" Habit.—How great is the, force of habit! A reporter writes a love story, in which the hero "clasped the prepossessing girl to his bosom, and spoke substantially as follows." ' Guarded.—" Were you guarded in your conduct while in London ? " asked a father of his' son, who had returned from a visit to that city. ';" Yes, part of the time by two policemen." A Western payer has this delicate personal item:—" Those who know nice old Mr Wilson, of this place, personally, will regret to hear that he was assaulted in a brutal manner last week but was not killed." : . . ; The fountain of perpetual youth, it is thought, has at lastleen discovered. • By buttermilk are we all to live everlastingly, At least, a member of the French Academy read a paper before that great and. learned body, th.c other day, asserting that, this of the churn contains an acid which destroys the incrustations that form on the arteries, castings, and valves of the heart, and that a constant use of it would prolong life far beyond the allotted three-score and ten yers.

The Major accompanied by his better half and a six-shooter, called on the editor to complain of the poetical nature of the i mage. On learning that the lady was the one he had described, the editor besough her to raise her veil. She did so, adding, "Now, sir, I expect you to apologise.'' "Apologise I I should rather think I would," was the answer, as he seized his hat and rapidly left the room. ; The astonished Major rushed to the window. " Stop, you, sir ; you haven't apologised ! " "All right, I'm going to do it in a minute! •' "What do you mean?" shouted the Major, accentuating the note of interrogation with a pistol bullet. The answer was wafted back from round the next corner— "Can't you see I'm looking for that cow!" HollOWay'S Pills.- ■ Stomach, Liver, and Bowel*.
