According to Hacler, (an authority) a single female house-fly will produce m one season 20,080,320 eggs. It is a pity a fly couldn't be grafted on a hen. A young New Yorker, who is paying his addresses to. a lady-love, stayed so late a few evenings since, that the family were compelled to whitewash the walls next morning, to obliterate his shadow. A good little boy who was kicked by a mule, did not say naughty words or go home crying to Ira mother. He just tied that mule within live feet of a beehive, backed him round to it, and let him kick. Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who hath not very often said, This night before I go to bed, • • I'll call and pay the printer ?" Ob, there are many we kuow well, But then their uaines we will not tell, And when they die they'll go to— well, A place where there's no winter.
