A Hypothetical Case.

Some years ago an awkward chap in
Western New York, who obtained his
livelihood by forgery in a blacksmith's
shop, hired a horse one day, to carry a
load of wrought nails to the next town, a
few miles distant. Through his own
awkwardness, and that of the horse, and
by the united exertions of the two, very
pretty catastrophe was brought about
While descending steep hill, the smith
gave his animal few extra cuts, thinking
to accelerate his speed in place where
gravitation seconded the motions Of the
whip, but the steed stumbled, foundered
into the ditch, and kicked-the bucket.
The blacksmith, upon turning the body
over, discovered that the anatomical har-
mony of the beasts neck was destroyed,
that the spine was dislocated beyond the
bone -setter's art, aad that in fact the boss
was dead With rueful countenance,
he repaired to the owner of the nag, and
asked what must be done' The reply
was "you must pay for the horse" The
blacksmith demurred, and went to consult
lawyer.
The lawyer happened to be away from
home, but his wife who was prone to mis-.
chievous fun, thought she saw in the client
food for little sport, and, inviting him to
enter the house, remarked that she some
times gave legal advice in her husbands
absence, and requested him to state his
case.
every WE'LL" said the blacksmith, seat
ing himself leisurely, "I'll s'pose case.'
eff you please-that will do as well as
to state your own," said the handsome at
tOrney.
"WA! yer see it's jest like this.
S'posia' you wur an old hoss-an' [ should
drive yer-drive yer to mill. An s'posin'
l should cut yer up the. leastest mite on
the flank, and you should rair up and kaeh
up, and break the breechin, and finally yer
should fail inter the ditch, and break yer
cussed neck-who'd pay for yer' would
II" asked the excited Vulcan, in voice
of thunder.
BY this time the volunteer counsellor
had retreated to the door of the apartment,
and after informing her client with cour-
tesy that his was plain case, and he need
not fear an action for damages, she disap-
peared, resolving never again to give leg;l
advice to her husbands customers.

A Political JoKE.-In neighboring

He happened on recent occasion, for

BED CHAMBER ADvENTURE.-A lady
was awakened in the night, in Boston, by
the crying of her infant in the adjoining
chamber, and in order to attend to it with
out disturbing her husbands sleep, she, as
a loving wife would do, softly drew the
coverlet over him, slipped out Of the sheets
and cropping her way to the door, went
plump into pair of masculine arms. She
very naturally felt funny, bat instead of
faintng, cried aloud with fright, arousing
the inmates of the dwelling, all of whom,
attired only in their night clothes, rushed
thither to discover the undone wife and
mother in the embrace of her husband.

ENJOYMENT OF LIFE.-Two wealth.

ENJOYMENT OF LIYE.-Two wealthy
gent emen were lately conversing in regard
to the period when they had best enjoyed
themselves. L will tell you,' says one,
when 1 most enjoyed life. Soon after l
was twenty one, l worked for Mr.. -,
laying stone wall, at taoenty cents per day.
'Well,' replied the other that does not
differ much from my experience. When l
was twenty, 1 hired myself out at seven
dollars a month. 1 have never enjoyed
myself better since.' The experience Of
these two individuals teaches, first, that
ones happiness does not depend on the
amount of his gains and the station he oc-
cupies second, that very small beginnings
with industry and prudence, may secure
wealth.
