Practical JOkers,

We remember Of hearing a story of a
fellow who reused venerable doctor
about IL o'clock one winters night, and
on coming in the door coolly inquired:
Have you lost knife, Mr.. Brownr
No. growled the victim.
! well, never mind said the wag, Il
thought I'd just call and inquire, for |
found one yesterday
We thought that rather cool, but the
following story of Neil McKinnon, New
York wag, surpasscs in impudcnce any
thing within recollection. Read and Judge
for yourself, gentle reader.
When the celebrated "Copcnhagen
Jackson" was British Minister in this
country, he resided in New York, and
occupied a house in Broadway. Neil,
one night at a late hour, in company with
a bevy of rough riders, while passing the
house, noticed it was brilliantly illumina-
ted, and that several carriages were wait
ing at the door.
'HolloaH said our wag, what's going
on at Jackson's 2
One of the company remarked that
Jackson had party that evening.
What : exclaimed Neil, jackson have
party, and not invited | must see to
that
SO stepping up to the door he gave a
ring which soon brought the servant to
the door.
Il want to see the British Minister,
said Neil.
You must call some other time,' said
the servant, for he is now engaged at @
game of whist, and must no, be disturbed.
Don't talk to me that way said Nc
Kinnon, but go directly and tell the Brit
ish Minister that | must see him immc'
diately on special business
The servant obeyed, and delivered hi'
message in so impressive style as tc
bring Mr.. Jackson to the door forthwith
WELL said Mr.. Jackson, what can be
your business with me this time of night
which is SO very urgent!
Are you Mr.. Jackson 2 asked Neil.
Yes, sir, am Mr.. Jackson
The British Minister
Yes, sir a
You have party here tonight, per
ceive, Mr.. JacksonF
Yes, sir, have party.
"A large party, ! presume
Yes, sir, large party.
Playing cards, | understand 2
Yes, sir, playing cards
%, well,' said Neil, 'as was passing
merely called to inquire whafs trumps

POETRY.
The Maiden's Resolution.

Ohl I'll tell you Of a fellow,
or a fellow have seen,
Who is neither white or yellow,
But is altogether green
Then his name il isn't charming,
For it's only common Bill"
And he wishes me to wed him,
But hardly think will,
He has told me of cottage,
OF a cottage 'mong the trees,
And don't you think the gawkey
Tumbicd on his knees?
While the tears the fellow wasted
Where enough to turn mill,
And he begged me to accept him,
But hardly think | will.
Oh, he whispered of devotion,
OF devotion pure and deep,
But it seemed so very silly
That nearly fell asleep,
And he thinks II would be pleasant
As we journey down the hill,
To go hand in hand together,
But hardly think will.
He was here last night to see me,
And he made so long a stay,
began to think the blockhead
Never meant to 20 away.
At the first learned to hate him,
And know hate him still,
Yet he urges me to have him,
But hardly think | will.
am sure wouldn't choose him,
But the very deuce is in it;
And he says if refuse him
That he could not live a minute;
And you know the blessed Bible,
Plainly says " we must not KILL"
SO Pve thought the matter over,
And rather think,I will.

A California Joke.

A California paper tells the following
of Lieutenant Derby, John PhGnix, the
humorist
One evening at the theatre, PhGnix OBJ
served man setting three seats in front,
whom he thought he knew; he then re-
quested the person sitting next 10 him "to
punch the other individual with his cane" +"
The polite stranger did so, and the dis
turbed person turning his head little,
he discovered his mistake-that he was
not the person he took him for. Fixing
his attention steadfastly on the play, and
affecting Inconsistencies Of the whole af-
fair, he left lhs man with the cane to set
tie with the other for the disturbance, who
being wholly without an excuse, there
was, of course, a ludicrous and embar.
RAISING scene-during all of which Pho
nix was profoundly interested in the play
At last the man with the cane asked
rather Indignantly, Didn't you tell me tC
punch that person with my stick 2
Yes

MISCELLANEOUS.

During the month of January, 1850,
while stopping at the Sutter House in
Sacramento city, California, accidentally
overheard a conversation between two
gentlemen, one of whom was from New
York City and had been in the country
nearly a year, and the other had Just
arrived.
The new conner was lamenting his con-
dltion, and his folly in leaving an abun-
dance at home and especially two beauti-
ful daughters, who were just budding into
womanhood-when he asked the New
Yorker if he had a family.
"Yes sir, | have wife and six children
in New York, and | never saw one of
them," was the answer.
After this reply the couple sat few
moments in silence; then the Interrogator
again commenced:
"Was you ever blind, sir!"
"No, sir" ....
odd you marry a widow, sir :"
"No, SIR"
Another lapse of silence.
Did understand you to say sir, that
you had a wife and six children living in
New York, and never saw one of them.
"Yes, sir-l so stated"
Another and longer pause of silence.
Then the interrogation again inquired:
How can it be sir, that you never saw
one of them 2" ..
"Why," was the response, Zone Of
them was born after left"
Oh! ali and a general laugh followed
and after that the New Yorker was espe,
cially distinguished as the man who haG
six children and never saw one of them.

A DoUnTFuL SToRY.-A man up in
New Hampshire went out cunning one
day this spring--he saw flock of pigeons
sitting on a limb of an old pine, so he
dropped ball into his gun and fired.
The ball split the limb, which closed up
and caught the toes of all the birds in it.
He saw that he had got them ALL So he
fastened two balls together and fired; cut
the limb Off which fell into the river he
then waded in and brough: il ashore. On
counting them there were three hundred
pigeons, and in his boots were two bar
rcls Of shad
