“ Care to our coffin adds a nail no doubt,
But every grin of laughter draws one out! ’
Pretty Good. —Who is the author of the
following we know not. W e found it in an
old newspaper that looked like it was print
ed when Adam was a boy.
Sambo was a slave to a master who was
constitutionally addicted to lying. Sambo
being strongly devoted to his master, had |
bv dint of long practice, made himself an |
adept in giving plausibility to his master’s
large stories.
One day, when the master was entertain
ing his guests in his customary manner, u
ntong other marvellous facts, he related an
incident which took place in one of bis limit
ing excursions.
“ 1 fired at a buck,” said lie, “ at n hun
dred yards distance, and the bail passed
through his left hind foot, and through his
head just back of his ears !”
This evidently produced soinelittle doubt
in the midst of his guests, lie called upon
Sambo to corroborate him.
“ Yes, rnassa,” says the almost conftinded
slave, after a moment’s hesitation, “ me see
de bail hit cm : .lcs as massa lif up de gun
to he eye.de buck lif up bis bin footto’crach
him ear, and massa’s ball went cleai thogh
him foot an head, bof at do same time.”
The guests were perfectly satisfied witli
Sambo's explanation, and swallowed the
whole without further hesitation ; but when
the guests were gone, Sambo ventured up
on bis master’s good humor so far as to re
monstrate.
“ For God a’mity sake massa, when you
tell anudder sich a big lie, don’t put uni so
fur apart; me hab debblish hard work lor
get umtogedder!”
My hearers—why don’t you laugh and
grow fat, instead of worrying thespirit from
its home, and fiettingthe flesh from its tim
bers 1 A well got up laugh aids digestion
—clears the cobwebs from the brain—causes
the soul to efTervesce with hope and good
humor; and makes a hearty meal of sot row
to sit as lightly on the heart as a greased
ball of cotton upon the stomach of tin ana
conda. There is nothing like having a can
teen of good cheer by on’s side while trav
elling through such a world of sin, misfor
tune and misery as this. A smile will drive
dull care away, while a frown only serves
to swell the seeds of wo implanted in the
human heart, and causes them to put forth
sprouts of evil, which may be found difficult
to eradicate if left to flourish and gain
strength by the fosterings of foolishness and
folly. Look upon all sides of all things, but
dwell on the bright side. Be prudent, hut
not parsimonious—and provide for the soul
as well as for the stomach : keep your feet
warm —your heads cool—your pockets in
pennies, and your hea-its in cheer. Then
let insect cares butt against your bosoms ;
you will care no more for them than a rat
tail file for the nibblings of an adde*—for
you are rendered proof to all such petty an
noyances, while performing the pleasanthut
perilous pilgrimage to the grave. — Dow, Jr.
Posing a Pedagogue. —“ Sally Jones,
have you done this sum I set you 1”
“ No thir, 1 can’t do it.”
“ Can't do it! I’m ashamed of you. Why
at vour age I could do any sum that was set
me. 1 hate that word can’t ! For there is
no sum that can’t be done, I can tell you.”
“ l think, thir, that 1 kuowth a ilium you
can’t tliifer out,”
“ Ha! well, well, Sally ; let’s hear it.”
“ It is thith, thir : If one apple cauthcd
the ru'ui of the whole human rathe, lmw
many thuch will it. take to make a barrel of
thweet thider, thir ?”
“Mis Sally Jones—you may turn to your
parsing lesson.”
“ Yctli, thir.”
A celebrated dandy was, one evening, in
company with a young lady, and observed
her kiss her favorite poodle. lie advanced
and begged the like favor, remarking that
she ought to have as much charity for him
ns she had shown to a dog. “ Sir,” said the
belle, I never kissed my dog while lie was
a puppy'’ The fellow took the hint and
was otf instanter.
T/ic ruling Passion. —Aveiy old lady in
this city, who has been from lier youth a de
voted admirer of the “ Statesman of Ken
tucky,” on reading Miller’s prediction of
the general smash in 1843, exclaimed “I
know it; I always said some darned thing
or other would happen to prevent Clay’s
election J”
“ Never kiss two girls at once,” wisely
advises l)u Solle. We got. kissed, says the
SSuntlay Times, by two at once, by running
our face between them just as they weie
going to kiss each other. I here wits noth
ing particularly unpleasant about that.
An Intorwating Glass. —“ YV in* is that
lovely girl !” exclaimed tbo waggish Lord
Norbury, riding in company with his long
eared friend Counsellor Gr.malty. “Miss
Glass,” replied the barrister. “ Glass !” re
iterated the facetious judge ; “by the love
which man bears to woman, l should often
become intoxicated could l place such a glass
to my lips /” The counsellor fell from his
horse in a lit of apoplexy.
Worse than the toothache. —A Dutchman
in proceeding to a place from whence he
heard the cries of distress, discovered one
of his neighbors lying under a stone wall
which had fallen upon him and fractured
his legs. “ Well den neighbor Vanderdiken,
vat ish de matter vid you 1” “ Vat! vy you
see mine conditions vid nil dish pig stones
upon me, and potli mine legs piokc oil'close
py mine poddy.” “ Mine Cot,” said llonie,
“Is dat all! you hollowed so like de tivel, I
thought you was got the toothache.”
The form with which the old governess,
mixing upgracc with gracefulness, duly pre
faced the rice milk, batter puddings, and
raspberry bolsters of her female pupils, was
this: “ For what wc are going to leccive
—elbows—elbows! —the Lord make us—
backs in and shoulders down—truly thank
ful—and no chattering—Amen.”
Strange. —When a man is thrown from
. his gig the papers say he was accidentally
\ thrown—as if there were cases in which
men had been purposely thrown out—to ob
tain a broken limb for the benefit of the sur
gical profession.
“ Why, where are you going s"> early
Filzfrizzle V’ said a staid, sober citizen to
a soap-lock dandy.
“ So eawly !” said the dandy, repeating
! the last part of the query—“wlioy —I—l'm
I going to the cattle show to be suaw.”
“O, you are, are you 1” said citizen so
bersides, “ I didn’t know that there was a
premium offered for asses there.”
The dandy looked at him throughhis quiz
zing glass for fully ten minutes.
Cure far lore. —Take a grain of sense half
a grain of patience, one drachm of under
standing, one ounce of disdain, a pound of
resolution and a handful of dislike. Mix
them together, fold them in the limbec of
your brain for twenty four hours set them
on the slow fire of hatred, strain it clear
from the dross of melancholy, stop it down
with the cark of sound judgment, and let it
stand nine days in the water of cold affection.
This rightly made and fully applied is the
most effectual cure in the world. You can
get it at the house of understanding, in con
tent street, going up the hill of self denial,
county forgetfulness in the state of peace.
“ Shall I cut this loin of mutton saddle
wise V said a gentleman. “ No,’ said one
of his guests ; “ cut it bridlewise, for then I
may chance to get a hit in my mouth.”
