A sober people must become moral, intelligent, and freel;
a drunken people will ever be immoral, ignorant, and en-
slaved.

" Take care of the paint," as the city girls say when a fel-
low goes to kiss them.—" Music and drawing taught here,"
as the man said when he was pulling a wheelbarrow through
the streets without any oil on its axles.—" I'm laying down

AN OUTRAGEOUS Pus.—At a splendid " spread " at the
Reform Club, where B— was in every sense of the word the
entertainer, one of the company made a remark upon the
value of Shakspeare's works. " True, there is one line
of Shakspeare's," said he, " undoubtedly worth two shil-
lings

" "Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true.'
Now, there are four 'tis's in it, and four tizzies, according
to Cocker, amount to two shillings.—Crowguill in Bentley's
Miscellany.

their practices: but we think we may venture to assert
that, when they have to deal with ladies who " want summat
off," they take care to "ax accordingly." Heber, the
celebrated book buyer, being asked _by a friend if he did not
