An Awful Pun-ishment

"Ten days or $10," said the Jndge, I and tlie prisoner, a sullen-looking fellow, cliose the latter alternative, paid the fine and was discharged. He walked moodily out of the court-room, but when he reached the door tniiíed and showered a wholesale tirade of profane abuse upon the magistrale. Then he ran into the corridor, but before he coiüd reach the street the officers gave ohase, he was soon recaptured and stood again at the bar. "Ten dollars more," said the court. The money was paid. "If yon had usod more chaste and refined language," the Judge continued, waving the fellow away, "you would not have been ohased and refined." The prisoner feil down - dead ! Dead ! My Lords and ladies ! Dead ! Right reverend s and wrong reverenda of every order! Dead! Men and women born with heavenly compaesion in your broast - and hundreds are dying thus around us every day from the effects of similar atrocious puns.- Puck,
