B.—This is no greater humbug thau any other Gift Enterprise in the Union, i Try it. Read what the papers say of it. j “Glorious humbug! try it” Bunker Hill Flag Staff “If you want to be sold cheap take a chance” Snobtown Register. “Lovers of ground peas and humbuggery go in and get squeezed.” Suckerville Tell-lio-gr^ph “If you win anything it will be a groat prize —yes, a surprize '* Dugtown Clarion of Freedom j “If you are fond of good singing and beiug singed buy a ticket in Blobbs* Enterprise.” j P. G. Reporter. I “One fool makes many. Try your luck, j You’ll have one consolation, if you dont ; lose anything you won’t win.anything j Pumkinville Paladium “We do not know the projecrer of this enter prise, but it must be Adam Goodsell.’. Turn uptown Register. —At a wedding s\t Applecross lately, one of the party, anxious to add to the hilarity of the entertainment, began to j play the Highland reel called “Bonaid Gorm.” The first one taken up was the bride; the funny fellow succeeded in kissing her, upon seeing which the bride groom’s countenance assumed a most disagreeable aspect, and he immediately took to his heels. Consequently, the jolity of the hitherto happy evening was i abandoned, and the runaway bridegroom brought back, and with much difficulty reconciled to hia better half. —The chief figure of the Virgin Mary in Toledo cathedral is on state occasions attired in a mantle, studded with 78.000 pearls, besides diamond’s, rubies and emeralds. The Virgin’s crown cost £5,000, without the jewels, and she has bracelets to match, each of which eofit £2,000. —Early rising gives long days, in vigorating light in abundance, and healthy cheeks. This beautiful passage from Bulwer’s Caxton’s is worthy of per petual rftnembrance : I was always an early riser. Happy the man who is! Every morning day oomes to him with a virgin’s love, full of bloom and purity and freshness. The youth of nature is contagious, like the gladness of a happy child. I doubt if any man can be called “old” as long as he is an early riser and early walker. And youth:—take, my word for it—youth in dressing gown and slippers, dawdling over breakfast at noon, is a very decrepit, ghastly image of the youth which sees the sun blush over the mountains and the dews sparkle upon blossoming hedgerows.
