The Three Jolly Husbands.

Three jolly husbands, out in the country, by
the names Of Tim Watson, Joe Brown, and
Bill Walker, sat late one evening drinking at
the village tavern, until, being pretty well
corned, they agreed that each one, onreturning
home, should do the first thing that his wife
told him, in default of which he should the next
morning pay the bill. They then separated for
the night, engaging to meet again the next
morning and give an honest account of their
proceedings at home, so far as they related to
the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown were
early at their posts, but it was some time before
Watson made his appearance. Walker began
first
"You see when 1 entered my house the can
die was out, and the fire giving but q glimmer
Of light, l came near walking into q pot OF
batter that the pancakes were to be made of in
the morning. Ny wife, who was dreadfully
out OF humor, said to me sarcastically,
"Bill, do you put your foot in the batter
"Just as you say, Maggy," said /, and with
out the least hesitation 1 put my foot in the
pot of batter and went to bed"
Next, Joe Brown told his story:
"My wife had already retired in our usual
sleeping room which adjoins the kitchen, and
the door of which was ajar; not being able to
navigate perfectly, you know, I made a dread
full gathering among the household furniture,
and my wife in no pleasant tone bawled out, :"
"Do break the porridge pot"
"No sooner said than done. / seized hold
Of the handle of the pot, and striking it against
the chimney jam, broke it in a thousand pieces.
After this exploit I retired to rest, and got a
curtain-lecture till I fell asleen.n
1t was now Tim Watson's turn to give an
account of himself; which he did with q very
long face, as follows:
"My wife gave the most unlucky command
in the world for l was bludering up stairs in
the dark, when she cried out,
Nov Tim, do break your neck"
"lH DC cussd if do, Kate" said /, gather
ing myself up the best way l could, anno, I'll
sooner foot the bill"
And so, landlord" continued Tim "here's
the cash for you. But, by lingo, this is the
last time Ill ever risk five dollars on the COM
mand Of my WIFE"

GToriga,n. of Foolsonp PapsT:-as-o9

It is well sk, wn that Charles I, Of Eng
land, granted mn .gous monopolies for the sup
port Of his GdrJ:.,::ent. Among Others was
the privilege + etants nfacturing paper. The
consumption d6R s4s aSSTrticle was great at this
time, and largAIi asSortunes were made h-Aose
who had purchased exclusive right@-l
The Parliament thd persons. SSarles to the
scatfold and by way otsnowints ri,eir contempt
for the King, they orderedth royal arms to
Unteken from the PAPER, and d fool, with his
h-lells, to be substituted. 1t is now
mofSS{tea CHI hundred aud s%evcnty-fve years
since the fooh cap and bells were taken from
tie paper; and still, paper, of the size which
the Bump Parliament ordered for their jour
nails, bears the name of the water-mark then
ordered as an indignity to Charles.

Editorial Life in .tha t&arti- To.

A good picture and life like, offs California
editor, may be had in the perusal Of ting fnss fl
ing from the Alta California:
First gets up in the morning at ten o'clock /;
dresses himself, puts on his hat, in which are
six or, seven bullet holes, and gets to a res
taurat for breakfast. After breakfast startsto
the office to look over the papers, and discov-
ers that he is called q scoundrcl in one Of them,
q liar in another, and d puppy in another he
smiles at the pleasant prospect Of having some
thing to do fills ont and dispatches three blank
challenges, a ream or two Of which he always
keeps on hand, ready printed, to save time /;
commences writing a leader, when as the clock
strikes eleven, a large mar with a cow-hide in
one hand, a pistol in the other, and a bowie
knife in his belt, walks in and asks him if his
name is; he answers by knocking the in
truder down two pair Of stairs with a chair.
At twelve o'clock finds that his challenges have
been accepted, and suddenly remembers that he
has a little affair of that nature to settle at the
beach that day at three o'clock goes out, kills
his man, then comes in and dimes on stewed
grizzly. Starts for the Office, and, while going
there gets mixed up in q street row and has
the heel Of his boot shot off by accident !;
laughs to think how beautifully it was done,
arrives at his sanctum, and finds an : Internal
machine upon the table; knows what it is,
and merely pitches it out Of the window writes
on article on moral REFORM" and then starts
for the theater ; is attacked on the corner of a
dark alley, by three men, kills two of them,
and takes the other to the station-house. Re
turning to the Office at IL o'clock at night,
knocks down a mai who attempts to rob him,
kills a dog with a piece of paving stone, gets
run over by a cab, and has the tail of his coat
split with q thrust from q knife, and two bull
let-holes put through his beaver as he steps
within his own door he smiles at his escape
writes until two o'clock and then turns in
with the happy consciousness of having two
duels to fight the next day.
