A jet's prosperity lies in the ear Of him that nears it never in the tongue Of him that makes it." Love's Labor Lost.

A Horse Crawling through a Post. A storyis told of the late Rev. Mr. Sprague, of Dublin, New Hampshire, which sets the remarkable simplicity of the old parson in a very ridiculous light. Paying a visit to one of his parishioners, he threw the bridle off his horse and over the post of a rail fence near the house. During his stay, the animal managed to disengage the bridle from the post and get it under his feet; seeing which, a servant girl drew the reins through one of the mortices, and over the top of the post, in the form of a noose. The parson coming to untie the horse, was indescribably astonished to find the bridle which he had simply thrown over the post, thus passed through one of the hole's. This beats all!' ejaculated he to himself ; ' 1 never saw the like of it in all my life before ! To be sure we read of a camel going through the eye of a needle but this was in days of miracles. No, no, I never saw the like of this before !' He examined it anew : he tried to get the bridle out, but it surpassed his ingenuity. 'Yet it must be,' said he, the horse has actually crawled through the post-hole ! there is no other way to account for it!' Full of this impression, and despairing of making the animal retrace his steps, he pulled out his knife and was about cutting the reins, when the same girl, perceiving his quandary, released the horse and explained the mystery. But if the simple parson had been astonished before, he was no less so now, to find his own penetration surpassed by that of a servant girl. Hey, girl V said he, ' I believe you're right; but how in the name of wonder

should a girl like you, know more than a man of

my learning? It s astonishing! marvellous! miraculous !' Dennis, darlint, Dennis, what is it you're doing?' 'Whist, Biddy, I'se trying an expirament !' ' Murder ! what is it?' What is it, did yer say ? Why, it's giving hot water to the chickens I am, so they'll be afther laying boilded eggs !' An. Extraordinary Charge. Every man likes being taken for a gentleman, and yet no man likes being charged for one in a railway hotel bill. Punch. Dr. Franklin used to say that rich widows were the only piece of second-hand goods that sold, at prime cost. Very Exemplary Folks.; It is said there is a cordwainer in Lynn, so temperate that he will not use a punch ! AUo a young lady who is so much opposed to all bondage that she cannot conscientiously bind shoes !

' Did you know I was here ?' said the bellows to

the fire., ' Oh, yes ; I always contrive to get wind

of you ;' was the reply.

A Poser. The Providence Gazette asks ' If a

men gets too lazy to draw his last breath, can he

die V

Here is a conundrum for you, girls. Why is the

price current like a young lady's back? Because it shows the rise of cotton.

Woman have more strength in their looks than
