Head and judge for yourself: When the celebrated " Copenhagen Jackson" was British Minister in this country, he resided in New York, and occupied a house on Broadway. Neil, one night at a late hour, in company with a bevy of rough riders, while pass ing the house, noticed it was brilliantly illuminated, and that several carriages were waiting at the door. "Halloa!" said the wag, what's going on at Jackson's?" One of the company remarked that Jackson had a party this eveuing. "W hat!" exclaimed Neil; "Jackson have a party, and I not invited! I must see to that." So, stepping to the door, he cave a ring, which soon brought the servant outj "i want to see the iiritish Minister, said Neil. "You must call some other time," said the servant, "for he is now engaged at a jatne of whist, and must not be dis puted." Don't talk to me in that way," said MeKinnon, "but go directly and tell the British Minister that I must see him immediately on special business." The servant obeyed, and delivered the message in so impressive a style as to bring Mr. Jackson to the door forth with. "Well," said Mr. Jackson, "what can be your business with me at this time of night, which is so very urgent?" "Are you Mr. Jackson, said JNeil. "Yes, sir, I am Sir. Jackson." "The British Minister?" "Yes, sir." . "You have a party here to-night, perceive, Mr. Jackson. "Yes, sir, I have a party." "A large party,-1 presume." "Yes, sir, a large party." "Playing cards, I understand?" "Yes."

"Nonsense!" cried the Yankee, taking aim at him; "I am a good marksman. You set too low a value upon yourself.

Correct Sentiments. At a public "Tea Party," recently held in one of our country towns, where "sentiments" were in order, a timid bachelor was bold enough to remind the ladies that leap year was upon them, by offering the following: Three long and weary years I Lave waited for this, Now if you'll pop the question, I'll surely say yes. To which the lady promptly responded as follows: The maa without courage to do his own wooing, May do his own washing and baking and sew ing. The bachelor looked despair. A vender of "notions" was of fering Yankee clocks, finely varnished and colored, to a lady not remarkable for her personal beauty. "Why, it's beautiful," said the vender. "Beautiful, indeed! a look at italmost frightens me," said the lady. "Wal, ma'am," replied Yankee, "I guess you'd better buy one that hain't no looking-glass!" The lady called to her maid to bring the old broom from the kitchen. And Yankee having a knowledge of broom handle virVues, and not wishing further experience in that line, thought it best to beat a rather hasty retreat.
