CATASTROPHE. BT RonRv BRAMBLE. Sweet Julia, in the witching dance, Received full many an ardent gli nce From many, love- lit eyes; But with a toss of her fair head, She motioned, as if she had said, "In vain are all your %ishs!" She was a creature full of pride, And full of lofty airs beside She would not smile on any. Her suitor watched her every gaze, Her glances set their hearts ablaze, And these were rich and many. She walked with grace, and polka'd, too, There were no figdres but she knew, How stately were her motions! Her taper fingers, sweet!y gloved, Seemed all the things in life she loved, All else was simply " notions." Thus whirling in the graceful dance, And trying every charm t' entrace She paused! and blushed! while o'er Her cheeks ran tear !-how pride was crusl,ed I The string she trusted, too, had burt Her hoops lay on the floor; She gathered them up and ran as speedily as possible to the dressing-room, and from there home, and for several weeks was seen no niore. FIGHTING TIlE. TIGER. Some years ago, says a writer in the Philadel phia Dispatch, I was in a gambling house in Cincinnati, a silent looker-on at a game of faro. In those days such operations were carcied on rather openly, and almost under the eyes of the authorities, with unbarred doors, so that any one could walk in, either in the capalcity of a better, or a mere spectator. Ia the latter capacity I found myself, near midnight, when the door of the den opened. Just as the gawr began to flag, and not a sound was heard but the click of the cheeks and the rattle of some dishes a dar. key was placing on a table, in walked a tall, raw boned, country-looking chap, in a gray.satinct coat and a coon-skin cap. He walked right up to the only vacant place at the table, and draw ing from a side-pocket an enormous calfskin wallet, which looked as if it might conthain at least a thousand, in fives and tens, addressed the dealert "Look here, Mister, I'm going to fight this here tiger up to the nines ? Understand me, I allers fight to the death; that is, until I break you or you break me!" "Very good," said the dealer, " you are one of the kind we like to deal for." And his eyes fairly danced at the certainty of depleting the plethoric-looking pocket-book. "But, understand me," continued the rough customer, "there is one thing you must first agree to; and that is, if you break me, you must give me money enough to carry me home." "I'll do it," said the "leg." "You all on you hear, gentlemen," said Rough, "that I have the word ot an honorable sporting man, that if he wins all the money in this yere pocket-book, he gives me money enough to carry me home." " Yes! yes ! yes " responded the entire party. Here the darkey announced supper, and the keeper of "the tiger" announced a recess for half an hour. Thec crowd went into the good things prepared, and Itough was not a whit be hind the rest. lie dived into the venison, the oyster pie, awl the "chicken fixins," until he could eat no amore with any degroe of safety to himself-not fo~atting to wash down the whole with liberal potations of brandy. Refreshment over, labor bade'fair to commencee in right down earnzest. The dealer took off his coat ; rolled up his sleeves, atnd seated haimself. Rough aquared himself at the yible, and again -drew the ponderous wallet. All eyes were now turned upon him ; for spectators, patrons of the establishment, and even bankers themselves, looked for a tall game. Rough drew from one of the pockets of the wallet a greasy and rather suspicious-looking five doliar bill, and called for the worth of it in chips. After scrutinizing it a moment, the dealer tossed it into his drawer, and passed over a stack of tea chips to Rough. He next gave the cards sundry scientific "flirts," placed them in the box, and announced "All .ready!" Rough placed his ten chips on the ace, and the deal went on. Some eight or ten cards were drawn out, when an ace came to view, on the top of the box, and the dealer immediately put tea more chips on the top of Rough's pile. Rough let the twenty chipis lay upon the ace, .and it was not long before another one made its appearance, hut this time it fell by the side of the box, and the dealer " raked down" the en tire pile. He then waited a feiw mnonments in ex pectation that Rough would open the pocket book againa, but that individualecontinued resting his chin on the paln of his hand, and gazing abstractedly on the ace. "Well," said the "leg," "aint you going to bet any more?" "Nary red-Pinmlbroke-flat!" said Rough. The "leg" laid back in his chair, and in a tone of the most profound astonishment, said, " The deuce you are! And I pledged mnyself' to give you mnoney enoughw~ to carry you home, in case you got broke ?" " ou did that same, old hoss." " Where do you live " " At Brownsville, up the river." " What will it cost to take you there ?" " At the present stage of water, I think I can get up for about fourteen dollars." Such a shout as wecnt up at this juncture was never before heard within the wvalls of a faro ro.m !-while with great good humor, the "leg" eninted out the fourteen d olhars. " My friend," sahl he to Rough, "it is not every day one meets a patron like you. Go and. h alp your.self to another drink of branady, and a ei S gar. Whenever you come to towitagain, give us a call. Call often-you-will find the hatch-string out. I wish you a safe journey. Give myres pects to your witfe andl the children. Bye, bye I" "Rough didn't shrink aue iota from this rail lery, but took the proffered drink and cigar. " I say, said he, as lhe held the door ajair, "'I wish you better luck with the next green-looking cus tomer that comes along ; but before you make such a bargain with him, jest as4certain where he lives, anid the sizse of his pile!"-and so say ing, he disappear,-d amid the guffatws of the crowd, in which the dealer himself heartily joined. "Mr.-, I want to buy a shilling's worth of hay." " Very well, you canl have it. Is it for your father ?" " No, 'taint. It's for the hoss. Dad don't eat hay." The proprietor of a forge, not remarkable for correctness of language, but who, by honest in dustry had realized a comifortable independence, being called upon at a social meeting for a toast, gave 'Success to forgery.' Two Irishmen, on landing in this country, and sitting down to their first dinner, found on the table a dish of prepared mustar-d, which neither of them had ever happened to meet before. One of them took a spoonful at a venture, which quickly brought a deluge of tears to his eyes. " What are you crying about ?" asked his companion. " I was crying at the recollection of my po'or lather, who was hung ab~out 20 years ago." -The dinner proceeded, and soon the other made a dip into the mustard with a similar effect. " What are you crying about?" was the grave ingniry of his comrade. *"I am crying because you were not hung when your father was." As two of our children were playing together, litt!e Jane got angry and pouted. Johnny said to her, " Look out, Jrane, or I'll take a seat up there on your lips." '" Then," replied Jane, qjuite cured of her poufs, "I'll laugh and you'll - fall i." A gentleman who, under tjhe least excitement, would exclaim, " there's a crisis coming !" was considerably amused at being rvely informed by a little four' year old "son,' that the cry-aie ..d cma and w-a In Ihe bad with mother." ENTHUSIASue.-Wilson and Phinny are the leading members'of the Washington county bar. Sitting opposite one another at ihe dinner table -they are always opposite at practice at the bar in the court-house, and agreed as to the liar in the hotel-Wilson was describing the effects of a speech he made a few nights before at a great political neeting in the village where Phinney resides. "I ndeed," said he, "I never saw the people so filled with enthnsiasml" " Filled with what?" cried Phinney. " With entithusiasin." repeated Wilson. "1Oh, ah!" said Phinnev, "1 understand, but I never heard it called bj that name before; we call it' rum ?" An assembled family, as the legacy to each was read aloud, sobbed and wished that the father had lived to enjoy his own fortune. At last came the bequest to his heir: "I give my eldest son Tom, a shilling to buy a rope to hang himself with." " Would to God," said Tom, sobbing, like the rest, "that iy poor father had lived to enjoy it himself." " Did you not tell me, sir, you could hold th plough?" said the master. " ArrahI be aiy, now," said Pat: "how the deuce can I hould it, and two horses drawing it away from me? but give it ine into the barn, and I'll hould it with any boy." An itemizer, at a late evening sewing-party, reports that one lady made use of the excl.-ma. tion, "I thought I should have died !" one hun dred and twenty-eight times, and put the inquiry "did you ever?" one hundred and thirty-seven times. As indolent boy being axked by his teacher, who camio latest to school ? replied, "Indeed, sir, I can not say, for I did not g't here early enough to see." "Doctor, kin you tell what is the matter with my child's nose ? She keeps pickin of it.' "Yes marni, it's probably an irritation of the gastic mouns membrane communicating a sym pathetic titillation to the opthlaium of the echu rain." " There, now, that is just what I told Becky ; but she wouldn't believe me." " This is a net gain," as the spider said when he caught the fly. Traveler-How much do you charge for din ner?
