' I'ite'ur r.ml Hatter, in. lie hopes to win hhusc'.i a name, By playing soon "a irre.a mat' U manic;" For him 'twill be the ure.ite-t fun To l.car ihe words "Live ' .ik h ive won.' ll.i-5U-b.ill!'

Arovwid the field he saw the light CM friendly faces beaming bright; JnEt by his head a ball has flown, Ar.d from hie lips escapes a groan, "Base-ball" n. "Now stop the game,' the old man said, "The 'second base1 has smashed his head. The 'pitcher,' too, has sprained his wrist, The 'umpire's' brain is in a mist." 'Base-ball!" Ills First Inn-lnxr. VII. "Oh, drop that ball!" the maiden said. 'And make a long 'home run' instead.' A "hot ball" hit him in the eye, Hut fctill he answered with a Mgh, "Base-ball !" VIII. "Beware! you'll soon be out on foul !"' This was the Holder's awful howl; But still re-echoed in his ear, In that deep voice, so thick and queer, 'Base-ball!' Ilia Ninth Inn-fog.

When eyes are lustrous, And locks arc clust'rotis, And teeth are pearly, and checks are pink, Oh, the limitless lot Of t'estatira! rot A fellow gets wriiing you'd scarcely think! AYhcn lips are smiling, And looks beguiling, When croquet's in i;ton. and moonlight walk May the critics pardon Nor Heaven be hard on The terrible nonsense a fellow talks! A TltOTTINO MATCH. At a certaiu splendid evening party a haughty young beauty turned to n student who stood near her and said: "Cousin .John, J understand your eccentric friend L is here. Do bring him here and in troduce him to me." The student went in search of his friend, and at length found him lounging on a sofa. 'Come, L '"' said he, "my beautiful cousin Catharine wishes to be introduced to you." "Well, trot her out, John," drawled L , with an affected yawn. John returned to his cousin and advised her to defer the introduction to a more favorable time, repeating the answer he had received. The beaut- bit her lip, but the next moment said: "Well, never fear, I shall insist ou being Introduced." After some delay L was led up and the ceremony of introduction was performed. Agreeably surprised by the beauty and com manding appearance of Catherine, L made a profound bow; but, instead of returning it, she stepped backwards, and, raising her glass, sur veyed him deliberately from head to foot; then, waving the bai k ol her hand towards him, drawled out: "Trot him oil, .John! trot him oil! That is enough. ' A young man having preached for Dr. Ed monds one day was anxious to get a word of approval for his labor of love. The grave Doe tor, however, did not introduce the subject, and his younger brother was obliged to bait the hook for him: "I hope, sir. I did not weary your people by the length of my sermon to-day." "No, sir, not a; all; nor by the depth either." The young man was silent. Said Lord John llusscll to Mr. Hume at a social dinner, "What do you consider the object of legislation r" "The greatest g ol to the j:reatcst number." 'What do you consider the greatest number:-'" continued his lord-hip. "Number one,' was the commoner's prompt r-l'b'- A Parisian editor pestered a prominent olli cial with offers of newspaper assistance. The minister endured it for some time, but finally replied: "My dear friend, you are mistaken. If geese did once save the capital, it was not with their quills." Ci'Hioi s. Is it not strange that when a ship wrecked sailor talks about his having been 'washed ou shore, lie seldom or never mentions what description of soap he found best adapted to his purpose? However, let s hope that some day or other we may be to (wel)l(e)d. An Irishman went to live in Scotland for a short time, but didn't like the country. I was sick all the time I was there," said he, 'and if I had lived there till this time I'd been dead a year ago." True Politeness. If you carve a turkey, and it should be tough, and slip off the dish through your awkwardness, and it falls Into a lady's lap, it is reckoned polite to make a bow, and say, "Please, ma'am, may I trouble you for that turkey again.-' "Nature has written 'honest man' on his face," said a man to Jerrold, speaking of a person in whom Jerrold's faith was not altogether blind. "Humph!" Jerrold i eplied; "then the pen must have been a very bad one." Elegant Cent. "Well, on consideration, I enppose 1 can allow you a couple of thousand per annum for pocket handkerchiefs; but be as easy as you can, my dear, on gloves. How will a hundred and fifty dollars per month do r" .mi oraior, who nan raised ins audience to a great height by las lofty soarings, exclaimed, "I will now close in the beautiful and expres sive language 01 uie poet l lorget Ms name and and 1 forget w hat he said too." A traveller breakfasting ut an Arkansas hotel requested the waiter to take his cup of coffee out into the yard and pump some of the water out of it. 1 John! John! shouted an old gentleman tto his sou, "get up; the sun h up before you." "Very well, said John; "h has further to go than we have." Too Tiu e. is many marriages, by their un happy terminations, would seem to have been planned by Satan, they may bo looked upon in the light of 'Luciftr-utaMti-s ! The fellow who slept under tho "cover of night" complains that he eamo very near freez ing. The minister who boasted of preaching with out, notes, uittn t mean to no understood as re ferring to greenbacks. Quilp suggests hair-pina as tho only sure pre ventive of hair falling off.
