HUMOROUS.
An Awkward Mistake.

We have heard an anecdote which has
probably not appeared in print BEFORE and
which has been told us as piece of genuine
history. 1t happened in large city-never
mind what city. There were two pretty sis
tiers who had married, one an eminent lawyer,
the other distinguished literary man. Lit
erary man dies, and leaves younger sister a
widow.
Some years roll away, and the widow lays
aside her weeds. Now, then, it happens that
n certain author and critic has occasion, on a
broiling day in summer, to call on the emil
nent lawyer, husband of the elder sister. He
finds the lawyer pleading and sweltering in
crowded court, sees that the lawyer is suffer-
irg dreadfully from the heat. pities him, re-
ioices that he himself is not a lawyer, and
goes for cool saunter under the sheltering
trees of fashionable park and garden.
Among the ice eating, tanning crowd there
he meets the younger of our two sisters, and
for the moment he thinks he is speaking to
the elder.
"Oh, Mr.. -" answered the lady, chow
dreadfully hot it is here!"
ayes, Madam" replies our luckless critic,
"it is hot here; but can assure you the heat
of this place isn't circumstance, when COM
pared with the heat of the place where your
poor dear husband is suffering today"
A horror-stricken expression comes over
the face of the lady; she rises from her chair
and founces Indignantly away. And "Me
miserable" soliloquzes our wrctched critic,
Il have been mistaking the one sister for the
other, and she thinks I meant to say that her
husband is-not in Heaven

An Irishman, being invited by deacon to
accompany him to church, complied with great
alacrity. His pious friend seated Pat in his
pew, and with piOus visage and austere aspect,
awaited the commencement of the services
Pat looked about him, and observing none of
the paraphernaia belonging to his peculiar
mode of worship, whispered inquiringly of the
deacon:

he addressed the minister:
