Daguerreotype Mischief. - "Do let me have your daguerreotype." said a dashing young belle the other evening, to a spooney young man who, who for some time, had been annoying her with his attentions. The gentleman was delighted, and in a short time the lady received the picture. She gave it to the servant, and asked, "would you know that gentleman if he should call?" The servant answered in the affirmative. "Well, then, when he comes, tell him I am engaged."
