SELECTIONS FROM HARPER'S DJtA WE It EOR OCTOBER. A gcntlc:ii:in just returned from an extended Western tour reports to tho Drawer, as in duty hound, the following as tving occurred in one of tho tlirif'icst town* in Minnesota:

A young lawyer, clever, hut slightly irregular, "having married a bright, sonsihl", plucky young woman, promised faithfully to abandon all sinful ways, and he very good. Thenew wife kejit her found husband pretty well in hand, and for months every thing was lovely. Hut meeting, in an unlucky hour, certain old cronies from a neighboring town, whom he had not seen sinco his nuptials, he yielded to importunities, unci joined them in "just one little tear." The tear was vigorous and prolonged, lasting until ever-so-many o'clock, when being in a condition of conceded fuddlement, he was led home by one of the troop, who, alter posiug him safely on his doorsteps, mgtno li -ll, ati'i ivirj ited soincwhit deviously to the opposite* side of the street, to see if it won id be answered. Promptly the porte was ou verted," and the fond spouse, who had waited up for her truant, beheld him in all his toddiness,

Why, Walter, is this you Yes, mvdeur." •. What in 1 he world lias k~pt yoivso

In one of Ihe western town of this State rc.-iMed bo.lie years since a somewhat noted character, called "The .M jor." When the local saving.- ink suspended piymcnt, and hundreds oi depositors lost their littleall, theM ijor, perhaps unjusily, was more bitterly accused of inalfeasaiico, as one ol its directors and lirgej't stockholders, thm any one else and ho was seriously advised lv his friends not to show liiiuself on the .street until the public indignation had somewhat abated, lest perdon il injurv sli'inid be inflicted upon him. Hul he Major was careless of pers mal consequences and so, the .Monday following the report of the collapse, h" sauntered down-toward the post-ollle

with, his usu nonchalant

mien, lie immediately found himself ]ursued by half a dozen clamorous people, including an irate Irishwoman. All oft hem accosted hint with reproches mid threats but the Celt, with all the volubility of her race, heaped the most furious reproaches upon liiin. "There he goes, the ould thafe!" she cried. Come back here, ye ould spalpeen, and give me back the bread ye've taken from the mouths of mo chillier!''

The object of theso attacks, not at all iseo in posed, laced about, and coaxiugIv said

Now, really, inv good people, you mustn't blame me about this sail atl.iir ofthesavings-bank. I hadn't any thing to do with it. 1 was as much surprised and grieved as any of you to learn it and, after all, you simple ereat ures you •don't seem to reali/.e half the truth ot this wrelclvd business. There's a •great deal more about it than the mere loss of your money, I can tell you."

The serious tone and solemn countenance of the speaker hushed the noise of his accusers, and one ot them inquired, in a more respectful voice, what he meant. "The miserable institution," burst forth th" Major, swelling with mock anger, it hroke on Sunday .1 list liink of it a bank breaking itself and the 'Sabbath a

Ile turned and walked rapidly away under cover of his astounding announcement, and was out of reach before it occurred to his pursuers that one of the Major's clever artitieos had been played upon them.

TIIKWK was onco an itinerant -eacher in West Tennessee, who, possessing considerable natural eloquence, had become possessed of the idM that he was also an extraordinary brblical scholar. I'nder this delusion iio would very frequently, at the close of his sermons, ask ayv member of his congregation who might have a knotty text to unravel, to announce it, and he would explain it at once, however it may have troubled "less distinguished divines." On one of these occasions, no one presuming to propound a text, he was about to sit down, when a chap "back by the door" aunoueed that lie had a Hible matter of great "concarn," which he desired to bo-enlightened upon. The preacher, quite animatedly, professed his willingnesi and ability, and the congregation was in great excitement.

What I want to know," said the outsider, is, whether Job's turkey was a hen or a gobbler?" The expounder looked confused, and the congregation tittep-d, as the questioner capped the climax by exclaiming, in a loud voice, "7 folched him dnuii at the fust question!" From that time the questiun-askipg was abandoned.

Now th it the oyster has resunu-d his pleasant position at table, let us tell the following of Thackeray Wh -n a dish of large-sized S.iddle-Kocks" was set for the first time before him, he i/.ed at them for several moments, and then asked what he was to do with tli'-in. lv.it hem, of course." "Oh! eat tlieni," said Thackeray, as if a new light had dawned upon him adding, af.er a pause, Well, le-re goes!"

When he had swallowed one, his friend asked hi in how lie felt wfter it. ,•/," said lie, a if a lowed a balii/!"

A mtiotiT young lady of Indiana, on hearing ot the approaching marriage of a friend, sat down and dashed off the following, to rid her mind of the consciousness of neglected duty:"

Some little time since 1 was employed, o:i behalf of the complainant, to prosecute a prisoner for stealing, and during the trial undertook to impeach tne testimony of one of the leading witnesses for the culprit. To do so I called, among others, 'Pom who at homo'was considered by his neighbors to be a knowledgable man," well posted in the law.

Judge ot the surprise and merriment of his hearers, and the consternation of myself, when, in answer to my quest ion, ''What is the character of the witness tor truth and veracity in the community where he resides?" he replied, with the utmost gravity: Had for truth, but good lor veracity!" An expression of hilarity lighted' up tli" general countenance then we all laughed.

SOME T'EEli DEFINITIONS.

Few persons are aware how much know ledge is sometimes necessary to give the 'etymology and definition of a word. It is easy ti^ define words, us certain persons satirized by Pascal have dotined light :—"A luminary movement (if luminous bodies or as a Western Judge once defined murder to a jury: "Murder, gentlemen, is when a man is murderously killed. It is the murdering that constitutes murder in the eye of the law. Murder, in short, is—murder." We have all smile! at Johnson's definition of net-work: "Net-work—anything reticulated or deenssed at equal distances, with interstices between tho intersections." Many of the ddilutions in our dictionaries remind one of irdolph's Attempt to analyze the term accommodation: "Aceonimodation--tliat is, when nun is, as they say, accomodated or when a man is 'being whereby be may be thought to be accommodated, which is an excellent thing." Brimstone, for example, the lexicographer defines hy telling us that is sulphur and thon rewards us for the trouble we have had in turning to sulphur, hy telling us that it is brimstone.
