The most laconic love-letter—a note of admiration (!) ' : • <■ - : - . A nice young man kept looking 'nto the window of a married lady at Her lodging -house until he saw her shake a - hankerchief, when he called at her room. After being picked up at the bottom of the stairs, and having his bones set, it was explained that she was only shaking some apple peelings from the serviette. Her husband says she did perfectly right in hitting the •visitor with the-water jug.;; , A reasonable refusal.—At the time of expected the beginning of the : century, 1 some of the town magistrates called upon an old maiden lady of Montrose, arid solicited her subscription to raise men for the service of the King. " Indeed," , she answered' right sturdily, " I 'll do nae sic thing ; I never could raise a man for niysel', and I'm no gaun to : raise men for King George.''
