SUNSET A.ETER A SHOWER,
Over the hill-tops, fold upon fold.
Like blood-stained banners within the sky,
Braided with crimson, and fring' d with gold,
In a sea of amber, the spent clouds lie.
Down in the valley tbe slnmbrouß trees
Droop, heavily jewelled with falling rain;
And a spicy-scented tremulous breeze
In ripples cross the bending grain.
Tbe winding liver like silver gleams
Through dreamy vistas that melt and fade;
And tbe sunlight, falling in slanting beams,
Strikes deep in the heart of the forest’s shade.
On distant uplands tbe lonely pine
Is.fringed with purple, and bound with fire :
The stones in tbe oburcbyurd glance and shine,
And tbe weather-vane is gilded wire.
Tbe tapering cedar, like a spear,
Shoots out of tbe cliff where stands revealed
The rocky ledge; and tbe herd appear
Like spots of color within the field.
And the braided banner of clouds are seen
To fiercer burn as with sudden shame; ■
\ While the bills below, and tbe vales between,
\ Are drowned in a yellow mist of flame.
And a fanner’s boy, all aglare with light,
Looks over the oliff where the oedars grow,
And shades with bis hand the dazzled sight,
And calls to his comrades down below.
Then the brazen woodlands eoho and ring,
And the earth and sky seem to shout with him ;
A pearly arch is tbe hawk’s fleet wing ;
And the sweltering iaodsoape seems to swim.
On yonder hill-side a cottage shines—
. The window westward flashes and glows—
It nestles amid its sheltering vines
Of glistening ivy like a rose.
And there in tbe porch two lovers woo—
Her slender figure his arms enfold;
While two doves in tbe dove-cot kiss and 000,
And raffle their necks of green and gold.
THE BOAT OF LIFE
BT TEOHAB MOORE.
Let’s take this world as some wide scene,
Through which, in frail but buoyant boat,
With skies now rude and now serene,
Together I and thou must float;
Beholding oft, on either shore,
Bright spots where we should love to stay,
But Time plies swift his flying oar,
And on we speed—away, away.
Should chilling winds and rains come on,
We’ll raise our awning ’gainst the shower —
Sit closer till tbe storm is gone.
And smiling wait a sunnier hour.
Aod if that sunnier hour should shine,
We’ll know its brightness cannot stay,
And, happy while ’tis ibinc and mine,
Complain not when it fades away.
Thus reaoh we both, at last, that full,
Down Which life’s currents all must go —
The dark, tbe brilliant, destined all
To sink into the void below;
Nor e’en that hour shall want its charms,
If side by side still fond we keep,
And calmly in each other’s arms,
Together linked, go down the steep.
A BONNET SONNET,
Here’s a tipsy little sonnet on a jaunty little bon-
net,
With a myrtle-wreath upon it, that I saw at church
to-day;
With a wealth of curls below, in many a golden
ringlet flowing,
On the lightest breeze outflowing, in wavy ’wilder
ing play;
’Twas a sweet, bewitching face in it, with wondrous
charming grace in it,
And not the faintest trace in it of—-anything un
pleasant;
Pale tbe forehead was, and fair, under two soft
waves of h.tir,
Not too hijjb, and not too fair; just arched like a
crescent;
(Ah! I’m half afraid they know it, by their merry
glanoing wiles!)
Cheeks with ruse and lily blended, mouth like Cu
pid’s bow unbended,
Or like dewy tulips rended, when it parted in her
smiles;
All within that little bonnet,
With the myrtle-wreath upon it.
ALL COUSINS TOGETHER.
BY PRANCES LEE.
The Cobb family were at breakfast.
* A little more gravy, if you please,’ said
Mrs. Cobb.
As she raised her plate there was a
loud, siogls knock at the door, which
opened instantly, apparently of itself.
‘Ho! it’s Mr. Wiggin, 5 said Mr. Cobb
to himself in a disappointed tone, as
though he had expected to see the Secre
tary of War—or at least a contraband.
* Good morning, Mr. Wiggin, 5 said he
affably aloud.
4 Your servant, Sir ! Good Morning!'
returndd the visitor, stamping the snow
from his boots in the same emphatic man
ner that he spoke. He was so large a man
that he seemed exaggerated, with hair that
had once been red, and whiskers that still
were.
4 Help yourself to a chair, Mr. Wiggin, 5
said Mrs. Cobb, who had forgotten all
about wanting gravy. But he preferred
the corner of the wood box, where he sat
with an old hat .on his head and his brawny
hands clasped about one knee, as fearing
it might, in its energy, walk away of
itself.
4 1 may as well be brief, and come right
to the point. lam a plain man, as you
know, neighbor Cobb, and when I have
anything to Bay, speak out a.leetle—blu7it,
we’ll »ay, without the ceremony and pala
ver that certain ones of our
have—l won’t call no names on this oc
casion, you understand whom I mean well
enough.’ Of course he Colonel
Dempster, to whom he was opposed in
every thing, simply because it was his
nature and life to be opposed to some
body. Having given the inevitable bit at
the urbane Colonel, he proceeded : 4 My
business, and the reason why l called so
early this morning, is to have some talk
with you about buying youDg critters. It
is my purpose and intention to take a fair
start to-morrow morn ng for Vermont, to
look for some. 1 believe lam not mistaken
in thinking you want more stock, and
therefore 1 called in to say if you want to
join me in an expedition of this kind, be
ready to step aboard my craft at precisely
half-past five o'clock to-morrow morning.
1 am a man of few words, what do you say,
neighbor Cobb, jes or no V
Neighbor Cobb took a moment to con
sider, and then assenting to his need of
inore stock, didn’t know but he could ar*
range to leave home to-morrow as well as
any time.
4 Half-past five o’clock preoißely ! I.
have told you just how it is; I want to
get an early start, 5 reiterated Mr. Wiggin,
and releasing his knee from durance, With
out the fashionable superfluity of adminis
tering the oath of allegiance, he followed
it actively through the door-way.
At half-past five precisely, on the next
morning, the mercury stood at a discoura
ging distance below zero, but Mr. W iggin’u
blue puug aud gray horse drew up before
Mr. Cobb’s gate, with all the more zest,
for he had an espeoial relish for out-gen
eraling the weather, and never yielded
,hip plans a whit for its rigor or inolemen-
Ofi. -

I The travelers were leagues away from
their pig-sties and milk-pails when the sun
came baob from China, and showed with
what opals and diamonds the prodigal
fro.-t king had been decorating even the
humblest way-side bnsh and tree; and
before nightfall they were near an old and
aristocratic town, where Mrs. Cobb’s
oonsin, Mrs. Doctor Danvers, resided.
‘ What do yon say to giving oonsin Dan
vers a call ?’ said Mr. Cobb.
‘ I am agreed to that,’ returned Mr.
Wiggin. ‘ Bat how is it, have your folks
straw and provender enough ?’
‘ Yes! 1 expect they are very fore
handed people, and Dootor Danvers is quite j
a likely soit of a mao, I should judge by '
what little I have seen of him. They vis
ited us once, some years ago, but it has ]
so happened we have never returned their ,
call.’ •
After some inquiry as to the way, the
gray horse antLblue pung stopped in front
of Dootor Danvers’ stately mansion just
as the sun started off baok to China
again.
‘ I’ll run in and see if the folks are at
home,’ said Mr. Cobb, while Mr. Wiggin
held in the gray horse with all his might,
shouting : ‘ Whoa, whirr ! whoa, whirr 1’
which had the effect of making him prance
and rear, thus showing his mettle to the
passers-by.
A pert-eolored girl answered the door
Wl, with her head thrown baok as though
taking an observation of the planetary
system, and, saying, ‘ Doctor Danvers isn’t
at home, nor Missis either, was and about
shutting the door in Mr. Cobb’s face.
‘ Won’t they be back to-night?’ asked
he, before she had time.
‘ ’Spects likely they will,’ answered she
indifferently.
‘ Then 1 guess I will go in and wait till
they come. 1 suppose lam some connec
tion of Mrs. Danvers,’ returned Mr. Cobb,
beckoning with his hand to Mr. Wiggin to
tie the spirited gray and follow him in. ,
Miss Geraldine ushered them into the
parlor, somewhat against her will, as was
manifested by slamming the door when she
made her exit.
‘ This ’ere looks comfortable’’ ejaculated
Mr. Wiggin, depositing his huge bulk in
a velvet auc-chair in front of a blazing
coal fire, and drawing an embroidered
ottoman for his feet. ‘ Though I won’t
say, but the old ki.chen and the old kitchen
fireplace at home, suit my notions just as
well.’
The dainty embroidery agreed with him
in that, as the snow began to melt from his
heavy boots, and tinge its delicate colors
with a dash of yellow ochre.
Very possible Mrs. Danvers thought so
when she came in, but she showed no an
noyance, welcoming her cousin’s husband
with graceful ease.
Mr. Cobb made her acquainted with an
old neighbor of his Mr Wiggin ; at least he
said he did, and Mrs. Danvers acknowl
edged it by bowing formally, with elegant
dignity.
‘ A very fine figure of a woman, and
dressed out like a poppet ; but give me my
Poily with a clean calico gown on after
all!’ said Mr. Wiggin to himself.
‘ Do you enjoy good health, Mrs. Dm
vers V asked Mr. Cobb by way of opening
conversation.
1 Usually not,’ replied the lady languid
ly. ‘lndeed for a few days I have been
really ill, and was trying to sleep when you
rang.”
‘ I unders'ood the black girl that you
had gone away,’ said Mr. Cobb in aston
ishment.
‘ She only meant that I was not at home
to company,’ returned Mr 3. Danvers with
composure.
‘Oh! ho!’ soliloquized Mr. Wiggin,
making another mental comparison in favor
of Polly and her hospitality.
‘Do you always keep help?’ inquired
Mr. Oobb, gtill bent on sociability.
‘ Certainly. We employ two servants,
a colored and an Irith girl besides the
Doctor’s office boy, who takes care of the
horses.’
At the word horses Mr. Wiggin glanced
uneasily toward the window, and Mr. Oobb
said : ‘ Then the Doctor has a barn ?
We ve got a horse out here that 1 expect
thinks it is about foddering-time ’
‘.I mistrust a little hay wouldn’t taste
bad to him,’ said Mr. Wiggin going to
ward the door.
‘ I shall be obliged to ask you to take
your horse to one of the hotels, as the
Doctor has no extra stalls in his barn,’
observed Mrs. Danvers in a courteous tone,
as though she were accustomed to sugar
coat her hnsband’s pi.ls.
Mr. Wiggin strode off, shocked at what
seemed like inhospitality, to him ; he
would have made a stable of his bed
room, if he had no other accommodations
for ihe horse of a guest, but out of respect
to Mr. Cobb he made no sign of discom
fiture, excepting by a sudden weakening
of the muscles of his ueck and eyelids,
which would have been expressive enough
to bis faithful Polly.
When he returned with Mr. Cobb from
caring for the horse, Mrs. Danvers was
not in the parlor, and did not appear until
tea-time, wbioh seemed a tedious while
coming to men who had faced the north
wind all day ; and, breakfasting at five in
the morning, had eaten nothing but cold
doughnuts aud oheese since.
The table, covered with elegant damask,
was glittering with si*ver and cut-glass ;
but alas ! the slices of bread were so gen
teelly thin, that after taking f'Mr , Mr.
Wiggin found himself with unabated ap
petite, yet ashamed to take another. A
bit ol jelly and a slice of fruit-cake with
tea from cups as delicate and not much
larger than a robin’s egg—what was this
to a man who could have devoured a quart
of baked-beans, with pork to match, as
yon and I would eat a saucer of straw
berries ?
Doctor Danvers must be excused before
tea was well over, for every minute was a
diamond to him, and his time was so taken
up that really he had seldom au hour to
call his own, but they would find Mrs.
Danvers much better oompauy. So per
haps they might, if she had not left them
to order some more coal, and forgotten to
return. Biddy came in with the coal-hod
directly, (Geraldine was above such coarse
work ;) and Mr. Cobb, who was a man of
friendly, social feelings, with a weakness
for all who had come from beyond the sea,
commenced conversation with her in this
wise:—
‘ How long have you been in the coun
try ?’
‘ And what is it ye’ll be afther spakin’
about thin to the likes of me.?’ returned
the girl, turning about and spilling a qnan-

tity of coal on the carpet,! justin the cen
tre of a bunch of white roses.
‘1 say, how long is it sinoe you left
Ireland?’
‘ Tin weeks, yer honor. And sure and
it’s longer by that much than I’m wishing
it was! Ooh ! but it would be luck to me
if it was niver a day since I left the blis
sed ould country, the holy Virgin forgive
me for doing that same !’
‘ Then you don’t like it as well here as
you did in Ireland ?’
‘ Indade and it’s the trnth ye are spa
kin,’ to be sure. I’d. give more for one
spair of grass that "grew in ould Ireland
than for ivery tree in Ameriky. It’s no
thing but hard work that I gets over here,
and plinty of it, but when it was at home
that 1 was, 1 niver had to lift me little
finger at anything, but lived just like a
born leddy of theTand, as Patrick O’Fian
nigan’s daughter was, to be sure ’.’
‘ Biddy ! Biddy ! I should like to know
who do you thinks is doing your work in
the kitchen while you are entertaining
company in. the parlor ?’ -said Geraldine,
poking her black face through the door.
Alter this Mr. Cobb and Mr. Wiggin
dozed before the fire, until- the musical
clock on the mantel mentioned that it was
nine of the night, when they were aroused
by Mrs. Danvers, who came in dressed for
a party, and looking ‘ as though she had
been done up at a laundry,’ Mr. Wiggin
told Polly. _ .
‘I hope you are entertaining your
selves,’ said she. ‘ The Doctor and I
have an engagement this evening, so I
trust you will excuse us, and make your
selves comfortable. If you would like to
retire before we return, Geraldine will
show you your room.’
‘ I reckon these ere folks would suit
Colonel Dempster’s taste to a T, but give
me good, plain farmer living, and farmer
manners,’ remarked Mr. Wiggin, as he
blew out the gas in his bed ohamber.
I will not waste your time describing
the state of the atmosphere in the house,
by the time Geraldine had discovered
which gas pipe was leaking, except to say
with Mr. Wiggin that ‘it scented most
killingly.’
‘ We must try to get off as early as we
can this morning,’ said he, sometime be
fore cook-orowiog, in a hopeless tone. But
not half hopeless enough, being aeoustomed
as be was to the thrifty housewifery of
Mistress Polly.
It was quite nine o’clock before break
fast was served, and it consisted of waffles
and omelets.
‘ If you ever come our way, you will
always fiod the latoh-striog out, with me
and my wife ready tf to return this favor,
after our plain, poor, homespun Btyle,’
said Mr. Wiggin in his whole-souled,
hearty fashion, by way of taking leave.
As he spoke, he leaned back so heavily in
the light dining chair, that its frail frame
work gave audible expression of dissatis
faction with its huge burden; and when
he sprang suddenly up it fell broken at his
feet.
‘ If they do come, they will find chairs
that wa’n’t made merely to look at., and
that are stout enough to bear up a mos
quito I’ said he in monologue.
When he found himself and Mr. Cobb
fairly outside the door of Doctor Danvers,
he gave a grunt of relief, saying : ‘ I don’t
never desire to set foot among your fash
ionable gentry again, as long as my name
is Nehemiah Wiggin! 1 had rather for
the pleasure of it be pot to breaking
stones on the highway. Now that sso I
And I’ll tell you one thing more, the first
tavern we come to, after leaving this, fa
mine place, 1 shall stop and take a bite of
something or other to stay my stomaoh.’
You would have thought so to have seen
him eat. Sausages, ham, potatoes, cab
bage and browu bread, disappeared like
vegetation at the time of the plague of
locusts in Egypt, until he had made ample
amends for all past omission.
It was snowing when they left tho hotel,
and snowed thicker and faster as the day
wore away, but the travelers kept on go
ing hither and thither, as they heard of
farmer Dobson’s fat two-year old, and far
mer somebody else’s likely yearlings.
‘l’ve a proposition to make to you,’
said Mr. Wiggin, as daylight began to
fail. ‘ I put up at your cousin’s last night,
what do you say to putting up at my
cousin’s to-night, neighbor Cobb ?’
Neighbor Oobb didn’t know aB he had
any objection, but preferred to leave the
matter altogether with him.
‘ Then it is settled in a few words ! We
will go,’ returned Mr. Wiggin. ‘ I don’t
know exactly for positive where cousin
Otis lives, but it’s somewhere among these
ere hills ; and one thiDg I am certain about,
we shan’t be bothered with any of that ’are
nasty smelling' stuff for to light up the
rooms with, and there won’t be more cloth
and silver ware on the table than is need
ed, I’ll warrant you that. Cousin Otis’
folks an’t none of your stuok up gentry,
or I am'mistaken, though I han’t seen
noDe of them these twenty years.’
Tho chase for cousin Otis* house was a
long and treacherous one ; but after losing
the way several times, and buffeting a
fierce north-easter till far into the evening,
they came in sight of a dim light, which
was supposed to show the haven they
sought.
' Mr. Wiggin jumped from the sleigh,
and, groping Lis way to the door, rapped
loudly with his w.hp stalK. This call was
answered directly by a woman and. two
large dogs. The man of few words was
not long in making himself known. ‘ Most
obedient madam! does Otis Wiggin live
here? If so, his cousin Nehemiah has
come to see him from Massachusetts, and
I am the man.’
Before he had finished speaking, the joy
of the welcome began. 1 Sure enough,
Otis! It’ your cousin Nehemiah come from
the old. Bay State in this storm a purpose
to see us ; only think on’t!’
Otis had already retired for the night,
but his bed room and kitchen being one,
he did not wait to dress before joining his
welcoming with his wife’s. ‘ Well now, I
never did! This is better than a gold
diamond, an’t it, Hepsy ? Who’d a be
lieved it ? Clean from the old Bay State.
We han’t had such a treat as a cousin to
sec us these ten years, diave we Hepsy V
Even Mr. Wiggin, with all his power of
lnng, was overpowered for a while, but he
took advantage of the first lull to say he
had a friend in his sleigh at the door.
This intelligence inoreased the delight.
‘Think of that, Otis!. Another oonsin
come to see us! Two on ’em in: one
night! Here, wake up, children, we’ve
got oousins from abroad come to,see ns.’
While trundle-beds Aid bonks gave up
an incredible number of white-headed,
barefoot occupants, cousin Otis was atthe
sleigh welcoming Mr. Cobb." ‘ Walk right
in 1 walk right in ! don’t Btop to knock off
the snow ; I am powerful glad to see you,
and so is Hepsy.’
‘ So I be, and proud to know you took
the pains to come and see poor folks like
us,’ said Hepsy, ooming forward with a
coarse, shabby dress, banging in disorder
about her gaunt form, 1 and not a bit of
grace or polish in' her manner ; yet with
such cordiality and warmth of heart light,
ing up her hard, care-worn face, that she
seemed almost comely to the wear;
travelers.
The poor room, too, with its uneven floor
and soanty furniture, looked cheerful and
attractive, as the biggest boy raked open
the coals in the great stone fire-place, and
heaped on wood, whioh sprang into flames,
and spirkled and roared up the blackened
chimney.
Cousin Otig put the horse in his oow
shed, turning the cow in for a night’s lodg.
ing with the pig; tipped up the sleigh to
protect it from the the snow, and brought
in the buffaloes to dry by the fire.
‘He is a oonsin too, isn’t he ?’ said
Hepsy, looking at Mr. Cobb, as she pro
ceeded to stir up a jobnny cake for their
supper.
‘ Notra cousin exaotly, but a nigh neigh
bor of mine, and a most excellent one, I
oan assure you !’ replied Mr. Wiggin.
‘ I thought we were all oousins together,
but he’s just as weloome, I’m sure; and
it is all the kinder in him to come out of
the way to see poor folks like us that an’t
no blood relation to him,’ replied Hepsy,
putting the cake beforo the fire to bake, in
a spider.
When done, it was served with milk,
and eaten with relish; while cousin Otis
and his admiring family looked on, con
sidering every mouthful eaten an especial
favor and compliment-to themselves.
When the meal was over, with ready
thoughtfulness, Hepsy reokoned they must
be tired, an! wouldn’t feel like visiting
any more that night. ‘ I am going to have
you turn into our bed,’ said she hospitably.
‘ We oan get aloug well enough to oamp
down among the children. It would be
kinder handy to have another room, but l
hope you will put up with it, seeing as we
are all oousins together, as it were.’
Weariness of body and a dear con
science brought untroubled sleep to guests
and hosts, although a wild storm of wind
and snow bowled in at the broken windows,
and down the wide chimney, until, at the
proper time, morning came, bringing with
it fair weather, and a breakfast of potatoes
roasted in the ashes, and garnished with
salt.
In honor to the visitors, the riokety
table was covered with a sheet, taken from
the bed; and Hepsy ate her breakfast with
a large butchbr’s knife and unalloyed satis
faction.
‘ I want you to grant me the favor and
privilege of giving my n-ime to this ’ere
little chap of yourn, if he isn’t already
provided with one,’ said Mr. Wiggin, who
had been pondering on some delicate
method of recompensing his entertainers.
‘ It’s a her,’ replied Hepsy, 1 ioking at
the scrawny monthling with affectionate
pride, ‘ and we laid out to call her Hepsy
after me, but it don’t make no odds, we
had jost as lief save it for the next one.
‘ Call her Polly, then, after my wife ;
and you couldn’t name her after a better
woman, though 1 say it, and here’s a little
present for her from me and my Polly.’
Mr. Wiggin threw a golden half-eagle
in the lap of the mother, as he spoke,
whioh brought the children swarmiDg about
her, like flies around a cup of molasses.
‘ Now what is it, marm V
‘ Let me see it ?’
‘ You get away aDd let me look !’
‘Oh ! ’tan’t nothin’ only a yeller cent!’
‘ It’s the yeller gold and it’s worth more
than forty cents, I reckon,’ said the mother
in her superior wisdom, patting itcareful
ly away in a broken cup on the top-shelf
of the dresser.
When the travelers left, cousin Otis
went aloug with’ the ‘ fire-sliee,’ to help
them through the drifts, until they reached
the main road ; then, giving encourage
ment that if he could get Mr. Gipson’s old
mare and wagon, he would visit them after
berry-time,with Hepsy and the children, he
took a friendly farewell, and returned to
his home and its joys.
‘ Well, neighbor Cobb,’ said Mr. Wig
gin, after plunging through the drifted
snow for a while in silence, ‘ I don’t know
how it may be with you, or what your
thonghts may be, but my mind and opinion
is, that for true, hearty, friendly, thorough
hospitality and cordiality, give me the poor
rather than the rioh in this world’s goods !’
After another pause, and another drift
conquered, he continued : ‘ But, however,
and furthermore, I have been thinking, if
you are agreed, we will pat up at the
tavern during the remainder of our tour,
and not ‘ cousin ’ any more.’
About Repartees.
A repartee, we presume to be an immedi
ate and appropriate reply to an observa
tion, depending npon the rapidity of the
working of the mental powers, which
seem to work rather faster with some
people than others. We were once riding
in an old stage coach,wuh a worthy farmer;
the mud was very deep, and our progress
at the rato of 2.40 miles per hour. To
our impatient inquiries as to when we
should reach oar destination, the old man
replied in a slow tone, which did not belie
his words, ‘ I never allow my mind to
travel any faster than my body.’
Some persons, however, seem to have
an eleotrio current of wit, which flashes
the moment it meets an opposing one ;
and it is our purpose here to give from
memory a few specimens of this sort of wit,
for whioh we would give the authors
proper oredit if we knew their names ; be
ginning with the two of Lamb’s, which oan
| not be left oat of snob a oatalogne, familiar
as they are. First, his reply when he was
1 rebuked for coming in to business at the
, India House so very late in the morning
i —‘ Yon know I always go away very early
! in the afternoon ;’ and the still older one
to the anxious passenger’s qnery on
entering a crowded omnibus—‘AH full in
side V ‘ I don’t know how ’tis with the
other passengers, but that last piece of
oyster pie did the business for me.’ It is
related of some-friends of Campbell, the
author of Hobenlinden, in leaving his room
. after a gay supper, that cue of the number
had the misfortune to fall down a long
; flight of stairs. The.poet, alarmed at the
, noise, opened his door and inquired—
l ‘ What’a that?’ ‘ ’Tia /, sir, rolling ra-
pidly,’ was the immediate reply of his fal
len friend. Sheridan is said to have re
marked on entering a crowded committee
room, in parliamentary language—‘ Will
some member move that I may take a
seat?’ Also on being asked how the sen
sitive Fox woujd take a salary provided
for him by his charitable friends, replied,
‘Quarterly.’ A poor poet, desiring a
compliment, asked Curran (referring to his
recently published poem of that name,)
* Have you read my Descent into Hell ?’
‘No ; 1 should like to see it,’ replied the
wit. A prosy ihember 0# Parliament
having asked him—‘ Have you read my
last speech V he replied, ‘ I hope I have.’
Two old New England ministers were
riding byia gallows, when the older one
asked the other—‘ Where would you be if
that tree bore its proper fruit ?’ ‘ Riding
alone, sir,’ was the immediate reply. An
Irish girl at play on Sunday was accosted
by the priest—‘Good morning, daughter of
the devil,’ and meekly replied, «Good
morning, father.’ Two friends meeting,
one remarked— l l have just met a man
who told me I looked exaotly like you.’
‘ Tell me who it was, that I may knock
him .down, replied his friend. Don’t
trouble yourself,’ said he, ‘ I did that my
self at onoe.’ The oelebrated David
Crockett, on visiting a menagarie, was
comparing the countenance of a monkey to.
that of one of his fellow members of Con
gress. Turning, he saw the gentleman
had overheard bis remarks ; so, to make
matters pleasant, be said—‘ Ido not know
which to apologize to—you or the* monkey.’
Two deaoons were|onoe disputing about the
proposed site for a new graveyard, when
the first remarked— ‘ I’ll never be buried
in that ground as long as I live.’ ‘ What
an obstinate man,’ said the seoond. ‘lf
my life is spared, I will.’
Laughter.
It iB an old proverb that langhter is akin
to tears; and) according to Dootor L«m
priere, the one seems to have grown very
naturally out of the other. When Momus
was born he filled all Olympus with his
lusty eries; all the goddesses hastened to
appease the terrible ehild ; and Jupiter,
who could not look without inextinguish
able laughter at his last oreature —Man—
at once dedioated to him the weeping clown.
Laughter draws backward the oorners
of the mouth, draws up tbe upper lip—
especially in young women who have pretty
teeth—wrinkles the cheeks, smooths the
brow, causes the eyes to sparkle, and draws
down the corners of the eye-brows, while
the cheeks swell so that, in those fat per
sons who are given to laughter, one soarce
sees the eyes. At the same time the veins
of the neck swell, and the blood rushes
with pleasant violence to the head, the
heart, and the lungs. These are the phe
nomena of laughter, which, if unduly in
creased, are capable of endangering life.
It is curious that we read only among the
anoients and the French of people laugh
ing themselves to death. We Americans
have either more jokes, or a poorer ap
preciation of wit. Zeuxis is said to have
died of laughing at a painting of an old
woman, his own handiwork. Philemon ex
pired of a donkey who so oontentedly ate
the philosopher’s figs, that with his last
articulate breath, he sent out a glass of
wine to the beast,"who drank it with equal
enjoyment, and thus proved himself, it
seems to me, not such a donkey after all.
Pomponious Mela has a story of a blessed
island in which were two springs, at one of
which mortals could imbibe till they laugh
ed themselves to death, when a swallow of
the other restored them to life again.
In an essay in the Guardian laughing is
defined to be ‘ an agreeable kind of con
vulsion, a symptom of inward satisfaolion ;
and those who practice it are divided into
dimpleri, smilers, laughers, grinners, horse
laughers, and sneerers. This is to lay down
a science of laughing, for whieh there
might be need if General McClellan or
General Beauregard should take up the
idea of old Bulow, who proposed to form
troops, in tbe face of the ecemy, in line of
battle, and order them to advance with
their aims at a shoulderand.salute the foe
with ringing bursts of laughter. ‘Be
sure,’ said Bulow ‘ that your opponents,
surprised and dismayed at this astonishing
salute, would turn about and run off.’
This plan, perhaps, would not do so well
while the present long-range artillery is
used ; but as nothing is too absurd to suc
ceed once, it is related as a matter of fact
that the Mamelukes once turned tail from
an assault upon the Frenoh in Egypt, on
hearing the roar of laughter with which
Napoleon’s veterans greeted the command
‘ Un quarre, les ones et les lavans au mil
lieu—Form in square, asses and men of
science in the centre.’
Since Adam, who invented laughter—
doubtlesß when he awoke and saw Eve by
his side—no two men have laughed alike.
The laugh is as distinct as the voice; per
haps more so, for the laugh of a full
bearded man is very different from that
which he laughs , when he has been clean
shaven by a barber. Women laugh differ
ently from men, ohildren from women, and
some writers even profess to detect nation
al peculiarities in the laugh; as for in
stance, say they, the Frenchman laughs
with his teeth, like the apes. The Abbe
Damasceni thought he had discovered, in
the various enunciations of laughter, a
sure guide to the temperaments of the
laughers. Thus he said Ha ha ha belonged
to a choleric man, He he he to the phleg
matic, Hi hi hi to the melanoholic, and
Ho ho ho to the sanguine. It is true that
men laugh commonly in Ji and 0, and
women in E and I, and it is singular that
with all people, even the cockneys, the as
pirate, H, preoedes the vowel.
The old theologians held laughter to be
one of the consequences of the first sin,
and believed that Adam did not laugh till
he was driven; out of Paradise.
Great men have often fancied it a part
of greatness to refrain from hilarity.—
Philip IV. of Spain is said to have laughed
outright but once in his life, when bis
bride, Anne of Austria, wept at hearing
that the Queens of Spain had no feet.—
.She took with German literalness an old
pieoe of over-wrought Spanish oourtesy. —
As she was journeying toward Spain some
German nuns met her, and desired to pre
sent some stockings of their own knitting.
The worthy princess was about to aocept
the gift when a Spanish grabdee of her
suite interfered, with the remark that it
would be'against etiquette, as the Queens
of Spain were not supposed to have any
use for stockings'. whereat the princess
began to weep—understanding, poor lady,
that on her arrival in Madrid her feet
would be oat off. Lord Chesterfield said:
"i. ;
‘ Nobody has seen me laugh sinoe I have
come to use my reason;’ and Congreve
makes his Lord Froth, in the Double
Dealer say, ‘ .When I laugh I always, laugh
alone.’
Nevertheless, the singer Robert gave
lessons in laughter in Paris' and London
in 1805, and with considerable suooess—
so far as filling his own purse went. He
held that men and women Could not laugh
< deoently and systematically ’ without
proper training; and said' that a person
who oould laugh in but one tone seemed
to him like one who oould say only out and
nonj but that a trained laughter oould
express many things without words, and
would often thus be spared the utterance
of unpleasant words.
A Clergyman’s Joke.
I was spending'the night in a hotel.in
Freeport, Illinois. After breakfast I oarne
into the sitting-room, when 1 met a plea
sant, chatty, good-humored traveller, who,
like myself was waiting for the morning
train from Galena. We conversed freely
and pleasantly on several topios, until
seeing two young ladles meet and kiss eaoh
other in the street, the conversation turned
on kissing, just about the time the train,
was approaebing. ‘ Comq/’said he, taking
up his carpet bag, ‘sinoe we are on so
sweet a subjeot, let us have a practical
application. I’ll make a proposition to
you. I’ll agree to kiss the most beautiful
lady in the cars from Galena, you being
the judge, if you will kiss the next prettiest,
I being the jubge.’ The proposition stag
gered me a little, and 1 could hardly tell
wheiher he was in earnest or in fun; but
as he would be as deep in it as i oould
possibly be, 1 agreed, provided he would
do the first kissing, though my heart
failed somewhat as I saw his blaok eye
fairly sparkle with daring. ‘ Yes,’ said
he, ‘ I’ll try it first. You take the baok
oar, and go in from the front end, where
you can see the faees of the ladies, and
you stand by the one you think the hand
somest, and I’ll come in from behind aDd
kiss her.’ I had hardly stepped inside
the oar when I saw at the fiist glanoe one
of the loveliest looking women my eye
ever fell on; A beautiful blonde, with
aubuin hair, and a bright sunny-face, full
of love and sweetness, and as radiant and
glowing as the morning. Any further
search was totally unnecessary. I imme
diately took my stand in the aisle of the
car by her side. She was looking out of
the window earnestly, as if expeoting some
ono. The baok door of the car opened,
and in stepped my hotel friend. I pointed
my finger slyly to her never dreaming that
he would dare to carry out his pledge ;
and you may imagine my horror and
amazement when he stepped up quickly
behind her, and stooping over kissed her
with a relish that made ‘ my mouth water,
from end to end. I expeoted, of course,
a shriek of terror and then a row generally,
and a knock-.down; but astonishment
succeeded astonishment when I saw her
return the kisses with Compound interest.
Quick as a flash he turned to me and
said, ‘ Now, sir, it is your turn ;’ pointing
to a hideously ugly, old woman who sat in
the seat behind. ‘ Oh, you must excuse
me. you must exouse me 1’ I exclaimed.
<I am sold this time. I give up. Do tell
me who you have been kissing.’ ‘ Well,’
said be, ‘ sinoe you are a man of so much
taste, and such quick perception, I'll let
you off.’ And we all burst into a general
laughter as he said. ‘ This is my wife !
1 have been waiting here for her. I knew
that was a safe proposition.’ He told tbe
story to his wife, who looked • ten-fold
sweeter as she heard it.
Before we reached Chicago we exchang
ed cards, and I discovered that my genial
companion was a popular Episcopalian
preacher of Chicago whose name 1 had
frequently heard. Whenever I go to
Chicago, I always go to hear him, and a
heartier, more natural, and more eloqnent
preacher it is hard to find. He was then
bat a young man ; he is now well known
as one of the ablest divines of the Epis
copal denomination in the West. — Harper's
Monthly.
Splitting Baibs. —Some years ago,
Koger M. Sherman and Perry Smith, of
Connecticut, were opposed to each other as
advocates in an important case, before a
court of justice. Smith opened the case
with a wild and foolish tirade against Sher
man’s character. Sbermap rose in a com
posed manner, and remarked :
1 1 shall not discuss politics with Mr.
Smith before this court, but am perfectly
willing to argue questions of law, to chop
logic, or even to split hairs with him.’
‘Split that, then,’ said Smith, at the
same time palling out a short rough-look
ing hair from his own head, and handing
it over towards Sherman.
‘ May it please the honorable court,’ re
torted Sherman, ‘ I didn’t' say bristles!’
