A SPEtcH.--The late number Of the knick-

OF several Collegians, who, for the Joke of the
thing, went on a lecturing tour in the country
towns IN New York. On the first evening
they went into the "ShakSpcrian Reading"
business. A large audience of both sexes were
collected in the hall, when the orator Of the
evening introduced his readings with the fol-
towing speech

Snap went the eyes AGAIN. and up cooked

Snap went the eyes again, and up cooked
the little nose as she retoned:
:" shall do no such thing, sir; and, more
over, will be obliged to you if you will
mind your own business"
"Well, now, you see, I've set my heart in
to fixing this, and it don't seem as though L
could think of being disappointed. And I've
about made up my mind that, unless you fix
it 50, shall be obliged TO give up my seat
10 the old gentleman, SOS to bring him as
near as possible to his wife, and shall hey
to come and sit along oyou. l dunno but
you'd like that arrangement: I'm considered
some among the girls where live"
A look Of determination began now to
CLEAN from the corrugated face of the coun-
tryman, and the young lady, with mingled
alarm and indignation fastened to reply:
You'd better take care what you do, sir:
I'm not to be insulted with impunity"
"Oh, I'm responsible" was the only ans
wer, as he led the gentleman to his own seat,
and Immediately commenced crowding into
the place by the side of the young lady. This
movement she resisted, when, encirclng her
waist with his brawny arm, he lifted her up
as though she was child, planted her firm
ly at the other end of the seat, and settled
himself comfortably into his place.
There" said he, "that's the dandy. Now
let's hey little turn Of conversation. You'll
find me ore Of the pleasantest fellows you
ever did see in private conversation"
The reader may we'll suppose there were
screams and struggles, and eyes that flashed
through tears, and threats of vengeance by the
quantity, while the passengers on every side,
staggered by the CromweIiian boldness OF
! this coup Getat, and moro than doubtful of
its propriety, but rejoicing in spite of their
mi>giyiHgs, over the sudden retribution that
had betailon the enemy, were yainly striving
to conceal their merrimcnt.
"Yol brute. you villain! I never was 50
insulted in my life It's outrageous for the
passengers to permit it Conductah! con-
ductah wa-augh's the conductor? Well see
if ladies' arc to be insulted with impunityl"
Fetch on your conductor" says the i'm
perturable squatter, Il would have him to tel
us what lady in a car is"
!, Out bounded the lady in a rage: "Td rath-
err jump off upon the track than ride with
such a beast!n
Immediately the Hoosier rose, turned owe
the revolving back, removed the lady's thing
carefully to the seat on which her companion
mute and terrified, was sitting, placed the
passive old gentleman and his wife who obeyeC
him with an amusing reliance upon his SUI
perior ability, into the vacant places, whil
he assumed bis with the air of man wht
has served his generation.
The elected lady soon returned to the sid
of her companion, and in crest fallen anc
nnobtrusive mood retaining her place to the
end Of her journey.-Syracuse Chronicle.

Cen. Leslie coombs on storr Tellina.

Few men have ever gone to Congress with
more fun popularity than the Hon. Leslie
Coombs of Kentucky. In the way of anec-
dotes, he is une1ualed, while his mode oftel-
ing stories imparts tone to them that no one
can appreciate who hasn not made hisacquain-
lance.
Among the characters" that Mr.. Coornbs
knows like book is old Major Lucky, whose
taste for Dragging amounts at times to the
sublime. Whenever the Major has strang-
er in the neighborhood, he "opens wide and
spreads himself" and with a success that leaves
us nothing to desire. The following scene
took place between the Major and COL Pc.
