HAVE PATIENCE. A youth and maid, one winter night, Were sitting in the corner; His name, ware told, was Joshua White, And hers was Patience Warner. Not much the pretty maiden said, Beside the young man sitting ; Iler checks were flushed a rosey red, Iler eyes bent on her knitting. Nor could he guess what thoughts of him Were to her bosom flocking, As her fair fingers swift and slim, Flew round and ronnd the stocking. V hile, as for Joshua, bashful yonth, His words grew few and fewer ; Though all the time to tell the truth, Ills chair edged nearer to her. Meanwhile the ball of yarn gave out, She knit so fast and steady, And he must give his aid, no doubt, To get another ready. lie held the skein; of cottfse the thread Got tangled, snarled and twisted; “Have patience l” cried the artless maid, To him who her assisted. Good chance was that for fortune-tied churl, To shorten all palaver ; “Have Patience!” cried he, “dearestgirl! And may I really have her?” The deed was done; no more that night Clicked needless in the corner— And she is Mrs. Joshua White That once was Patience Warner. jilisffUancflDS. HOW I GOT INVITED TO DINNER. Mv gettin’ the better of my wife’s father is one of the richest things on record. I’ll tell you heow it was. Yeou must know that he is monstrous stingy. The complaint seems to run in the family, and everybody ’round our parts used to noticed that he never hy any chance asked anybody to diue with him. So one day, jist for a chunk of fun, I said to a friend of mine, Jeddy Dowkins—a dreadful nice feller is Jeddy—“l’ll bet you a penn’orth of shoe strings ’ginst a row of pins, that I get old Ben Merlins, that’s my wife’s father, to ask me to dinner.” “Yeou git eout,” said Jeddy ; “why, you might as well try to coax a cat into a show er bath, or get moonbeams eout ofcowcum bers.” “Well,” said I, “I am going to try.” And try I did, and I’ll tell yeow how I went to work. Jist as old Ben was sittin’ down to din ner, at cue o’clock, I rushed up to the house, at a high-pressure pace, red-hot in the face, with my coat-tails in the air, and my eyes rolling about like billiard-balls in convul sions. Ilat~a tat-tat— ding-a-ling-a-ling. I kicked up an awful rumpus, and in a flush out came old Ben himself. I had struck the right minnifc. He had a napkin under his chin, and carvin’ knife in his hand. I smelt the dinner as he opened the door. “O, Mr. Merkins,” said I, “I’m tarna tion glad tosee you. I feared you moughtn’t beat home—l’m almost out of breath. I’m come to tell you I can save you a thousand dollars 1” “A thousand dollars!” roared the old man ; and I defy a weasel to go through a crack any quicker than his face burst into smiles. “One thousand dollars ! You don’t say so! du tell!” “Oh,” said I, “I see you are just havin’ dinner neow. I’ll go an’ dine myself, an’ then I’ll come back and tell you all about it.” “Nonsense,” said he ; “don’t go away ; come in aod sit down, and enjoy yourself, like a good fellow, and have a snack with me. lam anxious to hear what you have to say.” I pretended to decline, sayin’ “I’d come back but I’d thoroughly stirred up the old chap's curiosity, and it ended by his fairly pullin’ me into the hoase, and I made a rattlin’ dinner of of pork and beans. I managed for some time to dodge the main pint of his inquiry. At last I finish ed eating, and there was no further excuse for delay ; besides old Ben was getting fidg ety. “Come neow,” said he, “no more preface. “About that thousand dollars ; come now, let it eout!” “Well, I’ll tell you what, said I, “yeou have a dartar, Misery Ann, to dispose of in marriage, have yeou not ?” “What’s that got to do with it?” inter rupted he. “Hold your proud steeds—don't run off the track—a great deal to do with it,” said I. “Neow, answer my question.” “Well,” said he, “I have.” “And you intend, when she marries, to give her SIO,OOO for a portion?” “I do,” he said. “Well, neow, here’s the pint I’m coming to. Let me have her, and I’ll take her with S9OOO ; and 9000 from 10000, according to simple addition, jist leaves 1000, and that will be clean profit—saved as slick as a whistle 1” The next thing I knew there was a rapid interview goin’ on between old Ben’s foot and my coat-tails—and I am inclined to think the latter got the worst of it.

A Key to a Person’s Namf.—By the accompanying table of letters the name of a person or any word may he found out in the foliowing manner ; A B D II P C C E I Q E F V .1 R G G G K 8 I J L L T K K M M U M N N N V O O 0 o w Q R T X X S 8 V z Y U V V Y Z W v VV W Y Z Let the person whose name you wish to know inform you in which of the upright columns the first letter of hts name is con tained, If it be found ia but one column, it is the top letter ; if it occurs in more than one column, it is found by adding the Alphabetical numbers of the top letters of these columns, it and the sum will he the number of the letter sought. By taking one letter at a time in this way the whole name can be ascertained. For example take the word Jane. J is found in two columns commencing with B and 11, which are the second and eight letters down the alphabet; the sum is ten, and the tenth letter down the alphabet is J. the letter sought. The next letter, A, appears in but one column, where it stands at the top. N is seen in the columns headed with B, D, and II ; these arc the second, fourth, and eight letter of the alphabet, which, added, give the fourteenth, or N, nnd so on. The use of this table will excite no little curi osity among those unacquainted with the foregoing explanations. Bad Penmanship —Old Blifkens gave his ideas in the matter of penmanship the other day to a select party ot friends : Says he: “A good hand-writtin is a big thing in this world, aod a feller as can write first-rate can get inter any persish he likes and at good wages, too. A teller as writes good don’t never need to pack a hod or drive a bud team he’s all right. Jest look at the bad hand writins in the world. Look at Rufus Choate or Ward Beecher—would either of ’em do for County Recorder?—not much. Look at Horace Greeley. He alters writ bad, and he went from bein’ reporter to bein’ editor, and kept on gettin’ wusser and wusser till now his handwritin is so degraded that he isn't fit for a common clerk or a copyist—no, he wouldn’t even mak a good book-keeper for a swill-cart.” Forgiveness. —The brave only know how to forgive. It is the most refined and gen erous pitch of virtue, human nature can arrive at. Cowards have done good and kind actions ; cowards have even fought, nay. sometimes even conquered ; but a coward never forgives. It is not his nature. The power-of doing it flows only from a strength and greatness of the soul, consci ous of its own force and security, and above the little temptations of resenting every fruitless attempt to interrupt its happiness. This is as true as preaching. Let any one skeptical notice and profit by their judg ment. Courage. —The Louisville Courier-Jour nal, in an article commenting on the late Memphis duel, says: “iu this age a bully’s denunciation can affix no lasting stigma. The war proved personal courage to be the common heritage of our race, and that none stood the test so poorly as the duelist and the bully. No man now regards the accep tance of of a challenge as a proof of cour age. On the contrary, the tendency is to regard it as an act of cowardly deference to the standard of mock chivalry set up by a class who are wanting in genuine courage and real manliness.” Mrs. Partington has been sick, and be ing inspired, expressed her feelings in the following language: “La, me! here I have been suffering the bigamies or death for throe weeks. First, I was -eized with a bleeding phrenology in the left hampshire of the brain, which was exceeded by a stoppage of the left ventilator of the heart. This gave me an inflammation of the borax, and now I’m sick with the chloroform mor bus. There’s no blessing like that of health, particularly when you’re sick.” There was once a very illiterate gentle men (one Peter Patterson) appointed as" Justice of the Peace The first day his clerk handed him a duplicate writ. “Well, wot shall I do with it!” was the query. “Nothing but sign your initials,” was the reply. “My nishuls; what are they?” “Why two P’s, replied the clerk, impatient ly.
