A Model Shoemaker’s Bill.—
The following is said to be a true copy
of a shoemaker’s bill, received by a
gentleman in a neighboring town, whose
family consists of four or live daughters:
Mr. Dr. to J. S.
To souling Miss Mary, $1 22
To stamping and welting Susan, 25
To binding and closing Ellen, 13
To putting a few stitches in Jane, 6
We wonder how the girls feel “about
this time,” as the almanacs have it.
Mrs. Harris says her “darter Jane
was married only a little over a year,
when she had “two boys, both sous.”—
Smart gal, that Jane.
The Pass Word. —Mr. Lord tells
a good anecdote of an Irishman giving
the pass-word, at the battle ofFoutcrey,
at the time when the great Saxe was a
Marshal.
“The pass word is Saxe; now dont
forget it said the Colonel to Pat.’
‘Sacks! faith, I will not; wasn’t my
father a miller?’
‘Who goes there?’ cried the sentinel,
after he had arrived at the post.
Pat looked as confidently as possible,
and in a sort of whispered howl replied.
‘Bags, your honor!’
The Providence Mirror announces
the marriage of Mr. James Bee to Miss
Martha Flower, of Athens, Pennsylva
nia.
Well hath the little busy “Bee,’’
Improved life’s shilling hour;
He gathers honey now all day
From one sweet chosen ‘Flower,’
And from this hive if Heaven please,
He’ll raise a swarm of little ‘Bocs.’
“First class in sacred music, stand
up. How many kinds of metres are
there?”
“Three, sir; long metre, short metre,
and meet her by moonlight alone.”
