It is related of ex-President Tyler, that from the time of his election to the Vice-Presidency until the death of General Harrison, he kept no carriage on account of the insufficiency of his salary. When, however, he found himself accidentally elevated to the chief Magistracy, the former difficulty being removed, he at once determined to set up an equipage. He accordingly bought a pair of horses, and engaged a coachman, and then began to look about for a vehicle. Hearing of one for sale which belonged to a gentleman residing in Washington, and which had only been driven a few times, the President went to look at it. Upon examination he was perfectly satisfied with it himself, but still he thought it more prudent, before purchasing it, to take the opinion of his Hibernian coachman upon it. Pat reported that it was "jist the thing for his honor." "But," said Mr. Tyler, "do you think it would be altogether proper for the President of the United States to drive a second-hand carriage?" "And why not?" answered the Jehu; "_sure and ye're only a second-hand president!_" * * * * * We have seen many lazy men (and women, too, for that matter) in our day and generation, but we _do_ think that a little the laziest individual we ever did meet, is a certain bald-headed, oldish gentleman, who lives somewhere in Fourteenth-street near the Fifth Avenue. Standing the other day with a friend, at the southeast corner of Broadway and Union-square, waiting for a Fourth Avenue omnibus, upward bound, we noticed the subject of this paragraph crossing the street, with his arm in a sling. Turning to our companion, who was well acquainted with him, we asked, "Why, what in the world has happened to Mr. ----'s arm?" "Oh, nothing at all," was the reply, "he only wears it in a sling, because he is _too lazy to swing it_!" * * * * * The following commencement to a legal document, to which our attention was once called in a business-matter is curious enough. The parties mentioned were English people, the names not being uncommon on the other side of the water: "James Elder, the younger, in right of Elizabeth Husband, his wife, &c., &c." * * * * *
