d. In the hurry and excitement of gold

men bad rather scant wardrobes, and
were somewhat indifferent about clean
illness ..iperson, Naturally such a
state Of things generated an animated
life that was not consistent with Bodily
comfort. When these tenants or seams
and collar bones became too numerous,
our pioneer would disrobe himself, and,
stretching his garments over the castles
ofthe great red ant that abound ia that
section Of the country, patiently wait
the result. An army of the red war

Repartee.

There are some persons who seem ITO
be endowed with an electric currentlof
wit, which sparkles and flashes when
it meets an opposing one; and q ready
wit, or the faculty of making quick and
spicy repartees is valuable gift, and
the source of much pleasure, provided
it is used with due regard to the feel
ings of othersga A man of genuine wit
and ihuniur may attach TO himself
many warm and devoted friends; hut
sarcastic, cynical person is always an
uncomfortable companion. SidHhJ
% 1t Is related, that, as some friends lOf
Campbell, theauthor of Hoheniinden,
were leaving his room after late sup
per, one of the number had the misfor-
tune to fall down a long flight of stairs.
The poet, alarmed by the noise, open ed
the door, and inquired, WHATS thatp''
",Tis 1, SIR, rolling rapidly" was, the
immediate reply Of his fallen friend.
Sheridan remarked, in parliamentary
language, on entering q rowde6 COM
mitfee room, "Will some member
move that 1 may take the chair?" Two
friends meeting, one eremarked, "1haye

A physician WHO was attending COL

to him one morning for coming 90 late,
saying that he was suddenly called to
see q man who bad fallen into q well.
"Did he kick the bucket, doctor? 2" was
Colman's trite response; i..ll 81 =. - .a,,,
A poet asked q friend what, he
thought Of. his last production, T." "An
Ode on Sleepsn The latter, replied,
Z" You have done such justice 70 the sub
feet, that 1t Is impossiblel to read it
without feeling It's whole weight"
The coIored race are not to be Sutdone
in shrewdness of retort. "A little cabin
boy on board a. ship, the captain OF
which was religious man, was called
up to be fiogged for some misdemeanor.
Little Jack appeared before the captain
weeping bitterly, and falling upon his
knees, he cried, "Pray sir, will you
wait till I have said my prayers ?''
Certainly Iwill,r replied the captain.
"Weil, then" said Jack, looking up

A happy and graceful play upon
words was once made by our own poet
Longworth. A Mr.. Longworth, loi

attracts men of sense 1t is the true
loveliness of your nature that wins and
continues to retain, the affection of the
heart. Young ladies miss it who labor
to improve the outward looks, while
they bestow not a thought on their
minds. Fools may be won by gew-
gaws and fashionable, snowy dresses,
but the wise and substantial are never
caught i'm such traps. Let modesty be
