SENSIBLE TO THE LAsr-It has lorg been
observed by medical writers that death is
frequently preceded by insanity, fact
which has occasioned the remark that it
was not astonishing for everybody knew
that when folks get madder, they were
about to Gle. This reminds US of case
which occurred many years ago in Phila-
delphia court, wherein pretty young wild
ow was in danger of losing two-shirds OF
her husbands estate-his relatives groun
ding their claim on the alleged insanity of
the defunct. 1t nay be as well to premise
that the presiding Judge was not only con-
vival, but also very gallant.
"What were your husbands last words ?"
inquired the attorney.
The pretty widow blushed, and looking
down replied, "I' d rather not tell"
"But, indeed, you must ma'am. Your
claim may be decided by it.
Still bushing, the widow declined to
tell. At last direct appeal from the
bench elicted the information.
"He said, kiss me, Polly, and open that
other bottle of champagne.
We know not whetherit was admiration
for the deceased husband or the living wife
that inspired the judge at this instant, but
he at once cried with all the enthusiasm
of conviction.-"Sensible to the last

Betting on Babies.

The editor of the Columbia Pennsyl-
vania) Spy, relates the following pleasant
incident:
Last week, two prominent and infuen-
tial business men of Columbia, got into
conversation on the comparative merits of
their babies, each one saving that he had
the best baby, and the conversation wax
ed warm on this point The matter was
finally left to the three disinterested per-
sons, and the decision was to be given at
an oyster supper, the party whom the COM
mlttee decided against paying forthe same.
1t is well enough to state here that one
was male and the other q female. The
babies were each duly examined by the
committee. Their Smelly drawn features,
capacity for milk and Winslow's syrup,
good looks. weights, health, lungs, good
ness, and gentle qualities, and the number
of sleepless nights they had caused their
tathers-all these were inquired into and
taken into consideration by the committee
chosen for the purpose-one of them a
gray haired veteran, who had reared and
dangled on his knees many baby, declar-
ed that he was a good judge and rather
liked his mission. After all this had been
gone through with, nothing was now lett
but to partake of the supper, which was
prepared by mine host, Black, of the
Washington House, on Monday evening
last and such a supper-oysters in every
conceivable style, with all necessary &C.
compartments. After full justice had been
done to the elegant Banquet, the committee
made the following report:
"We, the undersigned, having been ap-
poninted to examine and report on the
first fruit of Mr.. and wife, and the
last fruit of Mr. and wife, would re-
speetfuffy report that, after examining the
babies of the respective parties the COM
mittee are of the unanimous opinion that
Mr.. - and wife, have the finest male
child, and that Mr.. and wife have
the finest female child. The committee
are, therefore, of the opinion that Messrs.
- and - shall bear all equal pro
portion of the expenses of this great bsD-
quet, &C., g., as both parties have done
admirably, and the committee hope that
they will continue their efforts, and carry
outthe scriptural injunction to increase and
multiply"
[Signed by the Committee.
