On SIGHT ON DEMAND.-One of Gen. Porter's
staff is responsible for the following anecdote;
Judge c., well known, highly respecta-
Knickerbocker, on the shady side of fifty, wild
over with five children, full of fun and frolic,
ever ready for joke, to give or take, was ban
tered one evening by Miss offve and twenty,
for not taking a wife. She urged that he was
hale and hearty, and deserved matrimonial
messmate. He acknowledged the fact; admitted
that he was convinced by the eloquence OF his
fair friend that he had been thus far remiss, and
expressed contrition for the fault confessedj en-
ded with offering himself to the lady, telling her
she could not certainly reject him after pointing
out his heinous offence.
The lady replied that she would be most hap
DIV to take the situation so uniquely advertised,
and become bone of his bone and flesh of his
flesh, but there was one, to her, very serious OBJ
stacle.
well, said the Judge, name it. My profess
sion is to surmount Obstacles
'Ah, Judge this is beyond your powers,
have vowed, if ever marry widower, he must
have ten children"

The Age of Wisdom.


Ho, pretty page with the dimpled chin,
That never has known the barber's shear,
All you wish is a woman to win;
This is the way that boys begin .tHa
Wait till you come to Forty Year.
Curly locks cover foolish brains,
Billing and cooling is all your cheer;
Signing and singing of midnight strains,
Under the Bonnybell's window panes-
Wait till you come to Forty Year.
Forty times over let Michaelmas pass
Grizzling hair the brain doth clear;
Then you know the boy an ass,
Then You know the worth of lass,
Once you have come to Forty Year.
Pledge me round, bid ye declare,
All good fellows whose boards are gray,
Did not the fairest of the fair
Common grow, and wearisOme, ere
Ever month was passed away
The reddest lips that ever have kissed,
The brightest eyes that ever have shonei
MAY pray and whisper, and we not list,
Or look away and never be missed,
Ere yet over a month IS gone.
Gillian's dead-God rest her bier
How I loved her twenty years synel
Marian's married, but sit here,
Alone and merry at Forty Year,
Dipping my nose in the Gascon wine

A lawyer, pleading for burglar, against
whom the case was clear, contended that as he
had been caught before he had introduced more
of his person than the upper part into the house
in question, asked: ''Can man be said to en-
ter a house when only one half of his body was
in and the other half out?" ~ shall leave the
whole matter to the jury. They must judge OF
the law and the facts as proved replied the
Judge The jury brought in verdict of guilty
as to one half of the body from the waist up,
and mot guilty as to the other half. The judge
sentenced the guilty half to two years impris-
onment, leaving it to the prisoners option to
have the not guilty half cut off or take it along
with him.
