A DocToR OUTwITrED.--Dr. Hall Jack
son, Of New Hampshire was one of the most
| able, talented and eccentric surgeons of the
last century. His practice embraced large
circuit, and his fame extended TO every part
of the state. The doctor was one morning
sitting in his Office, poring over some medi-
cal work fresh from the mother country, Wis
Boston, when loud rap at the door aroused
him.
'Come in," said he: and An old woman
hobbled into the apartment, who seemed to
be the very embodiment Of dirt and negli-
gence.
"Doctor, I've got sore foot; can you help
| il?"
II will try. Let me see it,"
The old crone proceeded to dvest her
understanding of the apology for hose with
which it was covered, and displayed to the
astonished doctor a foot--and such a
foot!
"Heavens!" exclaimed the man of medi-
cine, throwing up both hands in amazement,
"what dirty foot!"
"La! doctor. you needn't be in such a
wonderment about it; there's dirtier foot
than that in your own house, as proud as
these young ladies, your darters, are, for all
that" and the old hag cackled for her pleas
ure at the doctors astonishment.
"Woman, il you can find dirtier foot
than that in my house, l will give you a
guinea, and cure your foot for nothing"
"'Pon honor?n said the beldame.
"Upon honor" responded the doctor.
| The old woman stripped off the other
stocking, and displayed foot that beggsrd
all description, and griuning in the face Of
the doctor, exclaimed
"Gi' me the guinea, gi' me the guinea! l

A Poor Scholar.

A professor of Latin in the University Of
Edinburgh, now no more, having desired
the students to give list Of their names in
Latin, was greatly surprized at seeing writ
ten on slip ofthe paper the name "Joannes
Ovum Novum"
After in vain seeking for translation Of
this, he at last became convinced that it was
either one of those dark Latin passages
which even the skill of Bently would have
failed in solving, or it was hoax.
He therefore,, next day in the class. read
out the three dark words, and desired the
writer Of them to stand up.
One of the pupils Immediately rose.
"What are you?" said the professor.
"A poor scholar, SIR was the answer.
"A very poor scholar, indeed, sir--or you
would never have written such stuff as
Joannes Ovum Novum." That can't be your
name, sir.
81 don't see" said the student, "where you
can find better Latin; my name is John
Eggnew. 'Ovum' for egg, 'Novum' for new;
'Ovum Novum-Eggnew."
The professor, seeing he had rather the
worst Of it, Immediately laid his finger on
his forehead and looking at his hopeful pu-
pill, who was standing somewhat in the atti-
tude Of drill sergeant, exclaimed in pitt
full voice: . 80
"Alas! alas! something is wrong here, no
doubt .-....l... +. E.;fa

striking his hand upon his own forehead,

A Juror WHO DIDN'T LIKE POINTED Ar

governor of an Atlantic state, was employed
for the defence on trial for murder. The
governor found it necessary, in the course of

the testimony Of witness for the prosecu-
tion. In the midst of a most searching
and logical sentence, wherin he was convin-
cling the jury that the witness swore to more

ryman-a tall, lank fellow, evidently from
