SADNESS OF HuMoRIsrs.-One Of
the anomalies of literary history, in
that it has been the lot of those men
who have contributed largely to the
mirth and recreation of others, to endure
more than an ordinary share of the mis-
cry and want of their own lives. The
most entertaining portions of literature
have been written by men whose hearts
have been bowed down by sorrow, and
at moments when that sorrow has been
the heaviest. 1t was in the gloom Of
mothers death, deepened by his own
poverty, that Johnson penned the
charming tale hf "Rasselais :" it was
in the chill desolation of bare and fit
less garret, that poor Goldsmith, the
beloved vagrant of literature, sketched
the brightest pictures of domestic hap
piness the world ever had it was from
a sick bed, in some distress, and in
necessitous exile, that Tom Hood shook
all England with laughter. TIE en-
chantment of Scott, the satire of Jer
rold, half the gems of English wit and
humor, have been thrown out by genius
in its own sorrowful moments.

ABOUT JosEpH.-A gentleman, Just
arrived from Bavaria, and who held a
high position of a diplomatic nature
therd, relates the following good story
While going througe the royal pic
ture gallery at Stutgardt, accompanied
by servant, he observed two ladies of
high rank, attended by female SER
want, who WIRE gazing with critical eyes
on the picture Of the i''Temptatinn of
Joseph" Potiphar's wife being repre-
sented as a most beautiful woman
Suddenly all three were observed to
laugh heartily, and shortly after pre-
pared to leave the gallery. As his
male servant was well acquainted with
the attendant of the ladies, he asked
her what they were laughing at
'Well," she replied, ''my mistress said
to the other lady that Joseph was
grert fool, and-(simpering)-as tho't
exactly the same-why-a-well-we
all laughed"

A TOUCHING instance of connubial
affection and devotion occurred not long
since in New Hampshire. An aged
couple, who during half century of
married life had wrangled and quarrel
ed with each other, were in all proba-
bility soon to be separated. The old
husband was soon taken sick, and be-
lieved to be near his end. The old
spouse came to his bedside, and after
carefully examining and taking stock
of his condition, exclaimed:
"Wy, daddy, your feet are cold, and
your hands are cold. and your nose is
cold.o
"Wa'al let um be cold"
'Wy, daddy, you're going to dier

porter judged that the correct and del
icate thing for him to do would be to
retire. He retired.
