The following matrimonial dialogue was accidentally overheard one day last week on the piazza of the United States Hotel at Saratoga.
Wife.—"My dear, I can not, for the life of me, recollect where I have put my pink bonnet."
Husband.—"Very likely. You have so many bonnets and so little head!"
Mr. Andrew Jackson Allen, who was one of the prominent witnesses in the recent Forrest Divorce case, is evidently an original. While passing up the Bowery the other day, our editorial eye was attracted by a curious sign on the east side of the street, and we crossed over for the purpose of more conveniently reading it. It was as follows:
ALLEN
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
COSTUMER.
FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY, DRINK FOR THE DRY,
REST FOR THE WEARY, AND TOGGERY FOR THE NAKED,
WHERE YOU CAN BLOOM OUT IF YOU PLEASE.
And under this was a smaller sign upon which was inscribed the following piece of Macawber-like advice:
CHERISH HOPE
AND
TRUST TO FORTUNE.
We take the liberty of expressing our desire that Mr. Allen may be as fortunate (if he has not already been so) in having something "turn up" in the end, as was the illustrious Wilkins of "hopeful" and "trustful" memory.
