Then appears to be two great divis

the practical joke. Both these have
an aggressive character. To begin
With the ififmrt*—it, is nstuUj a slap
in the face.
A few years ago, the country pos
sessed a great master cf repartee, Mr.
Douglass Jerrold. Specimens of bis
style still survive in the memories of
his cotemporaries.
A mediocre writer, employed on the
same subject as himself, says: "Yon
know Jerrold, you and I are Towing in
the same boat."
"Yea,’* replied the wit, but not with
the same sculls.”
Another inferior artist is eating soup

These are strong specimens, but take

Pecuniary calamity overtook a friend
of Mr. Edmund Burke. Another friend
went to console him, and like .Job's
comforters, told him it war his own
fault. "How could you be so unfeel
ing?” ask Mr. Burke, when he heard
of it.
"Unfeeling, sir!” says the other.—
"I went to him directly and posred oil
into hit wounds.”
"Oil of vitrol remarked the states-
Of coarse I need not say that a thou
sand examples of the kind are to be
found in literatnre.
The witty Voltaire receded with ad
mirable dexterity from good nature in
to wit. He permitted himself to praise
some gentleman rather warmly. His
hearer said: "This is very good of you
for he doesn’t speak of you with any
respect; qaito'tha teverse.”
,"Ah,” mid Vwltwre, ■•Jtvmanutn eU

An observer of witty rnen and thei
sayings summed the matter up as lo

Even where the wit is without pei
tonality, it does not always lose its at
gressive character. See how the per
sonages in the 'School for Scandal"
plain why wit and good nature a
seldom united. It is not bitter, but
still it is biting.
.Now go Ciom this to the practical
joke, whicb is always an attempt at
humor. Dissect tk-i practical joke. “Now, thi
Egotism and a poverty of real wit tempt ga id t h e ’ t
some doll fellow to inflict model
pain upon another, keeping well ou
it himself; and his being out of it, auu you.”
the other being in it, makes u: — —
humorous; and this really fi
narrow theory of Hobbes of Malmes
bury that “laughter arises from a-glo-
rjing in ourselves at some superiority
over our neighbors.” The dull hum
orist in this style chips bristles and
•trews them in his friend’s beds, or
makes him up what is called an apple-
pie bed—a wonderful corruption ol
cap-a-pie. Meantime his bed is all
right, and his heart rejoices.
One of these humorists put a skele
ton into a young lady’s bed, down in
Somerset then retired softly and await
ed the result with the idiotic chuckle
of a dull dog who has strayed into hu
mor. The result was that the lady
fell screaming to the floor; was taken
up insane, and ended her days in
mad house. Another such humoi
buttoned down the hatches of a small
trading vessel in the Thi
was created somewhere in the hold (1

Solomon bss observed that nature
contains tremendous animals. At tbe
bead of the list he places a conple,
a bear robbed of her whelps and an ir
ritated fool. Leaving these two terri
ble creatures to figure cheek by jowl
in ths sacred page, I beg the third
place for • dull man or woman trying
to bs witty.
Now all this is not absolutely nec
essary. It is more difficult to say wit
ty and kindly things than witty and ill
matured things. Yet it is within the
power of the human understanding.
A young lady walking iu her gar
den with Sydney Smith, pointed out
to him au everlasting pea, reported to
blossom beautifully, "but,” she said,
we have never been able to bring.it to
perfection.” “Then,” said the kindly
wit, “let me bring Perfection to tbe
pea,” so led her by the hand to a closer
•paction of the flower.
Conlon, a famous mimic of Louis
XV.’a time, took off the King as well
M his subjects. The King heard of it,
and insisted on f seeing tbe imitatiop.
He was not offended at it, and gave
Conlon a fine' diamond pin. Conlon
looks at the pin and says: “Coming to,
me this ought to be paste; bat coming
from Your Majesty, it is naturally
diamond.” Is the element of wit extin

Frederick the Great disbelieved
physicians, and said that invalids die
oftaner of their remedies than of their
maladies, and, as the lancet
his day, probably ho was not very far
wrong. Ilowever, he fell sick, and the
weakness of his body, I suppose, affec
ted his mind, so he sent fora physician
Dr. Zimmermann, bat at tig <t of him
his theory revived, and l.in habitnal
good manners led him to say to Zim
mermann, by way of greeting: “Now,
doctor. I’ll be bound to say you have
sent many a honest fellow underground.
Zimmermann replied, without hesita
tion: “Not so many as Your Majesty
nor with so much credit to myself.'
Isn’t that'wit. if you please? Aye,
and of a very high order. But it is
•Tin possible to convert the practical
joke to amiability, and to substitute the
milk of human kindness, where hither*
to non have dealt in adulterated
gar. And of this I beg to offer a
ample. . .
A certain German nobleman provid
ed hi* *jaw il * a tutor; who was to at-
toad closely to him at \W hours and
improve his mind. - This tut*
seems, took for his example a certain
predecessor of his, who ussd to coach
young Cyrus in-doors and out. And
both tbeee tutors, each in his own
oountry and his generation, had the
brains to see that to edaopta a young
fellow you™t not - 2 - a -* r

’ - and
think you’ll get much fun out of that.
You eee he’s a poor maa, and probably
thinks his lot hatd enough without his
having stones put into his shoes. I
can’t help thinking that if you were to
put a little money in, instead—and you
have plenty of that, you know, more
than I should allow you if I were your
father—the old fellow would be far
more flabbergasted, and his grimaces
would be far more entertaining.”
The generous' youth caught fire at
tbe idea, and pat a doable dollar into
each shoe. Then the confederates hid
behind a hedge, and watched tbe result
of their trick. They had not long to
wait. An elderly man came back to
his hard work—work a little beyond
his years—and slipped his right foot
into his right shoe. Feeling something
look of amazement, and the
behind the hedge chuckled. He
laid the coin in tbe palm of his hand,
still gazing at it with wonder; he me
chanically slipped his foot into the
other eabSt. There he found another
f. He took it op, and holding out
both his hands, stared with astonish
ment at them. Then he suddenly
clapped his hands together, and fell
upon his knees; and he cried ont in a
loud voice: "O God! this is your do

of mankind, and especially of those
who can contrive to be witty or humoi

profit by this sort of humor. I have
heard of au eccentric gentleman who
had some poor female relations, and
asked them to tea—a beverage he hi
self detested. He retired before the
tea-drinking commenced, and watched
their facet from another room. They
found their cups mighty heavy and
could hardly lift the ponderous liquid.
They set them down, probed the con
tents, and found a sediment of forty
ejeigna in each cnp. Each discov
