Good old Mrs. (Jail was very hard of hearing, being somewhat advanced in years. Her daughter, Lydia, was a bouncing lass, who loved a good frolic, and knew well how to get up one. Lydia had arranged a junket, and the young men and maids were all on hand. Among the rest was the Gen eral—one of ’em. In the midst of the fun, in popped old Deacon L—: , to see how the widow fared. This was a w*et blanket to the merriment, and the deacon held on till Lydia was out of patience. She wish ed he would go, and by and by he gets up to depart. “0., Deacon,” said mother Call, “don’t think of going before tea. O, do stop to tea.” The Deacon was so strongly urged, re plied : “ Well, I rather think I will, as the folks will not expect me home till dark.” “ What did he say, Lydia ? ” asked the widow. Lydia'had a ready answer. • “He says he will not to-day, mother, as the folks expect him home before dark. Why how deaf you are mother ! ” “ O, well, some other day, Deacon; won’t you ? ” said mother (Jail as she showed the Deacon out. “ Smart girl. tb-i±2’ Deacon, as be trudged along home. “ Shell find her way through, I’ll warrant.” In a communication to the Cotton Planter , Mr. W. McWillie says : “ There is, according to iny experience, nothing easier than to avoid tho skipper and all worms and* bugs that usually infest and often destroy so much bacon. It is simply to keep your smoke house dark, and the moth that deposits the egg will never enter it. For the past twenty-five years I have attended to this, and never have had any bacon troubled with any in sect. I have now hanging in my smoke house hams one, two and three years old, and the oldest arc as free from insects as when first hung up. I am not aware of other causes for the exemption of my ba con from insects, but simply the fact that my smoke house is always kept dark. Be fore adopting this plan I had tried many experiments, but always either without success, or with injury to the flavor of my bacon.' I smoke with green hickory—this is important, as the flavor of bacon is often utterly destroyed by smoking it with im proper wood.” A droll fellow was asked by an old lady to read the and taking it began as follows: “ Last night yesterday morning, about two in the afternoon, before breakfast, a hungry boy about forty years old, bought a big custard for a levy, and threw it through a brick wall nine feet thick, and jumping over it broke his right ancle off above the left knee, fell into a dry mill and got drowned. About forty years after that, on the same day, an old cat had twenty turkey gobblers; a high wind blew Yankee Doodle on a frying pan, and knock ed the old Dutch church down and killed a sow and two dead pigs at Boston, where a deaf and dumb man was talking French to his aunt Peter.” The old lady taking a long breath, ex claimed, • “Du tell! ” “ Simkins, don’t you wish the next Con gress will do something to establish a hard currency among us ? ” “ Why as to that, it is thought by many that the curreucy is hard enough already, but for lay part, I think it hard enough to get! ” —♦ ♦ ♦ A sober man when drunk has the same kind of stupidity about him that a drunk en man has when he is sober. When is a man not himself? When ho is an ape of somebody else. Frenchman and the Broker, y Monsieur M —, with that perccpti-/ bility so characteristic of his countrymen, determined, as he had more money than he A needed, to add to the amount, in imitation " of the many Yankee speculators in our midst, by becoming an extortioner, and so ,' bought largely of flour, tobacco, sugar, cof fee, &c., which very soon realized him a ' large amount'd “ Confederate Notes.” , By the advice of a particular friend, (an j Israelite,) lie plaoed the greater part of it f in the hands of a broker, to turn to the best account in other speculations, with an un d*~ *‘.anding, that when ho '.wanted it, ho / gold, silver, or greenbacks, at a ' -art* of premium. ' jtU things went*on swimmingly til! the advent of Livingston, the prince of gentle manly swindlers. Monsieur soon heard that brokers gener ally had been pretty severely fleeced by this distinguished personage; and becom ing alarmed for the safety of his money, hurried to the office of his broker friend, filled with fearful apprehensions of finding him a used up man, but who had, howev er, esoaped with comparatively small loss. Hurrying into the back office, or the sanctum sanctorum of tho broker, ho found that individual seated at his private desk, when tho following colloquy ensued ; “ Good day, Monsieur M , I am glad to sec you, sir; be seated : Have you been sick ? you arc not looking well.” “ Oui, Monsieur, I have been veery sick, sick all ovare, I feels no veery good in my mind.” “ What’s the matter ? ” “ Ze times, ze times is ze matter, Mon sieur.” “ The times! what aboutthe times, have you had bad luck? have you lost in any of your late speculations ? ” “Oui, Monsieur, I have lost veery mousch on ze tobaccare, and l is veery iiiousoh fear ze times will break up all ze peoples; ze confidance is gone; I loose ze confidence veery mousch J’ “ You loose confidence! in whom ?” oiu T*i t,n £ * n CVcr y podj sare.” *' Well, Rufrie q| these Shyfocks around here do deserve pretty close watching,* and I would advise you to place no confidence in any of them.” “ But, zen Monsieur, I loose ze confidanco in ze not speculators, and ze Shylocks, I loose ze confidance in friends, iu every pody F” “ Youj have not lost confidence in me I hope ?
