Hemp and 'Musketoes. Steamboats have their troubles as well as other folks. Like printers and doctors, they have to. turn round - very often for nothing. The ' dear people', have been told it was ' no trouble to show goods,' till they believe it. See what it's coming to. . , On her last trip up the Missouri, the obliging Henry'Bry was hailed by a green looking customer at an obscure landing, and rounded to, supposing he wanted to take a passage. The boat swung round, puffing, hoarse and impatient. V '. - Halloo, Capting !' - V v Coming aboard V ". .' :'- No, but I thought may be somebody there .might be travelling up to buy hemp, and I'd jest ax you.' The Henry Buy gave a snort and a lunge enouge to break her boilers, as she turned on her keel and got under way again the 'great hanged' .hemp man swearing that she had no accommodation' about her; :. '- . ". . -. . ' ; ". :' . . . ... Capt. Luke had nearly - forgotten the incident, when some distance from Glasgow deponent saith not- where a" man was observed standing on the river bank, beckoning, as it seemed,' most seemingly, first with one hand and then the other, beating the air before his face, and looking intently towards the boat.: Again the polite Henry Bry, fetched a circuit of some half a mile, and came to.' 'Halloostrahger what do you want V " - 'Nothing!! . . -v- . . ., ; 'What in the ("using.a bad word this time,) did you. make signs for?' .' Only keeping the musketoes oft' to see what boat that was!' . - Somebody gave a toast that' evening 'Hemp and musketoes the worst take-in on the" river.' ' Card Table Signals Never play at whist when a man and his wife are partners. They always have family telegraphs, or else a key to each other's words. ' I found that out at Snook's. I never could win a game with Snooks "and his wife. . By great perseverance I found out their secret. If Snooks wished his wife to lend, or to play a diamond, he' would say "Dear, its your play;" and you know both dear and diamond begin with a d. If a spade was wanted to be played, he would say " Mrs. S. go on' if a heart, it was" Harriet, my love,-we're - waiting for your card if he wanted a club, he. would, say, " Come my dear, don't let us wait." Thus it will be seen that men and their wives are altogether too familiar to be partners in a game of whist.-; . "- , The Key. Father Hurley one day, in a sermon to his parishionerst repeated the trite quotation that " all flesh is grass." The season was Lent ; and a few days afterwards he encountered Terence O' Collins, who appeared to have' something on his mind. . ' The top o' the mornin' to your;riverence," said Terence, "did I understand your riverence to say ' all flesh is grass,' last Sunday V ' . .- . t ?Urely 1 li.d".rePlied. the father ; '" do you doubt " Sorra a bit would I be afther doubting anything your riverence says : -but if your riverence plazes, I wish to know whether in this Lent-time, I could be afther having a small piece af bafe, by the way of a salad ' ' . "We; cut the following from an exchange paper Sarah my dear"said a waggish husband to his wife, ' if I were in your place, I wouldn't keep that babe so full of butter as you do.' . Butter, my dear, I never give it any butter.' 'No, but you poured a quart of milk down it this afternoon, and trotted it on the knee for. nearly two hours.. If it dosen't contain a quantity of butter by this time, it isn't for want of churning. : -

Shakspeaee Frenchified. A Frenchman, who aspired to do .the -leading parts in an English theatre gave the. following as a specimen of: his abilitv to play Richard.the Third: :". -.

But, spite of all domestic law, ' !' : That bell will toe the mark !"; - . '' . Jemiima and Bemus.- ' I dont like to play forfeits," said Jemima, u and have all the fellows kissing me it' makes' me common property.'.' " Nothing is common that is dear,' meekly responded Be mus. . What " Mean" Means. " Is Mr. Brown a man of means ?" asked a gentleman of old Mrs. Frizzletop, referring to one of her neighbors. " Wall, I reckon he ought to be," drawled out the ancient beldame, " for he's the meanest man in town. - Temperance in ' Boston. There are no licenses granted in Boston for the sale of ardent spirit. But: it is asserted that the boldness of traffic is more, apparent than when licenses were given and regulated. No man feels called upon to use any disguise in the sale or use of liquor. It is thought there never was a time when so much intoxicating liquor was drank in Boston as; at present. A Lamen-table Pun ! What must you do to a Tea-table to make it fit to eat. Give it up. Why take away the tea (T) and it becomes eatable. : A French Yankee A Frenchman was recently seen bargaining for half a dozen sheep. " What are you about ?" said a friend. "I have heard say," replied Monsieur, "you must ' buy sheep and sell deer.1 I shall buy de sheep and sell de venison I" . Among the advertisements in the Times we read that, " Two sisters want washing," and that "A spinster, particularly fond of children, wished for two or three, or any other employment. The following is a literal copy of a birth announcement sent the other day to a provincial brother of the "press ." On Sunday Last at his Residence Mrs. Of a Sun and Air." Pleasant Amusement - Ma'am, cousin Bill he's in the parlor with sister Jane, and he keeps biting her.' ' What, William biting my Jane V Yes'm I seed him do it ever so many times ! bite her right on the mouth, and the tarnal gal don't holler a bit mother.' Ah never mind, Ned, I guess he didn't hurt her much.' 'Hurt her, cracky, why;, she loves it, she does ; cos she kept a letting him, and didn't say nothing, but just smacked her lips as if it was good, she did. I seed it all through the key hole.
