A Lady told her servant to awake her next morning at six, as she had something to do at that early hour. " Certainly, ma'am, I won't fail. You have only to ring the bell, and I'll be down in a minute." , m The Proper Place tor Him.—Judge Dowling, of New York, loves, it seems, a practical joke, which, however, is often no joke to the prisoners. In a case of wife-beating which recently came before him, the following is reported:— " How came your husband to beat you ?■" " Underneath where we live there is a dance-house. I was told my husband was there, and I took a woman with me, and we went and looked in. My husband saw me, and soon came up to our own room, where he beat me and smashed the furniture." "It was not a proper place for her to go to," spoke up the husband. "It was a proper place for you, I suppose ? " suggested the Judge. " Any place is proper for men." "Do yon really think so ? " " Yes, sir." <• Well, tlien, I'll send you to the penitentiary for three months!"
