Dangerous Places.

My wife gave me this text this morning after
related my dream of last night, in which 1
imagined myself surrounded by deep holes in
the earth filled with dirty water and foul va
pors, Dangerous places, indeed" says she,-
"many of our sidewalks are very slippery, and
made still more so by the constant sliding of
children; it is extremely dangerous for even
ladies to pass along; they are often run against,
and if they are fortunate to escape being knock
ed down and run over. their dresses are pulled
out of the gathers and otherwise injured" If
the police would but keep one eye open, and
look after these little law breakers, many acct
dents would be prevented; but there are so
many other places in close proximity to these
and other walks, that are not only very slippery
but very dangerous, especially after dark, that
it requires their whole force to keep the pub
lie on their legs. 1t is useless to put ashes on
such places; all who travel ever them must
slip down." even the police who wear creepers,
can hardly stand up. Nothing short of saw
dust, sprinkled on by the Legislature, can
make these places safe or even tolerable pass
able. 3V fe zee t'it "a

A bashfuland rather green young
fellow invited a young lady to at
tend ball with him one night
last summer. The invitation was
accepted and the young couple
appeared at the ball. After dane
ing for some time ':greeny" saw
his partner sitting in one corner
of the room all alone. Now was
his chance, so he walked up to
where the lady was sitting and
sat down beside her. All we'll so
far, but the bashful fellow was at
a loss for something to say. He
fdgeted about considerably and
was sweating profusely. Finally
taking hold of his wilted collar,
he commenced the conversation
thus-"It is powerful warm in
this room. My shirts wet amt
yours ?" His partner blushed, said
nothing, but took his arm, for the
next dance.

ANOTHER SPEECH BY Mr.. DAVIS
Mr.. Jeferson.Davis paid visit
to Lennoxville, where his son is
sat college, last week, and was
received at the Sherbrooke Rail:
way station by a large crowd =, OF
people, who cheered him heartily
when the train arrived. Several
persons entered the car to explain
to him the object of the cheering,
when Mr. Davis presented himself
on the platform and was received
with another round of cheering;
on the subsiding Of which he re-
piled: ,.-~z .......-.
"Gentlemen, I thank you most
kindly for this hearty British re-
teeption, which I take as a mani
festation of your sympathy and
good will for one in misfortune.
It bespcaks the true instincts OF
your race. I trust you may ever
remain as free a people as you now
are, and that under the. union. OF
your provinces you will grow
great and prosperous as you arc
free. ] hope that you will hold
fast to your British principles and
that you may ever strive to culti-
yate a close and afectionate con-
nection with the mother country.
Gentlemen, again I thank YOU"
Mr.. Davis then retired within
car. Three cheors more and one
for Mrs. Davis were then given,
and the cars moved away toward
LennoxviIle, where lie and family
alighted and were again the recip-
tents of a hearty, reception from
the crowd awaiting him.-Toron-

STAMPING LETTERs.-The Char

the following:
An old negro woman, on Tues
day last, gave a letter to the mail
Eagentson the Carolina train at a
station near Br&nehville, and ask
ed him to send it for her. The
agent said the letter must be
stamped. The old woman became
indignant, said the darkics were
free and "whar were de use Of
freein de cullud pussons eff you
didn't free de letters too," and
finally yelled out How many
stamps he want, ch?" The mail
agent said "three!" Down went
the letter, and down went the old
woman's heel. Oar! Oar Oar !!
Dar's three stamps, dat enuff, eh?"
She was in angry earnest, and the
bystanders were amused accord
ingIy. The. agent saw the joke,
volunteered to pay the money
stamp, and thus doubly stamped
the letter was sent to its destina-
ton.
