The Chairman gave, as a toast, in compli¬ ment to his Excel¬ lency. “ The Sub¬ lime Porte and the Turkish Ambassa¬ dor.” The waiter echoed it down the table—“ A supply of port for the Turkish Ambassador.” A lad of an in¬ quiring turn of mind wants to know whe¬ ther the horseman who scoured the plain used soap. “ Tell that man to take off his hat in court, ” said a judge the other morning to an offi¬ cer. The offender, who turned out to be a lady wearing the fashionable sailor hat, indignantly ex¬ claimed—“ I am no man, sir ! ” “Then,” said his honour, “I am no judge.” There is an old lady living less than fifty miles from this city who firmly be¬ lieves that more men marry than women.

Sore Throat, Cough, Cold, And similar troubles, if suffered to progress, result in serious Pulmonary, Bronchial, and Asthmatic Affections, oftentimes incurable. “ Brown's Bron¬ chial Troches reach directly the seat of the disease, and give almost instant relief. The “ Troches have been thoroughly tested, and maintain the good reputation they have justly acquired. For Public Speakers, Singers, and those who overtax the voice, they are useful in relieving an Irritated Throat, and will render articulation easy. To those exposed to sudden changes in the weather, they will give prompt relief in Coughs and Colds, and can be carried in the pocket, to be taken as occasion requires.
