The Fifth of November. To us, to whom the tradition has come slowly down, and has had time to cool, the story of Guy Fawkes sounds rather like a tale, a fable, and an invention, than true history. It supposes such gigantic audacity of daring, combined with much more than infantile stupidity in the motive-such a combination of the fiend and the monkey-that credulity is almost swallowed up in contemplating the singularity of the attempt. But a poetical mind cannot help pursuing the effects of this tremendous blowing up, this adjournment in the air sine die. It sees the benches mount-the Chair first, and then the benches, and first the Treasury bench, hurried up in this nitrous explosion the Members, as it were, pairing off; Whigs and Tories taking their friendly apotheosis together (as they did their sandwiches below in Bellamy's room). Fancy, in her flight, keeps pace with the aspiring legislators she sees the awful seat of order mounting till it becomes fairly fixed a constellation, next to Cassiopiea's chair —the wig of him that sat in it taking its 0 place near Berenice's curls. But. blessed be heaven, St. Stephen's walls are still standing, all her seats firmly secured nay, some have doubted (since the Septennial Act) whether gunpowder itself would be able to shake any one Member from his seat. CHARLES LAMB.

Slight Misunderstanding. They had been engagedjust seventeen min- utes by the clock, yet for the last three-seven- teenths of that period there had been a proud, scornful look upon her fair face that was calculated to wither the orange blossoms. 0 "I can't imagine, dear," he said, sadly, what has come over you so suddenly. I simply asked if you were romantic, when-" Oh, George, forgive me she exclaimed, with a convulsive sob, as she threw her arms about his neck, I thought you asked me if I was rheumatic."

Help Yourself. Out-of-Town Friend- Say, old man, where is the best place to get umbrellas ?" 0 New Yorker, —" Oh, a large reception or a club-meeting."

A Witness. A lawyer for the defendant was trying to cross-examine a Swede who had been sub- poenaed by the other side as a witness in an accident case. Now Anderson, what do you do ?" asked the lawyer. Sank you, Aw am not vara well." I didn't ask you how is your health, but what do you do ?" Oh, yas Aw work." We know that, but what kind of work do you do ?" Puddy hard work it ees puddy hard work. Yes, but do you drive a cab or do you work on a railway, or handle a machine, or work in a factory ?" Oh, yas Aw work in fact'ry." Very good. What kind of a factory ?" It ees a very big factory." Your honour," said the lawyer, address- ing the Court, if this keeps on, I think we shall have an interpreter." Then he turned to the witness -1 Look here, Anderson, what do you do in that factory.-what do you make?" he asked. Oh, yas Aw un'erstan'; yo want to know vat Aw make 'n fact'ry, eh ?" Exactly. Now tell us what you make." I make five shillings a day." And the interpreter was called in to earn his salt.

"Hark, Hark." Hark hark the motor's spark, There are heaps of them in town. Some go pop and others stop, In time they all break down.

Railway Lines. Ride a Cock Horse to Charing Cross, To see a "Director" ride the high horse, With rings on his fingers and"Bell" on his toes, He won't "recognise" wherever he goes.

Up to Date. Early to bed and early to rise, May once have made people rich, healthy, and wise But at present the man who would fain make his mark, Has got to keep bustling till long after dark.

The Scorcher. I am monarch of all I survey, My right I let no one dispute Let people get out of my way When I warn them by giving a toot. I frighten the fowls from the farms, With goggles I cover my face Ignoring the countrysides's charms, I go as if shot into space. I'm out of the constable's reach Before his authority's shown With a whirr and a rush and a screech I pass ere my number is known. I frighten the beasts of the neld If children too tardily flee I can't pick them up to be healed, Their agony's nothing to me. I leave crippled poultry behind, And swerve not to left or to right; Men curse me, hut I never mind, In a moment I pass from their sight. I scatter dusb over the land And leave a foul stench in the air; There's nothing on earth that's as grand As to go like mad and not care. --+--

His Own Interest. Here is a good darkey story. A lawyer was consulted not long since by a coloured man, who complained that another negro owed him throe dollars, a debt which he absolutely refused to discharge. The creditor had dunned and dunned him, but all to no purpose. He had finally come to the lawyer in the hope that he could give him some good advice. What reason does he give for refusing to pay you ? asked the legal man. Why, boss," said the darkey, he said he done owed me dat money for so long dat do interest had et it all up, an' he did'nt owe me a cent."
