A STORY OF A STOCKING.—Some twenty years
ago, there flourished in our good town of Dundee Will
Boniface, landlord of one of our most comfortable hotels,
an active good-tempered man, with a spice of humour, and
very fond of a joke. In the evenings, say towards ten
o'clock, the time of night for those who take their ease at
their inn, some one of a happy coterie would say, " Come,
Will, man, sit down and take a glass of punch with us."
Nothing loth, down he sat, and after he had had his glass,
80E119 one would say, "Well, Will, what's uppermost wi'
you the nicht, for ye ha'e aye something." "Well, gentle-
men, I've made a discovery, and"—looking round mys-
teriously and knowingly—" as I see we are all married
folks (if the half of them were bachelors the joke told the
better) did you ever notice a peculiarity of married ladies,
when going to bed that they take off the left stocking last ?"
" No—nonsense—you don't say so," &c. "Ido ; and I
assure you, from my own personal experience, it's invari-
ably the case. I cannot account for it, but so it is."
" Well," says one, " I'm always in bed first, but I'll watch."
Wagers followed ; and meeting again—" Aha, landlord, I
have you now ; I would not go to bed ; and my wife thought
1 was crazy ; but, man, ye've lost, for she took the stock-
ing off her left leg first, so you've lost, Will, my boy."
" Stop a bit," says Will, " didn't you say she took off her
left stocking first ?" "Yes." " Well, was there not one
left on ?" " Yes." " 'Well, didn't I say they always took
off the left stocking last ?" Laughter universal, " Who's
the dupe now—Come pay up," kc.—Advertiser.

SERIOUS CONDITION OF GARIBALDI.—The fol-
lowing is a private letter from Spezzia, datei Oct. 12 :
"After the letter I sent you the other day I feel you will
be anxious for further news of the poor General, and I have
collected every scrap of news I can about him in the hope o
arriving tolerably near the truth, and I regret to say that
all the reports which can be relied on agree in representing
him as very ill, suffering much pain, and being very much
depressed, both mentally and physically, and quite bent on
his scheme of going
to America, with all his followers and
sons, and fighting in the cause of liberty. I fear it is but
too likely he may never leave Varignano. After all I have
heard,
I despair myself of his recovery. He is evidently
very weak and low, and they seem to allow him to get worse
by not prescribing wine and the stimulants which I feel
convinced in England would be recommended in such
a case. He never does drink wine, I am told, when in
health, and will not touch it now. Zanetti thought ill of
his general health when he last saw him, though he did not
think the wound in a state which would render amputation
necessary. The sea air is considered so bad for him that the
doctors talk of removing him whenever he is well enough
to bear being carried by men a short distance. I got him
asked whether he would like to see an English surgeon
again, and his answer was that on no account would he
cast such a slur on his countrymen again ; he had accepted
once, but nothing now would induce him to show such
want of confidence in his present doctors; and indeed I
believe they are very good ones, and certainly most disin-
terested, as they never receive a farthing for their services,
and Prandina has left a large practice to attend upon him.
But I wish I knew whether he ought not to take port wine
regularly I am as mach as ever anxious that some
money should be placed somewhere to supply the wants
that may arise from day to day, that there may be no fearld
of Garibaldl's suffering from want of funds. I am told
