Wp‘ , -* < . “’ . was i.’i !• ■i .’ ■•’ ■’ II ■••• 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.
