If there is anything bad about you say it yourself. It's a melancholy thing when those you depend on turn against you, as the gentleman said when the baker asked him to pay his bill. "How are you?', asked a gentleman of a desponding neighbor. I'm like, the root of your tongue," was the reply. "How so?" "Because I'm down in the mouth." Our friend Cory was astonished the other day by a young lady who came to ask innocently: "How long does it take to get a photograph after you leave your measure?" An Irishman who was illustrating the horrors of solitary confinement, made the melancholy statement that out of one hundred persons sentenced to endure this punishment for life, only fifteen survived it! The following conclusion to the life of Robespierre appeared in a London paper: "This extraordinary man left no children behind him except his brother, who was killed at the same time." A young lady gives the following catalogue of different kinds of love: "The sweetest, a mother's love; the dearest, a man's love; and the sweetest, longest, dearest love, a love of a bonnet." "Mother," said Ike Partington, "did you know that the iron horse, has but one ear?" "One ear! merciful gracious, child, what do you mean?" "Why the engineer of course." A person inquired at one of the railway stations what time the 7:45 train would start and was told a quarter to eight. "Bless me," he exclaimed, "you are always changing the time on this line." A countryman entered a New Bedford restaurant where a lot of flaming menagerie bills were posted and on being asked what he would have, replied: "I guess I'll take a cup of coffee and three menageries. A lady who had been subpoaened as a witness on a trial, asked her husband, in great trepidation, what she should say if the lawyer inquired her age. "Say?" he replied.- "Why, tell them you have not yet reached the years of discretion." A young lady from the seminary of M- being asked at the table if she would have some more cabbage, replied: "By no means, gastronomical satiety admonishes me that I have arrived at the ultimate culinary deglutition consistent with the code of Escurapins. A veritable story is told of a bright little girl, who attending sunday school for the first time, was asked, "who went into the lion's den?" The child appearing puzzled, the teacher commenced spelling to awaken the child's memory. "D-a-n-" "I know now," exclaimed she, "it was Dan Rice. One of the best double puns we have ever heard was perpetrated by a clergyman. He had just united in marriage a couple whose Christian names were respectively Benjamin and Ann. "How did they appear during the ceremony?" inquired a friend. "They appeared both annie-mated and benni-fited," was the ready reply. "Ma, will you holler if I bite you say?" My child that would be very painful to me, and I might scream. Well, then, what is the reason sister Sarah didn't scream when the singing school master bit her right in the mouth, and bit her hard, too, 'cause she put her arms around his neck and tried to choke him-why didn't she holler-say?" "Does this razor go easy" asked a barber of a victim who was writhing under a clumsy instrument whose chief recommendation was a strong handle. Well, replied the poor fellow, that depends on what you call the operation. If you are skinning me, it goes tolerably easy; but if you are shaving it goes rather hard. Come, William, give us something, said the person. Can't do it, replied Bill. Why not? Is not the cause a good one? Yes, but I am not able to give any. Poh! poh! I know better, you must give a better reason than that? Well, I owe too much money-I must be just before I am generous you know. But, William you owe God a larger debt than any one else. That's true, parson, but then he ain't a pushing me like the balance of my creditors. The parson's face got into a rather serious condition and he passed on. Josh Billings says: "Whiskee, the great American beverage, is the great daddy of all liker, and everything that had a good, reliable drunk in it, iz at least a cuzzin to whiskee or old rie, and his onest opinion; is second to the original sin; is iz the mill stun, hung upon the neck of poor, degraded human nature, and if the devil was allowed leave of absence for six months, tew visit this yearth, the first thing he'd do would be to lobby our legislature for a repeal of the excise law, and then invest his pile in gin mills."
