When Adam and Eve were In Paradise,
they were for some time most happy

The Joking Husbands.

Three Jolly husbands out in the country,
by the names of Tim Watson, Joe Brown
and Bill Walker. sat alone one evening al
the village tavern, drinking, until, being
pretty well corned. they agreed that each
one on returning home, should do the first
thing his wife told him, IN default of which
he should next morning pay the bill
they then separated for the night. enga-
ging to meet again Tic next morning and
give an honest account of their proceedings
at home, so far as they related to the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown
were early at their posts, but it was some
time before Watson made his appearance
Walker began first:
''You see when entered my house the
candle was out, and the fire giving but'a
glimrnering Of light. came near walk
ing into pot of batter tlsot the pan cakes
were to be made of in the morning. My
wife, who was dreadfully out of humor,
said to me sarcastically:
''BIll do put your foot in the batter"
"Just as you say, hIaggy." said I. and
without the least hesitation put my foo,
in the pot of batter and went to bed"
Next Joe Brown told his story:
my wife had already retired in our
usual sleeping room. which adjoins the
kitchen, and Tie door of which was aiar.-
Not being able to navigate perfectly. you
know, made a dreadful clattefing among
the household furniture. and MY wife, III
no pleasant mood, bawled out:
''Do break the po,ridge pot
"No sooner said than done. I seized
hold of the handle OF Me Pot, and striking
it against the chimney-jam. broke it in a
thousa nd pieces. After this exploit re-
tired to rest, and got curtain lecture till
fell asleep"
1t was now Tim Watson's turn 10 give
an account Of himself; which he did with
a very long face, as follows:
MY wife gave me the most unlucky
command in the world for was blunder-
ing up stairs in the dark, when she cried
out:
"Now, TIM, do break your neck.''

gathering myself up as best could mo,

"And so. landlord" continued Tim,

A few weeks since, q young girl, says
the Liverpool Courier, about twenty years

enteen years OF age. The bedroom door
was not locked, but barred; and the front
door locked. barred and chained. Abou
three o'clock Sunday morning, the last
mentioned lady awoke, and was surprised
to find that she was the sole occupant of
the bed. She knocked against the parti-
ton that separated her bedroom from that
of her mother, and shortly the inmates of
the establishment were up, and the great
est CONSERVATION prevailed. Every room
was searched and re-searched, and cup
boards examined, but IN vain the young
lady was nowhere to be found The head
of the family is at sea, and the only male
persons in the house were two lads. They
dressed themselves, and on going to the

and had the melancholy satisfaction OF
finding the young lady unharned, bui in a

dressed. With want OF judgment excu-
sable under the circumstances, the aunt in
stantly caught her neice In her embrace,
the others following the example, and US
ing loud terms of endearment to arouse
her. But her restoration to consciousness
was fearful, and the scene altogether, if
fully described, would read more ike a

young lady was assisted back, and, on ar
irving home, it was found that she had no
stockings on, and bad lost one of her Sip

little mere than her night-dress. She can
give no explanation as to how she left the
