The Humbugged Husband.


She's not what fancy painted
I'm sadly taken in;
If some one else had won her,
Should not have cared pin.
l thought that she was mild and good
AS maiden ere could be;
wonder how she ever could
Have SO much humbugged me.
They cluster round and shake my hand,
And tell me / am blest;
My case they do not understand,
/ think that know best.
They call her fairest of the fair
They drive me mad and madden;
What do they mean? lido declare
only wish they had her.
IT'S true that she has lovely locks
That on her shoulders fall;
What would they say to see the box
In which she keeps them ALL
Her taper fingers, it is true,
Are difficult to match;
What would they say if they but knew
How terribly they scratch?

A LEGAL ANEcDoTE.--The following anec-
dote used to be related by the Hon. jeremiah
Mason, of New Hampshire, and it is said to
have occurred at Portsmouth:
There is well known custom prevailing 10
our criminal courts, assigning counsel to such
prisoners as have no one to defend them. On
one occasion, the court finding man accused
of theft, and without COUNSEL said to wag of
a lawyer, who was present: "Mr., -, please
withdraw with the prisoner rs may be best for
his interests" The lawyer and client withdrew,
and in fifteen minutes the lawyer returned into
court alone. "Where is the prisoner % asked
the court. "He has gone your honor told me
to give him the best advice Tcouid for his inter-
est and as he said he was guilty, thought the
best counsel l could offer him was to 'cut and
rum which he took at once"

for the past year to be eight hundred thousand
Bibles and Testaments. 1t is estimated that, If
