It lis! true that the M slightly of Griffintown, but such men are exceptions to the rule. - As a whale, the knights of the road are jolly good fellows, everyone,' and we like thefr heaity hand shake, rollicking manners, and love of business combined with fun. Several of them congregated in the village of Mount Forest, or. Sunday last, and passed the day as all decent people do. In the evening howeyer, one of them a dominutive specimen of humanity, with more brass than brains, and bearing a close resemblance to Mr. Tappertit in Barnaby Rudge--and who has the honor of repre- senting one of the largest drug establish- ments.in Canada--sauntered round town, iu his peregrinations grossly insulted a lady walking in the street. No man was at hand, but a boy standing near became the champion of the outraged woman, and ex- pressal himself in terms rather more' terse than polite. Tappentit, feeling his physical advantage, rushed at the boy and knocking him over, retired to his hotel flushed with his double victory over ah uuprotected fe- male and child. The lad, disliking pub- lieity; declined to prosecute the jackanapes, as he deserved, and the boy resolved to turn over the affair to the big brother for future reckoning, but the matter was talked o | about, and chanced to reach the ears of some of the commercial men stopping al the hotel with Tappertit. Determined to be even withthe fellow. who had so die- graced their order, one of them went Up (© his room early next 'morning, telling him that a warrant was out, and that ha could only save himself by immediate fight. Shaking like an aspen; Tappertit at once threw lnmself upon the ready resources of his friend. A hasty breakfast, a quiet de- parture by the back dafr, and a rapid drive to Fergus were recomnjended. Tappertit acted as promptly as hig his shattered nerves would permit. Without venturing near the bar room, the bill was called for and paid, drug samples and all were hastily thrust into a trap in the rear of the premises, and our hero sneaked out of Mount Forrest, through its back lanegand streets at as rapid a rate as horse flesh could carry him. The other commercials followed, but not before calling at the telegraph office and, directing a message to be sent to the leading hotel keeper in Fergus, three hours after their departure. Then they followed their vic- tim in full cry, overtaking him after a Tine, and increasing his terror by telling him 'that Mount Forest was astir, that conslablés would soon be in pursuit, and that he would be nabbed unless using extraordinary ex- erfions. Extraordipary exertions were used, and the whip was plied with vigor. Every few minulgs the eyes of the fleeing Tappertit were turned to the north looking anxiously back for fierce pursuers and his gorgeous black whiskers were hidden fiom the gaze of every traveller he met upon the road, Fergus at length was. reached and the partyl pulled 1 its chief hostelry,, where mine host ¢,réb€ived them with his accustomed urbanityy? &v., &o. Tappertit breathed more freely, For constables had not been seen, angit waseale to register. With fiouieh e, entered his name, and with another "spread, himself in his usual style.

GENERAL LEE, ANECDOTE OF The editor of the Galveston (Texas) Civil- ian, in a letter from New Orleans, mention- ing an interview with Gen. James Long- street, stated that he ¢ heard [rom his own trothful tongue the folowing characterestic anecdote of Gen. Robert E. Lee. On one occasion Gen. Lee called Col. L. one of his stafl officers, into his tent, and commenced dictating while Col, wrote, Col. L., had in his mouth a pipe, and was smoking. The general inhale the noxious vapor until his patience became exhausted, and then smd : ¢ Col. 1L., you can retire, and send me Col, M. ; he does pot smoke." Col. L., retired, and in a few moments Col. M. entered, to whom the general commenced dictating, but after inhaling the atmosphere of the tent for a while, he discovered it to be consider- ably impregnated, not with the perfume of ses, but the odious smell of villainous | whisky, which he could not stand. ¢ Retire, Col. M., and send me an officer who nei- ther drinks nor smokes ; 1 would rather en- dure the smoke of tobacco than the smell of whisky." YOU CAN'T CATCH IT, You can't catch it, boys orgirls.

Returning, he found Rataplan with his chair nlted back, hat cocked fiercely over his right eye, his heels planted on thistle's polished desk, and a lighted cigar between his teeth. Thistle looked a litle staggared, but nevertheless he commenced :-- ¢1s Mr. Bigher in ? ¢ Yes, he is,' responded Rataplan, blow- ing a cloud of pure Connecticut into Thistle's eyes. ¢ Who in thunder are you ?' ¢ I represent the house of Chistle Bros, & Co." said the astonished employer, cough- ing out about a quart of smoke from his throat, ¢ The blazes you do ; concern ?* ¢ No, sir, 1 am not,' said Thistle. ¢ Well, it's lucky for you that you are not for 1'veshad two drummers to one customer in my store for the last two months, and 1f I could get hold of one of the blasted fools that send em out here at this time, I'm darned if T wouldn't boot him clean out of the town of Sellont. ¢ That'll do, that'll dé, Mr. Rataplan,' said Thistle; ¢ I have no doubt yod did the best you could for the interest of the house, Trade 1s ja little dull.>~Commercial Bel- letium, are you one of that 'GO ON, SIR, GO ON! Arago says in his ¢ Autobiography,' that his master in mathematics was a word or two of advice which be found in the binding of one of his text-books, Puzzled and dis- couraged by the difficuities he met with in his early studies, he was almost ready to give over the pursuit. Some words which he found on the waste leaf used to suffen 'the cover of his paper-bound text-book caught his eye and and interesied him. ¢ Impelled," hie says, ¢ by an indefinable curiosity, I dampened the cover of the book and carefully unrolled the leal to see what was on the other side. It proved to be a letter from D'Alembert to a'young person disheartened, like myself, by the difficulties of mathematical study, and who had written to hjm for_counsel.. £ Go pn, nir ga on," was the counsel which D'Alembert gave him. ¢The difficulties you meet will re- solve themselves as yon advance.
