BOYS, MIND YOUR COMMAS The comma like the tongue, is a little thing, and like it will make good sense or nonsense, just according as it is used. Take, for instance, the old nursery rhyme. With the commas misplaced, it is so nonr sensical that it needs a commentary to explain it : Every lady in the land Has twenty nails on each hand, Five and twenty on hands and feet ; This is true without deceit Alter the position of the commas and the meaning is clear : Every lady in the land Has twenty nails, on each hand jive, and twenty on hands and feet ; This is true without deceit n actioneer onCe advertised a lot of j chairs which, he said, "had been used by school children without backs," Youth's Companion. The omission of a comma has fre quently given a very awkward Ujrn to a ! sentence. We remember ah epitaph i which sufferedvsererj f0x-sh an oversight. It ran pretty much as fol- lows : V. ? 1 1 M. y -Erected to the memory of John Phil- lips, accidentally shot as a mark of affec- tion by his brother " j A printer, meddling with the verdict 4 of a coroner's jury, struck out a eomma . . l"e word "apoplexy making it read thus : .

A ludicrous case of mistaken identity occurred in Montreal a day or two aro. through the uufortunate resemblance of two young gentlemen, residents of that city, one of whom was recently married while the other remains a bachelor. The married person went to a dinner party. The unmarried one, as it so happened, was similarly iccupied on the same even ing, but. unluckily or his reputation; he made a miscalculation as to his capacity for r.ti.e wine, and spoiled his nights amusements. While a glimmer of rea son remained he endeavored t get home without attracting attention.

Eng land, covering a statement of remarkable facts, which the writer believed justified him in the conclusion that a certain Wil liam Brigham, of Stockton, a natural son of a man named Young and a woman named Brigham. was no less a pcrso: . age than Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet, and that, if so, the first wife of Brigham Young, an old woman still living m hngland and in a state of extre me poverty, has a claim npon him for support which he cannot safely disregard. We publish to-day on the same subject a circumstancial statement from an Eng lish paper, which materially strengthens the pri ma facte case ot English, as the first wife of Brigham Yonus of Utah. New York Herald. A contributor to the Petersburg Iiulex Appeal furnishes the annexed laughable army scene : One beautiful morning, as we were 'trudging along with loaded guns at a right shoulder shift, prepared at any mo- igent to meet the enemy, the following coll- uy ensued : Lt. Col. P.. riding from his position in rear of the .regiment, remarked : --M.. y$ur gun is bearing directly on me !" M It's bearing en roe too. Colonel." Col. "But it might go off." M. -I wish it would go off. sir. for I am tired of carrying it." . CoLJ went off amid the laugh of those who heard him. m n m v fc I .
