" A jest's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that hears it never in the tongue Of him that makes it.11 Love's Lafor Lost.

"In a Horn." Some years ago the expression in a horn,' was in common vogue, particularly among the b'hoys' of that day. A Frenchman but lately come into the city, and speaking not very intelligible English, related to an American his sufferings about 4 in a horn.' 'The first day I arrived in your vare fine city, I see oue small sans cullotes, oh ! vare smal little boy wis papers in his hands. I say Leetle garcon, where abouts be da Park Hotel City?' ' , He say to me, Dam! who you call gosoon? You find de park in a horn.' 1 tink what ' in a horn' mean ; but I no find him out may brain in. So I go a little further, and 1 speak to one man in de street, who go thump, thump, wis a big baton you call him one paver. I say 'Sare, you can tell me where Broadway street be, for I , loss my way V He say, You old ass jack, you old quiz, dis be Broadway in a horn.'

I tink and tink, but I no comprehend what it

mean. What can him be 'ma horn. It must be

some great man, or some great ting in de city ; so

I stop and ask nudder man and 1 say lo him What mean dis ' in a horn V

' He look at me, he put one finger at his nose,

and he say ' ' You one dam ole fool, in a horn.'

' Den I get mad I find my way home, I go quick

to my room, and I take my book dictionaire, and

look for ' horn.' Sacre ! I find him belong to one

cow, one goat. Den I recollect I was onedamquiz,

and 1 trow down the dictionaire, I jump on him, and

1 say, You go to one devil, in a horn.' A Parting Scene.

Irishmen, generally speaking, are not noted for

any great forethought concerning their ternpora

welfare, but any thing relating to the spiritual they

exhibit an unusual share of shrewdness, as ulustra

ted in the following. case, which occurred on the

frontiers of Maine, between Jemmy McGee and Pat McGlarkin.

Pat being called to visit his dying neighbor Jem-

m McGee, and hear his last words of farewell be

fore ' shuffling of this mortal coil,' he donned his best suit of clothes and smoothing his usual cheer

ful phiz into unusual gravity, made his appearance

at the bedside of his old friend. Upon meeting

him Pat exclaimed

Well, Jaimy, I understand the doctors have

given ye up.' ' ' Yes. Pat, it's most over wid me.'

Pat, after a pause ' Well, Jaimy, ye havn'tbeen

a great sinner ye 11 goto the good place.

Oli, yes Pat to be shure I stole some of the

government timber. Pat, tokiug Jemmy's hand, and assuming a dip lomatic air

Well, farewell to ye when ye reaches the

vgood place tell them you're well acquainted wid

Pat McGlarkin.'

Here'-JPat starts for the door, but, as if suddenly

thinking of Jemmv s dishonesty in stealing the gov

ernment timber, he wheeled around to his friend

and seriously and earnestly exclaimed

But, Jaimy, if any thing happens to ve that ye

should go to the other place, tell them ye don't

know a divil a word about me. A friend of ours says he always looks under the marriage head for the news of the weak. Ladies! he's an old bach ! A Billet Doux. 'Bill, you young scamp, if you hud your due you'd get agood whipping.' 'I know it, daddy, but bills are not always paid when due.1

Relationship Accounted For. The ' Hartford

Courier thinks the reason why some young ladies

are saluted as ant Susan, ant Mary &e., is on account of their shape so nearly resembling that of the tight-laced insect mentioned. A Tipler's Reason A tipler being asked the reason of his incessant use of ardent spirits, said, 'to get the cursed stuff out of the, country.'
