HUMOROUS.

A Very Long Nose.

A gentleman having put out a candle by accident one night, ordered his waiting man (who was a simple being) to light it again in the kitchen, adding—"But take care, James, that you do not hit yourself against anything in the dark." Mindful of the caution, James stretched out both arms at length before him, but unluckily, a door that stood half open, passed between his hands and struck him a woeful blow upon the nose. "Golly gracious!" muttered he, when he recovered his senses a little, "I always heard that I had a very long nose, but I never thought it was longer than my arm!"

Sol. Smith.

The American Sentinel, speaking of "Sol. Smith, the Lawyer, Actor, Preacher," &c., remarks— "You'll not get them. There are none others like him.

Even in the physical way Sol. will be hard to match, for he is tall as a May-pole, and crooked as a pump-handle.

The True American says that when John C. Calhoun takes snuff, every man in South Carolina sneezes.
