a haring red flannel pettcoat such as danes
from the rural districts have worn for
centuries, and been laughed at for it, by

THE CAVALIER S STRATEGEM.-
years ago the manager of a "well regula-
ted theatre somewhere along the line of
the Erie Canal, engaged good-looking
and brisk young lady as a supernumerary.
1t happened that the young lady in ques-
ton had formerly oficiated in some ca
pacity as 'shand" on board canal boat,
a fact which she was extremely anxious
to conceal. She evinced much anxiety
to master the details of her newly chosen
profession, and soon exhibited more
than ordinary degree of comic talent. She
was duly promoted, and in time became a
general favorite with both manager and
public One night when she was an
nolnced to appear in favorite part, a
couple of boatmen found their way into
the pit near the foot-lights, particularly
anxious to see the famous new comanedt-
enne. The house was crowded and after
the subsidence of the general applause
which greeted her appearance, one of the
boatmen slapped his companion on the
shoulder, and with an emphatic expletive
exclaimed, loud enough to be heard over
ldlI the mousse
BILL, | know that gall
'Pshawv said Bill, dry up
But I'm darned if | don t now, Bill.
It's Sal Flukins, as sure as your born.
She's old Flukin's daughter that used to
run the Injured Polly and she used to
sail with him.
'Tom,' said Bill, you're fool, and if
you don't stop you re internal clack you'll
get put out Sal Flukins. You must
know sight if you think that's herl'
Tom was silenced, but not convinced.
He watched the actress in all hermotions,
with intense interest, and ere long broke
out again
4 tell ye Bill, that's her-I know It's,
you can't fool me-I know her too
wellv
Bill, who was a good deal interested in
the play, was out of all patience at this
persistent interruption on the part of Tom.
He gave him a tremendous nudge in the
ribs with his elbow as an emphatic hint
for him to keep quiet Tom, without
minding the admonition, said
you just wait-Pll fix her-keep your
eye on mev
Sure enough, he did fix her. Watching
his opportunity, when the actress was
deeply absorbed in her part, he sung out
in voice which rang through the CALLER
ies-Low Bridge.' From force of habit,
the actress instantly and involuntarily
ducked her head to avoid the collision
Down came the house with perfect thun-
der Of applause at this "palpable hit"
high above which Toms voice could be
heard as he returned Bills punch in the
ribs with interest
Didn't tell you, old boy? Iknow'd
it was her. You couldn't fool mel!

A GOOD 'UN.-We heard, the other
day, capital anecdote of witty clergy
man of this city, who is said never to
come off second best in jocuar cncoun-
ter As one day he was passing down
one of the streets of large village in this
State, where he was settled, he was OBJ
served by some waggish hangers-on at a
public house which he was approaching.
One of these fellows, knowing that the
reverend gentleman was "hard case" at
joke, said that he would bet the drinks
for all hands that he could head Mr.. III.
Done, was the response from a number.
AS Mr.. ii came opposite the merry group,
the proproser of the bet called to him.
Mr.. Ii. halted and drew near, whereupon
the confident chap thus addressed him:
Mr.. H., we have dispute here of some
Importance, which we have agreed to leave
to you as one competent to give correct
decision 'Ah what is it?' lit is in
relation to the age of the devil; will you
tell US how old he is?' Gentlemen, said
the imperturbable minister, 'how can you
presume me to be acquainted with mat
ters'of that sort? You must keep your
oacn family recordsP The minister went
about his business, and the vanquished
gentlemen went in and treated freely

A SPANISH BEAUTY.-What pretty
picture the senorita," our landlords s
daughter, made while she knelt near one
of the great pillars, her hands clasped to-
gether, her large dark eyes almost closed,
as she looked demurely down with their
long lashes sweeping her cheek the
cheek through whose clear, pale brown,
there rushed a bright carmine, fluctua-
ting with each changing emotion. And
over her small, delicately shaped head.
with its masses of glossy, dark hair, fell
the graceful folds of the mantilla. made
simply of black net, deeply bordered with
lace, and therefore transparent enough to
show clearly the slightly aquiline nose
and its proudly cut nostrils, and the
curve Of her full, red lips, the upper one
shaded-dare we say it, fair English mai
dens?-with just the very leastlittle black
moustaches that ever grew on Spanish
lip? You may not think it sounds pretty
or looks pretty on paper, but assure YOU
you would if you had seen the reality
