A CLEVER UVS K. A Taris paper says: A gentleman Was seated before the Cafo Hioho,when a young artist passed with a com pun- ,1 Ion. "I will bet you." said the artist to J t bis friend, "I will drink that gentle- [ man's coffee, and ho will thank uie for : doing it." "You arocrazy." "You will see." ? "You know him then." "Como and see tlio proceeding for : .L yourself." Very soloinnly they approached the ' gentleman. I "Sir," said the artist, "I am an in- > specter of the Hoard of Health. If 1 j I ask for eolTeo they will give me with- j 1 out doubt a very good cup, for they | know mo. You, sir, whom they do not i | know, are served like the rest of the I I world. Will you permit me to taste j your eolTeo?" "Certainly," said the gentleman. IJ "This is really good, tho government j has great en re over the people. Tlio I police cannot be too watchful over , ' Hie public health." ; 1 The artist drank tlio coffee, and hav- i ing linished it sai l politely, "They do j t things ]>roperly at this eafe; tliis is excellent coffee." I \ llo bowed, and left the gentleman I to pay for the coffee ho had not had, |( but profoundly grateful for the euro of the government. j ^ - ? s A Monrii STUhr.NT, s M'lie Hew Dr. Hitclile, of Edinburgh, < though a very clover man, oneo mot I : with his match. When examining a \\ student as to tho classes ho had at- ( j tended, lie said : , "And you attended the class for j lnatheinat ics?" i t??. "How many sides has a circle?" "Two," said 11 it* studcn'. "What arc they?" "What a laugh in the court tho stu- j ilont's answer produced when lie said, "An inside and an outside!" The doctor next inquired, "And you ' attended tho moral philosophy class ' also?" * "Yes." "Well you would hear lectures on i various subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?" . "Yes." "Does an effect ever go beforo a cause?" "Yes." "Give mo an instance." "A man wheeling a wheelbarrow." The doctor then sat down and proposed 110 more questions. 1IOW T1IKY 11 MCI) IT. A New] Yorker while journeying tho other day, was recognized by another j citizen doing business near the Bow- | .try, he being also away from homo 011 | business and after a litt le 1 nvliminarv conversation, tho first remarked:? "Well, T hear that yju had to mako an assignment." " Ycf, dat is drew," replied tho other. "And your brother, over on Chatham street; he assigned too, didn't he?" "You zee it was shust like dis," said the Bowery man. "1 vims owing a goot deal, and Jacob he vhas owing a ! goot deal. I makes over my stock to I Jacob and Jacob makes over his stock j to me, and I do his peesncss and ho does my pcesness, and dem vcllers vliat was alter money dean get somol" A DISAl'i'OINTlil) 1IOOSIKU. This is tho way his name read on the hotel register:? "Constable llenry Harrison Paul, Indiana." Ho was a portly man, he talked in a loud voice, and he darkly hinted to the clerk that he was here on important business. The next morning after his arrival bespread out live or six papers on the reading room table, and went over each column of each paper in turn. He was occupied for nearly two hours, and as he was folding up the papers a gentleman who had hccn interested in iiis actions, inquired :? "Well, didn't you lind what you were looking after?" "No, sir, 1 didn't!" said the Hooslcr, in a loud voice. "I always thought the press of New York was up to the mark in enterprise, but I came into town early yesterday morning and not a dum paper has a line of notice about it yet!" TOO MUCH TICOl'HLK. r The other day two colored citizens met on the walk near the City Ilall, one of them angrily exclaimed : "Misser Jones, if you doan pay dcin seven dollars de law will be put to you powerful hard." "Now, doan be onrcasonin'," replied Jones, in a cajoling voice. "Jiut you's got money in do blank!" shouted the first. "Yes, I know J cud gid a check on do bank, but I 'se got to get a blank check, borrow pen 'n ink, put on my specs, write all obcr do check, godown <mr lo uentliy you, ngger up uo loss ob interes', and probable while I was in do bank some one'ud be lookin'fur mo on do street to hire 1110 at four dollars a day. Deso am do eheif reasons why I doan want to pay do money for do next two weeks." An absent-minded youth went three miles into the woods to look for partridges, with a view of capturing a fow of them. At last he espied one of these shy birds of the forest, and when ho % got ready to tako aim ho discovered for the first time that, although his powder and shot were with him, "he hud left his gun at homo." j A Toon J'oung man remarks that the ?ov advice ho gets from capitalists it 'tUljhin his income," whoreas / experiences is to live ^| "?me* the A Lucky Larceny Mr. Courtney wan a rich oM I?:?:*1?<?or, and t hejunele ol a couple ol nephews ? the one a brother's, the oth? r a sis er's Hon. These two were his next ol ;in, legally entitled, in ease he died ntestate, to inherit his property, Kdward I lot ion, his deceased sister's ion, was decidedly his favorite, and to iitil the <dd gentleman resolved to jive the hulk of lis estate. Charles Courtney, t lie othei nephew, ntd inherited a handsome fortune from lis lather, and moreover, hv his uncle's vill, was entitled to succeed to that elt to h's cousin, in the event ol the alter's dyiujj without issue.

An examination ol the reinainine powder dielosed the laet that it was pun* arsnio. It was too late for any ar.l'dotc to he available; and in less than an hour death had relieved the snll'ercr.
