Es- An old lady from a temperance vii
lage, lately attended a party in town, where,
of course champagne was served, and was
prevailed upon to take a glass. She drank
two, when smacking her lips, she exclaim'
ed:
sWel it may be a wicked drink, but it's
good!

sr A rather green village editor up
country was very DESTROYS of gaining the
good graces of the new minister, and in
describing his first entrance into church,
wrote thus: He is a most venerable sam

and the amazement of all the inhabitants it
came out the next morning in types, He
is a most venerable sample of iniquity.'

HONEYMOON CONVERSATION.

A correspondent Of the Delauarian, wri-
ting from a watering place, gives the follow
ing report of a conversation between a new
iy married couple from Virginia. There
is a depth of affection in it which is refresh
ing to contemplate:
sWilliam-dear William said the wife,
with a world of affection in her eyes.
Speak heavenly oharmer,' replied the
new husband, returning with interest the
expressive glauces of his spouse.
Dear William!
sAdored Eliza
Sweet fatterer!
angelic creature
Dear, dear William, pardon me-but do
you think a short walk would hurt us, as
the divine Willis says?'
Il fear, ~lovliest of thy sex, that you may
be fatigued.'
sFear not, dearest!
Heavenly emanation-bright dream Of
my precarious existence-but I cannot help
fearing
Sweet William
Celestial Elizar
Here they fell to violent kissing, which
lasted about fifteen minutes. Almost breath
lessly, the lady exclaimed:
William, dear William, why are you SO
sweet? Oh, the JOY, the ecstacy of wed.
ded bliss! Best beloved, will you ever
love me thus?
by yonder fearful say tremendous
orb I swear he exclaimed, pointing 70 the
setting sun.

you cherished idol
yes, my only pet-my life-my love-
will bring you here every year-if my cap
ital holds out!
oh, bravest and best of thy noble sex,
talk not of capital in this, our hour Of bliss.
How much longer they talked the writer
cannot say, for be was called away at this
moment to welcome some friends from
Maryland. But he is firmly of the opinion
that none but married folks know what real
happiness is. While the above happy
couple were talking, he felt as if immersed
in molasses, and everything since has look.

saS An Irishmau, being very fond Of cool
milk for his dinner, his wife always kept it
in the spring in a large bowl. One day a
frog concluded to take quarters in the bowl,
it being just deep enough to hide him.
Dinner came on, and the old woman put
the bowl before the old man, not dreaming
Of a frog being in it.
The old man went on enjoying his milk
and bread as usual, until he had drank il
so low as to make the frog visible, when he
exclaimed:
Faith and be jabers, old omern, what's
this in me milk?
oh, nothing, John. but a mere bit of a
mote

IRIsHMEN IN AMER1cA.-Mr. William
Smith O'Brien, in his recent lecture before
a Dublin audience, said that he found the
condition of the Irish people in America
more prosperous than he expected. He was
impressed with the notion that they were
mere hewers of wood and drawers of water ;
but he found, on the contrary, that in every
part of America, they occupied as high a
social position as the men of any other
race. Many of the laboring classes endured
poverty, but he was assured that, except in
rare instances, the success of every man de-
pended on his own conduct. In Ireland it
was impossible for a workingman to raise
himself from the position in which he was
born; but in America almost every man
might hope to reach the very highest Office
of the State. The average daily wages for
unskilled workmen was one dollar, or four
shillings per- day, so that he might, if he
pleased, save up the rest land was so cheap
that possession in fee could be obtained Of
land at prices varying from five shillings to
ten pounds per English acre, and many men

The PRINTERS DoLLARs.-The prin-
tar's dollars! Where are they? We will
suppose one of them in somebody's pocket
in Toronto, another in Hamilton, another
in Woodstock, and a fourth in St. Thomas,
while a fifth is resting securely in some
city or town in the far west. A dollar here
and there, scattered all over towns, all over
the country, miles upon miles apart-hoW
shall they be gathered together? The type
founder has his hundreds of dollars against
the printer, the paper maker, the building
owner, the journeyman compositor, the gro
Ger, the tailor and all assistants to him in
carrying on his business, have their de.
mands, hardly ever so small as a single dol,
lar. But the mites from here aud there
must be diligently gathered and patiently
boarded, or the wherewith to discharge the
large bills will never become bulky. We
imagine the printer will have to get up an
address to his widely scattered dollars some
thing like the following: Dollars, halves,
quarters, Dimes and all manner of fractions
into which ye are divided, collect yourselves
and come home! Ye are wanted Com.
binations of all sorts of men that help the
printer to become a proprietor, gather in
such force and demand with such good rea-
sons your appearance at his counter, that
nothing short of a sight of you will appease
them. Collect yourselves, for valuable as
you are in the aggregate, single you will
never pay the cost of gathering. Come in
here iu silent single file, that the printer
may form you into battalion, and send you
forth again to battle for hir' and vindicate
his feeble credit Reader, are you sure
you hav'nt a couple of the printers dollars
sticking about your clothes?

A STORY FOR BoYs.-It is related of a
Persian mother that, on giving her son for
ty pieces of silver as his portion, she made
him swear never to tell a lie.
go on, my son 1 cousign thee to God,
and we shall not meet again till the day of
Judgment
The youth went his way, aud the party
he travelled with were assaulted by robbers.
One fellow asked the boy what he had,
and he said:
'Forty dinners are sown up in my gar
ments.'
He laughed, thinking he TESTED.
Another asked him the same question,
and received the same answer
At last the chief called him and asked
him the same question.
The boy said:
Il have told two of your people already
that I have forty dinners sewed- up in my
clothes
He ordered his clothes to be ripped open,
and found the money.
sAnd how came you to tell this ? said
the chief.
because I would not be false to my
mother, to whom l promised never to tell
a lie,' said the boy.
Child said the robber, 'art thou SO
Mindful of thy duty to thy mother at thy
years, and I am so insensible at my age Of
the duty I owe to God? Give me thy hand,
that | may swear repentance on it,
You have been our leader to SIM said
they to the chief, 'be the same in the path
of virtue
And they Immediately made restitution
on the boys hand.
There is a good moral in this story, which
goes beyond the direct influence of the
mother on the child. The sentiments infu'
sed into the breast of a child are again
transferred from breast to breast.

NEWSPAPERS IN PARIS.

A few statistics have lately appeared in
a French paper, relative to the circulation
of some Partisan journals. The names Of
all the leading papers are given. Their is
sues are said to be as follows:
Press, forty-six thousand, increasing
Steele, thirty.four thousand, receding; Con-
stiitutionnel, twenty-five thousand, inereas'
ing Mniteur, t%wenty-four thousand, sta
tionary; Patrie, eighteen thousand, increaS'
ing in a marked manner; Illustration, TWEEN
ty-6ve thousand, recently purchased fol-
three hundred and forty thousand dollars,
increasing; Pays, sixteen thousand, increas'
ing; De6ats, nine thousand, receding
Assembke Rationale, five thousand, de-
creasing; Gazette de France, two thousand,
receding. The Univers, suppressed 1851,
was rapidly increasing when its suppression
took place. The statician states that these
figures, although he cannot vouch for their
perfect accuracy, will furnish a good idea
of the number of readers addressed by each
OF the papers, named. lie says that, not
w~ithstanding the many periodicals of which
the Government has stopped the publlca'
ton, there are more newspapers and mag
azines in France at present, than there were
before the Emperor Napoleon ILL., ascend
ed the throne.
The srates of remuneration paid to VII
tiers of every sort have rapidly increased
within a few years; and but for the extra
ordinary influx of literary persons that is
poured into Paris periodically from provin'
cial cities and towns, gentlemen of the press
could command as good pay there as in any
City in the world We are told that there
are as many papers, magazines, etc., circu'
lated in Paris, not included in the above
list, as those contained in it. The sun
total of the figures given is two hundred and
two thousand, and, of course, twice thai
number would be four hundred and foul
thousand. Allowing Paris to have one
million one hundred thousand Inhabitants.
it would seem, then, that there is published
a newspaper or periodical for every three
persons, which is notso bad for France.
