TIE HAPPY TYPO.

A cheerful temper is a natural gift, the de-
STABILITY of which cannot be questioned. but
seldom do we meet with a spirit so thorough
ly saturated with good nature that no disap-
pointment, no poverty, deprivation or combi-
nation OF adverse circumstances can break il
down or overcome its geniality. But yester-
day morning man made his appearance be-
fore Justice Brennan, who seemed to have a
perfect fountain of undluted contentment
somewhere III his composition, which no de-
pressing influence of care or accident had
been able TO exhaust or aduterate-a tyn) a
modern editor of Mark Tapey-a human
barrel Of joliness, without hoops ON. He
was arrested for being intoxicated. He gave
his name as Gettyphat Take. and said he
was printer, and hailed from The Gem of
Science Office lie is a short man, of beer
cask figure, and a face as rubicund as if he
slept IN room with red curtains. Ills an
swers TO the questions of the authorities
showed his cOntentment under all shades Of
fortune. The Justice being also in Il genial
humor. was inclined to banter the decple OF
Ben Franklin, and accordingly addressed him
as follows:
Judge-Well, Mr. Take, it seems You have
thrown aside tho composing stick. and gone
to getting drunk for living. I'm afraid
you're bad case and stand in need of cor
recting.' think | shall send you TO 'quod.'
These technecalitics. which were uttered
III sort of you-sce-l know w-your.tradc-aS-well
as-you-do air which seemed 10 give Mr.. Take
that assurance which printers seldom lack,
but oi which the so'emnities ola Police Court
might temporarily have deprived him, and he
answered:
