Curious charge Of thcf.-A young sur
geon was lately apprchended at Sheffield,
in England, charged with having stolen a
bonnet, satin slip, dimity petticoat, a
pair OF stockings with spring garters, and
another article of female apparel. On ex-
animation, ii appeared that the gentleman
had not only stolen the clothes, but the la
dy who wore them. Mamma not liking

The Upyight and the Downright Man.


Adiutant - Of the 9Th U. s. Infantry,
had been promoted from the ranks for his
gallantry. He was plain, blunt man,
from the land of steady habits, good sol
der, but as uncouth and ignorant of the
usages Of polite society as ever was Ethan
Allen. From his rude sincerity on all oc-
casions, he acquired the sobriquet OF the
Upright and Downright Man.
We once, and once only, was present
at fashionable dinner party, where he
was asked to take wine by lady OF high
fashion.
"No, | thankee, ma'om; Eve no Ca
sion," was his temperate and unsophistl-
Gated reply.
When he received official notice of his
promotion, he lifted up his hands in thanks
giving, and exclaimed, Lord, wife, we're
captain!"
The regiment being OF march,t the mar
ried officers posted in advance to secure
Accommodations for their families. One
morning they entereda country town where
were two inns--the one new, neat build
ing, which promised we'll; the other was
dilapated dwelling, directly opposite, with
rum-pole in front, from which swung
a weather-beaten sign, inscribed with the
aristocratic and imposing word HOTEL
The party would have halted at the better
tavern, but 'the upright and downright

At the hottie they breakfasted, and the

something. At last he broke forth: 81

S. was once excessively annoyed by a
tap-room oracle, who asked him thou

parentage, pay, perquisites, duties, etc.
At last the rough-hewn officer intimated
shat his inquiries were disagreeablc. "a
question IS question, mister," said he,
g but there IS such a thing as too much

a man what his father died Of"

that he had right, as one of the people to

asked, beginning to feel a little wol6sh

"Do you think you pay sixpcnce?"
"Perhaps quite as much as that" replied
Sir Oracle.
"There S your money back, then; and |
now we re quits" said the irritated soldier.
