JONATHANIANA.

WHO WANTS a PLACE ?—A gentleman in Nantucket ad-
vertises for " a servant of middle-sized character, large bands,
and small appetite."—This gentleman is supposed to be a near
relation of the ltdy who keeps a boarding-honso in Mobile, and
advertises for " a few young- men boarders of moderate appe-
tites and not over particular;" and to another lady in Nan-
tucket who offers economic board to " young men of moderate
means, quiet habits, early hours, no followers, and good diges-
tion for anything at hand."
it AT WE CALL PLuAsA.ov.—Under this head the Editors
of the. Philadelphia Gazette, in a leading and angry paragraph,
give the following mighty pleasant predicament:
"An Editor's office, directly opposite, an auctioneer's esta-
blishment, before which stands a huge six-foot iudividnal, ever-
more swinging aloud and horrid hell, whose tintinnabulations
might wake the Dead, and bring on a premature Doomsday !"
UNPARALLELED IMPUDENCE!—" We copy the following
unparalleled piece of impudence," says a New York Paper,
" from a scurrilous contemporary in this city, called the
European :
" Two steam vessels are making in Coik, two in the Ca-
nadas, and half a dozen in the United States, for the conveni-
f'nce of Irish emigrants. The Lord be good to the fanatics of
New York, or they will have half the shitelahs of the Emerald
Isle walking about their calves' heads before they can sa v. Jack
Robinson.' —" The fellow who Wrote it should be etothed
with feathers anti sent forth to journey for a while upon-the
most uncomlortable rail in his neighbourhood."
CONGRESSIONAL.—The Philadelphia Centinel says, "Mr.
Paynter, the regularly nominated an Buren candidate for
Congress in the place of Dr. Sutherland, is such a confounded
booby as to spell cabbage in this fashion—Ka RBITCH !" Where-
upon a down east e:litor exclaims :—" With such legislators
how can the citizens hope to save their bacon!"

CoIIRECTING THE PRESS!—We copy the following mode of
correctiny the Press from a recent number of the Boston Courier:
—" Mr. Houpt, of the Tremont , theatre, - feeling himself
aggrieved by some remarks in the flo.,•boi Post of yesterday,
called in the course of the forenoon on the editor, Mr. G.
Greene, and behaved in so insolent a manner as to induce Mr.
Greene to kick him down stairs into the street. The noise of
the scuffle attracted some notice from the neighbours, and the
discomfited actor was most terribly laughed'at, besides being
someu hat hurt by the sudden manner in which he came down
stairs."
