Da1rorol1s 4taSir}g,

A SLY DASH AT THE CRIrrER.-One OF
our subscribers, (says the Rhode Island Re.
publican.) who happened to be in New Port
last summer, got down into the bar-room at
4 very early hour, when 10 who should call
in first but tall well dressed Quaker gen.
tleman, who had been attracted thither by
the "yearly conference" The friend looked
about for moment and then turning to the
boy inquired: -
"Boy, dost thou ever make lemonade e
Certainly, sir, a great deal every day..
"Well, make me glass. Take that larg-
est sized tumbler.'
Boy mikes ingredients aud pours in water
about half foil.
Stop-leave vacancy. Has thee any
old nice French brandy!'
"Yes, SIR
"Wel, pour till tell thee stop"
The boy acted accordingly.
"Stop!" exclaimed the Quaker in due
time; has thee any good Jamaica rum"
"No sir
"Any Santa CRUZ"
"Yes"
"WelI, then, pour till tell thee stop
It was done and tho boy mixed the con.
tents of the tunbler which was brim-full, in
the usual mode, our Quaker friend raised it
to bis lips, and poured down in one continu'
Gus stream, the whole arrangement, without
the interruption Of a breath. Then with a
look of satisfaction to the inner man, which,
on such occasions, is seen but not described,
he sat down his glass and inquired what
was to pay. He paid aud turned to go
away, but stopped as if he had forgotten
something just as he reached the door, and
casting his eye to the fountain Of refresh.
meut where he had imbibed the celebrating
beverage, exclaimed -
"Lad, thee is a very small boy, but thee
does make gr.gr. grand lemonade"
"P, DOES IT." You Tomnlie, my son,
what's that you are saying!"
"J.a! MA, Just said conlound it."
"Why, my son, mothers astonishcd to
hear you talk so. That's naughty"

Just cusses right out-,just like anybody
You know all men cussesH'
"Ah, my son, gentlemen do not curse =
Low triAing men curse; but gentlemen OF
good manners and good sense don't"
"Well, anyhow, my pa does it"
"Run along to play Tommie, and be a a
little man. Don't say such naughty lhinss!'
Enter Father.-"Pa are you gentle.

"Yes, my son: try to be one, but what
makes you ask such strange questions. Tom.

"Nobody, sir, but was thinking that
somebody tolled me story-you or ma
one.''
"Thomas, what do you an?"
al Jest means, Pa, that you cusses, and
Ma says gentlemen don't. And know you
do; cause heard you cuss the carriage
driver t'other day, and I've been saying it
ever SINCE"

HuMoRous.-.Oncea preacher holding forth
on the end Of time, and as there had been
a great number Of shooting stars not long
before, he drew bold illustration from that
striking phenomenon
"My brethren, you have often wondered
what was the meaning, Of them shooting
stairs. 1t was this my brethren:
When the Lord he say the stairs was too
thick and close together like. he took the
magnesia Of attraction, or the traction of
qualification, if You please to call it by the
vulgar name, and he shook 'em, ah, and
thinned 'em out, ah, and left them as was
sound, ah.h.h.
Then leaning over the desk, and lowering
his voice to confidential tone, he continued: !:
"Thus, my friends, will it be in the end
Of tho world. The Lord will apply the
magnesia of attraction to the meeting folks,
and shake 'em about, and thin 'em out, and
the only stairs left in the fundamental galaxy
Of His glory will be the good old Baptist
stairs"

was rather surprised at this proceeding
