BOLD AS ALION-

One o the best jokes of the season is told
by the amiable Comes, oftonsorial n%otorie-
ty. A Southern Adonis, no way celebrated
for his personal attractions, on completing
a somewhat protracted toilet one morning
turned 10 his servant and inquired:
How do | look, Cesar?
Plendid, massa, plendid, was ebony's de-
lightfnl answer.
Do you think III do, Caesar? giving him a
piece of silver.
Guy Massa, nebber see you look so fierce
in all my life; you look jist as bold as a big
lion.

you never saw one Cesar.

A LOVE OF A BONNET

A correspondent of the Boston Post gives
the following funny account of popping the
question under curious circumstances:
AS a party of pleasure was ascending Mi.
I. afew days ago,a well furnished pcrsonwith a
fishing tackle, accosted the lady, one ofthe
party, who had loitered behind her compan-
ions TO enjoy without interruption, the beau
tiful scenery which lay along the rich valley
OF the Connecticut. =.
Good morning, MADAME said the fisher
man touching his hat.
Coca asvrnirrg, SIR: reprreu me Iauy, with
a dignity of manner which would have been
considered perfect at the Court of Queen
Elizabeth.
slts a fine morning, madam cantinued
the gentleman Isaw your bonnet at the foot
of the hill, and thought | should like TO
marryIhe lady who wore that bonnet. 1t
struck my fancy exactly, and | have walked
up TO ask you how you would like to enter
that blessed state with me-
The lady was somewhat startled at the
abruptness of this proposition, and her first
impulse was TO hurry on 10 her companions;
but her dignity and self possession prevailed
and she quietly turned to the stranger and
said sit was a very serious propose. to come
from one who had never seen her before."-
But | have seen your bonnet; said be.
sand know you will suit me; | have money
and a good house at the foot of yonder hill.
My wife and children are dead; | am all alone.
If you outlive me you shall have all my prop
erty. ] have Just got a new stone for the
grave of my wife, for which | gave twenty
six dollars. buy all my things for the house
by The quantity, You shall be well provided
for in every thing. don't think you could
do better.n
The lady had seen much Of the world
had held command in the fashionable circles
of the Southland the schivalryn had ben
ded the knee 10 her beauty and accomplish
ments, and the learned 10 the intelligence
and cultivation of her mind. She had sail
ed triumphant and unconquered every where,
and TO be thus waylaid and entrapped into
matrimony. was a thing not TO be thought Of
for a moment; and so she raised heF form TO
more than its usual height, and givinS addi-
tional dignity TO the inclination of her head.
she bowed goodbye" 10 the fishing widow
er, and left him TO bestow himself and his
grave stones on som one else.
1t is TO be regretted that the pattern Of the
bonnet is moi known-if one of our bonnet
makers could only secure it-she might rea-
lie a fortune. A pop the question bonnet
would be a novelty in the region of Fancy

A TRUSTY JUROR.

In trials for offences it is usual for the
Clerk OF the Court 10 PROFOUND to each jur-
or as he is called, and before he is empan-
neled, the following questions:
Have you formed or expressed an opin-
ion concerning the guilt or innocence of the
accursed!' gr sa
'Are you akin 10 the prisoner?'
A trial for murder in the first degree, came
of a short time since, within less than one
hundred miles of civilization, when a Juror,
who had not acted in that noble capacity be-
fore-a man of light complexion and consid-
cradle spunk-vain withal, and with a dash
of what answers TO Addison's definition OF
vicious modesty,' was the very first man call
ed; TO decide upon the issue Of life and death.
The accdsed was a buck negro, shining
black, with hair as stiff and coarse as tho
teeth of a -carding machine.
Clerk-Prisoner, look upont the juror-Ju-
ror, look upon the prisoner! Do you chal-
lenge?
Counsel for sprisoner-Not p~eremptorily.
Clerk-Have you formed or expressed an
opinion with regard to the guilt or innocence
of The accused? a
Juror-Why what a question. How
should /? $50
(Clerk repeats the question:
Jnror-Why | never saw him before.
Clerk-Answer the question yes or no.
Juror--No Stree!
Court--No sport here, it is loo serious a
matter.
~CIerk--FIave you any conscientious scru-
pies?
<1uror--l have few left.
Clerk-Imeanab about inf1icting capital pun
ishment for crime?
Juror-None whatever, | do assure you.
This emphatic declaration brought the
prisoners counsel TO his feet, who was gong
TO argue that the manner in whichthe Jurors
last answer was given was a good cause for
challenge, but he was stopped by the Court.
Cierk-Are you akin TO the prisoner?
Juror--What?
[Ulerk repeats the question. Are YOU a.
kin TO the prisoner b~
rJuror--Who do you take me for?
Clerk--Are you akin 10 the prisoner?
Juror--Your face is blacker on SUNDAYS
than mine on weekdays and your hair is wool
Are you akin 10 the prisoner? .. fa.I E
Clerk-Answer the question. 81
Juror-Akin 10 the devil! My kin are
respectable people!
Here the cloudy brow of the Court indica-
ted that the conference should be cut short
and ihe prisoners counsel boding no good
from the Jurors contempluous opinion nfzI;z
UifCuT, CHaIIeHSoi rtrv Juror Iur cause, name
ly, an opinion expressed.
Juror continues--Fhat, | am insulted bv
that blackguard clerk, and now one of his
DULLES has challenged me-. No III fight the
clerk first, and his bully afterwards--no fight
ing by proxy none.
Court to Juror--sir, you are challenged
on may retire. .Ha
Juror--I never turned back on friend or
foe; I'll not retire.
C~ourt--Sir, you are committed for TWEEN
%ty-four hours for contempt of Court. Sheriff
