"CAN YOU REACH THEM PARTATERs ?"-Sev>
eral gentlemen ofthe Massachusetts Legislature,
dining at the Boston Hotel, one of them asked
Mr.. NJ. gentleman who sat opposite:
"Can you reach them. partalars, sir?
Mr. NJ. extended bis arm towards the dish
and satisfied himself that he could reach the
"partaters," and answered:
"Yes, sir"
The legislator was taken aback with the un-
expected rebuff from the wag but presently re-
covering himself, he asked
"Will YOU stick my fork into one on'em, thenl"
Mr.. NJ. took the fork, and very cody plunged
it into very nnely cooked polatoe, and left it

FRANKLIN AND THE BARBER.

On Doctor Franklin's arrival at Paris, as
porino,eDtiary from the United States, during
the Revolution. the king expressed wish to see
bin Immediately. As there was no going to
tbe Court of France in those days, without per.
mission of the wigmaker, wigmaker OF course
was sent for.
In an instant richly dressed Monsieur, his
o,ms folded in a prodigious muf of furs, and a
long sword by his side, made his appearance. It
was the kings wigmaker, with his servant IN a
livery. long sword by his side too, and load
of sweet. scented band boxes, full of 'de wig"
as he said, de superb wig for the great Docteer
Franklin
Oae of the wigs was tried on--a world too
small Band-box after band box was tried but
all with the same ill-success.
The wigmaker fell into the most violent rage,
to the extreme modification of Doctor Franklin,
that gentleman so bedecked with silks and
perfumes should, notwithstanding, be such
child.
Presently, however, as in all the transports oI
a grand discovery the wigmaker cried out that
be knew whore the fault lay-"not in the wig as
too small O no his wig not too small; but de
doctors head too big great deal too big"
franklin, smiling, replied that the fault could
hardly lie there for that his head was made by
God Almighty himself who was not subject to
err.
Upon this the wigmaker took little; but still
contended that there must be something The
matter with Doctor Franklin's head It was at
any rate, he SAID out Of de fashion. He begged
DR.. franklin would only please for remember,
dat his head had not de honneer to be made IN
Parree. MOI for If it been made in Parree, II
no bin more dan half such a head. None oi
The French noblesse, had head any ting like
bis. Not de great Duke D'Oreans, nor de grand
monarch himself had half such a head as Doc
teer Franklin. And he did not see, he said,
what business any body had wild head more
big dan de head of de grand monarch
Pleased to see the poor wigmaker recover his
good humor, DR.. Franklin could not find II in bis
heart to put a check 10 his childest rant but re-
lated one of his fine anecdotes, which struck the
wigmaker with such an idea OF his wit, that as
he retired, which he did, bowing most proud
ly, he shrugged his shoulders, and with look
most significantly arch, said
"Ah, Docteer franklin Doceer Franklin
no wonder yon head too big for my wig. !
'raid you head be too big for all de French ma
ton. +"

WASHING BY THE BROOK.

Where the aldeFs girt grassy
Leaf embowered nook,
There spied a cottage lassie,
Washing by the brook.
Bright the wavelets glanced beside her;
Brighter was the look
Which she gave to him who spied her
Washing by the brook.
Sweet the song Of birds around her,
Songs from natures book;
Sweeter hers to him who lound her
