SINGULAR MISTAKE.

A courtier was playing at piquet, and was greatly annoyed by a short-sighted man with a long nose.  To get rid of it he took his pocket handkerchief and wiped his troublesome neighbour’s nose.  “Ah, sir,” said he immediately, “I really beg your pardon, I took it for my own.”

During the revolution, a young man was travelling in the Diligence to Lyons with “a brother and a friend,” when they had got about half way the latter’s purse became empty; “Brother,” said he to the young man, “pay for me, and I will return it to you at Lyons.”  “I cannot.”—­“Why, are we not brothers?” “Oh certainly, but our purses are not sisters.”
