A confirmed bachelor happening to see a lady looking at a picture representing 0. man on his bended knees before a beautiful woman; indignantly exclaimed : "Before T would bend 'my knees to a woman, I would go and bang myself. Do you not think it would be tbe beßt thing to do, madam ?" "It would certainly be the best for the woman," was the sarcastic reply. Mrs Bliffera : "An agent for a new burglar alarm was here to-day, and ,1 told him to " call when you were at home." Mr Bliffers : « Huh 1 Burglar alarm ! There is nothing in the bouse to Bteal." "No ; but when the neighbors hear that we have fitted up^ our^ house with burglar alarms, they- will think we have something to steal, my dear !" To avoid getttng wet feet.— Don't go out. Ia the captain's gig drawn by the sea horses ? When the case is urgent it is a nigh and near doctor that you want. " The iron entered into my soul," as the man with tha nail in his shoe said. _ ~ "It seems to me I have seen yonr face before." ''Quite likely. That's where I carry it."
