The CREATION OF WoMAN.-A Prince
once said to Rabbi Gamaliel: your God
is a thief; he surprised Adam in his sleep,
and stole rib from him.
The Rabbits daughter overheard the
speech and whispered a word or two in her
fathers car, asking his permission to an
swer this singular opinion herself He gave
his consent
The girl stepped forward, and, feigning
terror and dismay, threw her arms aloft in
supplication and cried OUT, My liege, MY
liege Justice Revengep
What has happened 7? asked the Prince
"a wicked theft has taken place. she re-
piled. a robber has crept secretly into
our house, carried away silver goblet, and
left a gold one in its stead
'What an upright thief ? exclaimed the
Prince. Would that such robberies were
of more frequent occurrence
Behold, then, sire, the kind of thief that
our, NLeator was: He stole rib from A
dam, and gave beautiful wife instead =
well said y avowed the Prince.

Es Some years since, at the West End,
resided woman of mammoth proportions
known as the Great Western. She was
vulgar minded, abusive, aud had so violent
a temper that even the police, who had to
look after her once in while, rather dread
ed the task of arrestiDg her. In her sec
ton of the city, but entirely unacquauted
with the woman or her nickname, lived the
Rev. DR.. s., good man, and one who
would scorn to joke on any subject. One
morning the reverend gentleman was in an
apothecary store looking over paper, when
who should enter but the Great Western
DESTROYS of obtaining some medicine.
Some one asked DIR. s. if there was
any news, as he seemed absorbed in the
paper
ANrws,S -said the doctor, without looking
up, mo, there is no news. Yes there Is,
though. am happy to inform you that
the Great Western has arrived, meaning
the steamship that had long been overdue
The Great Western has arrived, has
she 2 Numbered the indignant woman,
turning on the little doctor like tigress,
well, you just kiss the Great Western's
foot blast you !
The reverend gentleman left the store in
a thoughtful frame of mind.
