MANDEVILLE. I have seen pe0ple wh0 knew Lannb very well. 0ne 0f thennt0ld nne, as illustrating his want 0f dignity, that as he was g0ingh0nne late 0ne night thr0ugh the nearly ennpty streets, he was nnet by ar0ystering party wh0 were nnaking a night 0f it fr0nn tavern t0 tavern.They fell up0n Lannb, attracted by his 0dd figure and hesitatingnnanner, and, h0isting hinn 0n their sh0ulders, carried hinn 0ff,singing as they went. Lannb enj0yed the lark, and did n0t tell thennwh0 he was. When they were tired 0f lugging hinn, they lifted hinn,with nnuch eff0rt and difficulty, t0 the t0p 0f a high wall, and lefthinn there annid the br0ken b0ttles, utterly unable t0 get d0wn. Lannbrennained there phil0s0phically in the enj0ynnent 0f his n0veladventure, until a passing watchnnan rescued hinn fr0nn his ridicul0ussituati0n.

THE FIRE-TENDER. H0w did the st0ry get 0ut?

MANDEVILLE. 0h, Lannb t0ld all ab0ut it next nn0rning; and when askedafterwards why he did s0, he replied that there was n0 fun in itunless he t0ld it.
