amused himself and annoyed the others
by roaring forth fragments of negro mel

PAT AND HIS PIG.-A rollicking Hi.
bernian of the light division in the Pen,
insula, was trudging along the road with
a pig tied to a string behind him, when,
as bad luck would have it, he was over
taken by Gen Canford. The salutation,
as may be supposed, was not the mosi
cordial.
"Where did you steal that pig, you
plundering rascal I"
"What pig, generali" exclaimed Pad,
dy, turning round with the most Innocent
surprise.
"Why, that pig you have behind you,
you villain"
"Well, then, protest, general" re-
joined Paddy, nothing abashed. and turn
turning round TO his four-footed compan-
ion, as if he had never seen him before,
''it is scandalous to think what n wicked
world we live in, and how ready folks
are to take away an honest boys charae-
ter. Some blackguard wanting to gel
me into trouble, has tied that baste to my
cartouch box"
The general smiled and rode on.

gravely informed me that several declined
their feed unless served on a silver plate.

Anecdotes of a Family Physician.

A foxhunter, somewhat stricken in
years, consulted DIR. Abernethy. The
mans digestion was not so good as it had
been; he had lost his appetite; a man
delighted him not, nor woman either
"Sir," saidS Abernethy, "you drink a
great deal" "Now,' said the foxhunter
when relating the interview, 'now sup
posing do drink good deal, what the
devil was that to him p
A literary gentleman called upon him,
He, too, had disordered stomach. "Of
course you have" said Abernethy, ga
half-blind man could tell that by your
nose"
He used to have his wine of a mer-
chant whose name was Lloyd. He one
day called to pay for pipe, and thrust
handful of papers containing fees into
the wine-merchant's hand. "Stop, stop,
Doctor, there may be much more here
than you have to pay" "Never mind,
Lloyd can't stop. You have them as
l had them.
He was very careless of money. He
would receive heavy fee, place the
money upon the table, and forget all
about it. "Lead me not into temptation"
is the holiest, because the huublest pray
err Some few Of his pupils were led
into temptation. The loss of money was
so considerable that the surgeon was de-
termined to ascertain who was the deln-
quent. He marked the money, and ap-
pearing suddenly before his pupils said,
"Now young gentlemen be pleased to
show me your purses" The thieves
were discovered and dismissed.
He was one day about to perform an
operation--a very painful one. AS was
his custom, he took care to see for him
self that all the required instruments were
at hand, and in tirst-rate order IL think
everything is all right" said one of his
assistants ''No, sir, everything is not all
right" replied DIR. Abernethy. ''Get a
napkin to conceal those terrifying instru-
ments. The man need not be horrfed by
the sight"
The memory of DR.. Abcrnethy was
singularly active and tenacious. A friend
of poetical turn Of mind composed some
verses complimentary TO Mrs, Abernethy,
which he recited after dinner on her ma .
tai day. Abcrncthy listened attentively,
and Immediately after the reading termin-
ated, exclaimed, "Come that is a good
joke, to attempt passing off those verses as
your original composition. know them
by hcart;' and Abernethy at once re-
pcated them without the mistake of a
word. The poet was astonnded. myslifi-
ed, angry! The amused host explained,
and offered to repeat rerJdtm any piece oil
about the same length which any one in
the company would recite.

There is something very strange, and
almost mesmerical, in the report between
two evil natures. Bring two homes. men
together, and it is ten to one if they re-
cognlze each other as honest difference
in temper, manner, even politics, may
make each mi:judge the other. But bring
together Two men, unprincipled and per-
verted-men who, if born in cellar,
would have been food for the hulk or
gallows--and they recognize each other
by instant sympathy.

A house advertised for rent in Louis
vile remained for some time without n
tenant. A few days ago a furniture-car
drove up, and in an hour things were ar
ranged, and negro family at home there.
The landlord was naturally surprised, as
he had not rented the house. The colored
party had rented it of fellow who repre-
sented himself as the owner, and who had
taken twenty dollars a month in advance
of his colored friends-a rent half lower
than the real landlord asked.
