I ascertained that Jonks was to be one of the managers?he being a great ladies' man, (011 aocouut of his whiskers, I suppose,) and ifcoceurred to mo that before the ball took place I might as well call for my whiskers. One morning 1 met Jcnks in a barber's shop. lie was adonizing before a large flrtpSftj-Apd combing up my whiskers at a "Au ! tbero you are old fellow," said lie, speaking to my reflection through the glass. ' "Come for your whiskers, I suppose ?" uOh, no "hurry," I replied, as I sat down for a shave. "Always ready, you know," he answered giving a/final tie to his cra^pt. "Cqme to think of it," I said musingly, as theliarbar beganJo put the lather on my face, "perhaps now would bo as good a tiiuo ^another ; you may sit down, and let the.'ba?ber try his hand at the whiskers." i "You couldn't Wait until to morrow, could you ?" he asked, hesitatingly. There's n ball to-night you know? "To bo sure thero is, ami I tliink yon ought to gp^Jtith a clean face ; at all events I don'tseo any reason why you should except to wear my whiskers to that ball; so sit down.

The Englishman's Snuff-Box, The French papers have not, under tlx influence of the alliance, ceased to have their jokes upon Englishmen, and one o the drollest is told as follows, by the Union Kretonnc, from which wc translate it Lord C , well known for his ec ccntrieities, went lately to the establishment of one of our most celebrated workers in fancy articles. "1 want you to make me,'* said ho, "a snutV-box with a view of my chateau on the lid." "It is very easily done," was the reply "if my lord will furnish me with tho de> ' I will ; but I want also, at llie entrance of my chateau, a niclio in which , there shall he a dog." ' That, too, shall be provided," answered the workman. "l>ut 1 want also that some moans shuld be contrived by which, as soon as no one looks at the dog, lie shall go bad into the niche, and only reappear when lit is no longer looked at." The workman looked inquiringly, as il to ascertain whether his customer was no! the victim of some mystification. Ue-as snred by his examination, and, like a clever man, understanding how to take advantage of the affair, lie said to tho Englishman : What you ask of me is very hard tc comply with ; such a snuff-box will b< very expensive; it will costa thousand crowns." "Very well ; I will pay you a thousand crowns." "Then, my lord,it shall be made accordingly to your wishes, and in a month 1 shall have the honor of delivering it tt yon." , A month later the workmen presentee himself to Loid C "^ly lord," said he,, 'iicic is your snuf box." Lord C look it, examined it, anc said ; "That is my chateau, with its tur rests, and there is the nicho by the door way. Hut I seo no dog." Did not your lordship," said the work man, "say that you wished the dog to dis appear when he was looked at ?" "I did," replied his lordship. "And that he should appear when he was no longer looked at T' "That is true, also," was the reply. "'.Veil," said tho workman, "you ar< looking-nt it, and the doff has cone in'r the nifchc. Put the box in your pocket ami the dog will re-appcar immediately.1 Lord C reflected a moment, and then exclaimed, "All right, all right." II< put the box in hi& pocket, took out one o his pocket-books three bank-bills of a thou sand francs each, and handed them to tin skillful workman. "Tub Mystery" ok the Sexes.?Then is an endless mystery between tho sexes They have,in their most educated state, nl least very little notion of one another. A woman briira forth a man child, and to hoi dying'day TOvcr, understands the mnn.
