NUMBER 48.
Mr. Greeiey's DrOllery.

One characteristic of the stories
told OF Nfr. Greeley is eertainly
striking. However absurd the hu-
NOR, however ridiculous the wit
may be, the droflery is always amia
bic and always clean. Nolow, coarse,
vulgar joke was ever put into his
mouth. All the numerous mistakes
and follIes attributed to him, how
ever dron aud laughable, are sueh
as can be repeated in any company
without a blush, When we recall
the stories attributed too and man
ufactured about other eminent men,
and compare them with the amusing
extraveganzas told about Mr., Gree
ley's address, chirography and agri-
cultural follies we catch a glimpse
of his moral superiority.
Think, for instance, of some Of the
stories Mr.. Lincoln used to tell and
laugh over with intense delight, and
compare them in moral tone with
the foibles imputed to Mr.. Greeley,
such as his soaking cucumber
seeds in vinegar in order to raise
crop Of pickles, and We see at
glance the real character ofthe Peo-
pies Candidate. Everybody knows
that nothing coarse and vulgar
would be il consonance with his
cha acfer, and the incongruity
would destroy the wit, The carica-
lures of Mr.. Greeley are compli
ments, for the features they exagger-
ate are amiable, and the peculiari-
ties they rest upon are virtues.

Young Blifkins, son Of old Biif-

refuge under the .portieo Of dwell
ling on Beacon street. A very at
tractive young lady-a pretty mai-
den-who sat BY the open window
seeing lis situation, sent out a SER
want to him with an umbrella -
Blifkins went away in ecstnsy; and
on the following day, having Attire,l
himself ia most elaborate and stun
ming array Of starch and jewels, lie
took the umbrella, which was an old
one and laid il away with his treas
ares OF conquest as a souvenir; and
then he went forth and purchased
an affair to replace il ef the most
beautiful and costly kind. Thus
equipped, he called upon the lads to
return her fEattering loan. She Rd-
mitted him to her Presenees and re-
ceiyed che umbrella without apparr
emily noticing the exchanges aaait
was not until she had listened with
becoming gravity to his highly drai
matte Acknowledgements that che
truth beamed upon her, She saw
that he labored under the snchant-
ing impression that she .hatI been
smitten by his appearance. .svA ve~s

Blif kins went homes and broke up
the old umbrella, and consigned It's
hated fragments to the ash barrel.
