1Tfem1s Wards Unconscious Joke.

The following story is told of Artemus
Ward: When he was a boy he was fond
Of playing cards, an amusement he was
Obliged to indulge in surreptitiously, as
his good mother did not approve of it.
One day as he was deep in q game, sup
posing his mother was absent, he heard
some one approaching the door and i'm
mediately gathered up the cards and
thrust them into the pocket of a coat
hanging against the wall, which he sup
posed to be his own. A dreadful mis-
take on his part, for it belonged to the
minister, who was staying there for a
while. The next Sunday there was a
baptism in the lake at which this min
lister oficiated in the same coat As he
entered the pond, the water bore up the
skirts OF the coat, reversed the pockets
and the entire pack of cards foated out
and covered the water for quite space,
much to the horror of all good people
present, and the confusion of the I'M
fortunate divine, who saw himself
wading through an array Of jacks, kings
and aces, dreadful to contemplate. 1t
is said that the youthful Artemus, " ho
was Immediately suspected, was treated
to the punishment which his esclpade
deserved from the hand Of his maternal
relative.-BoStO11 Journal
