The Ugly Family.

In one of the lower districts Of
the Palmeto State, there once lived
a family Of six or seven persons,
who We're known lar and wide as
the ugly family OncofthcmJ Jake,
was so 'unspeakabIy' hard favored,
that it made one feel as if he had
bitten a green ,porcrimmon to look
at him, and whenever lie walked
through thc streets the dogs skunk
their tailsa and sneaked' off, too
shared acknowledgements AR Ifi7
.t.sThe.faale ofstlds family spread
through the country, and at last
reached the ears OF q Georgian,
who, for long time, had held un-
disputed possession OF the ccIebrat-
cd pen knife. This individual de-
tcrnincl at last to pay q visit to
the ugly family, and cndcavor to
dispose of the aforesaid knife. SO
one morning he crossed the Sa-
vanah, aud about noon he saw d
wagon ahead, and rode up to en-
quirc the whereabouts of the 1ami-
ly.
Hello, strangerr said ho to &
man walking beside the wagon.
'IIclly yerself = exclaimed the
wagner, turning round and disclos.

plain that the Georgian almost
dropped from his horse.

The wagonershook his head and

made him look like the nightmare

are the ugIlest man in the State,
said the Georgian.

the wagon he called, wake up, Jake

The Georgian, burningwith curl

was missed slowly up. Suddenly
his eyes fell upon a physiognomy
SO awfully, boundlesly, overpower,
ingly ugly, that it seemed to be
formed, out Of the double extract Of
delirium tremens.
The horse snorted and started

The Magical Breeches.

The Boston Herald says: y new
ly married young fellow who lives
in Salem Street, asked his spouse
to go to the theatre one evening
last week: she excused herself on
the ground that she had the tooth
ache, but pursuaded him to go a.
lone, and he went. On arriving at
the door he was told that he could
not get'a seat, whereupon he re-
turned home, and finding his wife
in bed, he retired also. In a few
minutes the suffering wife desired
him to get up and go for brandy
and laudanum, as her tooth put her
in such agony that she could not
bearit. He hastily puton his clothes
and went to a drug store on the
corner. In paying for the articles
purchased, the young man was as
tonished to find the pockets Of his
pantaloons replenishcd with plenty
of gold and silver, and on further
examination he found q wallet with
S164 in bills in it. hepantaloons
hehad on were of fine broadcIoth
while his usualnether garments was
coarse cashmere. He went home
in not very plcasantmood, reflect
ing as to the mysterious metamor-
phose, but his own pantaloons We're
not to be found, and his wife, on
learning his dilemma, became so
perfectly crazcdwith thotooth.ache
that she could not say q word

ded it to be a genuine magic, or
whether he suspected that some
Don Juan had been concealed

our informant did not ascertain;-

Not long afterwards, John Smith,

any other man living, married the
widow Walker and brought her
with the children to New York

A Girl Without Arms or Legs.

The Bristol Gazette describer a
wonderful case of deformity in the
family of Job Jameson, who lives
eleven miles north Of that town.
One, was. born completely dosti-
tuto both Of asms and legs, the sit
uation of which is NEARLY indica-
ted by small rounded projections,
thus being, in fact, a mere human
trunk surmounted bya head, She
possesses, however, a remarkable
power of locomotion, and can tram
sport herself over the floor with
ease, by submitting her body to a
kind Of rotary. motion alternately
from righ to left, and the contrary.
BY combining the handle of a broom
between her chin and shoulder, she
can aweep the floor with consider
able dexterity, She can also sit G.
rect, lean back, or rock herself in
q chair as well as any other person;
and when anythieg is gwen her,
she makes a sign for it to be placed
on her shoulder. If it be any sol
id article of food, she eats ii from
that situation. She is of a fun
plump habit, healthy, and possesses
a remarkably lively disposition.
