A few evenings since John Stutgood
was paying court to his Dulcinea.
She had smuggled him into the parlor
and the darkness only served to con-
ceal her blushes while John told the
story of his love. The muttered words
reached the parental ear, and coming
into the room suddenly he demanded
to know of Mary who it was she had
with her.
"It's the cat sir" was the mumbled
reply.

patre familias. ..-.l
'Seat!n screamed Mary; and then;
soto voce, "John, meaow little.
John sat up woful yowl.
"That cats gotta cold," remarked
the praent.
John yowled louder than ever.
"Confound it, bring a light, and
scare the thing out"
This was too much and John made
leap for the window, carrying glass
and frame with him.
"This was too much, tohdt cat %
said the parent, contemplating the
ruin after the light was brought (; "I

Mr.. GreeIey's new Friends.

We have a practical joker here, one
Mr., Jee Somers, a sporting man, orig
inally from Baltimore. SOmers is edu-
Gated and dresses fashionably, and one
on looking at him would believe him
to be gambler. When Mr.. Greeley
jumped from the hack, Joe met him
at the hotel and extended his hand,
saying, ssHow do you do, Mr.. Gree
ley? I am very happy to extend the
right hand of fellowship to SO renown-
ed gentleman as YOURSELF and as
one of the citizens ofthis great metrop-
oils of the South, ext end to you, sir,
the freedom Of our city, and the hon
est good will of our fellow-citiZens.
Sir, allow me to introduce to your no
tice two gentleman, Col. Starr, of Mis-
sissippi, and Mr.. VIM. johnson, one of
our leading bankers" Starr and John
son are both gamblers, and the sudden
introduction almost unnamed them,
and they slid out of sight as soon as pcs
sible. Of course Mr.: Greeley did not
understand the joke but the loOkers-on
did, and enjoyed it hugely. e,1-
