She Sat Down on Him.

There is a pushing young painter who loves to wear long hair, and who is hot apparently an enthusiastic supporter of Pear’s soap; and this young painter has a very profound belief in himself, and his own charms, and his own genius, and, above all, in his power of captivating the hearts of the fair. The other evening our young painter found himself dining at a friend’s house, next to a very attractive young lady, whom he promptly endeavored to impress as much as possible. After telling her all about himself, and his pictures, and his talents, he finally informed her that he should never marry. “Why not?” inquired his fair companion. ’“lf I did marry,” the young painter replied, “I should make so many women unhappy.” “I should have thought you would only make one woman unhappy,” was the young lady’s prompt comment, which reduced that long-haired egotist to silence. He does not like that girl now, and avoids her when they meet.— Whitehall lieview.
