The husband, father, think of this
In whatever path you go,
500 slow!D
At the Coffin
Here she leth, white and chill; s4s
Put your hand upon her brow,
For her heart is very still,
And she does not know you now.
All, the graves quiet bed!
She shall seepa pleasant sleep,
And the tears that you may shed,
Will not wake her-therefOre weep 8s
weep-for you have wrought her woei
Mourn-she mourned and died for you
All! too late come to know
What is false and what is true.
Clippings.
It is said that Tom Corwin, as he is familiary
called was once trying case in which he was op-
posed to the late Mr.. Writ, when the latter tried
somewhat novel mode of discrediting the evidence Of
Mr.. Corwins chief witness, on whose accuracy and
discrimination everything turned by showing that he
was person of astonishing credulity. =.
Writ" Have you read Robinson Crusoe?'
Witness. Yes" sy "
| Writ" Do you believe it all 2"
| Witness" Well, yes, squire, I don't know but
what do.;'
| The same answer was returned as to Gulliver's
Travels and several other works of fiction Corwn all
the while fdgeting and getting hot. Presently Mr..
Writ, considering the man entirely fattened out,
| resigned him with bland SMILE
Mr. Corwin said he had only one question to ask,
| and put it F5= SPA

Corwin-" Do you believe it all R
Witness-Why, no, Squire. | can't go that.
An unfortunate bard complains that the printers

Young Husband" WE'LL think good turkey,
with plenty of dressing, is about as nice as any.
A VENERABLE SPIRIT.-An enthusiastic spiritual
ist was heard to declare in private conversations,
recently, that he had seen and conversed with man
who died upon the coast of Africa fifteen thousand
years ago. 81 have not the slightest doubt of it,"
said he; I saw him just as plainly as see you;
l conversed with him. and he declared to me, posi-
lively that he died upon the coast of Africa fifteen
A. thousand years ago; so am sure OF it,
AN ACCOMMODATING JuDGE.-The court is in ses
sion, the judges on the bench, and the case of
ID Smith VS.. Brown is called mp
Can ready!' shouts the counsel for defendant
, but the counsel for plaintiff does not respond.
"Who's for the plaintiff inquired tie judge some
s. what mpatently ~
MAY it please the court, said rising member Of
him just now over in the tavern, playing game Of
poker. He's got sucker there and he sure to skin
a him. if he only has time. He's got the thing all set
to ring in cold deck, in which he will deal
for himself four aces and his opponent four queens
so your honor will perceive that he must take the
N persimmons.'' =.
his honor at once, and expression more OF sorrow
than of anger took its place. At length he said with
a sigh: E....
Dear me, that's too bad 1t happens at very
D unfortunate time as I am very anxious to get on
with these caseS.n "
A brown study followed, and at length happy
idea struck the judge.
a. Pikins who had spoken, you understand poker
about as well as Pikns suppose you go over and play
Ii his hand"
ONLY ONE O'CLooK.-Mr. 49, coming home
late one night from meeting, was met at the door
il. "Pretty time of night, Mr.. r., for you to come
home-pretty time three O'Clock in the morning; you,
Respectable, man in the community and the father
of family !"
"'Tan't three--ts only one, heard it strike !;
Council always sits till o'clock"
alive, you're drunk-its three in the morning"
II say, Mrs. --, it's one. heard it strike one,
as came round the corner, ttco or three times ~
INTERESTING TO oRAroRs.-The New York Plea
yune sagely asks-Must man be mealy mouthed be-
fore he can make towery speeches? And should a
joke in speech be accompanied by any action to
make the jest of its effect-or should piece of
fun be jest enough by itself to move to laughter
without jestticke-aton on the part OF the speaker
