good effect at the present time glad to learn from

MISCELLANY.
Don't Write your Name in your
Hat.
YARN, BY DEMIJoHN.

There lived not many years since, in
a nelghboring city, gentleman who, in
ihe service OF his country and otherwise,
hah made his name a household fixture.
lie had on several occasions, when before
the enemy, signally exhibited himself.
and al the time referred 10 held a h;ob
rank. lie had many striking peculiaTi-
ties was quick tempered, imnuls;ve
brave as Julius Cesar, and as readv ,s
Hotspur to avenge personal insult, -
Our hero, among other .peculiarites d.
ways insisted upon having the lining Of
hi, hat of light color, and on the wbite
morocco always printed his name, in large
plain letters, with a pen. This habit he
acquired after having been at several
dinner parties and balls, Beau Hickman
lied by the possessors Of shocking bad
tiles.
1t happened that our subject, on a Ger,
tain occasion, was spending a few days
at Washington, and having his hat used
mp in shower, dropped into shop in
the neighborhood Of the White House 10
exchange it. A beaver was found which
fitted him to hair, and swap" was
made to the satisfaction OF both parties.
The purchaser, as usual, printed his name
upon the lining of his new hat, and LEFT
the damaged one with the owner Of the
shop, without as much as noticing The
number or position OF the store.
4 few nights after this occurrence ,ou
