CAN'T YOU BUY FOR LESS.

The following good joke is told OF
Charley c., notorious wit, ana 9 c'efA III
an extensive hardware house in B..
One day, G. was standing in bis STORE,
which is q double one, having door
cut in the wall between the two houses'
when he was accosted by very grave,
parsonage, wearing long drab coat, anu
whom he knew to be the deacon with tue
query =. ..
What's the price Of nails"
"Six cents" replied G.
"Too high," said the deacon. "Can
buv them for five and u half"
"Can you buy them for less r asked
"No," replied the deacon; but can
get all l want for that"
"Turning on his heel. the deacon went
out and entered the door of the next house,
while G. slipped out through the middle:
door, and having pulled off his coat. and
picked up hammer, met the deacon,
who, not recognizing him, inquired the
price of nails.
Five and a half CENTS" responded
"Whew I" whistled the deacon. Too
high-can buy the best at Eve aud quar-
ter" .'5
"Cant you buy for less ~ asked G.
"No," said our friend, but can buy at
that"
Away he went agan, and walked up
stairs, through another door--the upstairs
being occupied by another firm and =;
sliding into the lower house again and
going upstairs, again met the deacon who,
for the third time, inquired the price OF
nails. '.
"Five and quarter cents" replied e.
give and qurattr J" calculated the
deacon. " Can buy the best at five cents"
"No less 2" asked G. p to5,a.-
NO." said the deacon, as he was about
to leave, when G. took hold Of him and
said
Friend, I've quoted nails to you at
six, five and half, and five and guar,
ter cents each time you said you could
buy them for less. Now, when you preach
again, just let me know and l will corro'
borate your statements.
It is needless to say the enterpr's'ng
deacon made his exit in double quick
time, without having the grace to reply
to the accommodating clerk.

THE BAFFLED LAWYER.

At recent sitting of the Cork ASST
zcs, case was brought before the Court
in which the principal witness for the
defence was tanner, we'll known in the
surrounding country by the soubriquet of
"Crazy Pat"
Upon Crazy Pat being called upon for
his evidence, the Attorney for the prose-
cution exerted to the utmost extent all OF
his knowledge of legal chicanery in the
endeavor 20 force the witness into some
slight inconsistency, upon which he could
build "point ;" but he was excessively
annoyed to find that Crazy Pats evidence
was consistent throughout.
Perceiving that acute questioning fail.
ed to answer bis purpose, the disciple of
Coke and Blackstone betook himself to
that oftentime successful source Of law
yers-ridicule
"What did you say your name was?" he
enquired flippantly.
"Folks call me Crazy Pat but"
"Crazy Pat, eh? A very euphonious
title quite romantic, eh Z"
Romantic or not, sur it wouldn't be a
bad idea if the Parliment would give it
to yourself, IAN lave me to choose an
other"
This caused slight laugh in the court
room, and the presiding judge peeped
over his spectacles at the attorney, as
much as to say, You have your match
now"
"And what did you say your trade
was ?" continued the disconnected barris-
ter, with an angry look at the witness.
( II am tanner, sur" f
"a tanner, eh? And how long do you
think it would take to tan the hide of ar
ox?"
"Wel1, sur, since it seems to be very
important fur ye to know it's mesel
that'll jist tell ye-it's OWN entirely te
circumstances, intirely.' fs
"Did you ever tan the hide of al
ass 2"
can ass /? No, sur; but if you'll jis
step down the land after the coort, b
iabbers! I'll give you a physical de
monstration that 1 could tan the hide Q
an ass in the shortest end of three mir
utes. ...-..s e
This unexpected reply of the witnes
brought forth roars Of laughter, in whic
the bench heartily joined whilst the ba
fled attorney. blushing to the eyes, hast
ly informed Crazy Pat that hc was n
longer required. ''' ..

I'm notifed-fair neighbor, mine
By one Of our Profession,
That this-the term of Valentine-

Permit me, therefore, to report
Myself on this occasion,
Quite ready to proceed to Court,
And File my Declaration.
I've an Attachment for you, too:
A legal and strong one;
0, yield unto the Process, do;
Nor let it be a long one!
No scewling bailiff Turks behind;
He'd be a precious noddy,
Who, failing to Arrest the mad,
Should 60 and take the Body.
For though form like yours might throw
A sculptor in distraction;
l couldn't serve Capias-nO-
I'd scorn so base an Action!
o, do not tell me of your youth,
And turn away demurely;
For, though you're very young, in TRUTH
You're not IN infant, surely!
Inc case Is everything 10 me;
My heart is loves own tissue;
Don't plead Dilatory Plea;
Let's have the General Issue.
Or, since you've really no Defence,
Why not, this present Session,
Omitting all absurd pretence,
Give Judgement by Confession
So shall you be my lawful wife;
And I-your faithful lover
Be Tenant of your heart for Life,
With no Remainder over!
