SoME NosE.-The following incident we had
from friend, we knew the party Deacon
COmstock, OF Hartford, Conn, is well known
as being provided with an enorhous handle to
his countenance in the shape of huge nose'
in fact il is remarkable for its great length
On late occasion, when taking up collection
in the church to which the Deacon belongs, as
he passed through the congregation, every
person 10 whom be presented the bag seemed
to be possessed by sundden and uncontrolla-
ble desire to laugh. The Deacon did notkno
what TO make ofit. He had often passed round
before, but no such effects as these lad he ev-
er before witnessed The secret, however,
leaked out He had been afflicted day or
two with sore on his nasal appondage, and
had placed small piece of sticking plaster o.
yer il. During the morning Of the day in ques-
ton the plaster had dropped of, and the Dea-
con seeing il as he supposed, on the floor,
picked it up and stuck it on again. But alas
for men who sometimes make mistakes, he pick
ed up instead one of those pieces Of paper
which the manufacturers Of spool cotton paste
on the end Of every spool, and which read,
