By the way, my dear, has it ever occurred to you that I .shall be left a widower with three children ? I think lam a handsome man yet, my love,” and Joe walked over to the glass, passed his fingers through his hai; and pulled up his collar. Maria looked up, rather surprised. “ Tou see, my dear, it is rather a relief for you to go quietly, you know. It is so wearing on the nerves to bare a long ill ness , and besides, my dear, there wiTl he no funeral expenses, and that is quite a 'saving.” Mrs. Peters’ lip quivered,and her lar-ae blue eyes filled wit h tears.

Next morning, Mr. Peters met Fred in the street. “ Well old boy, how goes it ?” “ Fred,” was the reply, “ I am the hap piest man in the world ! I have regained my wife and domestic peace, and got rid of a busy, tattling old maid, who’ under pretence of loving my wife was everlast ingly interfering in our .household ar r.iugeim nts.” “Then Mrs. Peters will not ascend?” “No If Sarah is to be. my second wife, and step-mother fo my children, Mrs. P. has concluded that she won’t go !’ Very Old but Good Mr. Slang hud just married his second wife.

Mr Slang retreated Sunder the bed. In passing nder the bed cloths, Mr. Slang’s hat was brushed off. He remained there several minutes. At length his wife saw his head peering from under the bed like a toirtoise from its shell. “What are you looking for, Mr. Slang ?” •>ay she. “ 1 am looking, my dear, to see if I Can see anything of our hat.” The struggle was -over. And ever since Mr. Slang has avoided this odious singular possessive noun. An Unexpected Question. —At a village called “The Centre,”’ in the Northern part of Vermont, tne boys and girls, last month, • had a glorious dance and a gay time generally. A youth not having the fear of the bottle belure his’ eyes, managed to get decidedly in the fog upon this unwonted occasion, and slyly withdrew under tl>e bed of the ladies’ dressing room to recruit. Np sooner had he closed his eyes than a pair of humming damsels came in from the ball, and began adjusting their disordered ringlets. The girls had tongues, which ran in this wise : “ W hut a nice dance we’re having. Have you beard anybody say anything about me Jane ?” “ La, yes, Sally ! Jim Brown says he never saw you look so handsome as you do to night. Have you Beard anything about mo ? “ About you! why, sartin ; I heard Joe Flint tell Sdm Jones that you was the prettiest dressed girl in the room.” When upon the dear things chuckled, “ fixed up” a little more, and were starting off glibily for fresh gossip, when our half conscious friend raised him self upon his elbow, and quite intelligibly i hough slowly inquired, “ Ha’ you heard any bony, say anything about me, girls !” “ Phansy their pheelinks” at this junc ture.

He tivedwHh bis mother a widow woman, and abdut a year ago he took it into bis head that he ought not to eat anything but bread and water; he livid on that diet alone until about five nr six weeks ago, when he again took a notion that his hands were so dirty that be ought not to eat bread ;and water he would not drink only os he inspected it in the bucket as it came from the well ; and sometimes he would require that a number ol puilarul should be drawn before he would drink For forty-three days before his death he eat not a mouthful as his mother is positive. He would wash his hsipis frequently for an hour at a-time; whilst he lived on bread, he would require that his part should be baked by itself and then -he would break off and eat it, as he wanted it.
