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

Married and Single Men -A cotemporary very sensibly remarks, that there should be some means of distinguishing single from married men. Unmarried females are known by the prefix of Miss to their names, but all men are styled Mr. How much unnecessary trouble and solicitude might be spared to the anxious mothers of mariageable girls could they make their distinction. How very annoying to a mother and bevy of girls, after laying themselves out to please some " nice young man," to hear him accidently allude to his wife! This subject really demands attention, and we think that the girls should suggest some plan .by which these disappointments might be obviated. We think there already exists a mode in which single men can easily be distinguished from married ones, by ladies of discernment. , It is by paying a little attention to the conversation and manners ofgentlermn. There is an ease and grace in the manners of married men. a sensibleness and wnnt

of flutter in their conversation, which enable them to be readily distinguished in a mixed company. Unmarried men may be distinguished by a general "greenness," a certain frivolousness of conversation, and a peculiar flutter of deportment, that nothing but matrimony can entirely cure. He had him there. Almost all sects have occasionally been persecuted for, their peculiar belief, and even good Emanuel Swedenborg is not an exception. A son of Erin once accosted a reverend disciple of Swedenborg thus : Mr. , you say we are to fpllow the same business in Heaven that we do in this world V Yes, that is in perfect accordance with reason ; for the Creator himself is not idle, and why should his creatures be?' ' Well, thin, yer honor, do paple die there V 1 Certainly not they are as immortal as the Creator himself.' ' Thin, I should like to know, yer honor, what they'll find for me to do, for I'm a grave digger in this world.' Go Ahead. What a go ahead people we are in this country? A young couple in a railroad car out west begged the engineer to stop a moment, until a clergyman married them. The cars stopped, the parties stood up, the knot was tied, and the bridegroom cried, Ring the bell, Mr. Conductor.', Sleeping Out. Bemus,' said Jemima and the dark eyes of Jemima were bent upon Bemus 4 You've never been to church with me ; will you go to-day V Thank you, replied Bemus mildly ; I never sleep out.' . A Vegetable Friend. -Bemus asked Jemima, a few days since, if she had seen her ' vegetable friend.' My vegetable friend ! Who is that V 'Why, the young man I met you with yesterday, who has carroty hair, reddish whiskers, and turnup nose.' ' Very Singular, Indeed. If is a singular fact, that the age of but one women is mentioned in the Bible at the time of her death ; and this gives U3 scripture authority for not being too inquisitive about the age of a woman. A weeping willow is growing up in the Washington Navy Yard, which was brought from the tomb of Napoleon on the Island of St. Helena. It persists in refusing any kind of consolation,, poor thing! ' Be-warel' as the potter said to the lump of clay.. I'll be burnt first saucily responded the mud.

Enoch says he knew a man who sat up all night because he couldn't decide which to take off first, his coat or his boots ! Virtue is the queen of laborers; opinion, the mistress of fools ; vanity, the pride of nature; and contention the overthrow of families. At the late celebration of St. Patrick's day by the young friends of Ireland, this toast "was given : 4 Woman She needs no eulogy; she speaks for her self. ,' Giving and Receiving. There is frequently more pleasure in giving a thing than in receiving it. This applies more especially to Medicine, Advice and Kicks.
