“I love yon, I adore you ;
But Pit) talking in tny sleep."
Some folks are iri the habit of talking in their i
sleep, and Miss Betsey Wilson'was of that ■
prober. This, peculiarity she' accidently ro- 1
yca)cd to Jcdiab Jenkins, in a careless conversan 1
llonal way. .’Jqdioh hndjuat finished the ro r
dial of a matrimortial I 'dream, in which, the

roine, he having invented thc sanie, for the sake
oX saying at the conclusion that it' vt-as ‘Hoo

parables, assuring the domsalof what hedared

"I never drearrisaid’Betsey, ’but I somc
timea'talk half the night, and tell everything'!

“You don’t say so.” >
“Tes; I can never keep a secret from moth

mo after I’ve gone to 'bod, and I ‘answer her
questions as honestly as if my life depended on
it, - That -was the reason I Wouldn’t go to ride
the other night* I. knew she would knd it out
—it is awful,provoking.”
• Some daj-s after this,Jed called at the house,
and entering the parlor unannounced, found
that Miss Betstiy, probably overcome by the
heat of the weather, had fallen asleep on the
sofa. |
ftonr Jed, as the rentier has- surmised, had
long felt an over ruling partiality for thoyoung
lady, and yearned to know if it was returned:
but, though-possessed of sufficient courage t‘o,

“My dearest Betsey, tell me, oh! tell me
the objcctdfyour fondest allcctions.”
'Theifdiif sleeper gave a faint sigh and re.
sponded; “I lote—let me think—(here you
might have heard the beating of Jed's heart
thro' a.brick wall) I love Ilekvcn. my country,
and baked beans; but if I have one passion a
bovc all others, it is.for roasted onions.”
The indignant lover didn’t wake her, but
sloped at once, a sadder but riot a wiser man.
At last accounts Jed was “shining up” to an*
other young lady.
A Fikb Stiif.au.—A good story is told of a
Philadelphia judge, well known for his love of
jokes. lie had advertised a farm for sale, with
a fine stream of water running thro’ it. A few
days afterwards a gentleman called on him to
speak alwut it.
‘Well Judge,’ said he, ‘I have been over that
fatmi you advertised for sale tnc other day, and
find all right except the fine stream of water
you mentioned-*
‘lt runs thro’ the piece,of woods in the lower •
part of the meadow,’ said tbo Judge.
I ‘.\V|iat, that riltlc brook! Why it docs not
hold much more than a spoon full. I am sure if
you would'ciipty a bowl of water into it, |tl
wou\d. I bvferflori'. 1 You’ don’t call that a fine]
stream dri .youP •'
V finer
it at all,’said, the Judge, blandly*-; '*• -i'
,-' We never beard, whether the. gentleman
bought the form,but We rather‘think Jicdidn’t.
Mobal FuagiunCb.— fWhat a pity,’ sold a
boy tjf his father, as they walked l/iho’ the gar
den, ‘tliat the rpsc,. after blooming, docs not
produce fritit, and thus return a thick offering
in summer, for the Javely season of spring life.
Now, it »» allied the llowcr of innocence and
joy; then it woplj be also lire emblem of grab*
• itude.’
The father answered, ‘Does it not offer all its
loveliness to beautify lljc spring;- and, fortlio
dew and light which it 'receives from above
docs it not fill the air with its delicate frag
rance? Thus, like gratitude, bestowing n
charm unseen, which enhances every other
good. Treated for spring, it dies with the
Spring; but Us withered loaves retain a portion
of its sweet fragrance—so in the heart of inno
cence, does gratitude abide, after the kind deed’
Which brought it forth is forgotten.’
‘That’s a worry knowing hanimnl of

1 Very,’ said the keeper, quite coolly.
•Ho perforins strange tricks ami hnnlics.
don’t he?’ inquired tlic cockney, eyeing the an
imal thro’ n glass.
‘Worry surprising indeed, J said the keener.
‘Among other queer things, we've learnt ihm
to pul moiiey in that box up llmr. Try him
with a. dollar. 1
The cockney handed the elephant a dollar,
and sura enough ho took it in his trunk, and
placed Uin ,a box high out of rcnch.
•Veil, Hint’s worry hexiraordiimry—hasten*
whin’ truly ! Now let’s sco him take and ’and

t ‘We never learnt him to do that,’ replied tbe
keeper, with a knowing look, and then turned
to stir up the monkeys and punch the hyenas.
Pat’s Mistake. — A gentleman travelling
down East lately in a one-horse wagon, chanc
ed to stop at a small country tavern, which re
joiced in the possession of a very intelligent Ir
ish ostler. Handing the reins to this worthy
as ho alighted, the traveller requested the man
to take his hgrsc to tho stable and bait him.
‘Sure an’ j will, ycr honor,’ onswered the
Milesian, briskly, and away ho went.
In about half nn hour, the gentleman having
refreshed Himself sufficiently, naturally con
cluded that his four-footed servant was equal
ly to good care, and accordingly ordered his
team to the door.
The horse wns'panting and Trembling.
