The lady whose sleep was broken has had it mended.
A TRAVELLER.—Anybody who wants anything to
drink.— Walker.

SATISFYING ONE'S CONSCIENCE.--The president of a
French court, having occasion to rebuke several witnesses
for the want of caution they had displayed in buying
stolen goods, evidently the produce of robbery, from a
prisoner, one of them said that though he suspected the
candles had been stolen, he bought a sou's worth : but
that, in order not to encourage robbery, he had paid for
them with a bad sou !
TUE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S MANIA.—At a late inspec-
tion of one of the military colonies, lie exercised a regi-
ment of six hundred boys, the colonel being only eleven
years of age ; and they are said to have gone through
their manoeuvres with all the precision of old soldiers.
The lavish expenditure in reviews, from which no benefit
is derived, and which take place merely to gratify his
extraordinary mania for playing at soldiers, is perfectly
absurd.—Jessie's Russia and the War.
LEG-STRETCHERS.--Mrs.Nicholas, late of the Brattlebro
Democrat, says that "the drinks " are now called "leg-
stretchers "in that state. She says it is an everyday
occurrence for some passengers in the stage coaches—
while the latter are waiting at hotels for the mails—to
say, "I guess I'
11l get out and stretch my legs," which
always ends in their having a drink somewhere in the
hotel ; and intimates that it is perfectly astonishing with
what unchecked ease and frequency legs are now stretched
at liernaont.
