Dr.. YouSc's Harry IMPRoMPTU Perhaps
the happiest and most elegant imprompu
ever uttered was the following, by DR.. Young,
author of the Night Thoughts
DR.. Young, while yet young, and perhaps
poor, was walking in garden (not his owu)
with two ladies, when he was sent for by a
wealthy and influential patron who required
his services as a physician. He, much pre-.
fering The present company and occupation,
refused to go. The ladies knowing that such
a refusal wonld be very detrimental 10 his
interests, endeavored to persuade him to 90,
and failing in this elected him from the gar
den "ri CT arms"
The gate closed on him; he turned and thus
addressed his fair compellers:
"Thus Adam looked, when from the Garden driven,
And thus disputed orders from Heaven.
Like him go-like him to go am 10Th
Like him 60, for angels drove both
Hard was fate but MINE still more unkind-
HIS Eve went with him NINE remains behind

was noticed by one Of the elder deacons 10

old deacon, as he quietly stepped TO the side
Of the lad, and in whisper afieclionalely
inquired:

n. Y, thus defines fop.
"The fop is a complete specimen of an
outside philosopher. He is one third collar,
one sixth pateut leather, one fourth walking
stick, and the rest gloves and hair AS to
his remote ancestry there is some doubt, but
it is now pretty well settled that he is the
son OF a lalor's goose. He becomes ecstatic

nervous, and to dream OF tailOr's bill gives
him the nightmare. BY his air one would

such men are useful. II there were no tad

A DEAD SHOT.

Kit Carson tells first rate thing about a
sel-,o he had with Crow Indian ,ha, will
bear repeating. Carson had been ou, TO.
wards Santa Fe, as guide, &C., TO a party
OF volunteers, and being well paid for his
services, he laid in with another of the wild

whiskey. Carson and his fellow voyager
soon qnarrelled, parted, and each continued
his way alone. Carson had a good horse
and first class pack mule. The night fol-
lowing the departure Of his late friend, Car
son found himself little suspicious of In

and mule also but having large can,een
of badiace brandy, the haldy fellow took a
hearty swig and wen, on his way. Present
ly he hears dubious noises in the forest, and
not long after his keen eye delects--In-

:Oh," says the hunter, "there you are,
are ye :" and he puts his hand on the ,rig.
ger of his ,rusty rife.
Another crack of the branches, twigs and
leaves, in the distance, and the full form of
Crow Indian appearing 10 the intrepid
Kit, he jumps behind tree and looks
sharp
