The LADY, THE SWEEP, AND THE HooI

The LADY, THE SWEEP, AND THE Hoop
One day, in IT'S, a gentlewoman un-
luckily stopping to buckle her shoe at a
linen-draper's shop, her hoop petticoat, Of
more than ordinary circumference, flew
up, and an arch little chimney-sweeper
passing at that instant, Immediately con-
veyed himself underneath the machine,
and with loud voice cried out, " Sweep,
sweep!" The gentlewoman being af-
fiighted, leaped back. The boy, strug-
CLING to get out, threw madam in the
dirt, and with much ado at last the devil
got away, and left the lady in no small
confusion.-Notes and Queries.

A good joke, says the Syracuse Stan
dard, is related of Miss G., laughter-lov-
ing, good-natured lass, who was spending
the afternoon with neighbor, and during
supper, the conversation turned on hens,
eggs, &c. During which Miss G. OBJ
served, "that their hens did not lay
scarcely any eggs, and she could not tell
the reason. Why" observed Mr.. P :,
" my hens lay very well, go Out among
them almost every day, and get eggs"
"My gracious!" was the instant rejoinder,
!" wish you would come over to our
house, and run with our hens spell, I'm
sure father would pay well for your
trouble.''' She'll do. A

Quaker young ladies in the Maine Law
States, still continue to kiss the lips of
the young temperance men, to see if
they have been tampering with liquor.
Just imagine beautiful young girl ap-
preaching you, young temperance man,
with all the dignity of an executive Off
Ger, and the innocence of dove, with the
charge, Mr.. A., the ladies believe you to
be in the habit of tampering with liquor,
and they have appointed me to examine
you according to our established rules !;
are you willing !-you must acquiesce.'
She steps up to you gently, lays her soft
white arms around your neck, dashes
back her raven curls, raises her sylph-like
form on tip-toe, and with her angelic
features lit up with smile as sweet as
heaven, places her rich, rosy, posy, pouty,
sweet, sugar. molasses, strawberry, honey
suckle, sun-fower, rose-b bud, nectar lips
against yours, and busses you, by cracky !!
Hurrah for the gals and the Maine Law,
and death to all opposition!

lady sat in her rocking chair
(Ths tale VIC yet may rue)
Her skirts swelled out in wide array
From her g loop-dedooden door
her lord had gone long way Off

So the lady increased her skirts at home
With her q shoop-de-dooden -doov'
Long months rolled on-a year flew by,

Still the lady's skirts in fashion stuck out
From her g hoop-de dooden doc -
Towards winter time her lord came home,

He I" smelt mice''-he stared at the skirts
And their &C hoop-de- -dooden doc -
At length he spake unto his wife,
(Now good wives all speak true,)
my dear, what makes your skirts swell out ?"
"Why, my hoop-de- -dooden-doo !'''
The good man saw twas fashions whirn,
(E'en fashion wives pursue,)

How old are you, Bridget!' said a
gentleman to his servant girl. "About
fifty, SIR replied Bridget. You are
mistaken, Bridget, you are not over
twenty" eyes, sir, that is it. I'm about
twenty or fifty, somewhere along there" !"
This answer indicates about the same
degree of intelligence as that of an old
gray-headed negro in South Carolina.

tleman to him one day. q dunno, Mas
sa, feels berry old; 'spect Use about five

SHOULD STUDY GEoGRAPHY.-Before
the Hon. P. 7. Herbert is again sent to
Congress by the Democracy Of California
says the Shasta Republican, he should be
taught few lessons in the useful science
of Geography. He should at least be
made somewhat acquainted with the po-
sition of the State he represents upon the
map of the would, of which he is now
evidently ignorant. The following is the
commencement of the peroration of his
late speech in the House of Representa-
tives, on California Land Claims:
Mr.. Chairman, have stood upon the
shores of the great Pacif; the interim
nable ocean fading into the horizon in the
distant east, and huge mountains melting
away in the clouds of the dim west
Having referred to the speech of Mr..
Herbert, continues the Republican, we
trust it will not be deemed improper to
make the following extract concerning
the same, from the Washington letter OF
the New York Mercury:
Our American Council used to be
called the collected wisdom and virtue OF
the nation; but has long since acquired
the appellation of the collective infamy
Of the Republic. And what can be ex-
pected ola Congress, when either branch
of it listens, for an hour, to a speech from
such man as Herbert, of California, as
the House of Representatives did yester-
day?

CoNFIDENCE.-We cut the following
from the opening address of A. Oakley
Hall, Esq, District Attorney, in the pro-
secution against Huntington for forgery !:
Confidence is the essence of commerce.
All our dealings Of life are founded upon
confidence. My learned friend (Mr.
Brady,) in speaking yesterday as cynic
rather than as political and social phi
osopher, said that it was the tendency
of man to think evil of his neighbor [
must deny the statement. The very es-
sence of society is confidence in man, al
though we may affect, with shrug, and
say that it is very wicked world, yet
we do in every action in life place conf
dence in our fellow-man. It is the es-
sence of society-the dictate of charity,
that we Judge not others lest we be judg-
ed ourselves.

GREECE OF THE PRESENT DAY=The
beautiful land of Greece, with all its glo-
rious "reminiscences, is now but the per-
sonifcation of fallen greatness. The
Greece of ancient time, with all its rich
treasures Of science, literature and art,
famed for its agricultural and commercial
wealth, is now no more; and in its stead
there is left a poor, impoverished and en-
feebled country. Her government is one
Of the most inefficient and corrupt with
which nation was ever cursed and the
people, robbed by the soldiery and har-
rasssed by their rulers, cultivate the lands
only to satisfy the systematic exactions of
their tyrants. In some parts of the king
dom. tired of laboring in the field, for
benefits which Others will enjoy, many of
the peasantry have formed themselves
into bands of robbers, and infesting the
public roads, live by the plumber of trav-
elers; and if by chance there falls into
their hands any hated official, he is sure
to be visited with the full measure Of
their vengeance, in the form of tortures
and horrible death-unless, indeed, the
chances of heavy ransom are sufficient
to induce them to forego the sweet de-
lights of revenge. In all probability, the
expulsion of the weak King Ohio from
his throne would be the greatest blessing
that could be conferred on Greece.--Free-
