently a rich paver of the marais, married
his daugter to a herd driver, following which,
was a banquet at the Cordon Blue.
After the congratulations of parents and friends,
the nephew of the bride slipped under the table
like a serpent, and suddenly arose, exclaiming:
’ “A tooth! a tooth ! who has lost a tooth ?”
i “My sister,” bawled out the bride’s little brother,
“she lost it yesterday, and I found it.”
Tho poor bride, not knowing how to extricate
herself resorted to fainting. The relatives has
tened around, the old beldames titered, the misses
whispered, and tho finder of the tooth received a
cuff that made him see full three dozen stearine
candles.
As to the bridegroom; impossable, like the sage
of Horace, he besprinkled the fair bride with col
ogne and vinegar.
“Where am I?” muttered the poor girl, open
ing her eyes mul closing her lips.
“In the midst of your friends, and in your hus
band's arms.’
“What then has happened? monDieu!”
“Alas!”
“Something frightful, then?”
“Frightful, ’tia enouugh to make one pluck the
hair from bis head.”
Thus saying, the husband carried his clenched
hands to his waiving locks, and plucked oil—one
of Cortizat's magnificent wigs.
A burst of laughter followed this act of conjugal
heroism, and the wag of the company improvised
a couplet upon the future happiness of a pair thus
well matched.
Fred Douglass’s Aposlncy.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser learns from
the National Anti-slavery Standard, published in
New York, and which is known as the organ of
the out-and-outers of the Loyd Garrison school of
Abolitionists, that Fred Douglass, their great
mouth piece and model negro, (who, like Phillips
foamed and Foster ranted,at the anti-slavery meet
ings used to be put forth on the stage as the f right
ful example,) has cut his old friends, and gone over
to the Liberty party, Gerriit Smith be Cos. A co
temporary noticing this defection, says:
Hood, in his comic story of “Black. White
and Brown,” tells of a similar instance of ingrati
tude on the part of a fugitive. An old lady in
London, pious and unmarried, had such a horror
of slavery that she denied herself the luxury of su
gar in her tea, and would not allow any of that “wick
ed sweet” to be brought into her house. She once
found a colored sister in the street who represent
ed herself as newly escaped from bondage, and in
want. The old lady’s benevolent feelings were
touched, and she took Phillis home with her and
treated her as a friend. After a while the old la
dy discovered that she was almost daily robbed of
small sums of money, and was forced to suspect
her colored protege of the thef. She accused
Phillis, who without hesitation, confessed her
crime and being asked what eould have tempted
her to wrong her benefactor in such a manner,
she replied: “Why, cuss it, I took the money to
buy sugar.”
A goat on theStagc.
The Liverpool Times gives the following ac
count of the performance of a four-legged individ
ual “who never appeared on any stage before:”
A circumstance provocative of hearty and gen
eral laughter took place on Monday, during the
performance of the last and most impressive scene
in the play of Julius Gaisar. Mr. Vandenlioff
sustained tho character of Brutus. He was at
that passage where, after his army had been de
feated, he requests his freeman to kill him, and re
solves to commit suicide. At this juuctuie a ven
erable looking goat, with a long Ward, made his
appearance at the side scenes, and took a deliberate
survey of the house. The audience burst into
roars of laughter to tho evident horror and astonish
ment of the tragedian. The goat then walked
deliberately down to the foot lights, and stared
at the audience, w hose roars of laughter soon star
tled him, and drove him once more up the stage.
In the meantime, Brutus stabbed himself with as
as much tragic dignity as possible under the cir-.
curastances, covering his face with his robe.—
Tho goat seeing his fall, walked over to the pros
trate Brutus, look a snuff at him, and was then,
amidst louder roars of laughter than over, in
which the actors joined, removed off the stage.
A Dueling Aueedole.
7 Two Spanish officers recently met to fight a
‘Uuel outside the gates of Billwa, after the seconds
l\ad failed to reconcile the belligerents. “We wish
flight—to fight to death,” they replied to the
representatives of their companions. At this mo
ment, a poor fellow, looking like the ghost of Ro
meo's a]K>thecary, approached the seconds, and,
in a lamentable voiae, said:
“Gentlemen, I am a |>oor artisan, with a large
family, anth-tf you would—”
“My good\nan, don’t trouble us now,” said one
of the officers, ‘don’t you see my friends are gbing
to split each other. We are not in a charitable
humor.’”
j “It is not alms I ask for.” said the the man;
! “I am a poor carpenter, with eight children, and
!my wife is sick; and having heard that those
I gentlemen were about to kill each other, I thought
lof asking you to let me make their coffins.”
j At these words, the individuals about to com-1
j mence the combat, burst into a loud fit of laugh
: ter, and throwing down their swords shook bauds
I with each other, and walked away.
A Court of Error*.
i Western lawyers are noted for oddities, and we
I find in an exchange the following amusing anec
dote of a “limb of that tree which is so thrifty in
itself, but whose leaves of parchment cause so
much unthrift in those on whom they fall.” We
are not sure but this old attorney was right in at
tempting to have the “error” corrected in the court
by which it was committed :
One of the old-fashioned attorneys practising
in Indiana, insisted on arguing a case before Judge
B. after it had been decided. The judge repeat
edly told the unfortunate attorney that he would
listen to no further argument on the case.
“But, may it please your honor,” says the ad
vocate “your honor will certainly hear an argu
ment if your honor has decided wrong.”
“No,” replied the judge ; “if you desire to ar
gue the case any more, take it to the court of cr-
I rors.”
“May it please your honor, I don’t see w here in
the devil I’d go to, for if this ain’t a court of errors,
I don’t know where to find one.”
Free Translation.
“Well, now, you’ve been to college two years,
I suppose you can translate Latin some can’t
you ?”
“Yes I can translate any thing.”
“Can you ? Well, what can this mean : Peota
mascilur non fit f”
“You didn’t quote the whole —pro decentibus
societate —not fit for decent society !”
“Ah ! indeed! what does ne sutor mean ?”
“If you, in popping the question, should drop
on your knees, you would be a kneh suitor.
“Very good. Now what is jam satis P
“Oh ! that’s what the fellow said in a crowd; he
meant he was jammed enough!’’
“Well, this college lamin’ is a great thing.—
I s’spose you didn’t know that I can traslate some
myself?”
“No! can you ?”
“O, yes ! —clam et palam —you know wliat
that means 1 eh ?”
“Not exactly; what is it V’
That means, eat clams by the pails ull!”
“You may take my hat!”
Hlalrlinoiiial.
Tile Alexandria Gazette of the 4th inst., con
tained an extraordinary advertisement, in letters
and figures as follows:
Wanted—A Husband. —Being desirous of en
tering into the holy state of matrimony, with a
sensible, loveable man, I have adopted this plan
to accomplish that, which, the custom of the
world, lam debarred from doing in any fashion.
As no one will Imy a pig in a poke, or trust to
lottery chances, I feel it incumbent upon me to
say U.at I am what tho world calls handsome, and
have a disposition to drive away dull care. My
husband must be from twenty to thirty; good
sense preferred to good looks; and no simpering
fool, who imagines a lady taken off her feet, by
his smiles, no uneducated ape in lavendar kids
and yellow sticks, no mature dandy, such as pro
menade for smiles; of silly girls and impudent
starers, no mustachoed baboon, need apply, its
no one will please me but a sensible, educated
gentlemen who appreciates domestic happiness
by the prosession of one heart. If such an one
is desirious of taking to himself a wife, who has
a small fortune, and who would try to make her
husband happy, will receive the attention of the
advertiser, by addressing through the Post Of
fice, a note to— ADA”
Tho English mid French.
An Englishman and a Frenchman vvero travel
ling together upon a Rail-road, alone in the same
car. The Frenchman, polite and easy in his man
ners, asked permission of his companion to smoke;
the latter making no reply, he took a cigar from
his pocket, lit it, and began smoking.
At the first station the Frenchman said to tho
Englishman, “Sir, excuse me; your cravat is un
tied.”
Tho Frenchman, without turning his head,
silently tied it.
A little farther on, the Frenchman said again,
“Sir your hat has fallen off.”
The Englishman withouteven saying thank you,
replaced his hat.
Some moments after the Frenchman cried out,
“Take care sir, take care; there is a spark that will
set you clothes on fire.”
“Ah, sir, do let me alone,” replied the Englsh
man, out of patience with so many attentions;
“Yon have been burning for half an hour and I
have not opened my mouth.”
Not Engaged, but Married.— Some ridicu
lous mistakes occur among foreigners at times,
owing to different meanings applied to the same
word in oui language. Duing the absenoc of a
physician of our acquaintance, the other day, a
gentleman called to see him, and rang the bell at
the door. The summons were answered by a
Dutch servant girl, of whom he enquired if the doc
tor was within.
“No.”
“Is his ladv in?”
“Yes.” ‘
“In she engaged ?”
The girl looked at him a moment, while a curi
ous expression settled on her features as she re
plied :
“Why, no; she is already married.”
The gentleman sloped.
Franklin’s Toast.
Long after Washington’s victories over the
French and English had made his name familiar
over all Europe, Dr. Franklin chanced to dine with
the English aud French Ambassadors, when, as
nearly as I can recollect the words, the following
toasts were drunk : by the British Ambassador—
“ England—the sun, whose beams enlighten and
fructify the remotest corners of tho earth.” The
French Ambassador, glowing with notional pride,
drank—“ France—the moon, whose mild, steady,
and cheering rays are the delight of all nations;
consoling them in darkness, and making their
dreariness beautiful.” Dr. Franklin then rose,
and, with his usual dignified simplicity, said—
“ George Washiogton—the Joshua who command
ed the sun and moon to stand still, and they obey
ed him.”
A news-boy was heard to say that he had quit
selling papers, and had gone into the Mesmeriz
ing busiucss. “I get five dollars a week,” said he
“for playing.” “Playing what ?” asked one of his
comrades. “Possum.” replied tho boy.
