A Well known bald headed bank,
er, who always pries himself on being
a self made man, during a recent talk
with a friend had occasion to remark
that he was the architect of his destiny.
„What a- did you s- say?” asked a
friend who stutters. ” I say with pride
that lam a self- made man that I
made my self. Hold, interrupted
a Iriend, w-while you were m making

The same little turn of mind which we
hav been illustrating is sometimes
used intentionally, and thus become
the property of wit ins lead of blunder.
Thus we hear ol a very ( elite aud im
pressive gentlemin who said to a
youth in Hie street:
“B.*y, may I enquire whe;e Mark
Robertson’s barber shop is?”
“Certainly,sir,” replied the boy, very
respectfully.
“VS’ell, sir,” said the gentleman after
waiting awhile, “where is it ?”
“I have not tae least idea,” said the
urchiu.
There was another boy who was ac
costed by an ascetic middle-aged wo

“Boy, I want to go to Dover street ’’
“Well, mu,am,” said the boy “why

One day at Lake George a party of
gentlemen strolling among the beautiful
islands on the lake, witti b ad luck, c-s

the side of a boat.
“Hallo, boy,” said one of them,
“what are you doing ?”
“Fishing,” come the answer.
“Oi course,” said the gentleman,
“bnt what do y< u catch ?”
“Fish, you fool l What do you sup •

“Did any of you even see an ele

“ I have,” said one.

Sometimes this sort of wit degene r
ates, or rises, as the ease may be, into
punning, as when Flora pointed pen
sively lo the heavy masses of clouds

“I wonder where those clouds are
going ? her brother replied :
‘I thiiik they are going to thun

Also the following dialogue :
“How do you 6ell your wood ?”
“By the cord.”
“How long has it been cut j”
“Four feet.“
“l meat how long has is beeu since

“No longer than it is now.

“Patrick 0, Flynn, how long do you

“Twenty-eight iuches, sir !,,
This reminds one of an instance
which is said to hive occur ed ;n
Chatham street, New York, where a
countryman was clamorously beseiged
by a shopkeeper :
“Have you any 'shirts ?“ asked the
countryman
“A splendid assortment. Walk in
sir. Every slyle. The cheapest iu II e

“Arc. limy Clean?
“To be sure sir.
“Then, said the countryman, with
great gravity, ** ,o i had better put on

A New England paper,, relates the
f Bowing:” A couple of girls put 0

Daniel threw the frog out at the window
and never said a word. Soon after he
put a half bußhel of chestnut burr 8
in the girls’ bed, and about the tim e
he thought they would make lea-t

and in went the girls; but thay

Calling to them, he beggerd them to
