A GOOD JOKE.

We yesteaday heard of practical joke
perpetrated, which, in the dullness of the
times, if not for its intrinsic excellence, is
worthy of being recorded. The parties to
this transaction we shall designate as Ben
and Tom.
1t is proper, for better understanding
of the joke, to intimate thatthe former specu-
lates, to a moderate degree, in bivalves-and
right good bivalves they are. too-and it is
not necessary to say what the latter does,
farther than he is as fast as the locomotive
and pet train which he swears by, and is
withal great wag. The story runs that Ben
had taken in counterfeit three dollar bill,
and not relshing such dead capital, he con-
ceived the idea of giving it to Tom, who was
rollicking fellow and could make it "ser
lang" if any body could. Accordingly, he
approached the contemplated dispensing me-
dunn one day, when the following converse
ton ensued:
Say, Tom, here's pretty good counterfeit
three. If you will pass I'll divide"
eLet's see the plaster" said Tom, and af'
ter examining it carefully, put it in his vest
pocket, remarking, dts an equal division,
dollar and a half each?"
o. eyes," said Ben.
"All right" said Tom, and he sauntered
off.
A few minutes afterwards he quietly step.
ned into the office of his friend Ben, purchas'
ed can of oysters for one dollar and half,
lays down the three. dollar bill in payment
for them. The clerk looked at the bill rath.
er doubtingly, when his suspicious were i'm
mediately calmed by Tom, who told him
"that there was no use looking, for he had
received that bill from Ben himself not ten
minutes SINCE" Of course the clerk, with
the assurance, Immediately forked over the
dollar and half change, and with this de-
posit and the can of oysters Tom left.
Shortly afterwards he met Ben, who asked
him sif he had passed the bill"
"Oh yes" said Tom, "here's your share, %
at the same time passing over the dollar and
half to Ben.
That night, when Ben made up his cash
account, he was surprised to find the same
old counterfeit three in the drawer. Turn.
ing to his locum tenens, he asked, "where
did you get this cursed bill? Didn't you
know it was counterfeit?"
"Why," exclaimed the other: "Tom
gave it to me, and I suspected it was fshy,
but he said he had just received it from you,
and I therefore took it"
The whole thing had penetrated the wool
of Ben, and with peculiar grin, he mutter.

TRUTH ON A TOMBSTONE.

Tombstones do not alwayslie as some peo-
pie suppose. Here is an epitaph, which we
will venture to say, approaches the truth as
nearly as disinterested observation can do
1t is taken from tombstone in Horsleydown
churchyard, Cumberland.
Here lies the body of Thomas Bond, and
Mary his wife. She was temperate, chaste,
and charitable, but she was proud peevish,
and passionate. She was an affectionate
wife and q tesder mother, but her husband
and child, whom she loved, seldom saw her
face without frown, while she received WIS.,
itors whom she despised with an endearing
smile. Her behavior was discreet towards
strangers, but improvident toward her own
family. Abroad her conduct was governed
by good breeding, but at home by ill temper.
She was perfect enemy to AattYy, and was
never known to praise or commend; but
talentsi in which she principally excelled were
difference of opinion and in discerning flaws
and imperfections. She sometimes made her
husband happy with her good qualities, but
more generally miserable with her many
failings, insomuch that in thirty years CO.
habitation, he often lamented that, of all her
virtues, he had not enjoyed two years Of mat
rimonial comfort. At length, finding that
she had lost the affections of her husband,
as we'll as the regard of neighbors-family
disputes having been divulged by servants
she died of vexation, July 20, l76S, aged
46 years. Her worn out husband survived
her four months and two days, and departed
this life 2Sth Nov, l76S, in the 45th year
of his age. His brother, William Bond,
erected this stone as weekly monitor to the
surviving wives of this parish, that they may
avoid the infamy of having their memories
handed down to posterity with a patchwork
character
