A Norristown boy wlro found a pocket book containing eighty five dollars, and returned it to the O\'io·ner, refusing a reward of five-cents for his trouble, explaining that many a man has been ruined by suddenly becoming rich. A village pedagogue, in despair with a stupid boy, pointed to the letter A and asked hirn if he knew it. "Yes, Sir." 11 \Vell, \vhat is it ?1' "I knO\V him very well by sight, Sir-but rat me if I can remember his nan1e." A lady living near Troy has a piece of soap supposed to be a hundred years old. Isn't it astonishing how long some people can keep soap in the house and never feel the slightest temptation to use it. Said a distinguished politician to his son : " Look at me ! I Legan as an alderman, and here I am at the top of the tree ; and what is my reward I Why, when I die, my son will be the greatest rascal in the city." To this the young hopeful replied : " Yes, dad, when you die-Lut not till then." A Presbyterian minister, while marrying a couple of his parishioner's, felt exceedingly disconcerted on asking the bridegroom if he were willing to take the womrn for his wedded w;fc, by his scratching his head and saying, " Ay, I'm 'vullin', but l'd rather hae her sister.' A ragged little urchin came to a lady's door, asking for old cloLhes. She brought him a vest and a pair of trowsers, \vhich she thought would be a comfortable fit. The young scrape-grace took the gar· 1nents and exan1ined each ; then \Vith a disconsolate look, S<lid, ""l'here ain't no \vatch pocket. i' "\Von't you cut open a penny for me, father?" said a little girl when she came home from school the other day. " Cut open a penny ? Wlmt do you want me to do that for?" asked her father. "'Cause," said the little girl, "our teacher says that in every penny there are four fartbi11gs, and I \Vant to see the1n. 11 "Why should Washington's birthday lJe celetnated any n1orc than mine?" asked a bachelor school-master of one of his class. A p;wse of several seconds' duration succeeded the question. When it was again asked, a bright little fellow held up his hand a.nd said : " I know; ht.cause you have no children, and he is the father of his country." A rude fellow in Yorkshire, who was brought before the Mayor for fj ome nocttirnal spree, was fined three shillings tor nine oaths uttered in defia11ce of legal warning that each one wot1ld cost him fourpence.
