WITHERING POLITENESS.

A hansom was being driven along a lead’ tag thoroughfare at a pretty smart pace, when another, coming from the opposite direction, ran into it with just sufficient force to lodge the head of one horse on the back ol the other. The expected outburst of strong language not take place, but the dr. vei of the hdnsom that had been run into sat still, and with withering politeness observed to the other driver: “ When your horse has seen all he , wants to see across my horse’s back, perhaps he'll kindly get down. But there’s no hurry. glad to see him and the gentleman that bolds the ribbons.”
