Didn't Wish TO Insult Her.

~
The apology was cool, but it certainly
should have been satisfactory.
Bill P. is known all over, and Bill was
at the ball in all his glory. All his me-
cessaries for pleasure were on hand
good music, pretty girls and excellent
whisky. The evening passed off rapidly,
as it always does, and Bill had, at about
one o'clock, became pretty happy. Step.
ping up to young lady, he requested
the pleasure Of dancing with her. She
replied that she was engaged.
SWELL" said Bill, "are you engaged
for the next?"
She said she was.
Scan I dance with you the next, then?'
II am engaged for that also"
"Can I dance with you tonight
"Nol" with some hesitancy.
aGo to Bcstonl" said Bill. highly In
dignant, and turned on his heel.
After few moments Bill was accosted
by the brother of the young lady, and
charged him with insulting bis sister.
Bill denies; but processes himself will
ling to apologize if he has done wrong
and accordingly steps up to the young
lady, when the following conversation en-
sued:
aMiss L., Understand have insultet
you?"
aYou have, SIR
"what did I say, Miss L?''
"You told me to 60 to Boston,"
"Well," said Bill, 81 have come to tel
you that youssneedn't 60"

An Incident in Arkansas.

Pete Milestone, Of Arkansas, was
once travelling on horseback through the
interior of the State called one evening to
stay all night at a log house near the
road, where entertainment and postofice
was kept. Two other strangers were
there. and the mail-rider rode up about
dark. Supper being over, the mail car
rier and the three gentlemen were invi-
ted to small roe m furnished with good
fire and two beds, which were to accom-
nodate the four persons for the night
The mail carrier was alittle, shabby, dir
ty looking wretch, with whom none Of
tho gentlemen liked the idea of sleeping.
Pete Milestone eyed him closely, as be
asked:
aWhere do you sleep to night, my lad2'
"I'll thleep with you, / reckon" lisp
ed the youth, Cor one O. them other fell
lers; don't care which"
The other two gentlemen took the hint,
and occupied one of the two beds togeth-
er Immediately, leaving the other bed and
the confab to be enjoyed by Pete and the
mail-boy as best they could. Pete and
the boy commenced hauling off their
duds, and Pete getting into bed first, and
wishing to get of sleeping with the boy,
remarked very earnestly:
sMy friend, I'll tell you beforehand,
I've got the itch, and you had better not
get in here with me, for the disease is
catching
The boy, who was just getting in bed,
drawled out very cody:
"Wal, l reckon that don't make bit
O. diference-I've had it now nearly these
theven years, and inte the bed he pitch
ed, along with Pete, who pitched out in
as great hurry as if he had walked up a
hornets nest in the bed.
The other gentlemen roared, and the
mailboy, who had got peaceable posses
sion of the bed, drawled out:
"Why, you must be set o. darned
fules; man and dads got the each a heap
wurth than 1 is, and they thlep in that
bed latht night when they wath here at
the quiltin'.'
The other two strangers we're nowin a
worse predicament that Pete, and, boun-
cling from their nest like the old house
had been on Gre, stripped, shook their
clothes, put them on again, ordered their
horses, aud though it was nearly 10
o'clock, they all three left and rode seye-
raj miles to the next town before they
slept, leaving the imperturable mail car
rier to the bliss of scratching and sleep
ing alone.

A ST REAK AHEAD OF NoAH.-A dis
pute once arose between two Scotchmen,
named Campbell and M'Lean, upon the
antiquity of their families. The latter
would not allow that the Campbells had
any rig hit to rank with the M'Leans in
antiquity, who, he insisted, were in exis-
tence as clan since the beginning of the
world. Campbell had a little more Bi-
blical knowledge than his antagonist,
and asked him if the clan Of the M Leans
was before the flood.
"Flood! What food?" asked M'Lean.
"The fobd, you know, that drowned all
the world but Noah and his family, and
his flock, said Campbell.
"Pooh! you and your food" said
NJ Lean; "my clan was afore the flood"
81 have not read in my bible, said
Campbell, "of the name Of NJ Lean going
into Noah's Ark"
,'Noah's Ark" retorted M'Lean, in
contempt. "Who ever heard o AN Lean
that hadn't boat o. his ain2"

John Randolph Headed.

Randolph was travelling through part
of Virginia, in which he was acquainted;
meantime he stopped at an inn near the
forks Of the road. The inn keeper was
a fine gentleman, and no doubt of one Of
the frst families in the Old Dominion.-
Knowing who his distinguished guest
was, he endeavored during the evening
to draw. him into conversation, but failed
in his efforts. But in the morning, when
Mr.. Randolph was ready to start, he call
ed for his bill, which on being presented
was paid. The landlord, still anxious to
have some conversation with him, began
as follows:
(Which way are you travelling, Mr..
Randolph
"Sir,' said Randolph, with look Of
displeasure, "haven't | paid my bill1"
Eyes
"Do | owe you anything mores"
mo"
"Well, I'm going just where l please
do you understand
;fYes."
The landlord by this time got some
what excited, and Mr.. Randolph drove
of. But to the landlords surprise, in a
few minutes the servant came to enquire
for his master which Of the forks of the
road to take. Mr.. Randolph not being
out Of hearing distance, he spoke out, al
the top of his voice:
aAlr. Randolph, you don't owe me one
cent-just take which road you please.
The death of Mormon bishop is thus

A Milwaukee young lady had her cap
set for "rather large teller" but failed
to win him, when a confident tried to
comfort her with, the words, "Never
mind, Mollie, there is as good fish in the
sea as ever was caught. "Mollie knows
that, replied her little brother, "but she
wants a whale.
