402 PATCH WORK, Duke of Roquelaure was any thing but beautiful. Meeting one day a very ugly country squire who had business at the court, the duke introduced him to the king, saying that he lay under the weightiest obli gations to the gentleman. The king gracious ly accorded to the squire the desired favor, and then asked lloquelaure what was the nature’ of his obligation to the other. “Ah, Sire, without this dog, I should be the ugli est man in your Majesty’s dominions.” A fellow charged in an indictment for stealing a hoe, was discharged upon trial, it being proved that the article taken was an axe. Horn said that the matter was a regu lar*ho-aar. 1 , Some years ago a chap in the town of A—, Me.,having played the “gaygallant” a little too freely to a distiller’s daughter— quite overstepping the modesty of nature —he was called to account by the old gentleman, who demanded sharply “what excuse he had lor such conduct Nothing,” was the reply, “but exuber ance of spirits.” “Is that all, you graceless'?” rejoined the old fellow, as he brought dovvnhiscane upon the floor with terrible emphasis; “ then, let me tell you, sir, the sooner you get them rectified, the better!”— Yankee Blade.
