WILKINS ACCEPTS.

Ilob Crandall was a notorious blower, und wa« constantly boasting of his luxurious living. To believe him, one would think he had turtlo soup and salmon and peas all the year round— wilh whom delicious game and the choicest of earth's fruits were the most common things in the world. He was profuse in his invitations to friends to dinner, but they, understanding his weakness, refuse!!. Ouo day, however, after an extra spread regarding luxuries he had purchased at the market, including venison, he concluded with ho customary invitation:

Come, Wilkins, go up and dine with me. You don't get venison every div."

SVilkinswashisshopmatc, a droll sort jl of fellow, and,after seeming to hesitate a bit. he replied: "Well, I don't know guess I will. This is fast day at my boarding houso. Tliank you."

JLlob's face lengthened perceptibly, but ho tried to appear cheerful. The attempt was a failure but the invitation was accepted.

At one o'clock they started for Dob's house, which was some distance away, and every step they took seemed to him to bo on nettles. At last says he:

I've just thought that, as this is Friday. Mrs. Crandall may have postponed cooking the venison 1 bought this morning till to-morrow. Shouldn't wonder if we had to dine on iisli but sardines will not be bail."

Wilkins assured him that he liked nothing better than sardines indeed, lie should prefer them to venison.

Upon reaching the house there was an ancient and lish-liko smell prevadingthe premises, at which Hob's face instantly brightened.

I told you so," said he, "smell 'em?" Wilkins replied in the nfTirinativc. "There's no woman in this place hatcooks sardines better than my wife," said Hob, and he looked as it ho challenged the world to compete with Airs. C.

Wilkins was introduced. Make no apology for the dinner, my dear," said Bob "my friend Wilkins is very fond of sardines. Serve 'em up."

Dinner was accordingly served, and there, smoking hot upon tho table, was a couple ot rusty sale mackerel, boiled

LARGE FOOT.

One day, near the close of tho late uncivil war, the two armies were confronting each other, and exchangingartillery compliments as opportunity otfered. A Lieutenant Smith, in tho performance of his duty, was engaged in managing the gun of which he had charge, lie was ordered to direct his lire upon a rebel batter}', and had loaded his piece, and was just read}'to discharge it, when tho rebols, with a disregard of tho proprieties of lifo most painful to contemplate, turned their lire directly upon him. Like a prudent man and a good olllcer, Smith incontinently tied, and shelved himself in a bomb-proof. Now, you know, Smith is rather tall, and much space is required for tho accommodation of his person. Hut by dint of hard squeezing he stowed himself away, shielding every part of his body except one foot there was no help for it—that had to remain exposed. (.Jeucral Lee, reconnoitering the works of the Union army, east a glance upon tho position occupied by Smith's gun. After gazing a moment, he seemed to see something that attracted his close scrutiny.

Hand me a Ueld-glass," said he to a xnldicr standing by. Through tho glass he looked long and earnest lv, and at la.-t lowering the glass, said, sadly:

I can't make it out." Tho soldier took the glass, squinted at the mysterious object, and said, rather contemptuously, "That, why, that's a man's foot!"

What cried tho general. A man's foot," repeated tho soldier.

You don't mean that any mortal man has a foot like that exclaimed the venerable chieftain.

Certainly I do, general he's one of Iho new recruits they're sending down by thousands."

The general sighed deeply, and rode awav, exclaiming! If the United States are sending forward men with feet like that, and bodies of proportionate si/.e, theContederacy must go down

The next day Lee's army was surrendered.

A oay ot,n Fki.i.ow.—Old (Jran'ther (iravling is soinewhero in tho vicinity of ninety-seven, and yet he is ono of the most vigorous old fellows alive. One night, in Munroe's grocery, he disclaimed all the infirmities of age, and to confirm what lie said he then anil there danced a double shufllo in the most youthful manner, putting in the heel and toe with vigorous elasticity. He holds rheumatic people in half contempt, never feeling a twinge. A few days since he visited a neighbor who he heard was sick.

Halloo!" cried he, as he nailed, iu, "what's the matter?" «, rheumatism, gr.nn'ther!" was the replv "oh-h-h! thai twinge?" ivlieuin itism said the old man, iu a tone of contempt "what do you want to hive that for? I used to have it when I was cussed young whelp of about t»iau v-tive, but I soon outgrew it." lie spun round the room as he said this like a teetotum, while his friend lay groaning.
