Pat in a hobble. — An Irishman got out of the cars at a railway station for refreshment, and unfortunately the bell rang and the train left before he had finished his repast. " Hould on !" cried Pat, as he ran like mad after the train, " Hould on, ye nmrtlierin old sthame ingin — ye've got a passenger aboard that's left behind." The 3 oung man who went on a bridal tour with an angel in white muslin, has returned •with a termagant in hoops. A gentleman, whiskered up to the eyes, was passing, along the street, when a couple of jolly tars on a land cruise observed him. '' Shiver my timbers, Jack," said one to the i other, '' that fellow looks like a rat peeping ' out of a bunch of oakum."
