a Coon JOKE ON WIpowER. A wag-
gish correspondent tells the following and
vouches for its truth. It is the bes, joke
we have heard lately: 1t appears that a
widower in this town, Of a somewhat gallant
disposition has been accustomed TO visit the
residence Of widow-whs.her to see the
auimabls widow herself, or her daughters,
our informant did not know. One evening
he found the family pretty hard at work on
some garments of cloth. The girls were
sewing, and the widow was pressing the
seams. The widowcr hung up his hat, as
usual, and took his seat by the fire; just at
the moment it happened that the widow had
done with the pressing iron (vulgarly Il tail
or's coose) She sat 1t down on the hearth
and called to negro I'm in loud voice.
Jake, Jake, come and take out this goose"
The widower started up with astonishment,
not knowing what to make of this abrupt
order. Jake, do you hear me 2" again ex
claimed the widow 81 beg your pardon,
Mrs." said the widower, with visible
agitation, "but pray don, call Jake-if you
wish me to leave your house, will go at
once, and without the interference of ser
wants" The ladies roared with laughter,
and it took some moment, to explain to tho
chagrncd wdower his mistake lie has
not been known to visit the widow since that
memorable evening.
