KNOW-DE-DE-DE BEAK’S GREASE?—COMPRENNY ?—Bear’s Grease!”
A HAPPY STATE.
“ At length,” said
an unfortunate man
who had been ruined
by vexatious lawsui ts,
“at length I have
found happiness, for
I am reduced to Ne-
cessity,—and that is
the only thing 1 know
of which has no Law.”
Horticulture in
the Army.—Marti-
nets appear to con-
sider that the Flower
of the British Army
is the Stock.

Toppes, Esq., on his
hay mare, tak es a pike.
A Landlord’s
Question—How is it
that waiters at the
Cock are generally

Smoker.—The Bull-
finch, in a state of
| nature, does not sing
much, but indulges in
a short pipe.

-—A teetotaller is a
person who eats his
toast and does not
drink it.
Law.—It requires the permission of the Court to commence
an action in forma pauperis, but to finish a law suit in forma
pauperis is often a matter of course, and, therefore, no per-
mission is required.
Cottage Economy.—To have plenty of meat in the house,
keep pigs : when you kill a pig you will not only have meat
enough, but also a sparerib.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
Said a Chemist to his wife,
“ What is Sugar, dearest life?
That is more than you can tell me, I ’ll be bound.’’
“< >h! ” said she, “ you stupid man,
Get along!—of course I can ;
Fourpence, fivepence, sixpence halfpenny a pound.”
Miscellaneous Tables.—To Calculate Wages.—Add to the
sum paid in money the amount produced by perquisites, mix
up the kitchen stuff with the quarter's stipend, and the result
will give you the wages.
The Uses of Adversity.—Men are frequently like Tea—
the real strength and goodness is not drawn out of them until
they have been for some time in hot water.
