the heart and generally of the brain !
When you meet a dashing pair, with a
team that is equally on the dash, ribbons
twisted all around the driver's anus, with a
very long whip in the socket, they may be
set down as somebody else's wife taking an
airing with somebody else's husband.
When you see a blooming young widow
snugging up to a beaver coat, hke a sick
kitten to a lict brick, this means a wedding
I —that sif the widow can only hare her
!w ay about it. And so on.
Hap*" Two fashionably-dressed young men
acquaintances, recently met in a street car.
when the following conversation occurred :
j "Chawies. are you going to the private
i masquerade ?"* *
| "Aw, I wit- thinking about it; but lam
in somewhat a dilemma as to what charac
, ter I shall select"
A sedate-looking old gentleman, who sat
by, remarked after a glance at the slim pro
portions of "Chawies."
"My young friend, if you will allow me.
| I can suggest a becoming character."
Said the young man, "I shall be under
great obligations to you if you will do so."
"Well." was the reply "get a gutta-per
elia outfit, and go as a monkey."
Exit, -Chawies."
A surgical journal speaks of a man who
lived five years with a hall in his head. A
waggish friend of ours says he has known
ladies to live twice as long with nothing
j but balls in their heads.
