A PiOus MAN and Saved his
Chist


Recently a gentleman riding in an east
ern Railroad car which was scarcely sup
piled with passengers, observed, in a seat
before him, a lean slab-sided Yankee; ev-
cry feature in his face seemed TO ask a
question, and little circumstance soon
proved that he possessed a moro inquir-
ing mind. Before him, occupying the en-
tire seat, sat a lady dressed in deep black.
After shifting his position several times
and maneuyering to get an opportunity
TO look into her face, he finally caught heI
eye.
In afiiictionP
ayes, sir responded the lady quietly
'Parentl-father or mother.
mo, sir
Child, perhopsP
No, sir. not a child, have no chill
dren.'
'Husbund, then l cxpectl'
Yes
Hunt choleral tradin man may be!
MY husband was a sea-faring man, the
captain of vessel, he didn't die of chol
eru, but he was drowned
'Oh, drowned, ehP pursued the lnqulsi-
tor, he5itating a brief instant,
Saved his chistp
Yes, the vessel was saved, and my hus-
bands effects, said the widow curtly.
Was theyP asked the Yankee, his eye
Frightening up. 'Pious mani
.ie was a member Of the Methodist
church.
The next question was a little delayed
but Il came.
Don't you think you have a great cause
to be thankful that he was q pious man
and saved his chi,tp
Il do said the widow abruptly, and
turned her head to look out of the win
dow. The indefntgable pump changed
his position, held the widow by his gilt
tering eye once more, and propounded one
more query, in a lower tone, with his head
slightly inclined forward, over the back Of
the seatl
WAS you ever calculating to get mar
ried againl'
Sir, said the widow, Indignantly, you
are impertinentP And she LEFT her seat
and took another side OF the car.
"Pears TO be a little huhyl" said the
inefable bore, and turning TO our nara
tor behind himi "What did they make
you pay for that little blue umbrella
you've got in your hand"

crowd had gathered upon the wharf, un-
der the impression that somo demonstra-
ton OF hatred for the two departing Con-
gressmen would be made BY the multi

peace. II was perhaps one OF the most
quiet and oderly steamer days ever wit
messed In this city. There was no shout
ing nor loud boisterous mirth; there was
no pelting oforangcs and apples between
those ON the wharf and those on the
steamer. The very newsboys and pea

killed and the rest covered with wounds.

Brown came by his wounds:
Mr.. Sennott-"You say that when
Brown was down you struck him in the

Lieut.. Green-"Yes, sir"

"HAvE PArIENcEl"

A youth aud maid, one winter night,
Were citing in the corner,
Ills name, wc'rc told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maid said.
Beside the young man sittingy
Her checks were flushed rosy red,
Her eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could he guess what thoughts Of him
We're to her bosom nocking S
As her fair fingers, swim and slim,
Flew round and round the stocking
While, rs for Joshua, bashul youth,
HE words grew few and fewer;
Though an the time to tell the truth,
His chair edged nearer to her.
Meantime her ball Of yarn gave out,
She knit so fast aud steady;
And he must give his aid, no doubt.
To get another ready.

Got tangled, snarled, and twisted,

To him who her assisted.
Good chance was this for tongue tied churl
To shorten all palaver;

Aud may really have her -
The deed was done; no more, that night,
Clicked needless in the corner;
And she is Mrs. Joshua White
That once was Patience Warner.

"Old Bullion" once said, "Douglas can
never be President, Srl His coat tail is
too near the ground, Sir! too near the
ground Sir"
But the best thing ever said on Doug
las was by Sam Houston. About the
days Of the KansOs-Nebraska bill, an old
Tennessee friend of Sans met him at
Washington, and in the course of con-
yorsation on the great men of the coun-
try, the name Of Douglas was mentioned.
"Ah! poor Douglass" said Houston,
"he has been sot back"
His friend not understanding the re-
mark, the Texan Senator proceeded to
/ illustrate II by an sneodote Of the family
| Of an old acquaintance Of theirs.
"The old gentleman made it'd rule that
the children should dine at side table un'
I'll they were sixteen years old, at which
age they were permitted TO eat with the
older members Of the family. On one
occasion q visitor, who was aware of thu
custom, observed one of the boys, whom
he thought was Of the requisite age, eat
ing at the side table, and asked him il hl
was not sixteen years old. ayes" sat
the boy, al was sixteen some time ago
and the old man let me come to his table
but there was dish for dinner that wa
very fond Of, and instead of waiting 4
be helped, undertook to help myself, an
reached to far, and met with an accident
and he sot me back two years."
Probably Mr.. Douglas supposes tha
his probation is over, but it would not b.
surprising if he meets with another acci
dent before the meeting Of the Charles
ton Convention.
