Cookey’s Awful Vengeance.

An original method of wreaking vengeance on an unfaithful lover has been adopted by a deceived damsel. The man was a tailor aDd the woman a cook, who, when she heard that the gay deceiver had given her up for a spruce dressmaker, armed herself with a pair of big scissors and a l>ottle of vitriol and proceeded to the lodging of the false-hearted swain. What she would have done had she met the tailor in the flesh can only be conjectured in a vague and speculative manner, but it happened that he was out, so she set to work on his Sunday clothes. These she pulled out of the wardrobe wherein they lay, strewed them on a table and cut them into ribbons with her scissors. She next sprinkled vitriol over the lot and treated the tailor’s socks, shirts, and pocket h&hdkereniefs to • viciqui touches of the same corrosive substance.* 'then she went away satisfied, but was arrested the next morning;-ac-cording to a legal phrase rather appropriate to the circumstances, “at the suit” of the tailor.— London Telegraph. ■ Fender son —l don’t like your friend Brown. He is positively rude.' He went so far last evening as to tell me I was a jackass. It was entirely uncalled for. Fogg'—l agree with you, my boy. It was entirely superfluous.— Boston Traveller. , - 4 bash intruder— Measles.
