Having stated the facts .] as he witnessed them, Mr. M. was handed over to tlie plaintiffs counsel for cross examination. The counsel was of a notorious per- i son age. lately on the Fillmore electoral ticket, a Mr. Youngman, of an adjoining village. " Mr. Mcginnis," he began, with n pompous look, " please to remember that you are npoti your oath, and then repeat the statement that the prisoner was drunk." 1 " I will, sir," replied Mr. M.; "to the best of my knowledge and tlie evidence of my senses, he was intoxicated." "Ah ! your senses, eh ?" said Youngman, with a sneer; " and what might be the evidence of your senses ? Pray explain." " Well, in the first place, be staggered to my sight, smelt to my olfactories, and uttered language in my curs, like nothing but a drunken man." " Humph ! the first two amount to nothing. "What did he say that appeared incoherent I" "Why, he declared you were an honest man," said Mr M. 44 What 1" cried Youngtnan,44 do you mean to insult me?" "By no means, sir," said Mr. M. in all suavity, and .with a bland smile peculiar to himself; "but 1 have so ire(iiiently heard him call you a scoundrel, that I am confident nothing but whiskey could havc so radically changed his opinion!" Printers' Jokes.?During the Mexican war, one of the newspapers hurriedly announced an important item of news from Mexico, that General Pillow and 37 of his men had been lost in a bottle. Somo other paper informed the public, not long ago, "That a man in brown surtout was yesterday brought before the police court on a charge of having stolen a small ttx from a lady's work bag. The stolen property was found in his waistcoat pocket." " A 4 rat? " says another paper,44 de 8cendiug the river, came in contact with a steamboat; and so serious was the injury to the' boat, that great exertions wore necossary to save it." An English paper once stated,44 that the Russian General Rackinoffkowskv was found dead with a long word in l his mouth." It was perhaps the same paper that. | in giving a description of a battle be-1 t ween the Poles and Russians, said that! 44 the conflict was dreadful, and that the enemy was repulsed with great laughter" Again : 44 A gentleman was ycstcrdav brought up to answer a charge of 1 1 ( o i ( o having eaten a stage driver, for de-| mantling more thsm hi.s fare." A i.oxo winded, prosy minister, in | Connecticut, becoming very unpopular with his parishioners, some of the! lioys clubbed together to have a dish of sport with him ; tor that purpose, on j Sunday morning, two or three hours l>efore meeting time, they carried a small stray pig into the pulpit, left him there, and shut the door. The deacon appeared, and t?>ok his scat beneath, with a sanctimonious face, not knowing but all things were in decency and order about the sacred desk; at length the preacher arrived, ascend-j ed the pulpit stairs, and opened the door, when the pig darted out between his legs, and tumbled hitu down to the deacon's seat, when ho bawled out: "I believo the devil has pitched mo over, instead of the deacon." The deacon responded with his large open mouth, and well strained eyes: 44 We-ll-e; Hallelujah ! Amen."

I want to know if it is so ?'* "Why, certainly so," replied tho Colporteur. " Well, I wouldn't have thought that l any lxsly could believe such as that." 44 And pray, madam," said the Cob i porteur,44 let me ask what you believe j on the subject ?
