The New Orleans Crescent tells

= The New Orleans Crescent tells a
good story of rapid youth in Washing
ton, who, finding on New Years Day, tile
hacks engaged, or beyond his conscience,
hired hearsc, and drove around until the
potations proved too much, and he was con-
siderately showed inside and carted home.
Being wealthy youth from Baltimore, OF
fine family, this was considered a good
Joke. The effect some times was ludicrous
People driving up and arriving on foot at
the house of an official, and seeing a hearse
at the door attended by number OF hacks,
with solemn, assininc hackmen, sitting
gravcly thereon, would jump to the con,
clusion that funeral was on hand, and
hurry away Disconnected.
- An editor OF paper informed his
readers that the ladies always pull otf the
left stocking last. This, as may be sup
posed, created some stir among his fair
readers, and while in positive terms denied
tho statement, they insisted that he had
no business to know it, even if such were
the fact, and pronounced him no gentle
man. lie proves it, however, by short
argument: "When one stocking is pulled
off, there is another left on pulling off this
is taking off the left stocking last
- An item has been going tho rounds
which says that marriage has been ar
ranged between the Prince of Asturlas
and the daughter of the Duke de Madrid
The Prince is very young and his bride
elect is not We, born" The Boston Post
thinks IT, would be sad to imagine the
blight of young affection in case she should
happen to be a boy.
"A wandering Yankee who had put
up for the night at hotel in Western
border town, on entering the bar-room
next morning, found the landlord sweep
ing up what he supposed to be grapes.
He said to him, "You have pretty large
grapes out here. :" "Grapes!" said the land
lord "them's eyes that were gouged out
here last night"
= An old fellow of the ultra inquisitive
order, asked little girl on board the train,
who was sitting by her mother, as to her
name, destination, etc. After learning
she was going to Philadelphia, he asked,
"What motive is taking you thlthcr, my
dsar?' 81 believe they call it the Loco
motive, sir, was the innocent reply.
- 1t is a blessed thing for poor man
to have contented, loving wife-one
who will not wish to live in style beyond
her husbands income, just because her
next door neighbor does-ope who can be
happy in the love of her husband, her
home and its duties, without asking the
world for its smiles or its favor.
"If you had eighty years to live, how
would yon spend it so as to be perfectly
happy here below p asks French writer,
and answers it himself. "The first thirty
years as a pretty woman, thirty more as
great general, and the rest as a bishop"
"A country paper in noticing the death
of a worthy citizen, says: Gas neigh
Dor no was kind, as miller upright. His
virtues were beyond all price, and his
flour was always sold at ten per cent ad-
vance"
Every young man should remember
that the world always honors industry.
The vulgar and useless idler, whose ener'
ges of body and mind are rasting for
want of occupation, may look OH him with
scorn-it is praise; his contempt is honor.
If a seaman should turn back every
time he encounters 4 headwind, he would
never make voyage. So lie who permits
himself to be bailled by adverse circum,
stances will never make Roadway in the
voyage of life.
: All mankind are happier for having
been happy; SO that You make them hap
py now, you make them happy twenty
wears hence by the memory OF 1t.
