"BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT."-A ludicrous in
cident took place at the Junction Hotel, La
fayette, Ia, upon the arrival Of train from
indianapolis. A gentleman and lady, inspired
with sudden recognition, were observed to
rush frantically into each others arms and
the fun of it was, that after hearty embrace,
they discovered that both "had the advan-
tage." They were strangers; but the lady,
mistaking him for her dear cousin Charlie"
had embraced him, while he, with half de-
fined recollection of having seen her before,
"went in lemons" and "got squeezed" Their
mutual embarrassment on the discovery can
well be imagined.

The REAsoN.-Mr. Layard, the celebrated
explorer of Nnevab, lately became candi-
date for a seat in the English Parliament, and
was defeated. His constituents endeavored to
soften his defeat by present of tea service,
and in the course of his speech of thanks, the
following passage occurred: ....
But must say, that however sorrowful |
may feel at the cause of your giving me this
testimonial, am proud, indeed, to have re-
ceived such testimony Of your good feeling
and friendship. Probably | shall never re-
ceive such another testimonial, and let me as
sure you | shall value this mark of your re-
gard more than anything else possess. hope
it will never pass out of the possession of those
who bear my name"
A Voice-"Take wife"
Mr.. Layard-"I am much obliged to my
friend for his recommendation. am afraid
that in this enlightened country one must have
the consent of another person to such an ar
rangement. In the East one has only to go
into the bazaar and satisfy ones self with a
wife, but in England it is necessary to satisfy
a second party, and hitherto have not been
fortunate enough to do that, nor do know
when ever shall; but have brothers who
have children, and hope they will regard this
testimony with the same feeling that do now."
