After leaving his friends, Mr.. ---
paused a moment, took his bearings, and
having shaped a course, on the principle
that continual angles meet, made sail for
home. In due course OF time he arrived
there, and was not3very much astonished,

"Oh, no. indeed, my dear-rm sure

'Yes-juleps-McMaster makes such

We'll. take glass OF ale, at any rate

The lady hesitated TO open bottle. and
as she placed two tumblers before her on
the sideboard, she puts in one a very pow
terful elnetc. Filling the glasses with the
foaming ale, she handed one to her hus-
band
Suspicion came cloudily upon his mind
She never before had been so kind when
he was drunk. He looked at the glass
raised it to his iips-then hesitated.
Dear w-won't you just taste mine, to
make i, sweet-sweeterl' said he.
Certainly. love!!' replied the lady, taking
a moutbful, which she was careful, not to
swallow.
Suspicious vanished, and so did the ale
emetic and all, down the throat OF the sal
isfied husband. After splitting out the
taste, the lady finished her glass. but seenl-
ed in no hurry to retire. She fixed a
| foot tub of wafer before an easy chair, as

fleet. But small as were those feet, there
was not water enough in the tub to cover
them. The husband began to feel sick,
and be wanted to retire
Wait Only few minutes, dear said

A few more minutes elapsed. and then

what a time. The husband was placed in
an easy chair. He began to understand
why the tub was there; he soon learned
what allied him. Suffice it to say, that
when be rose from that chair the brick had
left his hat. Il hasn't been there since.
He says he'll never drink another julep;
he can't bear Scotch ale, but he is death on
Elemonade!-He loves his wife better than
ever.
