ANECDoTE OF FINN THE AcrOR.-Finn
was once . witness for the prosecution
in case before the Court of Common
Pleas, in Boston, and his testimony was
so direct and conclusive. that the coun-
sci for the defense thought it necessary
to discredit him. The following dia-
logue ensued:
''Mr. Finn. you live in Street
do you not ?"
"Yes, / DO"
"You have lived there great while ?"
"Several years."
"Does not female live there under
your protection ?"
"There does"
''Does she bear your name?"
"She is certainly known in the neigh |
borhood by the name of Mrs. Finn"
"Is she your wife 2"
'NO, We we're never legally married"
THAT will do, sir have no more to
ask"
"But have something more to an
swer, sir" replied Finn with spirit. |
''The Mrs. Finn of whom you have
been pleased to speak with such levity, |
is my mother and know but one man
base enough to breathe aught against
her. You, sir, can guess who he is. |
True, she is under my protection. She
protected me through my infancy and
childhood, and it is paying but small
part owe her, to do as much for her |
old age"
The baffisd lawyer had not another
word to say.
A GRAND PUFF.-The puff indirect |
has been given for a celebrated jewellef, |
short time since, in French journal,
in the following words "The fashion |
of the day is to have limitations of in
sects, in colored enamel, upon jewellery. |
NJ. Moreau SO thoroughly succeeded in
initiating a fly, for some studs. that a
spider, the other day, descended from |
its web and caught the Ay-stud up,
taking it into its domicile, and trying |
to get something succulent out OF it. |
Happily, it was seen by servant, or
there would have been a second edition
of the maid and the magpie when the
master of the house returned home"
MAX ADELER says: 81 see in some |
of the papers that Prince Demetrius |
Tschawtschawadze has been arrested in |
Moscow for swindling. L feel no par
iicular interest in the Prince, and am
Indifferent to his antecedents, but as a
matter OF mere curiosity really would |
name on his shirts by beginning at the |
lower end and working up TO the collar, |
or whether he ran it cat-a-cornered |
across the back. Imagine such name
on an umbrella handle. 1t would hang |
over the ferule.
GIVING HAPPINEss.-To give happi- |
ness, it is said, is God-like but there |
are different ways OF giving it. We
presume few would choose it as il is |
said once to have been administered by |
a captain in the navy, who, on meeting |
friend as he landed, boasted that he |
had left his whole ships company the
hsppiest fellows in the world. "How
so ?" asked his friend. "Why, 1 have
Just hOgged seventeen, and they are
happy it is over and all the rest are
happy that they have escaped ?"
Az ERRISa husband, who had ex-
hausted all explanation of late hours,
and had no apology ready, recently
slipped into the house about one
O'Clock, very softly, undressed himself
gently, and began rocking the cradle by
the bedside, as if he had been awakened
out of sound sleep by infantile cries.
He had rocked away for five minutes,
when Mary Jane, who had observed the
whole maneuvre, said, "Come to bed,
you fool, you the baby amt there T.
