A beer-seller wrote over his door, ' Bear sold here.' An old toper, who saw it, eaid it was spelt right enough, because the fluid he sold was his own ' bruin.' A man died at St. Louis recently, and in his will, after stating that he 'never forgot a favor,' left 1000 dollars to an individual who, ten years beforo, ran away with his wife.
