A FAMILIAR FACE.

. ~* A story is told of a former JucJge of a certain Court in Bay State, whose hair was whitened by thn frosts of nearly seventy winters before ho left the bench. Entering a Boston and Maine Railway car one day, he saw but holf a seat vacant, and that by the side of a pretty young lady, gorgeously arrayed. The Judge was a great admirer of the ladies, and he immediately started for the seat. " Ah ! beg pardon, madam," said his Honor, "but is this seat engaged?" " No, sir," modestly replied tho fair occupant. The Judge took the seat, and on glancing again at tho dazzling beauty by his side, he thought he recognised in her a lady he had met somewhere, but yet could not tell when or where. Finally he ventured to nsk. '• Madam," said his Honor — " Your face looks very familiar ; I must have met you before, but really I cannot recollect ." "Yes," answered the bunch of roses at his side — " Yes, ! old buster, likely 'nough you have ;| iit was only in June you sent me tip j for thirty days, and its already oleven times you've sent me up for simple drunks." Exit the Judge. { IT IS OEN'IIUALLY ADMITTED I)J' GVPrj'body who lias visited Jacobs' Athenaeum Bazaar, that it is the only shop in town j th«t contains a good and complete assortment of Fancy Goods and Jewellery suitable for Presents, Birthday Giftc, or Wedding Presents.
