w A & HUMOR A “Verdaiil” in n Colton mill. A raw, straw-hatted, satidy whiskered six-footer —one oC tlie pweiy uninitiated came in recently 6om Greene, with a load of wood for a factory company- Not satisfied with contemplating the “poetry of motion” at a safe distance, onr hero must needs introduce himself between the cards, tp get a nearer view. This move brought his “ne ther habiliments” into dangerous proximity to the gearing of the next card, and ‘thereby hangs a tale.” “ Vou, I say 1 She goes pooty, don't she Bos said Jonathan, inquiringly. “Bhe don’t do anything else,” responded the stripper. “But you must bffVfery careful how you move around amongst the hardware. Twas only hist week, sir, that a promising young man from Oxford, a student at the academy there, was drawn into that very card, sir, and before my as sistance could reach him, he was run through and manufactured into No. Ift, super extra, cotton warp yarn.” “I s-a-swow! I believe vuer joking ?*’ stuttered Jomitltnn. “Fact, sir,” continued stripper, “and his discon solate mother came down two days ago, and got five bunches of that same yarn, as melancholy re- Ses.” “By the polker, that can’t be true !” “Fact, sir, fact! and each of his fellow students purchased a skein apiece, to be set in lockets, and wore in remembrance of departed worth!” “fe that a fact now I Was he really carded, spun, and set in lockets i” A sense of personal danger here shot across our hero’s mind; ho began to retreat precipitately, without waiting for an answer. But there was not much room to spare betwixt himself and the gearing of the card behind. And another step backwards completed the ceremony of introduc tion. His unwhisperables being of large enlibre, the process of snarling them np into a hard knot was no ways slow. Onr hero “gave tongue” in stanter. “Oh-h ! M-n-r-de-r! Let go!—you h-u-r-t! Blast your pieter ! Lot go! Aint you ashamed! Get out! Let alone on me—can’t ye f—do J* The card stripper threw off the belt, but the momentum of the cylinder kept it revolving; and our hero supposing it in full operation, burst out anew. “Oh, stop her f stop her, do; I ain’t well; I or tXT be at home. Father wants the steers, and mo ther’s going to bake! Stop the tarnal mashecn, can’t ye—do 1 Aint yc got no foclin for a feller in distress? Oh, dear, I'll be carded and spun, and rondo in- lockets f Je-ru-sa-lum !—llow I wish I was tu Greene!” The card was stopped at last, but Jonathan’s clothes were so tangled in the gearing that it was only by- cutting out the whole of tiro “invested territory,” that he was filially released.— Yankee Jtliide. Business Transaction. “Have you got a hnxo to sell 1” inquired a cockney., as ho, entered a Yankee's retail shop in Queen of the West. “Axe ? well, I guess I have.” “Well, I want’s a ’achet.” “Hatchet ? Oh, well, I can accommodate yon 1 reckon. Mister: you don’t want to chop your let ters off, nor nothing;” and the Yankee thrust his longue in one side of his mouth, and grinned. “Let's see your ’ntehets.” “Hero's a first chop one, worth a dollar, but •coin’ it’s yon, you muy tako it for three shillings andnineponeo.” “’Ow much bo that?” “Sixty-two and n half cents, ’zactly.” “I'll give you fifty, fellow.!’ “Oh, couldn't think on’t—cost me sixty cents. No, mister, we can’t trade. I must make a lectio profit,” jrfS the shopkeeper was replacing his art) vies. “Well, sir. I'll give you sixty-two cents.” “Oh ! well, mister, 1 never stand for half a cent.” The exquisite paid down two quartets and a lev y which the Yankee put into his drawer, and hand ed idm the hatcliet. “I want my ‘alf cent,” said John 8011. “Well, mister, how on earth can 1 give you a half cent—wo'vo no coins of that; you’d Letter buy something else, nud I’ll make it even.” “No—l must have my half cent,” “Well, mister, if you must have it, you must, that’s all; but you won’t want another, I reckou.” Saying this, he took the hatchet from bis custom er’s hand, and walking to the door laid a cent on the stone. “Stop ! stop! fellow!—you’ll ruin my’atchet Ho was not in time, however. The vankee had already cut the cent on the door-stone iu two parts, merely remarking that “those who were de termined to have a half cent ought to pay the ex pense of getting it.” Co-operation.

Zounds! I’ll know what it means.” “You, Bill! you, I say, what are you a-doing ?” “Why—why,"says Bill, “I ain’t a doing no thing.” “And Sam, what are you a-doing?”’ “Why, I’m helping Bill,” says Sam. “Exactly 1” says the old farmer. “Just ns I ex peoted.

In a neighboring county, tlie Democrats had for over twenty years been in the l*abit of hold ing their county nominating conventions at the house of a staunch old Democrat, Mr. G . He happened on a recent occasion, for the first time, not to be in when they had finished their businesss, and heard a little delegate from II move that “this convention do now adjourn sine die.” J* “Sine die,” said Mr. G £to a person standing near, “where is that f *’ “W’y—that’s ’way up in the northern part of j the county,” said his neighbor. “Hold on, if you please, Mr .

Not so Very Fat. —A fieldslave in one of the Western States, te- whom meat was a rare bles sing, one day found in his trap a plump rabbit.— He took him out alive, held him under his arm, patted him, and began to speculate- on bis quali ties. “Ob, how berry fat! De fattest I ebber did sec! Let me see how me cook him. Me roast him f No; he be so fat, me loose all the grease. Me fry him! Afi, he be so very fat, he fry himself. Golly, how fat he be! Den me stew him.” The thought of the savory stew made the negro forget himself, aridy in. spreading out (he feast to his imagination, his arm relaxed, when off hopped the rabbit, and squatting at a goodly distance, eyed his late owner with great compo sure. The negro knew there was an end to the matter, so summoning all his philosophy, he thus addressed tho rabbit:—“You long-eared, white whiskered, red-eyed rat, you not so. berry fat ar tcr all.” A Ct'TTiNo Retort.—“ What business was your father’s ?” said an imperious Colonel, to a modest looking Lieutenant. “A tobacconist, sir.” “What a great pity he did not make yon one.” “Possibly, sir; and now will you allow me to ask you a question ?” “Certainly. What is it?” “What was your fa’-ber T “A genticinaa r sir.” “Well, then, all I have to say is, that it’s a du ced pity he didn’t make you one.” It is needless to remark that the Colonel turned to the right and left. A Central Shot.—The Albany Dutclimau very truthfully remarks, that after “a careful ex amination of all histories which have yet been published in relation to the Mexican war, we have come to the conclusion that the only portion of the army which did nothing, was that portion which was composed of privates. If official docu ments are worthy of credit all the soldiers do {n it battle is, to look in and see their officers jterform miracles.

He bathed it, and rubbed it, and swathed it, but all to no purpose. Finally tearing away the bandages, he stock it out, and with a shake of his fist over it, exclaimed: “Ache away, deu, old feller; ache away. I shan’t do nuffin more for yor; dis chile ken stan’ it as long as you ken; so aeho away ?” An honest Irishman, fresh from Hibernia, caught abmnble-boc in his hand, supposing it to lie a humming bird. “Och,” he exclaimed, “Devil burn ! how hot his little fut is. if-??’A parson who had got some little smat tering of zoological lore, said one day to a novice that crocodiles were often seen in tears. “Oh, that’s nothing,” rejoined the novice, “I’ve often inyscif seen Whale's blubber.” iC’r“lYliMt c!m a Inan , J o y asked a green ’un, “when the sheriff is seen coming up to him with a writ in his hand ?” “Apply the remedy,” said another,gruffly. “Apply the remedy !’ what kind of remedy ?” “ISeel-mg remedy, you goose—trim like a quarter horse.” I say, I don’t suppose you don’t know of nobody what don’t want to hire nobody to do nothin’ for nobody nor nothing no how, you don’t, don’t you ?” “Yes, I don’t know of nobody.” NAT A young lady at an examination in gram mar, was asked why the noun “bachelor” was sin gular.
