Mr.. TowMBLEY's MISTAKE. - Mr..
Thomas Towmbley had drunk bnt six
glasses of brandy and water, when being
man of discretion, he returned home at
the seasonable hour of o'clock, and went
soberly to bed.
Mrs. Thomas Towmbley was too we'll
accustomed to the comings and goings of
said Thomas to be much disturbed by the
trihing noise he made on retiring; but
when she discovered that he had his boots
on, she requested him to remove them or
keep his feet out of bed.
"My DEAR" said Mr.. Towmbley in an
apologetic tone, 'sSkuse me. How came
to forget the boots 1 cannot conceive, for
Pm just as sober as ever was in my life" I"
Mr.. Towmbley sat on the side of the
bed and made an effort to pull off the
right boot. The attempt was successful,
though it brought him to the floor. On
regaining his feet, Mr.. Towmbley thought
he saw the door open. As he was sure he
shut the door on coming in, he was aston
ishcd, and dark as it was in the room, he
could not be mistaken, he felt certain.
Mr.. Towmbley staggered to the door to
close it, when to his great surprise, he saw
a figure approaching from beyond. Town
bley stopped; the figure stopped. Town.
bley advanced again, and the figure did
the same. Towmbley raised his right hand
and the figure raised his left.
"Who's there 2" roared Towmbley, be-
ginning to be frightened. The object
made no reply. Towmbley raised his
boot in menacing attitude-the figure
defed him by shaking similar object.
'By the Lori" cried Towmbley, "Pl
find out who you are, you sneakin cuss ?
He hurled the boot full at the head of hi
mysterious object, when, crash! went th'
looking-glass, which Towmbley had mis-
taken for the door.

LOVERS QUARRELs;

Well, let him 60, and let him stay,
do not mean to die,
guess he'll find that can live
Without him, if try;
He thought to frighten me with frowns
So terrible and black q.
He'll stay away thousand years
Before call him back. r4f
He said that had acted wrong Eil
And foolishly beside, .-.t.
won't forgive him after that
Il wouldn't if died.
If | was wrong, what right had he =
To be 80 cross to me
know Pm not an angel quite tusn
don't pretend to be.
He had another sweetheart once
And now when we fall out,
He always says she was not cross,
And that she did not pout.
II is enough to vex saint
It's more than can bear
wish that other girl of his
Was-well, don't care where.
He thinks that she is pretty, tGo,
As beautiful as good,
wonder if she'd get him back,
Again, now, if she could;
know she would, and there she is
She lives almost in sight; --tr
And now it's after nine o'clock,
Perhaps he's there tonight.
I'd almost write to him 10 come
But then I've said / won't .#
do not care so much, but she .,--.
Shan't have him, if l don't;
Besides, know that | was wrong,
And he was in the right;
Think I'd better tell him So
wish he'd come to night.
