DANGER OF KEEELlEG TO LADIEs.-One OF
the drollest occurrences in the annals of gal
lantry is related of Gbbon, the historian,
who was short in stature and very fat. One
day being alone with the beautiful Madame
de Crouzas, he dropped on his knee before
her, and made declaration OF love in the
most passionate terms. The astonished lady
rejected the suit. and requested him to rise.
The Gbashed historian remained on bis
knees. "Rise, Mr. Gibbon, beseech you
rise" Mr.. Gibbon still kept his posture
"Mr. Gibbon will you have the goodness to
get up" "hlas, madam, =" laltered the un'
lucky lover, II cannot" he was too fat tc
regain his feet without assistance. Madame
de Crouzos rang the bell, and said to the ser.
want, cliff up Mr.. Gibbon."

few days since to the surprisingly Disgrace
ful scene which occurred in the meeting oi
the Democratic committee otTIamiIton coun-

have leaked out and become common prop
erty. A card, making the charges, has been
published over the signatures OF, prominent
Locofocos, and all in all, the party seems in
particular bad state Of feeling. ..
The statements made in the card having
been repeated in the meeting, lively row
occurred; parties gave each other the lie, E.

A PIERcs ARoUMENr.-Goy. Steele's
candy argument was very good one; but
here is another auecdote, related BY the
Boston Post, the leading LOcOfoco paper in
Massachusetts,, whichis not far behind it in
the visorousness Of its verdure:
"Gen. Pierce once spent Sabbath in a
country village in New Hampshire, aud tho
the preacher was very dull and the weather
warm, thought it his duty to attend church. -
This may be considered an extraordinary
exempliGcation of patiehce under difficulties;
and most any person may now consider him
self qualified for the Presidency, for who
has not gwen boy cent to buy candy
and who has not ut times listened to a very
dull preacher in warm weather!
But the POs' seems not Yet satisfied and
appears determined to exhibit Gen. Pierce's
lberOlity in its strongest light. It says:--
-"Once on Sabbath contribution III his
native town for Sunday school purposes, we
were grati6ed to see General Pierce empty
his pockets into the contribution box"
empty his pockets into the contribution
box" That was liberal and the only ques'
tion remaining is as to the contents of his
pockets. Upon this delicate question, the
Post, we are sorry to say, has not enlighten'
cd us, andin justice we must put the most
liberal construction upon it. Each reader
will therefore please imagine the contents
according to tho best of his knowledge ant
experience.
In conclusion we may add that the Post il
a funny paper and tmay be that it has fOun'
in an unknown" subject, good opportuni
ty for indulging in its witticisms.
