Joshua Billings, Esq., has turned up
in the New \ ork Weekly with the fol
lowing monograffs” :
I he Jealous Man is atwuz a hunting.
He iz alwuz a hunting for stmithing
that lie don’t expect lew lind, and afier
he h.iz found it. then he iz mad be**
katsse he haz. Theze leilers don’t lie
leav in spooks, and yet they are about
the only (oiks i lio ever see ennv. A
jealous man sz alwuz happy jist in pro
purs huu ez he is miserable.
Jelosy iz a diseaze, and it iz a good
«ieal like sea'siekness—ciretiful sick and
han’t vomit.
The An ony.TJus Man boards at a red
tavern, and pays lor !• is hoard hi tend
ing- bar ockasionally. He haiol got
any more clia;:n:ler than tbe jack uv
spades haz when it aim iruinps.
lie iz a loaler bi profession), without
ennv vices.
He rides on the box once in a while
with tbe driver, and nobody thinks uv
asking for hi* stage hire.
He sprung from a respectable farnilv;
biz gie.it grandfather was a jusiiss or
the peace; but be haz not got vanity
enutJ to brag on it.
He ain’t necessarily a phool, ennv
more than a biillV-eye watch iz; ifeir
ny boddy will wind him un, he will
sett still and run quietly down.
The Stiff Man looks down when he
walks upon folks. He don’t seem tew
have but oye limber jmi in him, and
that iz located in hiz noze.
He is a kind of masculine turkey on
parade in a barn-yard.
He iz generally loaded with v isdum
tdear up lew the inuzzeli. and when he
goes, op’n, makes a noize like a cannon, !
but don’t dew ennv dammage.
i have seen him tire into a crowd
and miss every man.
This kind ov stiff man iz very handy
tew flat ter. They seem tew know
they ain’t entitled to a good article,
and therefore are satisfied with very
hard soap.
There ain’t but fu men who git stiff"
on what they actually know, but most
aul ov them git stiff" on wh-t they ack
tually feel.
Stiff men are railed arist 'knits, but
this ain’t so. There ain’t no such
thing as aristokrats in this country.
The country ain’t long ennfT\ it. un
less a man has got some Indian in him.
Az a gen’ral thing, stiff men git mad
dredful easy, and h.av lev/ git over it
dredful easy beka-use folks ain’t apt tew
git a big skare at what they ain’t afraid
ov.
Stiff man bad a grandfather mice
who went to -Cirngress from our distrikt,
and thare ain’t one in ihe whole family
that fiave been able tew git limber
sinse.
The Model Man never disturbs a hen
when she is setting; never speaks cross
tew a lost dorg; alwuz puts a five cent
shinplaster in his vest pocket late Sat
urday night tew have it ready Sunday
morning for the church platter; riz> s
whenever a lady enters the slreet kars;
remembers jure uncle plainly, and asks
after awl the family, ll he steps oil a
kat’s tail, is sure to do it light, and im- j
mediately asks her pardon; reads the
P/tunny -Phellews ai.d laris hekause he
kati’l help it ; hooks upfiis wife’s dress
and plays iio.‘s with the children.—
Never meddles with the cream m the
milk pans; goes eazily ov errands, and
cuins back in seazou ; attend evrv bud
dy’s phuneral; kan alwuz tell when
the moon changes ; thinks just az yon
do, follows evry buddy’s advice but
his own ; praktices most ov ihe virtews
without knowing it ; leads the life ov
a shorn lamp; gits sick after a while,
and dies as soon az he kau to save
making ennv further trouble.
The model man’s vices are not fear
ed, nor his virtews tespekied He
lives in the memory ov ihe world just
about az long az a pleasant day dtiz.
He may be cilletl a “(diver fellow,”
ami that iz only a libel; but be vvli! git
hiz reward hereafter —when the birds
git theirs.
A little man in the west of Maryland
rushed to the Potomac river, lasi sum
mer, swearing that he would drown
himselt. When he had waded into the
depth of his waist, his wife, who had
followed him, seized him by the hair,
and then, as a spectator describes it,
she led him back until she had reached
j a place where tbe water was about uvo
. feet deep, tv he re she pulled him over
! backwards, souring his head under, arid
‘ then pulling bis head u,> again : 'Drown
1 yourself, (down- he went), leaving me
;to keep the children! (another plunge.)
Got drunk ! (another souse) and start
for the river ! (another dip.) B tier use
water instead of rum! (another dtp and
shake of his head.) I’ll leant you to
leave me a widow!’ After sousing him
to her heart’s content, she led him out,
a wetter if not a wiser man, anil es
corting him to the house, shut the
door.

For Hie Girlt-ilow to Get a
Husband.
From an excellent communication
published in the Columbus, Mississippi
j Judex ot June, we copy the following
•vxprt .ss!y for the girls
| Being old and therefore allowed li*
t cense lor teasing the girls on matrimo
nial subjects, l consult them about their
luture prospects, and find that the
opinion obtains with them that the
young men were never so slow in pro
posing as in these days; which, we
, must admit, gives them a good, not to
j s iv all-powerful, reason for not taking
' a husband. Now, young ladies, the
whole secret with nine-lentlis ot you,
of not being able to get off your parent s
Tiands, is simplv ibis; you dou t know
how to work. You call l keep house.
You can’t make a pair of breeches. —
I You can’t tell, for the life ol you, the
• diff rence between bran and shorts, or
i\\ iiich cow give the buttermilk, i’iie
I young men generally came out ol the
j war “with the skm oi their teeth,” with
' no fortune. 1 might say. but their ward
i robes o 1 gray and their canteens, and
j to marry with them now, rest assured,
j relates more to making a living, with
the assistance of a loving, industrious
help mate, than indulging tn opera
music, moonshine and poetry. Do you
know what they say ol one of your
buitertlv young ladies win* has held
them in the parior engaged bv the hour
listening to ••elegant nothings/” Nme
[ teen tiines“(‘ut ol twenty it is ibis
, ••Weil, she is all right for an evening’s
I entertainment, but she will not iraku a
good wile?”
i There is no possible objection to the
accomplishments ol music, painting
; and the like, but the idea is to be able
to set these parior amusements aside
! lor the puiml when the stern duties as
married iife call for your practical
knowledge. Show ihe young men I hat
you can do your part ol the double
i business; that you can cook a meal’s
1 victuals on a pinch; that you can sweep
no and -Jus!, and darn old stockings,
and save a penny toward ail accumu
late? pound; that you wll not lie a
dead expense to him through lile. Be
lieve me, young Iriends, as many true,
heroic, womanly bear's beat over
household duties as flutter beneath the
soft light of a parlor chandelier. Your
kiss is just as sweet, vour smiles just
as hrigln, your heart as happy and
tender alter a day s exertion in a sphere
worthy • I true womanhood, as in
places ol dissipation, frippery and silly
amusement. Ha ve an ambition to Jo
your part in life; cultivate industrial
habits, and let the palor accomplish
ments go with the higher accomplish
ments 1 have just enumerated. It is
I astonishing how soon a domestic young
lady is found out and appreciated. It
is because she is such a rare exception
to the general rule.
Spiced Vinegar.
Here is a New Orleans story, told
by one who saw the parlies at the
t-ibSe;
! Last summer, while residing in New
Orleans, a youth, who stood five feet
eh ven and three quarters in his stock
ings, and hailed from somewhere up
the Wabash, was invited by a friend to
J j lie at the same house wliert I was
board.ng. This was the 11 msier’s
first visit away from home, and lie told
his friend, who was in the produce
business, and had purchased ins cargo
of corn, as they took their seats at thj
table, that he expected he would show
him all the siglns m town, as be want*
ed to let all the folks at “hum” know
about it. The servant brought a plate
of soil}) ; and observing a gentleman
nearly opposite put considerable catsup
in his dish, our llousier pointed to a
botile of peppei sauce, and asked bis
. neighbor what it was.
j “Spiced vinegar,” was the reply.
I “Wall, ’spose yer ’bilge a feller by
' hamlin’t along.”
••Certainly,” was the answer.
The lloosier took the bottle, and
j commenced dosing into his soup ; but
j as the sauce did lint flow very freely,
he took out the cork, at the same time
observing to his friend :
j “Kinder close folks j*er stoppm*
with, to pul such a plaguy little hole in
that, to prevent a feller’s takiu’ much
of the stuff. I ’spose it comes high,
don’t it ?”
During the time, lie poured nearly a
wineglass full into his soup; and taking
his spoon, he dipped it lull, logt-l.ier
with several peppers, and put into his
mouth, I’he next instant he spurted
the contents of bis spoon across the
table, into a French gentleman’s bos
om, and bawled out:
Water! Water! Snakes snd wild
cats, give rne some water! I’m all
| » fire !”
j “By gar, sair!” exclaimed the
Frenchman, in a rage, jumping up from
! the taole, “you have spoiled my shirt,
1 my vest, sail-. Spoil everything, sair!”
By gar, 1 snail s<-e about this, sair!”
In the meantime, the lloosier had
seized a pitcher containing water, and
i taken a tremendous draught. Selling
down the pitcher, he ejed the French
man lor a m uncut, and Wien yelled :
“Goufnund your old shirt! ’Spose l
was g >iu’ to burn my ui'ards out for
l you or yer sinrt? ycr m?an cusu!
Come down to the boat, and I’ll give
you one of mine.”
It was with mu.-h difficulty tho
Noosier’s friend could allay the French
man's rage and set matters all straight
again. But evtr alter “apievd viupyar”
was a by-word, and sufficient to set a
whole table in a roar.

he moved her to his mother’s home in

sister and brother. Before dying ho
sent her mother a blasphemous dispatch
informing'her of the approaching diso

Biown hastened to Philadelphia, whero

I indignities, such as humbling herself
on tier knees, before lie would permit

Near Newark lived a pintis family
who had an adopted orphan, who, by

had imbibed strict views on religions
matters, however, and once asked his
adopted mother if she didn’t think it
wrong for the old farmers to come to
’church and fall asleep. paving no better
regaril to the service. She replied she
did. Accordingly before going to
church thp next Sunday, lie filled bis
pockets with apples One bald headed
old inan who invariably went to sleep
during the sermon particularly attract
ed hi* attention. Seeing him at last
nodding, and giving his usual evidence
of being in the “land of dreams,” he
took the astonished sleeper a blow with
an apple on the top of his bald pate.—
The minister ami aroused congregation
at once turned round and indignantly
gazed at the bov, who merelv said to
tbe preacher, as he took another apple
in h's hand, with a sober, honest ex

At the supper.table, a queer odor came
