It is told of a young lady in Newark that when her jealous admirer sent back letters with a request that she would return his, she answered that she regretted that she could not comply immediately, as she had lent them to a young gentleman to read. " Bill Jones," said a bullying urchin to another lad, next time I catch you alone, I'll flog you like anything."— " Well," replied Bill, *' I aint often much alone-^-I commonly have my legs and fists with me."
