A POLITE Doe. A lady walking over
Lansdown Heath, near Bath, was OVertaken
by large dog, which had left two men who
we're travelling on the same road with horse
and cart and followed by the animal for
some distance; the creature endeavoring to
make her sensible Of something, by looking
her in the face, and then pointing with his
nose behind. Failing in his purpose, he
next placed himself so completely in front
of the object Of his solitude as to prevent
her preceding any farther, still looking in
her face. The lady became rather alarmed;
but Judging from the manner Of the dog, who
did not appear vicious, that there was some
thing about her which attracted his atten.
ton, she examined her dress and found her
lace shawl was gone. The dog, perceiving
he was at length understood, Immediately
turned back; the lady followed and he
conducted her to W here the shawl lay.

A Western "Buster." The Cincinnati
(Ohlo) Dispatch says: The Mr.. Surtees men,
toned as having disappeared from the
counter Of the Mechanics and Traders
Bank in Cincinnati, is pretty we'll known in
this city as hard customer. He has been
known to order up sixteen punches INTO his
room for party Of three; and then to knock
down the wafer or salver on which hey were
brought 10 him. On one occasion, while
upon "beAder" in this city, he threw an
elegant little gold watch into the CRATE, and
upon the whole appears, from all testimony,
to be "severe buster" He always had
plenty Of money, and had good business
talents, and much shrewdness, when not upon
too hard q fIclic.

Age of the Globe.-In a conversation
with DIR. Lardner, stating how much we were
indebted for the discoveries in geology, de-
monstrating the antiquity Of the earth, he
replied that we need not resort to geology to
prove this fact; for as it regards the creation
of the heavenly bodies it could be proved
that the fixed stars are at such an immence
distance, that, notwithstanding light moves
at the rate of a hundred tbousaod miles per-
second, if woSld take three hundred thousand
years for ray Of it to travel through space
ere it reached the earth; so that the stars
we now see must have been created
more than three hundred thousand years ago.

A PAMrnLEr OF rHn O1p ScHooL.-

PAMPHLET OF THE OLD SCHOOL,
A pamphlet of the old fashioned
style is a composition Of much cir
cumlocution, and a sort of stuff
which is best known by the name
of palaver. 1t is a thing of stateli-
ness and decoru m, and two or three
ideas pass slowly and solemnly along
in procession Of winding phrases.
The author dances a literary min
uet, as it were, before the public,
leading out his subject, bowling to it,
putting on and taking off his hat,
flourishing now leg, now an arm,
and moving over a very small space
Of ground with vast ceremony and
parade of action-all wonderfully
imposing and unspeakably tedious
to Observation-Disclosures.

Ter, handsome young clergyman, affiliated
on the occasion in his clerical capacity.
Somehow or other, the young parson forgot
or neglected his privilege of kissing the bride,
but, when he called upon her few evenings
afterwards and found her alone, he claimed
what he regarded as his canonical right.
The blushing bride said mo-" but the IN
blushing Parson insisted. She poutcd in
anger, but the further she stuck out her pref
ty lips at him, the more seemed disposed to
meet them half way At length, impatient
of delay, he seized her in his arms, and, in.
stead of giving her single kiss, halcsmothed
with those delicious little luxuries. For
these curious proceedings the action was
brought, and the jury refused to convict the
amorous young clergyman. We suppose it
may nowbe considered as judicialiy settled in
that a clergyman, PrOvi
lied he be young and handsome, has right
10 kiss brides when & where & TO whatever
extent he pleases. Lou. Journal.

OH the 24th ult., which goes to add
one more proof that "there's many
a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip"
The parties were r. James Biggs
to Miss Martha Meeks. Accord
ing to the Rockville Journal, Biggs
was engaged to another lady, a
Miss C., and "the wedding
clothes provided, the invited guests
assembled to witness the ceremo-
nies on the appointed night. The
evening had far advanced but the
bridegroom did not make his APP
pearance-coniectures ran that he
had eloped with a maiden fair"
in the neighborhood. A party sal
lied forth to ascertain the facts con-
nected with the affair, and to report
to the bride as to the 'whereabout,
of her ''intended lord. The party
were not long in discovering that he
had married another lady. They
aroused nim from his comfortable
quarters and escorted him to O
neighboring town, were they made
a friendly proposition-either to pay
the expenses the first lady had in
Cured in preparing for the wedding,
or take coat of tar and feathers.
He, as may reasonably be supposed,
assented to the first proposition.

ment, and is ready and willing we

light, he was called in hurry, and took his
seat in the stage without paving his morning
respects to his mirror. In couple of hours;
the stage arrived at the stopping place for
breakfast, and Tom, on account of his color,
was shown into different room. from the
other passengers. and left there alone. In a
few minutes; however, he discovered his 500.

IMMIGRATION INTO MISSOURI
The St. Louis Republican states
that the tide of population pouring
into Missouri this fall is incredible
to those who have not attended to
the subject. Ofthe immigrants the
greater number are from Kentucky.
A portion are from Virginia, and an
occasional party from Maryland,
Most of the new Corners wend their
way to the settlements on the south
side of the Missouri, and the lands
along tbs Usage and its tributaries.
The lands around the heads of the
st. Francis are also attracting much
attention. A finer agricultural conn.
try than the region south Of the
Missouri river can hardly be found
in the West. and it Is filing with
good settlers.

A pretty hand and a pretty foot

A pretty hand and pretty foot
always go together-when we speak
of one, we always think ofthe other.
For this reason, stepping on a wo-
mans foot is equivalent to squeezing
her hand, and equally proper, but
sometimes more convenient, as it
can be done under the table. Be
careful, however, never attempt it
at a crowded table for fear of ma
king mistake. We once saw a
lady very much confused, who was
trying to give a signal to a gentle
man opposite, and instead of his,
she trod and pressed on the corn
covered toes of an old bachelor.
He bore it as long as he could, and
then very quietly remarked, "Mad-
am, when you wish to step on a
gentlemans toes, be particular and
get the foot that belongs to him
for the last FIVE minutes you have
been jamming my corns most infer
nally.
