An Irishman was directed by a lady of large size to secure and pay for two seats in the stage coach, as she wanted comfortable room in riding. The fellow returned and said, “ I have paid for two seats you tould me to; but as I couldn’t get but one for the inside of the coach, I took t’other for the outside.” We recommend the following toasts to be offered on great occasions : —‘ ‘ The army—may it never be so rude as to turn its back upon an enemy.” “The navy—may it never be * at sea ’ in the performance of its duty.” “ May the hair of friendship never be cut by the scissors of adversity.” “May the face of good fellowship never be washed by the waters of oblivion.”
