81 TOLD YOU so."-A woman who was in the
habit of declaring, after the occurrence of any
unusual event, that she had predicted it, was
one day very cleverly "sold" by her worthy
spouse, who, like many another we wot of, had
got tired of hearing that eternal II told you so."
Rushing into the house, breathless with excite
ment, he dropped into chair, elevated his
hands and exclaimed:
30! wife wife! what what--do you think
The old brindle cow has gone and eat up our
grindstone!"
The old woman was ready; and hardly wait
ing to hear the last word, she screamed out at
the top of her lungs
81 told you so, you old fool! told you so!
You always would let it stand out of doors"

ANEoDoTE.-A few days since several Virgin
ia politicians called at the White House to pay
their respects to the President, and, in the
course of conversation Mr.. B. related the follow
ing, with great glee:
"When Vice-Presidant Breckinridge visited
Kentucky, last December, for the purpose of
making his speech before the Legislature, he met
General Leslie Combs, the old Clay leader fthe
Whig party, of that State, and addressed him as
follows "Gen. Combs, you have performed
longer service, and more valuable service, to
your party, with less reward, than any living
man." To which Gen. Combs promptly replied:
Major Breckenridge, you have performed short
er service, and less service, for your party, with
greater reward, than any living man.

We hope our London agent will send copy
of the following to the author of "Love me Lit
tie, love me Long" 1t is remarkable bit
of verbal justification: "a tall western girl
named short, long loved certain big Mr.. Lit
tle-whils Little, little thinking of Short loved
little lass named Long. To make long story
short, Little proposed to Long, and Short lonsed
to be even with Little's short coming. So Short
meeting Long, threatened to marry Little before
long, which caused Long in short time to mar
ry Little. Query.-Did tall Short love big Lit
tie less, because big Little loved little LoD9a''

BLAsPHEMY IN NAPLES. A criminal action is
now pending at Naples, against the clerk of an
English gentleman, for simplicity and blasphemy."
Amongst other evidences against him, it is al
legged that "he declared that the miracle of the
blood of St. Januarius was a trick, and that Ker-
not Gan English druggisD could make better by
liquefying the condensed blood with chemical
preparations" Another piece of testimony
brought against him was Exercises on the
French Participles," from which the following
passage is extracted, described by the Judge In
structor as ''sinning with religious irreverence,
in saying that beautiful and attractive woman
is more than an angel. The person accused Is
out on bail, paid by his master, ard the case is
as yet undecided.

The TALENT OF SUooEss-E Every man must
patiently abide his time. He must wait. Not
in listless dleness, nor useless pastime,s not in
querulous detection, but in constant, steady,
cheerful endeavor, always willing, fulfilling and
accomplishing his task, that when the occasion
comes he may be equal to the occasion. The
talent of success is nothing more than doing
what you can do well, without thought OF
fame. If it comes at all, it will come because it
is not sought after. 1t is very indiscreet and
troublesome ambition which cares 30 much a.
bout fame, about what the world says of us, to
always be looking into the face of others for ap-
proval, to be always anxious about the effect Of
what we do or say, to be always shouting to
hear the echoes of our own nvoices.-L0ngfeIt0so

met him in the cars,
Where resignedlY he sat;
His hair was full of dust,
And SO was his cravat;
He was furthermore embellished
By ticket in his hat.
The conductor touched his arm
And woke him from nap,
When he gave his feeding flies
An admonitory slap,
And his ticket to the man
In the yellow-lettered cap.
So launching into talk,
We ratified on our way,
With allusion to the crops
That along the meadow lay
Whereupon his eyes were lit
With speculative ray.
The heads of mary men
Were bobbing as in sleep,
And many babies lifted
Their voices up to weep;
While the coal dust darkly fell
On the bonnets in heap.
All the while the swaying cars
Kept rumbling o'er the rail,
And the frequent whistle sent
Shrieks of anguish to the gale
And the cinders pSttered down
On the grimy floor like hail.
When suddenly jar.
And thrice-repeated bump,
Made the people in alarm
From their easy cushions jump,
For they deemed the sound to be
The inevitable trump.
A splintering crash below.
A doom forboding twitch,
As the tender gave lurch
Beyond the flying switch,
And mangled mass of men
Lay writhing in the ditch.
With palpitating heart
My friend essayed to rise,
There were bruises on his limbs
And stars before his eyes,
And his face was of the hue
Of dolphin when he dies.
was very we'll content
In escaping with my life;
But my mutual friend
Commenced legal strife
Being thereunto melted
By his lawyer and his wife.
And he writes me the result,
In his quiet way as follows:
That his case came up before
A bench of legal scholars,
Who awarded him his claim
Of fifteen hundred dollars.

LIFE OF JOHN BELL.

by an MttnlGte AcqNntHt0Hce.
The Honorable John Bell was born on
Mason and Dixou's line, of rich but pious
parents, and was noted for his ringing voice
His extreme personal beauty suggested that
delicious poem, in which the poet asks his
friend, Brandon:
"Did you ever see the beautiful Bell, Brandon 2
He spent the earlier years of his life or
a plantation, acquiring such fine cultivation
that his epistolary efforts are regarded with
admiration by the whole world, and no man
is considered good scholar who IS moi
familiar with Bells letters. As Mr.. Bel
grew to manhood, he gradually eschewed
all youthful society and cultivated 'old''
gentleman exclusively, and was noted for
his venerable virtues. On one occasion, he
won the friendship of tea total society Of
old maids, under the following circumstan
ces: Being asked if he believed the use
