CLEARFIELD, PA., MARCH. 1, 1865.
A Gentleman not Ion'? since, in one of
his rides in Southern Illinois, .ouprht to make
himself interesting to a ood-looking mother
of a sweet baby, occupying the next seat in
the car. After duly praising the baby he
remarked to the mother "lie is a real sucker,
I suppose?" "No sir" said the lady, blush
ing, wehadtorai.se him on the bottle.
The gentleman resumed his reading -and
has not bragged on any strange baby since.
"Sonny,'doyouknovyourletters?" "Yes,
sir, two of 'em." "Possible! what are they ?'
"Let 'er go, and let 'er rip !" "Smart boy ;
go to the tub and wet your hair ; a brain
of such fertility can' t be kept to moist;
"What, are you drunk aerain ?" "No
ray dear, not drunk, but a little slippery.
The fact is, my dear, some scoundrel ha 3
been rubbing my boots till they are as slip
pery as a pane of glass.
A burden which one chooses is not felt.
