A PRACTICAL JOKE.

A gentleman of considerable talent as
an orator become a member of the ltgis-
lative body. in one the Eastern States.
In speaking he was addicted to all old
habit of handling his spectacles; first
placing them on his nose. suffering the m
TO remain minute or two, throwing
the In upon his forehead, and finally fold
ing them up and layl ng them before him
on the desk One day a very important
question came up for consideration, and
he commenced a speech in opposition.
A friend to the proposed measure, VITO
was most lncorragible wag withal. de
termined to spoil the effect Of the honor
able members remarks, and accordingly,
before he entered the house, provided
himself with dozen pair OF spectaclcs;
the member commenced his speech with
his usual ability. But few minutes
had elapsed before he was at work with
his spectacles and finally got them upon
his forehead. At this juncture our wag,
who stood ready, laid another pair upon
the desk before the speaker. These were
taken up, and by gradual gradations,
gained place upon his forehead, By the
side of other. A third. fourth and fifth
pair were disposed OF the same manner
A smile settled upon the countenances of
he honorable members. which gradually
enlightened into grin. and at last, when
the speaker had warmed into ore of his
most patriotic sentences, he deposited a
sixth pair with the others, and there was
one long and loud peal Of laughter from
all quarters of the hall--presidents, clerks
and members joining in the chorus. The
speaker looked around him in astonsh-
ment at this curious interruption; b 1t
raising his hand, he grasped the specta-
cles and the whole force of the joke rush
ed upon his mind. He dashed the glas-
ses upon the floor, took his hat and left
the hall. The bill passed by triumph
ant majority. probably in consequence
of the gentleman's silly and useless hab-
it.

CURIOUS DECISION. lawyers in

judging from the following laconic decis-
ion made by Judge Edmonds, on Satur-
day week;
Bloodgood VS.. Trow.-Being unable
to find out from the papers, what the
parties want. or what they are after. the
motion, whatever it is. must be denied.
Myers & Co., VS.. Huntly.-A motion
to change place of trial denied, mainly
because the moving papers are SO illegi
BILE that they cannot be read.

YOUNG LADIES F.!

Never marry a man who treats his
mother or sister unkindly or Indifferent
ly; such treatment is a sure indication OF
mean and wicked heart. A young
man guilty of such meanness will never
make a good husband. When you see
young man who is affectionate to his
aged mother and sisters, attentive to all
their wants with filial love and tender
ness, virtuous and lovely in his deport-
ment, fear not; his worth is above rubies
