Mr.. Weiss Last Lecture.
PETROLEUM v. NAsBY,
(Wich wuz Postmaster.

You recollect in the life of Abraham
Lincoln the story of the Western lawyer
who said he never could tell story with
embezzlements 1 have heard of stout,
cheerful, and polite Dogberry who had
arrived at the discretion of fifty years,
when his parents died. Then in reply to
some friend, he said 81 am poor orphan
less man" This same person remarked
of his nephew that 'he had not decided
yet, but he was preponderating. There
was a worthy old deacon of the olden
time who was repeating Watts hymn,
line for line, and read its'ye rancied sin
ners, come" Dogberry would have said
they ought to be damned into everlasting
redemption. When the Boston fire was
stopped at the new Postoffiee, an uninish-
ed. building, man standing near was
heard to remark: well / am glad they
have got that fire under headway at last. !"
Another man said: ''If man should
draw pistol on me, do you think
would put my knife in his jeopardy A
venerable clergyman, when he found an
inebriated person in the gutter said to
him: MY friend, how did you get there2'
The man, with just a twinkle of jest, said
Notwithstanding" This amused the
clergyman, and he went home and tried
to impart it to the wife of his bosom.
He said to me, nevertheless.
