send a dispatch to some fictitious name j

composed and forwarded the following: (

The operator at New York, not suspeeling

The Philadelphia operator replied f,
that " the young lady did not leave f,

The New York operator replied that ^
lie (* had already done so, but as there t|
were over fifty Joneses ir. the directory,
Lie was at a loss to know which one to tl
lend it to." s j
"If that is the case," says Thayer, t,
" you had better send a copy to each of ^

this afTafr, Mr. Thayer received the fol- 0

the operator at New Yoik, in the innoeence

patches, bat there was one sent to the a
residence of an elderly merchant by that
name, who, being away fiotn home
when it arrived, H was opened by his
wife, and waa the occasion of a very tin- V1
pleasant domestic scene. M. Jones has
been to see me in relation to the matte

Intemperance is the great progenitor of
dleness, vice, and crime of every kind.
Masonry wars against vice in all its
orins, and inculcates virtue and moraliy
in every lecture and lesson. We
herefore hold, that Masonic duty com>els
us to govern ourselves so, that we
nay lessen the demands upon us for
lid ; ami thus, while we decrease the
niseiy and want of our fellow creatures,
ncrease our own happiness. The in

iacounleanco and drive from our insti

ucli a drain upon our treasury. Let

should be the boast of every man that
he never put modesty to the blush, nor
encouraged immodesty to remove her
mask, no sensible person will ever give
countenance to woman's prudery so
common now a da\ s. Our modern

at the hare mention of a kiss! We
would not have a woman overlook the

is a certain dignity with which to show
that the offence has been noticed, more
potent than a million perl reprovaU, and
in all cases the intent of the oiTeudiug

A Quick litre n r.?A late well
known member of the Scottish bar.
when a youth, was somewhat of a dandy,
and soiueuliHt short and sharp in
his temper. He was going to pay a
visit in the country, and was making a
great fuss about the preparing and putting
up of his habiliments, llis old
aunt was much annoyed at all this bustle,
and stopped hi|n by the somewhat
contemptuous question, 44 Wham's this
your guan, Hobby, that ye mak sic a
grand ware about your claee!" The
young man lost his temper, and pettishly
replied, 44 l'in going to the devil."
4* Deed, then," was the quiet respoi.se,

To feel terribly beaten is a good sign ;
the more resources a man is conscious
of, the deeper he will feel his defeat.
But to feel unusually elevated at a vietoiy,
indicates that our strength did not
warraut it; that we had gone beyond
our resources. The bov who" went

cruwmg an me ciay through'the streets
on hming killed a squirrel with a stone,
showed plain enough that it was not a
general average of his throwing, and
that he was not in the habit of doing
so well; while the riflemen picks the
hawk from the distant tree without remark
or comment, aud feels vexed if he

How to no fr.?One of the writer's
school mates was always behind with
his lesson*; upon one occntibn his
teacher, in an academy in which he had
managed to obtain an entrance, was endeavoring
to explain a question in
arithmetic to liitn. lie was asked :
' Suppose you had onohnndied dollms,
and were to give away eighty dollars?
how would you ascertain how much
you had remaining!" His reply set
teacher and scholars in a roar; for,
with his own peculiar drawling tone, he
exclaimed,44 Why, I'd count it."
In Biiltany the peasent girls appear
011 fete in red under pe^c-oats with
white or yellow borders around them ;
the number of those denotes the portion
the father is willing to give his daughter,
each white baud, representing silver,
betokens a'hutidied Francs of rent ;
and the yellow means gold, and stands
for a thousand francs per year. Thus,
any Toiling farmer who sees n face that
pleases him, has only to glnnee at the
trimming of her peiiicont to learn in an
instant what amount of fent accompanies
it.
Gradual repentance is like a man
who wants to be taken out of a burning
buildiitg, but who says to -thoae
about liiin, " Now, don't tako me oot
too suddenly ; take me down first t<o a
room where it is not so hot aa it is
h$re| and then to another room, where
there is still less heat, and so take mo
out gradually." 'Why, the man would
be a cinder before you could get him
out. A man who wants to reform
should reform perpendicularly.
