A COVTKNTBD VAGABOND. Some officious police officer- ~i.n- Birmingham, not loii£ ago, arresfe 1 a man named Poole.; .Mr Marcus said the man was s>ij? feet long, and broad in proportion, sittinn; on a door step, endeavoring- ta memd his tartered corduroys with a need'e and a piece of twine. His head and feet wjre bare, and the only article of clothing about him,, except his pants, 'was a very diity shirt. He protes'ed before the magistrates that: he was comfortable— that i he wanted neither work, fool, nor clothing. When allusion was made to (he scanty stock of the latter, he said. "Upon my word and honor fi couldn't bear another rag on me. Hnbil's everything. Look at Adam and t'other ■postlps, how dye 'spose they stand it? The thinner you learn to dress yourself, the nighcr you come back to a state of innocence." Fire is a good thing in the house but it should always be in the chimney, and not in the wife's temper — cooking the victual, not grilling the husband.
