An obliging gentleman, who thinks that personal favors do not cost much, j while they make friends, was applied to by a colored man for a certificate of character by which ho might get a situ? ation. The -testimonial proved to be I more complimentary than Scipio himsolf had expected; and that worthy, on reco? vering from his astonishment, exclaimed: "Say, Mr.?pj won't you gib mo. some ding to do yourself on dat recommenda? tion?'.' ., : A gentleman was endeavoring to enjoy an evening in company of a young lady ?upon whom ho called, but found a serious obstacle in the person of a stern father, who at length very plainly intimated that the hour for retiring had arrived. "I think you are correct, my dear sir," returned the unabashed young man. "We havo been waiting to have you go to bed for over an hour." It is astonisbihg how much more a man who is hot a journalist knows about journalism than one who has labored years at the work. He will confess his inability to knock a box together without some> sort of an apprenticeship, but he will undertake a double-leaded leader with a sereno confidence which tho regu? larly apprenticed journalist never knows. A Slate-penoll was lately extracted from an Indianapolis lawyer's ear, after having nestled in his head for seventeen years. The alnto has not been found-yet, but it is barely possible, that tho man lost the pencil while doing a Bum in his. head.' Ho blushed fiery red, her heart went pit-a-pat; oho gently hung her head, and looked doy/n at the mat. He trembled in hlfi epeeoh; ho rose from where ho sat, and'shouted with a screech, "You're sit? ting on my hat!" Wo riro authoritatively informed that bustles are coming in fashion again.
