witchcraft in it. The hostility to ami -masonry,
as political party, is general this side OF the
Cayuga Marshes, that the strongest anti-Jackson

Jack Moustachc, dandy of the first dimen-
SONS, having one day very significantly swore to
Miss Aurelia Plumb. the great heiress. that he
never loved but one in the whole course of his
life, occasIoned the following by young gentle
man who don't wish his name to be known to any
body but the public:
Jack makes his brsgs of his constancy,
Tie never loved hut one, not he.
Jack speaks the truth, the honest ELF,
And that one was las own dear self.
s.What is the reason" said the lovely,
Della Delice, one day, to the same young fellow.
.swhat is the reason there is nothing said in the
Bible about a certain woman, as well as "a GER
tain man?'' He answered the lady's question
in the following extempore:
"a certain man" IS phrase in scripture common
But nothing's said about ga certain wonan;'
The reason all may see ihst are not blind
A woman, never certain Of her mind
Whereupon the lady, IN imitation of the Dey
of Algiers, who was not 'safraid of his ears"
gave him great blow with her fan, which would
have annihiIated him, had it not not been for his
corsets.
"What is marriage Iike:" was the question at
game of ''What is it like?" at BaIIston one
evening The young gentleman, who don't wish
his name to be mentioned, when it came to his
turn, answered in the following extemporc:
Marriage is like A ring candle,
Placed in window Of a summer night,
Attracting all the insects of the air,
To come and SINCE their pretty winglets there;
TboSe mt Ouf hutf hon, do ustt he
And those within, butt to get out sgsin
The following lines were handed about in ma
nuscript, author unknown. They were charita-
bly, applied to worthy man, who was very libe-
raj in giving away part of what he cheated other
people out of:
Paul with his charity his conscience Gains.
lie steals pig and gives the tail for aims.
A club of jolly members of the Temperance
Society, being determined to apply with the pro-
per spirit TO their undertaking. used to meet three
times week to drink champagne, and make cpl
grams on each other. One or twocf them leaked
out. OF which we took a copy. The first was
made on Lawyer Brief, an honest fellow, who
had never been corrupted by the business of his
profession, and who sometimes fell asleep at or
under the table:
Here lies lawyer; and an honest man,
Heaven works IA wonder for us and then.
Tha other was upon Sam scapesrace, who one
night took rash oath that he would never drink
again while he breahed the breath of life:
Sam Scspegrace once to me devou,ly swore.
That while he breatled, by heavens! he'd drink no
more;
But Sam meant nothing more, as am thinking,
Than that he would not breathe while he was drink
ing.
The following lines got into circulation at Sa-
ratoga; but, as may be imagined, the author was
too wise to own them A young man in specta
cles, thck-soled shoes, and an antediluvian coat
was suspected
Says rom, on! never we'd but for prize
Young, rich, and beautiful, and good and wise; |
Not fond of dress, yet always trim. and neat;
Never pcffum'd. yet like e-bud sweet;
