SPAKKS  AND  SPLINTERS. 
A  Youxo  Lothario,  imicli  given  to  moonlight 
strolls  expresses  the  opinion  that  “■  to  llirt"  may 
bo  ])!irseil  as  a  •‘  fme-night  verb.” 
A  WITTY  jirelato  was  usketl  if  Im  di(l  not  think 
that  sncli  an  one  followed  his  oonscience.  “  Yes.” 
said  Ilis  firaeo.  “  I  think  ho  follows  it  as  a  man 
does  .a.  horse  in  a  gig— ho  drives  it  ilrst.” 
The  lightning  struck  a  P.atehogne  darkey  on 
tho  head  Saturday  morning  last,  but  he  refused 
to  Imdge  an  inoli,  and  muttered  doggedly : 
‘‘  Dat  makes  free  Umes  i'so  been  hit,  and  now  1 
shouldn’t  wornkr  ef  j(  luff  me  alone.”  * 
A  (UCi.EnitATm*  dandy  war  one  evening  in  com-  j 
]>auy  with  a  young  lady,  and  observing  her  kiss 
Jier  favorite  poodle,  he  inlvanood  and  begged  | 
tho  like  favor,  remarking  that  she  ought  to  have  I 
as  much  charity  for  him  as  she  had  shown  tho 
dog.  “  Sir,”  said  the  hello,  “  I  never  kissed  my  i 
dog  when  he  was  a  pup])y.”  Tho  fellow  took  the 
hint  and  was  olT  instantly.
