MISTAKE OF A NIGHT-The following lu
dicrOuS incident occurred recently on boarC
the night train from New Y ork. Two mar
ried couple took their seats in the cars al
New \ ork, bound for Boston. in close prox
unity, and about eight O'Clock they both
indulged in balmy slumbers, the heads Of
their wives resting upon their husband
shoulders When the cars reached Wor-
cester, the gentlemen stepped out and the
ladies, apparently exhausted, slept on. The
delay was brief, and on entering the cars,
the husbands, whose eyes were scarcely
opened, exchanged seats, and in few mo-
ments resumed their natural positions, and
were in the land of dreams. At framing
ham the cars stopped again, when one OF
the ladies asked;
"Will you have time to get me a drink OF
water here?"
The afrighted gentleman, not recognizing
the music of his wife's voice, exclaimed;
"By heavens, have | made mistake?-
This isn't Tily!'
NO" exclaimed the lady, "and you a mt
nay husband.
sPerhaps we had better change seats, >
exclaimed the husband in the seat immedi-
ately in the rear, who had awoke, "for
there S slight mistake here"
The second lady, too much fatigued did
not awake, and as the temporary husband
endeavored to shift his burthen SO as to
move, she merely calculated impatiently-
do keep still.

BeA, One evening John Clerk G.ord FL
DIM had been dipping rather too deeply in
the conyivial bowl, with friend in Queen
Street, and on emerging into the open air
his intellect became in considerable de-
gree confused, and not being able to distin-
guish objects with any degree of minute
ness or certainty, he thought himself in
fair way of losing the road to his own house
in Picardy Place. III this perplexity he
espied some one coming towards him, whom
he stopped with this query:
"D'ye ken whaur John Clerk bides?"
"What'S the use O your speerin' that
question:" said the man, you're John
Clerk himself

Bsg~ "Can you tell me, sir, where the Bos-
ton expensory is?" asked Mrs. Partington
of our friend, Old Roger, the other morn
ing. She was looking earnestly at the
signs along the corner of Summer street
with an anxious expression upon her face
and doctors prescription between her fin
gers. "Yes'm," said the old fellow, point
ing significantly at the jewelry which
CLEANED in Jones, Ball & Co. s window; 1T
seems to be an expensory all around here. y

ing her hand lightly upon his coat sleeve
"the place where they put up doctors pro-
scriptions graciously for nothing, for Isaac
has got an absence on his leg" He point
ed with his cane up the stairway that led
to the dispensary, and the old lady climbed
up sturdily to where she was to obtain the
absence-healing dispensation.

Must Leave Thee, Paradise:'
BY EGLANTINE.


"Must leave thee, Paradise?"
Thus spoke the gentle Eve,
As from her blessed Eden home
She took her mournful leave;
With agony of heart and brow
She gazed upon the wild
Where she must make her cheerless home
Eden's once happy child!
'Oh must leave thee, Paradise ~
Again that mournful cry,
And every leaf and blossom thrilled
To her deep agony;
For blissful had the moments been
" Nithin each bower and grove,
And God had walked in glory there,
And bathed the scene in love.
Forth from the gate she sadly came,
With mournful step and slow,
Her beauteOus head upon her breast
Bowed in despairing woe;
With heaving heart and quivering lip
She stood upon the wild,
And heard the gates of Eden close
Upon her banished child!
A blessed Eden home had I,
Where flowers of beauty grew,
Where my young sisters round me smiled,
And God was with us too;
For in our mothers earnest tone
Such holy words were given
That silently we caught each breath,
And knew it came from Heaven!
But now, afar from Paradise,
In mOurnfulness | roam,
Musing upon the golden hours
That blessed my happy home
A stranger in the wilderness,
An exile ON the Wild
l feel, as did the stricken Eve,
An Eden-banished child!

wing a horse which was in the habit of
stopping at every house on the roadside
Passing a country tavern, where were col
ected together some dozen countrymen, the
beast, as usual, ran opposite the door, and
then stopped in spite of the young man,
who applied the whip with all his might to
drive the horse on. The men on the porch
commenced Il hearty laugh, and some in
quired if he would sell the horse.
Yes" replied the young man; "but I
cannot recommend him, as he once belonged
to a butcher, and stops whenever he hears
the calves bleat."
The crowd retired to the bar in silence.

beanS?" said old Rodger, somewhat cyni-

landlady.
"Weil, it may be so; hut gray hair is not

hair about an inch long, with his fork

he had been endeavoring to smother g.

collapsed, scattering dismay and crumbs
among the nicely plated folds of Old Rog-
er'S shirt frills.
