When a pickpocket pi watch tell him plainly that you have Why are umbrellas like pancakes?— Because they are seldom seep after Lent Why are teeth like verbs? Because they are regular, irregular and defec tive. Ladies anxious for pin money should marry the proprietors of bowl ing-alleys. Query—If a sailor has been travel ing on horseback, can it be said that he rowed? pickpocket pulls at jjr< no time to spare. .An umbrella deserves no credit for its services, for it never docs any good unless it is put up to it. A young lady of sixteen who had worn short dressos all her life posi tively told her mamma she would wear them no “longer.” Mothcr-wit—the squaws have dis covered how to pi-utilize even a Piute. They make the noble savage carry the baby. “Why do you choose a single life?” asked u fashionable idler of an estima ble young lady. “Because,” she re plied, “I am not able to support a hus band.” The most striking difference between a fool and a looking-glass is that the fool speaks without reflecting, and the looking-glass reflects without speak ing. A gentleman traveling in Ireland said to a very importunate beggar, ‘•You have lost all your teeth.” The beggar quietly answered, “An’ it’s tuiie I parted with utn, wheu I'd noth ing for um to do.” 4 “I hope you will be able to support me,” said a young woman, while walking out with her intended durinj a somewhat slippery state of the pave ment. ‘ Why, yes,” replied the some what hesitating swain; “with a little assistance from your lather.” There was some confusion, and a profound silence. — An Klectiou Story In an old Pennsylvania I own where they voted the ’Democratic ticket >-ound, (so the story goes,) in 18(18 the experiment was made by putting n lb-publican ticket in the field. A Mr. Green was the candidate selected, but by reason of sickness was unable to go the polls on election day. "When the return was published, 5lr. Green had but one. Chagrined at this, and annoyed at the accusation that lie had voted for himself, he unnounccd that if the per son who voted for him would come for ward and make affidavit to the facts, lie would reward him with a suit of clothes. A few mornings afterward a burly Dutchman called upon Mr. Green anil abruptly remarked: “1 wants dat suit of does.’ “Thcu you arc the man who voted for me?” “Yah, I am dat man.” “Arc you willingto make an afii davit of it?” “Yah, I swear to cm. Mr. Green accompanied by the in tclligent voter, went to the office of justice of the peace, and the required affidavit wi 8 made; upon which the clothes were purchased and given to the deponent. At parting Mr. Green said: “Now, my friend, just answer me one question. How came you to vote for me?’’ “You vants to know dat?' 1 “Yes.” “And you von’t go back ou de does?” “No.” “Veil,” said be, slowly, and with a sly twinkle of the eye, “den I tole you —I made a mistake in de ticket!” TiikGukat Wall in China.— Governor Seward, speaking of the great wall of China, which lie exam ined during his late trip to the cast, says: The Chinese have been for at least two or three thousand years a wall- making people. It would bankrupt New Yorn or Paris to build up the walls of Perkin. The great wall of China is the wall of the world. It is forty feet high. The lower thirty is of hewn limestone and gianile. The modern carriages may puss eacli other on the summit. It has a parapet throughout the entire length, with convenient staircases, burtresss and garrison houses at every quarter of a mile, and it runs not by cutting down hills, and raising valleys, but over the uneven crests of the mountains and through their gorges a distance of a thousand miles. Admiral ltogcrs and 1 calculated that it would cost more now to build the great wall of China, through its extent of one thousand mile, than it cost to build the fifty-live thousand miles ot railroads in the Uni ted States. What a commentary it is upon the ephemeral range of the hu man intellect to see tins great vtitita- rian entox prise, so neccssaiy and effec tive a thousand years ago, now not merely useless but an incumprance ami n'u obstruction. The Newspaper. General Jackson, when President, said to one of his fiercest newspaper opponents, “send me your newspaper. 1 know that you oppose me, hut then 1 should like to see your paper every day: I want to sec how many lies you can tell on me. ’ ‘'General," said the editor. “I think J do right in opposing you, and 1 shall continue to do so with'all the ability of which 1 am master.” Hero was a man after Jackson's own heart, and ho iustautly replied with an oath, “Sir, send me your paper, for aside from your abuse of me, your pa per is a good one. Besides, 1 never saw a newspaper in which I could not find something worth reading.” Just so. No man cau pick up any newspaper without finding something of interest. You xyay take the paper and tear it into fragments, and in each fragment you will see something to xunusc or instruct you, A certain doctor who sometimes drank a good deal at dinner, was sum moned one evening to sec a lady pa tient -when lie was more than “half seas over,” aud conscience that he so. On feeling her pulse aud finding himself unabic to count its beats lie muttered, “Drunk, by Jove!” Next morning, recollecting the circumstan ces, lie was greatly vexed, aud just as he was thinking what explanation he should offer to the lady, a letter was put in his hand. “She too well knew,” said the letter, “that he had discovered the uutoriuu- ntc condition in which she was in when lie visited her,” and she entreat ed him to keep the matter a secret, iu consideration ot the enclosed—a bun dled dollar bill. Our Iricud Sawtcll, after smacking his chops over a delicious dish of strawberries, coolly talks of putting a quarter of a pound of No. 8 shot, un der the skins of depredators who infest the gardens of Cnthbert. To heighten and intensify his vengeance, and their TunUhment, he proposes to use some wnd of a mitrailleuse, which can be fired six or eight times a minute. We have noticed that Editors axe gener ally very blood thirsty, toward garden thieves while strawberries last, Alexander & WHOLESALE GROCERS, AND EelQUok fiSiUSSi Cor.
