(Collated from our Exchanges.)

i A gentleman addresses another gentleman whom he doesn't know, at a party— " This affair is awfully stupid ; let'sgo and take a drink." "I would like to-'do'it," was the reply, " but I can't leave very well." u Why not?" "Why, you see, I am the one who is giving the party." A young lady in the East-end ate half a wedding cake, and then tried to dream of her future husband. Now she says she would rather die than marry the man she saw in her dream. A man who had signed the . total abstinence pledge was detected in violating it. " Why," eaid his friend, " I thought you were a teetotaller I" "So I am," said he, " but not a bigoted one!" A good little boy who was kicked by a mule; did not say naughty words or go home crying to his mother. He just tied that mule within five feet of a behive, backed him round to it, and let him kick.
