How THE Man WAS MIsrAKEN.--Tht
Lowell Courier is responsible for the fol
lowing:
"In eighboring city, at Ihackerays lee.
ture, few evenings since, youog gentle
man-the modest man ofhis sex, and no less
polite than modest, was sitting in pew
rather remote from the light. A pretty lady
sat next to him. Looking on the floor during
the lecture he espied what he thought was
the lady's handkerchief, the lace trimmed
edge lust visible from under her dress
Turning to his pewmate he gallantly whls
pered, You've dropped your handkerchle
madam and before she could reply he
proceeded to pick it up. Horror. He hac
seized the edge of her pet-shirt and die
not discover his mistake until the top of {
gaiter boot stared him in the face, and the
faint sound of a laugh just npped in the buc
by the application of real hankerchiet
warned him of his mistake 'Phancy hi:
teenks.'
MoRAL.-Don't attempt to pick up any
thing with lace to it before You know wha
it is"
A BABY ELEpHANr.-The editor Of the N
Y. Sunday Times, has seen the baby e!ephan
that was born recently in that city, and give
pretty account of the little creature:
These baby elephants are very interesting
objects They are perfectly formed through
out, and differ from their parents only in size
but the difference is so amazing that it be
comes ludicrous; and when you see the bab,
walking to and fro under its mother, yol
cannot resist the impulse to laugh at thu
oddty of the comparison. And then tn
bulky mothers care Of the baby is so hu
name ike and atfectionate. Give the bab,
an apple for instance The mother frs
takes it in her trunk, examines it closely
and then returns it to her infant to eat, afte
satisfying herself, apparently, of its innoc
uousness And so with everything else.
LADIES MUST BEwARE.-Pending the sc
duction bill of Mr. Nuttall, in the Kentucl,
Legislature, Mr.. Rogers, gallant and ac
compished memberfro Warren, introduce'
