THE UGLY CLUB.

The Now York Evening Post has quoted the following news items from its columns of 100 years ago: — TJRIy Brothers hither fly. With you brluß the varying eye, Bring here cock-eyes, and eyes askance, That cannot pass one tender glance, Biing Roggle-eycs, and piercers, too, Ejes, green, white, red, black, and blue, Bring witn you the eagle's sight, To 6ee your heart and keep It right: But bring short-sighted eyes to spy "The mote that's in your brother's eye." The members of the Ugly Club are directed to attend a special meeting at Ugly Hall, No. 4, Wall-street, on Thursday evening, the 12th inst., at 7 o'clock, to take into consideration the propriety of bestowing some suitable mark of distinction on a member, who lately, while viewing himself in the secretary's Ugly Mirror, was so much pleased with his own ugly phiz that he involuntarily let fall the glass, which was dashed to pieces, and exclaimed, " I shall yet be president of the club." The astonishing fortitude of this ugly member, in the frequent and public acknowledgment of his natural deformities, deserves the highest commendation. The members are requested to be punctual in their attendance, as the new members elected at the last meeting, and six members of the Ugly Beauties, are expected to appear. The propriety of admitting ladies into the club will be discussed. By order of his Ugliness, 11th May, 1814.

Suspiciouß Mn,mma— Ethel, what detained you at the door just now, when Mr. Spooner went away? Ethel (smoothing her rumpled hair)— Nothing to speak of, mamma.
