Langa and Grow Fat. For thc especial benefit of those who like a " little fun now and then," (slid in our heart we pity the man who is not included in this class,) we devote this corner this week to a selection of amu sing anecdotes, and odds and ends, that must, for thf time being at least, banish ..?ll thoughts of THAD. STEVENS, Nigger Bureau1, Test Oaths, and all such hell hatched torments. Read, and drive dull care away, ever bearing in mind the old couplet that " Car? to our cotna add? a nail, no donht ; And every griu so merry, draws one out." u Our earth as it rolls through it? regions of space, Wears always two face*-the dark and the sunny,, And poor human lHe runs the same sort of race, Bctig .?ad on one ?"ide-and on thv other side runny." Fun at Home. Don't bc afraid bf a little fun at home, gooil people. Don't shut up your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your heart lost a hearty laugh shake down some nf tho minty old cobwebs there. If yon want to ruin your son?, let them think that all mirth and social enjoy munt mint he left on the threstadd without, when they come home at night. When once a home is regarded as only n place to eat, drink and sleep in, the work begins that ends in gambling houses and reek less dissipation. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere; il they donor find it at their own hearth stones ir will be sought at tither and per haps les? profitable places. Therefore, let the lire hum brightly at night, and inake the homestead delightful with al those little arts that parents perfectly un diTstaiid. Don't repress thc buoyant spirits of your children ; half an hour of merriment round the lamp and fire-lighf of a home blots out the remembrance of many a care nr.d annoyance during lite day, and the. b?st safeguard they can tak with them into the world is thc unseen influence of a bright little domestic fire side. " A Rich Case* A Boston medical man was nicely taken in by one of the Broadway dandies last summer. Dandy was on a visit to tlie M Hub of thc Universe," and went it toe strong on cucumbers and ice cream. Got '. tuck" with the cholera morbus. Wen: to bed and sent, for a doctor.

Taking hold of the delicate hand ten derly, and feeling the pulse, he asked of the groaning patient : '; Have vott been suffering in this wav long?" ta Only a little while." murmured th. patient in a whisper. 11 Where ts the most pain?"' continued the disciple of ^Esculapius. " Right here-oh, oh !" and the patient laid a white hand over the part whicl? contained the cucumbers. " Spasms, frequent pains ?" " Yes, yes ! Oh-oh, doctor, I shall die!" 44 Are you regular in your habits ?" "Yes, sir, very. Oh-oh-doctor, J shall die ! " Oh no, you will not die. It is rathei a hard case. May I ask if you are mar ried !" '.No-oh-Oh!" gasped the sufferer, blushing^ in agony. " Then I a"m indeed, indeed sorry foi you;" said the doctor. "But it is my duty to tell you that you will very soot, be a mother !" "A mother! Damnation, sir, a moth er! ' cried Charles Augustus spas nodical, ly. 4-Do yon ktiow who I am, sir? Mt ft Mother? Why, sir, I belong to the Sevet.t i Regiment, National Gi a ds-h i.v? tbught, hied and died for my countiy. ! am a man, sir, a whole man !" The doctor was for a moment silen1 with astonishment. At last he said : " Man or no man, you have all th symptoms of approaching confinement' " it's nothing but cucumbers, lobsters and ice-cream !" groaned poor Charle Augustus. The doc tor now opened his eyes, and administered mustard within and mustard without. The consequence is that Charles Au gustus yet lives, and there is no "chili of the regiment" for the gallant Seventh. N. G. The P-House, Vicksburg. Missis sippi, ts undoubtedly thc best h-?tel ia :he city, and presided over by n very fin< Southern gentleman, latea Colonel in the so-cailed C. S. Army. At meal-lime ? noticed that instead of printed " bills for faro," the Colonel sta tioned himself at one end of the dining room,-and bi a voice loud enough to be heard far outside the room named over, for the information of his guests, the ar ticles that had been prepared for the table. The great novelty of this procedure in duced me to ask the Colonel how thc habit originated. He replied that, some years ago, he kept a hotel in Tallahassee, Florida, and entertained a great many members of the Legislature, and as the members could not read, he had to resort to this measure-a habit which he had c-incc carried out from choice. u Do not take that egg. The hen will not lay without you leave one egg in the nest," said a mother to a child five years old. " Do they keep the egg for a rat tern, mother ?" asked thc child. 1 was in Grant's army (writes a soldier.) operating against Vicksburg. MTherson had already dossed the river near Grand Gulf, mid in action with the enemy had taken quite a number of prisoners. As they were being sent to Ohl Gump, at Young's Point,* they passed our division. One of the prisoners was a great, raw boned, giant sort of ?u fellow, und attract ed the notice of .ill us " Yanks." Many were the remarks made to him of both a pleasant and ari insulting nature, but he seemed indifferent to all. When just op posite where I was standing the prisoners were halted, and feeling full of fun I j thought I would have some sport with the fellow above-mentioned. Stepping up to him, followed by quite a number of my comrades, I said : . " How are you, Johnny ? Where you 'going?" " Up North, you old foo], where all Southern gentlemen go for their health #nd pleasure in the summer time!" Tbc "Uff" WM on oie, ?I A son of the Emerald Isle havi: joined thc i.rmy, leaving his wifeuvMei phis, was surprised on his return, at t expiration of three years, to find th ! she had gone to St, Louis.

Of course thc dryness of the reina: added to its spice, and it was rcceiv with shouts of laughter; but when ord ' .vas restored Breckenridge returned tl 'mw in the same manner, and said, quit " I have." Poindexter, went up. There was i suitable retort to be found. A bashful youth was paying his a lresses to a gay lass of the country, wi had long despaired of bringing things ' a crisis. He called one day w hen si was at home alone. After settling tl merits of thc weather, (he girl sa d, loo mg slyly into his face : " J dreamed of you last night." " Did you ! why now !"

A doctor lately informed his friends, in a large company, that he had bec-.n eight days in the country. " Yes," said one of the party ; " it has been announced in the Times."
