A Tory paper sarcastically announces thafc Mr Gladstone is about to be raised io .the peerage, with the title of Barren SeSsi6n: " Mamma," said a little girl, " what is tho meaning of a book being printed in 12mo ?" " Why, my dear," replied the mother, " it means that the book will bo published in twelve months." Romantic Amelia (wedded to tho young doctor, Celadon) : " Look, Celadon — such a beautiful sunset ! Tho sky is all crimson !" Unromantic Celadon : " Ya-as — appears to have had a mustard plaster on!" — Punch. An American paper, says that a team of horses, ; becoming frightened at the elevated railroad, ran away, and a policeman endeavoured to stop theni. The coach was broken, one horse nearly killed, and the badly hurt, " but the olevatcd railroad was uninjured."
