Our Comical Progenitor.

A little fellow rushed into the street, recently, to look at a monkey that accompanied an organ-grinder who was playing in front of an adjoining block. Never having perused the “Origin of Man,” he gazed in wonder and admiration a few moments, and then rushing •into the house he met his grandmother, to whom he addressed this inquiry: “Grandmother, who made monkeys?” “God, my boy,” replied the old lady, in her candid way. “Well,” said the excitable grandson in rejoinder, “I’ll bet God laughed when he got the first monkey done !”—Norwich Bulletin. A bachelor, upon reading that “ two lovers will sit up all night, with one chair in the room,” said it could not be done unless one of them sat on the floor. Such ignorance is painful.
