AN AMERICAN ORATOR..—" I stand," said a Western
stump orator, " on the broad platform of the principles of
'9B ; and palsied be my arm if I desert 'em!" " You stand
on nothing of the kind," interrupted a little shoemaker in
the Crowd ; " you stand in a pair of my boots that you
never paid me for, and I want the money !"
A PROVIDENT DUTCHMAN.—" What is the matter

himself with brandy until it penetrated well. " Oh,

to praudy, and then :I rubs my leg wit de Pottle."

SEVEN FOOLS.-1. The envious man : who sends away
his mutton, because the person next to him is eating
venison.-2. The jealous man : who spreads his bed with
stinging-nettles, and then sleeps in it.-3. The proud
man : who gets wet through, sooner than ride in the
carriage of an inferior.-4. The litigious man : who goes
to law in the hope of ruining his opponent, and gets ruined
himself.-5. The extravagant man : who buys a herring,
and takes a cab to carry it home.-6. The angry man :
who learns the ophicleide, because he is annoyed by the
playing of his neighbour's piano.-7. The ostentatious
man : who illuminates the outside of his house most bril-
liantly, and sits inside in the dark.—Punch.
A BUCOLIC WOOER OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT.--
The residents of Abergeldie, the summer seat of the
Duchess of Kent, were recently surprised with a visit
from a Braemar farmer, who exhibited all the symptoms
of having imbibed an intoxicating quantity of the far-
famee. Lochnagar, or " mountain dew." " Is the duchess
in?" asked the farmer.. "Yes," replied Plush, " leave
s your business." " What's the

sir," asked Plush, impatiently. " Why, d'ye see now,
the duchess is a widow, is'nt she ?" "Yes, that is well
known," replied Plush, beginning to be amused, " but
what of that?" " What of that,' rejoined the farmer,
" there is this of that—l am a widower, the duchess is a
widow, and—(hic)—/ want to get into the royal
family."

plants is sure to produce mildew. Remove any hardy
plants which it is intended to force to the pits, where the
pots can be sheltered from the weather, and the tempera-
