A Bungler in Flattery.

There was my poor friend Snifton, he hated
pig and prune sauce as he hated poor relative;
nevertheless for twenty years did he consent
10 eal il at his uncle's table; nor could be find
words rich enough wherewilh 10 do honor to
uncle's pig and prune sauce. Uncle died
F" Thank heaven" cried Snifton, " shall now
receive my reward in hard cash for my sacri-
fee 10 that demand pig and pruns sauce"
The will was read and thus was Snilton re-
warded: " And hereby give and bequealh to
my dearly beloved nephew, Peter Snifion, in
consideration of his peculiar love of my pig
and prune sauce, the whole and sole recipe,
whereby he may cook it," My son, be wary
and avoid such wrelchss.--PUncRs Letter to his
Son.

Popping the Question.

One of the merriest fellows Of The day is the
gallant Col Carter of tue Lycoming Gazette
The following are his grave and profound re-
marks upon the important science Of :" Popping
the question"
Girls are queer little animals; angels we In
tended to have said and we love 'em all, in
spite of their faults, folly and flirting. We have
F." popped the question" at least a dozen times
have we been refused. The reverses have not
engendered feeling Of despair and strange as
it may sound, we are on as good terms with
ourself as ever We rather attribute this want
of success 10 want of taste and discernmenl
on the part of certain fair oues and dark as the
prospect now is, we entertain faint hope that,
perhaps al some distant day we may yet WOO
and win some young, mddle-aged, or even old
lady, worthy of our small means, and extensive
prospects, worthy of our high standing, (six feet
in our socks,) and worthy of those graces Of
mind and person which we are supposed by
many to possess But this is an episode-only
INDUCED in TO show our dear Maria, that the
decision of this momentous question has been
left TO person who has had some experience
in the wayward, strange, queer, puzzlIng, pro-
voking, perplexing, incomprehensible and ca
pricious ways of lovely woman. Now to the
text.
If a gentleman should meet with repulse--
a refusal--il is wholly and solely his own
fauli.-I, is in his power to ascertain the slate
of the lady's feelings before he unbosoms'
himself. But how Of course, she will never
make tender confession in tender words or
tender looks. oh, no She will use very little
arlifce to convince him ,ha, she does not care
Two siraws for him, but if she really loves, she
belrays the existence of the tender passion in
hundred different ways in the presence Of the
dear object" Ii she meets the "object in
The street, she riss TO look cold and composed
but bushes 10 her temples. II they should be

yoma.han's ThanksgivIng.-

Did you ever 60 up TO thanksgiving!
swaggers what oceans of cakes
Confounded fine lots Of good living
What darned sight of 'lasses it takes
By golly what despot great chickens!
As big as old roosters, | van
And turkeys as fat as the dickens,
never did see such, swan!
And then there's the gravy and tatur,
Gaul darn it how mealy and fat!
And puddins-it does beat all natur,
couldn't get one in my hat
Good laud what a thunderin' pie,
Made right out of punkins, guess;
/ wonder if the crust's made of rye
swanny, III eat a whole mess.
BY thunder just look o'here-
What 'tarnal big pile Of plums,
And cake, full of 'lasses--oh, dear!
Odd rot it how it sticks to my gums
And then there's the fiddlin' and dancin',
And gals, all as cute as a whistle;
The fellows are kickin' and prancin'-
Their legs are as nimble as gristle.
The old cat if there aint our Sal,
Jumps up and down like grasshopper-
BY jings, what's got into the gal
don't s'pose the devil could stop her.
My sta1s how like Sahcho they blow it;
What darn'd Gurus capers, | swow!
/ vumper, wish | could 60 it,
ID kick up bobbery, VOW.

after what seemed All age on the rack, keeping
special good lockout upon the bull, at Length
started in pursuit with the lassos, caught The
horse around the neck, and brought him W
headlong. The picadores extricated their ial
len companion, and carried him out. His lace
was so begrimed with dirt that not feature
was visible; but as he was borne across the
ring, he opened his eyes, and they seemed
staring from his heaG with terror.
He was hardly out of The ring, when hoarse
cry ran through the spectators, :" pie pae'
ION fool! on fool" The picadores dlsmounted
and attacked the bull fercely on foot, flourish
ing their ponchas. Almost at the first thrust
he rushed upon one of his adversares, tunlbed
him down, passed over his body, and walked
on without even turning round TO look al him.
He TOO was picked up and carried off.
The attack was renewed, and the bull be-
came reused. In a few moments brought an
other picador to the ground, and, carried on by
his own impetus, passed over the body, but,
with a violent effort, recovered himself, and
turned short round upon his PROSTATE prey,
glared over him for a moment with low bel
low, almost howl, and: raising his fore feet a
little from the ground, so as TO give full force
10 the blow, thrust both horns into the stomach
Of the fallen picador. Happily the points were
sawed off! and furious at not being able TO
gore and toss him, he got one horn under the
pcador's sash, lifted him and dashed him back
violently upon the ground. Accustomed as the
spectators were 10 scenes of this kind, there
was universal burst Of horror. Not a man
attempted 10 save him. Ii would, perhaps, be
unjust to brand them as towards, for brutal and
degrading as their lie was, they doubtless had
a feeling of companionship, but at all events
not man attempted to save him, but the bull
after glaring over him, smelling and paving
him for a moment, moment 100 Of Intense
excitement, turned away and left him.
This man, too, was carried off. The SYM
palhy of the spectators had for a while kept
them hushed but as soon as The man was
out of sight, all their pent up feelings broke out
in Indignation against the bull, and there was
cry, in which the soft voices of wo
men mingled with the hoarse voices of the
men, +" Maialo malaloI' Kill him kill him ~
The picadores stood aghast Three of their
had been struck down and carried
off The field the bull, pierced in several places,
with blood streaming from him, but fresh as
when he began, and fercer, was roaming
round the ring, and they held back. evidently
afraid to attack him. The spectators showered
upon them the approbious name Of " cobardes!
cobardes 20 "cowards towards !" The dra-
COON enforced obedience 10 their voice, and
oriifying themselves with strong drsught OF
lqua arden,e, they once more faced the bull
poised their spears before him, bu. with faint
hands and trembling hearts, and finally. without
single thrust, amidst the contempluous shouts
If the crowd, fell back, and left The bull master
If the field.

ERlS and Outs.

I'm out of cash, and so of course,
I've pocket-room to let;
I'm out of patience, just because
I'm never out of debt.
Besides Pm dreadfully in love,
And more than half in doubt
Which is the greater evil, that
OF being in or out.
I'm deeply in my tailor's books,
But don't mind dun;
And, if wasn't out of funds.
I'd pay him, out of fun.
He always gave me fits,' he said,
But heaven bless his eyes!
'Twould put him in fit, guess
He'd be in such surprise.
I'm out at elbows in distress,
An mines sorry tale
I'm out Of favor, out of sorts,
But then I'm out of Jail.
My landlord says my tame is out,
And thinks I'd better shin;
I'm such an "out and outer" he
Won't have me in his inn.
I'm out of Office, but in hopes
To get put in some day:
If don't run for something Soon
I'll have to run away.
I'm out of spirits, and Pm out
gilmore than | can think;
I'm out of temper; hang the pen!
BY gosh. I'm out Of Ink!
