AJfD FU.. A little nonsense, now and then, . ' I relished by the wbiest men." . THE COBBLER'S SECRET. A warmish cobbler, once in Rome, . Pus tort h a proclamation. s .. , i ! r That he'd be willing to disclose, For due consideration. A secret which the cobbling world C'ould ill afford to lose The way to make, in one short day, A hundred pair of shoes. From every quarter to the wight 1 There ran ft thousand fellows,Tanners, cobblers boot-men, shoe-men, Jolly leather sellers, All redolent of beer and smoke, , ... And cobbler's wax a .id hide; Each fellow pays his thirty pence, And calls It cheap beside. Silence! the cobbler enters, ":-- fl And casts around his eyes, Then curls his lip the rogue then frowns, And then looks wondrous wise. My friends." he says, "'tis simple quite, The plan that I propose, And every one of you, I think. Might learn it if you chose. A good sharp knife Is all yon need In carrying out my plan; : i v.i.TV 80 easy is it none can fail, Let him be child or man. 1 To make a hnndred pair of shoes, rj. ( , Just go back to your shops. And take a hundred pair of .boots '.. : And out off all the tops!'.' . , . . x , tu ' ' - ' ' ' ' ' : .-..' TV.. A reverend sportsman was, once boasting of bis infallible skill in find-, ing a bare. " If," said a Quaker who was present, " I were a bare, I would take my eeat in a place where I should be sure of uot being disturbed by thee from the first of January to tho last of December." "'Why, where. would you go?" ; "Into thy study." , ... " Pray, Miss C," said a. gentleman, the other evening, "why are ladies so fond of officers?" "How stupid!" replied she ; " is it not natural that a lady should like a good offer, Sir?' f 44 Husband. I don't know where this boy got his bad temper;-1 am' sure not from me." " No, my dear, for I don't find that you have lost any,"; . Lucy Stone says, 41 The cradle, is a woman's .ballot-box." Then . we've known some unlawful voting, where two ballots vf&e deposited at a time,

It is said that a person fond of good fruit rarely becomes a .hard drinker; The two tastes are antago nistic. The eulture of cood fruit ought then to go hand in hand with temperance reformation. ' .-: i . A "Moving "Story. ' ' ' The " local ': of the "Buffalo 1 Commercial has been moving.' -Hear him ; Yesterday was the 1st of i May, and everyb'""1' except those who were so unloiuate as to own their nouses thereby being liable at any time to be sent to State Prison for the taxesmoved.' f - - ! ' We moved. ) ' And it was the movingest sight we oversaw. ; ' ' Our readers ought to have seen the scene. v!- -; "' : ,t,: Our tolks ' commenced pulling up and tearing down the traps a week aeo. - : ' ' " ' ', Jlost of the "plunder " was thrown Into a bean and lumped off into loads, with a' total disregard of ordinary rules. .... .. . . -- The naracoric and hive syrup vials were packed iu our new :hat one of 3IcKmzie's latest and best. The castor bottles were placed. m our boor, it beiDgso handy to carry them by the loop. 1 he stopper came out 01 the one containing tomato cat sup, and the top of tha mustard con ccrn was broken off, , -- That is the best seasoned tyairof boots we ever had. v, The other family insisted on com int: into the house before we got out. Andjo the -things got mixed up some. . But we "got all that belonged to us, at least. The cartmea , , swore , because . the cook-stove was so heavy, and one said td d if he'd have it if we offered it to him."- - ; '-- ": Didn't ' offer it to him, but offered both of them a drink out of a quarter barrel of ale, nearly full, standing in the kitchen. - They took it very kindly, but it made em thirsty all the forenoon. Guess the spigot must have got out of the barret on tho road, for we couldn't squeeze half a glass outlast night. ' , . -V , . . Finally cot moved. ' Thoucht we'd have our supper be fore tackled the .bedsteads . and back room stQve. Better "half, with patch! of soot on her nose, said supper was ready. She was mad, because when she asked us to bring home a keg of soft soap, we proposed an amendment, substituting a keg of powder : and a slow match. VTc hate soft soap have used so , much of it every day in noticing men and things. . . ' . Sat down at the table and toot a "in of inn that was handed to us. ; Thoucrht it tasted' strangely, and rro?nected the bottom -of the cup Found the brimstone ends of three broken matches. Didn't drink any more tea. Came near braking one of our teeth ' on a carpet tack in - the butter, and thousrht we d hnd Wnrcr cnouch. Commenced .playjug put .up bedsteads. Its fun, when you like it.But people don't like it. mostly; None of the blasted rails would fit! Got the wrong' ones in -, the wrong posts, and couldn't screw thcii up. , Marked them all with a pejcil before we took them down, and thousrht we'd know how they went together I again; but somebody wiped the marks all out. And there we were. Better-half suggested that one at our time of life ought to have more patience, and gave it as her opinion

that we " couldn't swear the bedsteads

together. Found we couldn t. Finally got . 'em up four of 'em and commenced putting the cords on. Cords broke, and we had to tie them together. - The knots wouldn't slip around the pegs, and we couldn't draw the rope tight. '; . . More remarks trom the children s mother on the subject of profanity. Didn't pay any attention to her, and thus succeeded in getting through with the job. . t . , ; : . 1 hen went down and harnessed the stove., ' V The Ieit3 all fell out when wo tried to lift it onto tho zinc, but eot it into position at last. .. . - '. - -. Two lengths and one elbow of the pipe missing.

Got the tobacco can', but on ascer taining that the salt cellar had been emptied into it, made up our mind that we wouldn't smoke.
