AN ABSURD CUsTOM.-Shortly after the ac-
cesson of James the First, when Scotch gen
tlemen were beginning to feel at home in Lon
don, Lord Hardwood gave dinner party, to
which wereinvited large number Of cOurtiers,
and officers both civil and military. After the
bottle had circulated a few times, General
S, an English trooper and reckless bon
rirdnt, arose and said:
"Gentlemen, when am in my cups, and
the generous wine begins to warm my blood,
| have an absurd custom of railing against the
Scotch. Knowing my weakness, | hope no
gentlemen in the company will take it amiss y
He sat down, and a Highland chief, Sir
Robert Bleakie, of Blair Atholl, presenting a
front like an old battle-worn tower, quietly re-
marked:
"Gentlemcn, l, when am in my cups. and
the generous wine begins to warm my blood,
if | hear a mad rail against the Scotch, have
an absurd custom Of kicking him at once out
of the company. Knowing my weakness,
hope no gentlemen will take it ami>s.
1t may be needless to add that General
$ did not on that occasion suffer himself
to follow his usual custom.

to have changed his mind, for one morning he
caught me in the parlor.

There was something in his voice which
made me stOp-made me turn-made me gaze
into his handsome face for the first time with
strange interest. In after years the memory
of that moment came back to me and always

THE FIRST KIss.-The Rev. John Brown.
says the Dayton Religious Telescope, courted
lady upwards of six years, and was so singu-
lary modest and bashful that he had never
ventured to kiss her. One day it occurred to
him that 1t would not be bad thing to do.
SO it is recorded, he said:
Janet, my woman, we've been acquainted
now for six years, -and-Tve never got a
kiss yet. Dye think may take one, my bon
ME lass?'
The reply was wonderfully characteristic of
the Scottish maiden:

cial favor of the Minister Of War this foreigner

A back woods Congressman from Tennessee

rules of the House forbade the use of unpar-

kaowedges no moral restraint beyond the

TOPOGRAPHIC BLUNDERs There is no
funnier reading in the world than some of the
printers blunders that go the rounds Of the

A printer in Syracuse, sitting up book ad

The London Court Journal once in describ-
ing wedding in high lie, said that the bride
was accompanied to the altar by tight brides

A Providence paper once announced that
Rev. Dr. Wayland, president of Brown Uni

mable lady, said that the bereaved husband

A gay Tennessee belle had gained the repu-
the period. She kept her lover in state Of
despair, having refused him many times. She
was esteemed faithless and frivolous but the
time soon came for her to redeem her charac-

cident, and the rejected lover had both legs
crushed of. The apparently heartlcss girl de-
voted herself TO his consolation, and married
him on crutches the first day the doctors allow

A German living in Ohio, after three
years residence in this country, recently re-

that, if he wants to save his estate, he must 60.

full consolation that he has not had to become

green apples that would have been worth q
dollar buShel when they got ripe!'
Smyrna times., 1871-05-03

INJURED. D.-Wm. Smith of West Bradford,
Chester County, Pa, was attacked by n game
chicken few days ago, and so badly spurred
about the knee as to render him unable to walk
the next day. The Record suggests that q
potpie should be made of that biddy.
