THE MODEL WIFE FOR 1s57-Punch thu

The MODEL WIFE FOR 1S57-Punch thu
describes the model wife as at present illus
rated in English Drawing Rooms
She dwells in fair Belgravias halls,
Sweet Fashions peerless Queen,
And all her soul, in fetes and balls,
Is in her Crnolne
Her "jupon," like the Nassau globe,
Cremorne did rightly see
Flaunts its inflated gauzy robe,
Or swirls tempestuously.
And thus expanding more or more,
She nuctuates in her walk;
Subduing Swan and Edgar's corps
With undulatipg talk.
Her husbands purse is small-but no!
What though her form be slim
Her jupon still expands, and oh
The difference TO him.

Judge Underwood, of Georgia, had su-
preme contempt for fops. A dandy remarked
Of gentlemanly planter who was passing,
that it would be q fine speculation to buy that
man for what he was worth, and sell him for
what he thought he was worth.
"We,' y says the Judge, 81 have often seen
men selling jackasses, but this is the first time
| ever heard of a jackass offering to sell a gen
tleman !"
The Judge was stanch Clay Whig, but his
son, j. w. Ii. Underwood, was continually
changing his politics. A friend asked, "What t
are Johns politics?"
Really" said the Judge, 81 can't tell you /;
haven't seen the boy since breakfast"
John applied to the old gentleman for let
ter of recommendation to his friend, then
Governor Crawford, of Georgia. 1t was i'm
mediately given and, sure of his game, John
put off TO Miledgeyille; but knowing his
fathers eccentricities he thought it prudent to
open his credentials before presenting them,
and, to. his astonishment, he read the follow
ing
Ny DEAR FRIEND--This will be handed to you by
my John. He has the greatest thirst for an Of
ce with the least capacity to fill one of any boy you
ever saw. Truly yours
WILLIAM II. UNDERwooD.\
But John has since falsified the old gentle
mans opinion by proving himself shrewd
politician, and frs rate lawyer.

sB-A Northern paper notices, with evident
astonshment the fact that a Yankee lady, who
has been known as an enthusiastic admirer
of Uncle Toms Cabin, is just married to a
Southern planter with hundred negroes. We
can testify that the case is by no means sing
ular or at all an uncommon one. OF the two
or three hundred fine young New England
girls, all partial no doubtto Uncle Toms Cabin,
for whom we have during the last two or three
years, procured situations as teachers in the
South, we believe that full seven-eights or nine
tenths are now married to thriving planters,
the respectable mistresses Of multtudes of
what Mitchell calls fine fat negroes. "-L0uiS-

JUDGE MARSHALL, returning from North
Carolina, wrapped in profound thought or some
knotty point found himself suddenly brought
to halt by small tree which 'intervened be-
tween the front wheel and the body of his
buggy. Seeing servant at short distance,
he asked him to bring an axe and cut down the
tree. The servant told the judge that there
was no occasion for cutting down the tree, but
just to back the buggy. Pleased at the good
sense Of the fellow, he told MIN that he would
leave him something at the inn hard by, where
he intended to stop, having then no small
change. In due time the negro applied and
dollar was handed him. Being asked if he
knew who it was that gave him the dollar, he
replied, mo, sir; concluded he was a gen.

AN IRISH "WAKE"-The Palmer Massa-

internal celebrations over dead body. II oc-
CURED at Thorndike, in that town, the deceased
being Richard Prindeville, man Of eminence
among the Irish residents there
"Soon after the breath had left the body he
was seized by three sturdy Irishmen and borne
upon their shoulders around the room, follow
I'D by others who pulled his ears and hair, some
Of them shouting. "What in hell did you die
fdr?" In addition to this scene, about twenty
women and children set up terrific howliAg,
which could only be equalled by collection
wild beasts. This unearthly bowling contind
throughout Sunday night, keeping everybody
awake within hearing distance. A son of Mr.
Prindeville introduced novel ceremony. by
jumping astride the corpse of his fathes. sczing
him by the ears pulling his head up and down,
and crying, "What in hell did you die for ?"
On Monday evening, the company having been
increased during the day, the funeral howl COM
menced again louder and wilder than at any
time previous, making it necessary for Sheriff
Moores and Constable Newton to go and threaten
to arrest the whole crowd. Quiet was finally
restored and the corpse was buried on Tues
day. Our correspondent adds that the "wake !"
exceeded in absurdity and heathen ceremony
all that he ever read or heard Of.
