a Nonunar ,,.,,.eal Loafer.

A fellow in q complete suit of faded cor
duroy, and very dirty withal, tumbied OH
the steps of st. Andrew church, just as the
watchman arrived at the spot, and making
two or three revolutions on the pavement,
stopped face upward before the officer, and
propounded the following query:
II say, watchy. are you pretty sharp at
conundrnms? Why am like backsliding
christian? That's a pretty tough one, you
tbink9 Well, don't puzzle. It's because |
fall away from the church. and am likely to
be picked up by the devil at last
The watchman without thanking him for
the internal compliment picked him up
On the route down Chesnat street, the cap
tive addressed the capt0r again:
"Watchy, Iii try you with another
Why am like the Emperor of Hayti?"
Because you are a sassy scoundrel."
"No, because [ am attended by black
guard"
And because you are as big a black
guard yourself as could be picked up in
Years travel"
Nothing more was said until they came
in front OF Col. Woods ,Museum, when the
corduroy man once more addressed the man
OF the mace and rattle.
Don't get out Of heart watchy Better
luck next time. Why is the Quaker Giant
and myself like the god Of marriage?
Because you are humbugs.'
Bah no. Because we are high men,"
(Hymen.)
do you call yourself highman?"
Yes, [ do. I'm pretty high | think; if
ten swallers of whishey can make me so.-
Besides I'm trump; an ace of trumpS. and
You know that's always high"
"Ay: in the game OF All Fours'
That's the game l was playing when you
came across me-.
You were playing low, think; for you
were fiat on your back. But I'll play the
deuce with you and that will be low enough,
if you don't get a long without any more
talk"
You are not as bright, old fellow, as |
thought YOU were; but heres one guess you
can chaw. Why are you like sugar candy?"
Il can't exactly say replied the watch
man, d little hattered by the saecharine com
parison
"Well, it's because I'd like to lick you, if
had chance said the prisoner at the very
moment he was thrust into the cage.
This morning, when the conundrum max
er answered to the name of Simon Pearce,
the watchman's evidence was heard, and
commitment for vagrancy was speedily made
out.
"Can I say a word or two?" asked Simon
"Certainiy," answered the Mayor.
"Wny," SAID the ineorrigibIe offender, ''is
a small bob-taii brown horse, with a bland
face like Gov. Bigler?'
"Take him away" said his honor, and the
last conundrum remains without solution,
to exercise the guessing faculties of our
readers.

WOVEN COMPARED -"The English wo-
man is respectful and proud, the French
woman is gay and agreeable, the Italian wo-
man is ardent and passionate, the American
woman is sincere and affectionate. With
an English woman love is principle, with
a French woman it is caprice, with an
Italian it is a passion, with an American it
is a sentiment. A man is married to an
English lady, is united to French woman,
cohabits with an Italian, and is welded to
an American. An English woman is anx-
ious to secure a lord, French woman a
companion, an Italian a lover, an American
a husband. The Englishman respects his
lady, the Frenchman esteems his companion,
the italian adOres his mistress the Ameri-
can loves his wife. At night the English
man returns to his house, the Frenchman to
his establishment, the Italian to his retreat,
the American to his home When an Eng
lishman is sick his lady visits him, when a
Frenchman is sick his companion pities him,
when an Italian is sick his mistress sighs
over him, when an American is sick his wife
nurses him. When an Englishman dies his
lady is bereaved, when a Frenchman dies
his companion grieves. when an Italian dies
his mistress Iaments, when an American dies
his wife mourns. An English woman in
structs her offspring, Frehch woman teach
eS her progeny, an Italian rearS her young,
an American educates her child"

The Correspondent Of the New York Eren-

When Col. Benton was being tried in the
furnace Of affection by the burning of his
dwelling, the President called on him and
rendered to him q home and the hospitali-
ties of the White House. This was too
much for the stern Old Roman, who could
defy world in arms against him, but melt

midnight by the loud barking of his dog

THE Two SExEs-There is much truth
in the following, says an exchange, which
we clip from the Syracuse Standard:
"When raking youth goes astray, friends
gather round him in order to restore him to
the paths of virtue. Gentleness and kind
ness are lavished upon him to win him back
to innocence and peace, No one would sus-
pect that he had ever sinned. But when a
poor, confding girl is betrayed, she receives
the brand OF society, and is henceforth driv-
en- from the ways OF virtue. The betrayer
is honored, respected and esteemed; but the
ruined, heart-broken victim knows there is
no peace for her this side the grave. ooci-
ETY. has no helping hand for her, no smile of
comfort, no voice Of forgiveness. These are
earthly moraiities unknown to heaven.-
There is deep wrong in them, and fearful
are the consequences.
