tlTWhen you have bored the bull's

6-y A bankrupt was condoled, with
the other day for his embarrassment.
"Oh, I'm not embarrassed at all," said
he; "It's my creditors that are embar
rassed." (jy Revenge is sweet," young man ;
but don't tackle a fellow that weighs
more then you, or you'lL never
know where the sweet part of the thing
comes in.
y"What," said an inquisitive young
lady, "is the most popular color for a
bride V" We may be a little particular
in such matters, but we should prefer a
white one.
$3T Our Jake, through the lather:
Strange, I never can grow a good beard,
and yet my grandfather had one three
feet long, Hairdresser ! "Can't account
for it, sir unless you tak after your
grandmother."
A guide professed to exhibit
Balaam's sword ; upon which a gentle
man observed that Balaam had only .
wished for a sword ; to which it was
answered, "Precisely so, and this is the
sword for which he wished."
My dearest Maria," wrote a
recently married husband to his wife.
Bhe wrote back : "Dearest, let me cor
rect either your crammer or vour
morals. You addressed me 'my dearest
Maria.' Am I to suppose you have
other dear Marias?"
C3In the midst of a quarrel one man
exclaims : "I don't know what keeDS
me from breaking vour head I" "Well
I know what keeps me from breaking
yonrs," was the reply. I'm a member
of the society for the prevention of
crueuy to animals."
"Major, how did yees iver lose
that leg?" "Why, Tat, one of my
ancestors was an Irishman ; and all my
blood that came from him was in my
left leg. So I had it cut off." "By the
powers," said Pat "it's a pity that it
hadn't settled in your head I"
r- "Why don't you marry?" said
Pope Alexander VII. one day to Alacci,
the librarian of the Vatican. "So- that,
your Holiness, if an opportunity offers,
I may enter the priesthood." "Well,
then, why don't you become a priest?"
"I don't, your Holiness, in order that if
an opportunity presents itself I may
marry well.
An ill-looking fellow was asked
how he could account for nature form
ing him so ugly. "Nature was not to
blame," said he, "for when I was two
months old, I was considered the hand
somest child in the neighborhood, but
my nurse one day swapped me away
forauother boy just to please a friend,
whose child was rather plain looking."
Cr'Tather," said a youthful prodigy
to the professor of mathematics, "can't
you tell me thedifference between one
yard and two yards?" In an instant
the mathemetical brain began to run
over the theorems of Euclid, but no
clear answer came. The professor look
ed into the boy's face, and remembered
thatHadyn played the cathedral organ
when he was five years old, and began
to wonder if this boy was equally guilty,
"Do you glveit up ?" "Yes, my son,
I think I must," and he grew very
grave and solemn. "Well, the real
difference is a fence, father." The boy
went out to play marbles, while the old
gentlemen thought of a great many
things which he couldn't express.
A Boy's Comparison.
It was a calm, still night; a soft air
played caressingly with the tresses of a
lovely girl, and the moon shed ite gen
tle ray over the radiant brow of her lov
er. Her small brother, meanwhile, Just
home for the holidays, was accidently
wandering iu quest of a bat in the neigh
borhood, when lie htnrd the voices of
his sister aud her bei rothed. Prompted
by the natural curiosity of youth, he lin
gered to listen. After a few inarticu
late murmurs he became conscious of the
sounds of osculation, and enjoyed his
position exceedingly. Later in the eve
ning he met tiie pair at tea. " I heard
you kiss Fred," he abruptly remarked
to his sister. "What do you mean, you
rude boy?" cried the sweet girl, turning
scarlet. "Oh, it's no use denying it,"
replied her brother, "you can't gammon
me. I know the sound, you know; it
was Jnst like a cow pulling her hoof out
of a mud htrfp." This Is an instance of
a comparison which was odious.
