Too Much Fun. He took the paper, and I watched, And saw him peep within ; At the first line he read, his face ' Was all upon a grin. He read the next, the grin grew broad, And shot from ear to ear ; He read the third ; a chuckling noise

I now began to hear. The fourth ; he broke into a roar ; The fifth ; his waistband split; The sixth ; he burst five buttons off, And tumbled in a fit. Mrs. Partington on Mustaches. Them musty

what-do-you-call-ems you may think look well

enough,' said Mrs. Partington to her nephew, who

had returned Irom a voyage to Havana with nis mouth covered with a profusion of coarse yellow

hair ; ' but you had better shear 'em off before you're seen round much;' and she looked mysteriously at him as she continued, ' It may have a bad

effect on the children, dear, as it did when Mr.

Brown built his catacornered houses, where don t you think, three hundred and fifty little innocents

in the neighborhood was born with cross-eyes !

You had better cut 'em off that there may be no danger there's no knowing what might happen :'

and the old lady went on explaining me circum

stance of the cross eyes, and cited Jacob's sheep in

evidence of certain causes producing certain effects.

Married, yet no Wife. The Providence Star tells of a singular divorce case that was decided be

fore the Supreme Court of the btate last week.

One Mr. R. petitioned to have the bonds dissolved between him and his lady love, on the ground that

he was a husband only in name his wife granting

him nothing more than the simplest platonic prive-

leges. I he ladv, it came out on evidence, married

for the sake of oompany, but had no idea of taking

any of the responsibilities of the married state; she

had no taste that way, and so to render assurance

doubly sure, at night she would tie herself up in a canvass bag, to guard against accidents! The court took pity on the poor fellow and gave him a

chance to try his luck again, by granting- the pray

er of his petition. Jrhiladelphia limes.

Be Easy. A Frenchman, who was totally unac

quainted with our language, being lately introduced

to a circle of young ladies and gentlemen ot Boston after the usual compliments had passed, seated him

self beside a young lady, and, being deprived of the

satisfaction of conversing with her, ( his counten

ance, however, expressed the emotion of his heart,)

he seized her by the hand she requested him to

be easy which he mistook for the Trench word laisez, ( kiss me,) and began kissing her to the mirth

of the whole company. The consequence was that

the ladies came to an unanimous determination nev

er to say "be easy" to a Frenchman.
