Ei!S(oi al Tekfcme. The Bishop of New
York has been much pleased with his visit to
Old England. Specially has he been delighted
Vith his brother hierarcha. Oue piece of in
formation which the good Bishop give3 will
le iritereptiug to most persons: "He had
visited the palaces of Eeveral of the Bishops,
and the atmosphere which prevailed at these
Messed places was such as to cause a glow of
happiness to take possession of one's soul."
Will any of Mr. Punch's Episcopal friendd
'(he has many) inform him how this blessed
atmosphere is generated, and where the mate
rial can be procured, and whether the same
result can be obtained in a secular mansion ?
The "savor of such good ointments" would be
worth cultivating. It must be a much nicer
thing than the odor of sanctity, which Popish
saints prepare by masterly inaction in the
matter of Balvation. Would MM. Plesae and
Lutiin, or ;M. Rimmel call upon one or two of
the bishops and investigate f We prediot great
popularity for Bouquet da Bishop.
Jv'ot Said at the Stkoi. The Bishop of
Gregory said a good thing recently. An enthu
siastically Ritualistic young lady showed him
a charming photograph of a group of hand
some young curates decked out in all the
lovely church millinery of sentimental schism.
"Those are Anglicans," she said. "No," said
his Lordship, smiling; "but I may say that
though non Angli, they whould be Angcli si
I beg pardon for Latin, my dear if they ware

Militaht Intelligence. It is with satisfac
tion that we announce that the Rifled Popgun
is about to be placed in the hands of the In
fantry. As an arm of precision, this breach
loader will, no doubt, be a great improvement
on the noisy but ineffective weapon hitherto
employed in the Nurseries of British Valor.

NOT FOR JOKER.
Said Tom Brown to Jones, "It is really worth
while '
In these Bhare9 to invest come, take six;
The company means to dredge mud from the
Nile,
And make of it excellent bricks."
"No, no," answered Jones, "I'm not quite a
fool, '
Though I do not set tip for a wit;
But I capnot forget that I learnt when at
school, .
Ex nihil, 0 Tom, nihil fit,"
QoerT.A piece at one of the theatres is
extensively advertised as follows: Man is not
perfect, nor woman neither. If two negatives
make a positive, the grammar here is not per
fect. We suggest a change nor woman either.
It may, however, be a delicate compliment to
the sex.
"Oh ! what A Fall was there, my Couxtry

child that tumbles from the top landing to the
bottom one, and a traveller visiting Niagara ?
One falls down the stairs, and the other stares
down the Falls.

"Down't." No wonder a youth gets
"chaffed" when his whiskers are just begin

Cut and Shave. A Bavarian journal, the
Gazelle de Ketnpteu, announces its intention to
publish daily a bulletin den mensonges, in which
the canards of the day will be kept distinct
from the authentio news. It would be well if
our English papers would take the hint, and
have the sub-editorial department thus di
vided under the right heads, though it might
not be always easy to keep the canards to their

The boy held on to the greasy "deck,"
Whence all but him had lied;
The lump threw its light on his last red check,
And he hadn't another "red."
Yet beautiful and bright he sat,
A 8 born to win or lose;
With the ace of trumps hid under his hat,
And a "bower" or two in his clothes.
The game went on he would not "go"
Y itliout bis lather's word;
That father, drunk on the floor below,
Ilia voice no longer heard. ' '' .
He called aloud "Say, daddy, say
lliiln't I Ittr 'no it alone V " .
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.
"Speak, father !" once again he cried,
"I'm playing my best for even
"And" but the man on the other side
"Ordered him np on the seven."
His countenance fell when his ear caught that,
isut it wasn't a time to grieve;
So he played him the aoe from under his hat,
And the "right bower" out of his sleeve.
And he shouted loud once more at last,
"My father 1 must I stay r '
While o'er the table, thick and fast,
Ihe lluttering "pasteboards" play.
The tallow-dip burned fitfully wild
And ihekered np on high,
And gleamed in the face of the gallant child,
And nearly blinded his eye.
It flickered up and flickered down,
And at last disappeared in the socket;
And the man at the table, who "hailed frm
town,"
Slipped all of the stakes in his pocket.
And then with a burst of thunder sound,
He kicked over table and chairs,
And cleared the door with a single bound,
And slid down the bannister stairs.
NATURAL IIlSTuRYOF BABIES.
IIat.ies are the passive Items of humanity
w no bo through life wearing a mental bib and
tucker.
The Hoy-Baby is a painfully bashful young
man, to whom nature, for wisa purposes no
doubt, bas denied the fuculty of self-assertion
tbat pertains to masculines, He Is generally a
tall, slender young man, who has the appear
ance of being drawn out, like a telescope, to
the utmost limits that his constitution will
allow. His feeble heart does not seem to have
the power to pump the vital lluld to his far dis
tant head, and consequently he is of that pallid
completion which Is popularly supposed to
denote consumption, except wnen a pretty girl
talks to him, and then the vital organ that
drums delirium In bis narrow chest sends a few
drops of the carnallou tint to the end of his
contemplative nose. When the B. B. enters a
room iu which there Is company, be looks as It
hall aazed with the bright glances of the la
dle?, and slinks hastily away to a seat la the
Ltrttiest corner, where he can be out of reach
of the surveillance of bright eyes. If the B.
B. visits a place of amusement, It Is In
the company of his sisters or bis mother,
or with some female relative, whose con
sanguinity forbids the idea of gallantry. The
B. B. never gets Into the scrapes that seem a
Lecesnity with young men of his age. If any
practical Joke is proposed, or any little esca
pade Is planned, by bis companions, he has a
xiever-failing excuse to go home, so as to be out
of the way of mischief. At his tongue's end be
bos a set of first-class axioms that with him
stand In the place of discretion and Judgment,
ana oy inese is ne guinea wnen any oi moss
little ebullitions of wlldness tbat effervesce
from the masculinity of virile young men
threaten to bubble up In uproarious action.
The B. B. is a goody Individual, If goodness
eoufcibU in doing little that is wrong, and doing
not much more that Is right. lie never lets
slip an oath, or even lndulees In one of those
good substitutes for profane swearing that are
more vigorous than their principals: he never
smokes, nor drinks, nor lllrts, nor nbs, nor asks
fur a latch-key nor stays out at church
till past midnight not because he is
nulnfuilv convinced of tbo hldeousness or
moralobliquities, butslmply because he has not
been weaned by the lrrepresslbilitles of man
hood from the dependencies of childhood, and
harms to ihe moralities of the apron-string be
cause he has not as yet attained courage to
toddle from home restraints. The B. B. is a
thorn in the aides of masculine, self-asserting
young men; for he is often cited as an example
of preternatural virtue, as a specimen of the
brick of which paradise Is built, and as an em
bodiment oi an me gooa-Doy virtues. XQ re tit na
tion, his compeers call him a spooney, a lick
spittle, and other depreciating diminutives.
A little while and nature will assert her power,
or perish In the attempt. The B. B. will die of
sheer Inanity or- become that compound of
tiery desires, a man; then farewell bib and
tucker, good-to your-moiherness, good, boy
book maxims, and pntent noble examples.

ency to remuin In the same position of life in
which he is placed by circumstances. If he be
a cletk, others pass him in remuneration and
nrmition; if he be ft merchant, his business

him b( coming wealthy through their enter
prise and tact; but he learns nothing from the
it eson. ami though by nonieuuH unambitious,
does not better himself. The B. li. never makes
a hard bargain; but Is often victimized by those
who re aoiuuinted with his lndolency of men
talitv. When his neighbors are In peounlary
trouble, they are in the hublt of applying for
iinin to the B. B.. who seldom can muster
coui ate enough to say no; but when he is In a
similar predicament, he Is not able to demand a
return or lavors, out asas mr um m ucu u
hesitntlng. bungling way, that he Is almost In
stantly refused. The B. B. Is generally well
spoken of. Like most amiable, ludoleut poo
pie, he has many friends In words; and when
he sinks to linpecuniohily, he finds hundreds
to pity him, but not oue to otler him assistance-
to alter the old blasphemous maxim,
men are inciiueu to ueip iuuoo wuij nuu uoii
