How THE MoDEsT Man WAS MIsTA-
KES.--Fhe Lowell Courier is responsible
for the following:
''ln a neghboring city, at Thackeray's
lecture, few evenings since, young
gentleman, the modest man Of lis 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 Iady's handker-
chief. the lace trimmed edge just visible
from under her dress. Turning 10 his
pew mate he gallantly whispered, you've
dropped your handkerchief, madam ~
and before she could reply, he proceeded
to pick ii up. Horror ! he had seized The
edge of her pet-skirt, and did not Gls
cover his mistake until the top of a gaiter
boot stared him in the face, and the faint
sound of laugh just nippeG in the bud
by the application of real handkerchief
warned him of his mistake. .r.. ....r.
"MoRAL.-Don't attempt to pick up
anything with lace 10 ii before you know
what it is. ... ~. 80. ....
