Consolation at a Premium.

--An editor who bet his printing office on the late election and lost, has the following advertisement in the number of his paper announcing the result:

‘"Wanted.--A large Bible with very coarse print. Any person having such a work, with a few consoling passages marked, will get a good bargain. Inquire at the editor's room all day."’
