Ask Ma.

A yonnster living on Mclntyte street asked this question one morning at the breakfast table: “Pa, how is it a jury can convict a man of manslaughter when ho killed a woman?" Pa, bolting his breakfast —“Ask your ma; she knows more about manslaughter than I do."— Eru-in ton Appeal Commodore Bainbbidge and 315 of his men were captured bv the Tripolitans in 1803 and remained prisoners for about nineteen months. His vessel struck on a rock near tjie shore and his capture was attended with no dishonor. W* are never so happy nor so unhappy as we imagine.- Every one complains of his memory; but no one ol his judgment.-— La Rochefoucauld.
