IgisceUancottSi. On Strawberrte*. The etrawberry is one or nature’s aweet pets. She makes them woith fifty cents, the furst she makes, and never allow them tew be sold at a mean price. The culler uv the strawberry iz like the aittiog sun under a thin cloud, with a delicate dash up the rainbo in it; its fragrance iz like the breath uv a baby when it furst begins to eat winter green lozzingers ; its flavor is like the negtar which an old-fashioned goddess used to have in the bottom uv the tumbler when Jupiter stood treat on Mount Ida. There iz many breeds of this de liteful vegetable, but not a mean one in the hull lot. I think 1 heve stole them, lying around loos, without any pedigree, in somebody’s tall grass when I wuz a lazy schoolboy, that eat dreadful easy, without any white sugar on them, and even a bug occasionally mixed with ’em in the hurry uv the moment. Cherrys is good, but they are too much like suckin’ a marble with a handle tew it. Ppaches is good, if you don’t git enny uv the pin feathers intew your lips. Watermillions will suit ennybody that iz satisfied with half sweetened drink ; but the man who ken eat strawberrys, be sprinkled with crushed sugar and bespattered with cream, (at somebody else’s expense,) and not lay his hands on his stummuck, and thank the orthor ov strawberrys and stummucks, and the phellow who pays fur the strawberrys iz a man with a wornout conscience—a man whose mouth tastes like a hole in the ground, and don’t care what goes down it. —Josh Hillings. In an interior town lives an odd char acter named Ben Hayden. Ben has some good points, but he will run his face when and where he can, never pay. In the same town lives Mr. Jacob Bond, who keeps the store at the corner. Ben had his score there, but to get his pay was more than Mr. B. was equul to. One day Ben made his appearance with a bag and wheelbarrow. ‘Mr. Bond, I want to buy two bushels of corn, and I want to pay the cash for it.’ 'Very well,’ said B. And so they both go up stairs, and B. puts up the corn, and Ben takes it down, while Mr. B. stops to close up his windows. When he got down he saw old Ben some distunce from the door, making for home. ‘Halloo, Ben ! Yon said you wanted to pay the cash for that corn.’ Old Ben sat down on one handle of his barrow, and cocking his head on one side, said : ‘That’s all true, Mr. B.; I do want to pay the cash for the corn but I can't.’ A young dandy, who was just return ed from abroad, appeared at a New York ball last week, elegantly attired in a full dress suit, with diamond studs and sleeve buttons, point lace necktie, three-buttoned gloves, hair powdered with blonde-powder, French heels to his boots, a strong suspicion of rogue on hit cheeks, and a piece of court plaster on his forehead. The girls made so much fun of him that he retired before supper. A gentleman in search of a man to do some work met on his way a lady, not as young as she once was, and asked her, ‘Can you tell me where I can find a man?’ ‘No, I can not,’ she replied, ‘for I have been looking these twenty years for one myself. Jones says that he first met his wife iu a storm, took her to the first ball in a storm, popped the question in a storm, lived Iris subsequent married life in a storm, and buried her in pleasat weather. ‘Doesn’t this lovely scene animate you?’ asked Anna of her lover .•—‘No,’ he said, ‘nothing but yon can Anna-mate me/ Oh, say yes, my darling.’ She did say yes, and his cup of animation was full. ‘Josiah, how many scruples are there in a drachm ? Don’t know zur.’— ‘Well, recollect there are two.’ ‘O, there is, hay ! Well daddy takes his every morning without any scruples.’ An old minister, the other day, asked a woman what could be done to induce her husband to attend church. *1 don't know,’ she replied, ‘unless you were to put a pipe and jug of whisky into the pew.’ A policeman asked a drunken zEthiop whom he could scarcely see in the dim light of a cell. ‘Are you colored ?’ ‘Colored, no; dis yer chile born so.’ Wisconsin belles organize hunting parties, take their little shot guns and stride off to the woods, without any horrid men to bother them.
