THE OLDEN TIME.-A writer in the
Evening Gaze/in speaks of "the le?
monade and syrups which our good
old grand-mothers found sufficient
for their refreshment." Humbug!
There was as much drinking at even?
ing parties sixty years since as now
a little more so. In those days every
gentleman had liquor on his side?
board, of which each visitor was in?
vited to partake; uud gentle dames
laced' their night-caps with Jamaica
rum or French brandy.
The latest pin which disrespectful
Uritons have attempted to stick into
the bladder of royalty, is a comic
cartoon ridiculing and rebuking the
Prince of Wales. It represents the
Prince ns Hamlet, struggling violent?
ly with a paternal-looking John Hull
as Horatio, who vainly tries to re?
strain him from rushing after tho
ghost of that rake and roue, George
IV. Tho Prince gazes earnestly after
the ghost and cries, "I'll follow thee!"
"Do let me have your photograph, "
said a dashing belle to a gentleman
?who had been annoying her pith his
attentions. Tho gentleman was de?
lighted, and in a short time thc lady
received tho picture. She gavo it to
the servant, with tho question,
"Would you know the original if he
should call?" Tho servant replied in
the affirmative. ' 'Well, whenever he
comes, tell him J am engaged."
"Why, Mr. B-," said a tall
youth to a little person, who was in
company with half a dozen huge
men, "I protest, you are so very
small, 1 did not seo you before."
"Very likely," replied the shorter
gentleman; "I nm Uko a sixpence
among six copper pennies-uot easi?
ly perceived, but worth, the whole of
them."
CONCESSION IS AGITATION.-Sam
Slick says: Concession never stopped
agitation since the world was first
squeezed out of a curd-it only feeds
it. Throwin' .slops to a varmint only
brings him back again: and when
you have nothing more to throw 'om,
they are plaguy apt to turn and taro
you to pieces.
He who weds a belle must lookout
for tho clapper-this never is seen
uutil after the ring. Be sure to as?
certain whether the young lady ia
"sound" on such things as pie
making, else your house will be all
pi at a timo when it will be impossi?
ble to "set 'em up again."
BOLD MAX.-Miss Buchanan, ouci
rallying her cousin, au officer, on hi.
courage, said, "Now, Mr. Harris, dr
you really mean to tell mo you cai:
walk up to a cannon's mouth without
fear?" "Yes," was tho prompt re
ply, "or a Buchanan's either." Am
he did.
"Well, wasn't that a finished sei?
mon we had this morning?" askei
ouc person of another as they cami
out of church. "Finished!" wa'
thc reply; "yes, it was fiuishei
at last, although I began to thinl
it never would be."
SOLACE ron THE CHILDLESS.
Prentice very truly says "if thi:
country gots to bo much worse ti
live in than it now is, all births wil
probably, at no distant dav-, be pub
fished under the head of .'Disasters.' '
Hero is au amended quotation, b;
a married man, who has been waitin;
for his wife "to put her things on:"
Hope springs eternal in tho husband'
breast,
Wives never are, but always to bo drcss'd
The way they weigh hogs ii
Kansas is as follows: They first ti
thc hog to one end of a rail, balanc
the rail ou a fence with rocks tie
to tho other end, and then guess ho'
much tho rocks weigh.
The world estimates men by thoi
success in life, and, by general coi
sent, success is an evidence of supt

A rascally old bachelor says tl

the world is to take the jaw out of

It is recorded as a singular fae

A few clays since, a hive of bees was
beiug conveyed through Winchester,
Massachusetts, in a cart, when the
cover of tho hive was by uccident
shifted. The bees in escaping, be?
came enraged and stuug the driver
of the cart, and he beiug enraged in

A despatch from Washington states
that a report is beiug ruailc up nt the
Treasury, showiug that there are
over 20,000 officials connected with |
the department, through its varied
revenue branches. 20,000 officiais in .
a singh; department of the Govern- '
ment! This number is nearly double
the strength of tho grand nggregate j
of the army of tho United {Slates at .
the commencement of tho war.
RICE IN MISSOURI.-In some parts !
of Missouri the people are beginning
to cultivate rice in the woods without j
clearing off the trees, and, in fact, ?
without deadening them. The dead |
leu.es aro turned tinder with a bull
tongue plough wherever it is praeti
cable to do so, and the ric?; planted.
Fair crops aro raised in this way.
CHASE'S INCO>I7E.-S. P. Chase pays
tax on an income of $700,000 per
year. Wheu he went to Washington,

Ho has been a lucky financier for

BRONCHITIS.-The Boston Post
snappishly says two clergymen in that
city have discovered that they ure tho
victims of bronchitis. The doctors
say the only cure is a month in Paris.
Of course, they are $5,000 preach- i
ers. Bronchitis won't touch brethren I
on low salaries.
Lord Lyttleton proposed a most
extraordinary amendment io thc
English Reform bill, which, it' it
