One nlSnC agnes gave large party.
It was her twenty sixth birthday, and she
laughingly told her friends that it was
the inaugural ball of her old-maidhood,
and she meant it to be success And a
success it was. Fanny and Percy were
there, and so was Harry Morton.
Just before supper Agnes came across
some gentleman in the shadows of the de-
serted drawing-room, and, tapping him on
the shoulder, she playfully said: s'And
whom do find playing the wall fower?"
She started back ere the words were
finished, tor the gentleman turned face
of unutterable agony towards her, and
she saw that it was Harry Morton.

1t was three o'clock before the last

Unearthly Visitors.

Colley Cibber, the dramatist, in com
pany with three friends, once made an
excursion. Cibber had false set of
teeth; one of his friends, glass eye; a Sc
cond friend, a cork leg; but the third
friend had nothing particular, except re-
markable way Of shaking his head.
They travelled in post coach; and
while at the first stage, after each had
made merry with his neighbours infirmity,
they agreed that at every hating place
they would all affect the same singularitv.
When they came to breakfast, they all
squinted; and as the people stood gaping
around when they alighted-
Cor rot it. cried one, chow that man
squints!"
"Why," said second, "here be another
squirting fellow!''
The third was thought to be better
squintcr than the other two, and the
fourth better than all the rest. In short,
language cannot express how admirably
they all squinted, for they went one de-
gree beyond the super,ative
At dinner they appeared to have cork
legs; and their stamping about made
more diversion than at breakfast.
At tea they were all deaf; but at sup
per, which was at the "ship" at Dover,
each man resumed his character, the bet
ter to play his part in farce they had
concerted among them.
When they were ready to 90 to bed,
Cibber called out to the waiter:
sHere, fellow" take out my teeth"
'Teeth, STRIP said the man.
cay, teeth, sir. Unscrew that wire and
they'll all come out together"
After some hesitation the man did as
he was ordered. Then another called
out:
''Hear, you, take out my eye!''
"What, sir" said the waiter; s'your
eye?"
Yes, my eye. Come here, you stupid
fellow! Pull up the eyelid, and it will
come out as easily as possible"
This done, the third cried out:
Here, you rascal, take off my leg!"
This the waiter did with less reluct.
ance, having been before appraised that il
was cork, and also ccnceiving that il
would DO his last job.
He was, however, mistaken.
The fourth watched his opportunity
and while the frightened waiter was sur
veying with rueful countenance the eyt
teeth and leg lying on the table, cried on,
in frighttul hollow voice:
"Come here, sir take off my head 7
Turning around and seeing the mans
head shaking like that of mandarin
ugon chimney piece, he darted out O.
the room, and tu.nbling heaalong dowr
stairs, he ran about the house asserting
that the gentlemen above stair were Ger
