Ludicrous blunders sometimes occur IN
cases where ignorant persons attempt to use
language about the meaning Of which they
know nothing.
Not long since, while travelling from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, two rather yerdaht
specimens Of the female sex came on board
the boat at one Of the landings, whom for
the sake of distinction we will call Mary
and Jane. Now, Mary had cut her eye
teeth, or in other words, was acquainted
with the rules and regulations which govern
genteel society. Jane, the younger, had
never mixed in genteel society to any great
extent, and was therefore in blissfull igno.
rance as to any Of the rules which govern
refined people. Her language, too, was
only such as she had heard among her rus
tic associates Mary was aware of the
fact, aud had therefore cautioned her to
observe how she-Mary-acted, and to
govern herself accordingly. Jane promised,
implicit obedience. Shortly after, while
seated at the dinner table, the waiter asked
Mary what part Of the fowl she would have.
She informed him, in very polite man.
ner, that it was perfectly immaterial." -
lie accordingly gave her piece, and then
inquired Of Jane what part she would
choose. The simple minded girl replied
with all the self-assurance imaginable
81 believe LII take a piece of the imma.
tcrial too"
The scene that followed this declaration
is beyond the power Of pen to describe.
The assembled guests were compelledto
give vent to their surcharged feelings in
peals Of boisterous laughter; whilst the
poor girl, her face suffused with crimson
bushes, left the table, declaring as she fled
to the cabin" They wont ketch me aboard
Of one of these pesky steamboats, soon
agin."
