Putting on his Bonnet.

--A gentleman who had carefully trained up his servant in the way he should go, so that, when his wife was present, he might not depart from it, sent him with a box ticket for the theatre to the house of a young lady. The servant returned when the gentleman and his wife were at dinner.--He had, of course, been told, in giving answers to certain kind of messages, to substitute the masculine for the feminine pronoun in speaking of the lady. "Did you see him?" said the gentleman, giving him the cue. "Yes, sir," replied the servant; "he said he'd go with a great deal of pleasure; and that he'd wait for you, sir." "What was he doing?" asked the wife, carelessly. "He was putting on his bonnet," was the reply. Great "noise and confusion." Wife ill for a week.
