Mr.. A. K---- a;;;i lis becoming
br;d.', who had list a"riy>i tir2m fl,r,Iysi
parts tork up their alole IN oae ofonr
fa<il;onab'e h 'teIs, and sprn: t'1a list day

Of seeing tie toG,, begged her husband,
one m,rning to c:;ort her on a Stroll Of
discovery; and accordingly they issued
forth determined to ''astonish the natives"
by the spicndour of their raccoutrements-
In which, as wi! shortly appear, theywe-e
quite successful.
Having satisfied their OPTICS that the VII
lage was "wonderfii.y ciyilizcd for a say
age country" they found their way TO a
pleas Int promenade on the env:rons, VIII
ther the haut ton Of our city were wont to
rasort;-but, as i luck had ordained It
"Lovering clouds o'ercasttae to'en,"
ard the rain soon pa''"rcd down il ahuF-
dance. No place of shelter being nEar,
and Mrs. K. being intent upou preserving
her silks undamaged, cast her eye around
and seeing only few ladies and g2ntle-
men behind, Immediately gathered up her
u Naad garnant and threw it over her
bonnet it ben" the common resource at
home. Scalc l.. had she walked dozen
steps beside her liege lord, when an Ill
suppressed litter assailed her ears; but
knowing full WI that her own un3:css
was white as the driven snow, she attrihu-
ted their mirth to manrais honte, and pll-
ming her head aloft, stepped forward with
The air of a Gulbeyaz. The individuals
behind, for reasons best known to them
selves, could no longer contain their laugh
ter, and in defiance of etiqu2tte, burst out
into roar.
"Heaven, dear Alc!!' whispered the la
dy, sis it at me the monsters are laugh
ingp
II don't know my, dear; walk on lit
tie" was the reply.
20 no; letus go on slow and allow them
to pass
In vain they slackcned their pace-the
distance between them and their FLOWERS
remained the same; and the mirth OF those
behind, knew no bounds.
"Do step on my dear" sad Mr.. K. not
a little annoyed-when, Dye king OF MIRA
c|es! what a sight greeted h:s eyes! In
flaming letters, he read on his canvass
trunk cover, (Which the lady had strung
round her hips in the hurry Of starting. Ill
the absence of better bsssit , ak
Of"
1t is unnecessary 10 aid that they kept
their room during the remainder OF Their
sojourn.
An Innkccper lately complaining to
gentleman that his house was greatly. N
tested with rats, and that he would willing
ly give considerable sum to get rid OF
them, was on the following morning thus
accosted by Frenchman after he had re-
ceived his bill. Il will assure you>slr, l
tell you vich way you shall get rid of the
rat" 81 will be much obliged to you if
you can," replied the landlord. "Vel den,
only charge de rat as you charge me, and
I'll be hanged if de rat ever come to your
house again.
What is more hateful than puppyhed
dandy? starched up nincompoop! wit,
less ninnyhammer! soft paved squirt!
or an empty headed ass, struttlng with
coxcomb's air stepping like waxed doll
on wires, and talking as if the English Ian:
guage was too vulgar to be spoken! We
saw one the other day, and from the bot
tom of our stomach we hope we
"Ne'er may look upon his like again."
Thus he held forth:
Foine weathea this mawrning----d-----n
foine-think l shall dome four, and take q
drieve to-day-just from New Yauwk-
