YANKEE LoGIc-A Yankee went into the bar of
an Inn in country town. Pray, what's the price
of pint of shrub 2 Half dollar was the reply
of the man at the bar. We'll, then give it me-
The shrub was pourd out when the bell rang for
dinner. Is that your dinner bell q Yes Well
then, | think had not better take the shrub but
have some dinner instead This was consented to-
The Yankee went in and sat down to his dinner,
and when it was over was going out of the door
without paying. Massa,' said the negro waiter
you not paid for your dinner Il know that, took
the dinner instead of the shrub. But Massa, you
not pay for the shrub Well, I didn't have the
shrub, did you niggar q said the Yankee, walking
away The negro scratched his head he knew there
was something wrong as he had no money, but could
not make it out till the Yankee out of sight.

We were much amused the other day with the
Majors story of his first adventure in iewelry In
due time the Major got married, as all Young folks
are bound to d. and in the Of time he found
himself in New Orleans, with extra hundred dol
lars in his pocket.
Determined to do things up handsomely in the
way of presenting his wife with some costly presents
he marched into jewelry store, resolved to spend
thirty forty dollars for trinkets under the delu-
sion that sum so enormous would buy everything
and more too" The attentive clerk waited on
his summons, and handed out variety of the :: low
priced varying from dollar to fifty.
The MAJ or examined the assortment with criti-
air, and ordered something expensive, fancying that
it would reach as high as three cents"
The clerk placed upon glass case two morocco
covered boxes which, upon being opened, presented
a variety of necklaces and finger rings.
The Major eyed the collections in very critical
manner and said that he would take the largest box
demanding the price while pulling out his wallet.
"You cam said the clerk with solemnity, i" have
that box for ten thousand dollars
Internally the Major felt astonished; outside he
3hor- no bod
his pile and his expectations, just nine thousand
nine hundred and seventy-fve dollars.
With sang fro5d that sunk into the heart of the
clerk, he said:
us that the highest priced jewelry you have in
your store q!
The clerk said, It was just then"
"Well," drawled the Major, waving his hand
somewhat in the style Of julius Caesar, this don't
cost enough for me- and with a swing of grandeur
he left the store.-N. q. Delta.
ACTING IN EARNEsT-The follow NC incident
which we find related in the Home Journal is not
without parallel in the annals of the stage:
GA tenor singer, in of the theatres of Italy,
lately stabbed HIMSELF in fact, instead of dramatic
semblance, under circumstances which could hardly
be thought possible in this country of colder blood
He was young man, and had heard, that morning,
of the death of his mother With Italian passionate
ness, giving way to his grief he felt wholly unequal
to the performance of the part for which he
gagged that evening-the part Of Edgar Of RaUens-
aCo0d, in the opera OF the Bride OF Lammermoor.
The manager was inexorable however, and he was
compelled to go on. In the graveyard scene in the
last act he sang with energy and strange express
siveness which drew down overwhelming applause
from the audience and seemed like the bursting forth
of new development of genius. In the final passage
of 0 bell alma inamorata,' where Edgar addresses
with such intensity the spirit of the departed, and
plunges the dagger into his heart strange cry came
from the breathlessly actor, and: the next
moment, the attendants rushed upon the scene, at,
tracted by this and by the streaming of the blood
from the wound They lifted him, but he had indeed
h;rasalf t.,t he heart. He 1zas Aaad.n
