A sober people must become moral, intelligent, and free!;
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
the law," as the client said when he floored his counsellor.
AN OUTRAGEOUS PUN.-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 or Shakspeare's works. " True, there is one line
of
Sliakspeare's," said he, " undoubtedly worth two shil-
lings:—

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

THE WAY OF WOMEN.—In the Newcastle" market on
Saturday, a lady asked the price of a goose. Four and
threepence," said the woman at the stall. The
"
of course, was, " I will give you four shillings."rejoinder,
Very
well " said the woman ; • You may have 't for four ; for,
you see, I clapped t' threepence on, because I knaw'd you'd
want sarnmat off. Aw always find that the way o' woman is
to hey threepence off the use, and a penny off t giblets
—an' se aw axes accordingly !" Shopkeepers less candid
than the goose merchant, are not in the habit of confessing
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
receive good discounts on making his purchases, replied,
"No sir, it is an absurd system—a discount will only answer
—at the second and all future purchases, the trades-
man, in self-defence, w#ll —l-Y something on, to be prepared
for your demand.
