MUDS' MlSFOUTtrSES.
; Mr. ?tibhs had ssircely recovered frotn
the st ere bruUes received in attempting
to demolish an empty flour barrel, than the
' poor gentleman w doom ed to be the re
iif lent of a far more painful batch of con
fnt ions.
. One morning at the t-ny.Vf.13t tattle, Mrs.
t Xibba informed Mr. Nibos that the grape
vine was in a allocking state, and sadly
Boedinl trimming. She also requested him
' to perform the operation,
lie refused.
After a spirited debate, during' which the
lite hen table was overturned, and Mr.
?ibbe. received a well buttered pancake
square t between the eyes, he finally con
sented. Grasping the bread-knife, and not heed
ing Mrs. Nibbs, who advised him to attire
himself in some cat oil garments, he sal'
: lied oat into the back-yard.
Grasping one of the slats, Mr. Nibb3,
with boy -like agility, rapidly ascended the
ai-bor. lie had almost reached the top
when an accident occurred.
One of the sl its gave way, and he fell
gracefully downward.
Mr. Nibbs, with gTeat presence of mind,
clutched fr intica'ly at the sky, bat missed
his grab, and succeeded in planting his
head, up to the ears, in the grass plot.
Hastily regaining his feet lie gazed search
iugly about in order to see if his downfall
had been observed by the prying eyes of
his neighbors. Yes, his misfortune had
teen witue!ried by Mary Ann Moran, the
servant girl who was employed next door.
M. A. M.'s mirth was extremely aggra
vating to the feelings of the unfortunate
Nibbs, and he seized a large stone. Step
ping back several paces, to give impetuosi
ty to the missile, he ran with all his might
and then hurled the stone at the humorous
hand-maiden next door.
Mr. Nibbs vengeance would probably
have been completed but for an unexpected
interruption.
In his blind rage ho failed to observe that
the clothes line lay stretched directly acroes
his path. Ccneefju--ntly, while he was at
the top of his speed, with every ruu.se lo
drained to its utmost tonion, the said line
caught him directly under the chin. Mr,
Nibbs flew violently backward and struck
the wood-house with a sickening crash.
The stone fell short of the mark and
went wiggling through the back basement
windows.
Mr. Nibbs finally recovered his breath,
and gave vent to his pent emotions in &
series of now and original epithets.
Nibbs is a man of great resolution, and,
nothing daunted by the sjkI rebuffs he had
experienced, he pnx-eeded to mount the ar
bor again this time with much less boyish
agility, however.
He reached the top agnin, and began
work. Everything went along swimmingly
for a while, and he thought to himself what
an easy bisk was that of a gardener. Hi
opinion was soon altered, however.
In his ardor Mr. Nibbs strotehed hi!-oly
forward to it full extent. The slat creak
ed. Mr. Nibbs, fearing that the slat was
breaking, threw him.ielf suddenly back
ward. In ?j d;:i;j, the p tint of inertia was
thrown without the base, and consequently,
recording to philosophy, Mi. Nibbs vas
bound to f ill.
Mr. Nibbs was swooping down toward tlie
brick walk below, Ilk? some irre.it bird,
when a large IkxIc intercepted lus flight.
The said hook buried Its.lf into the bay
window of his p mtaloons, but as the mate
rial wis not strong enough to bear his
weight, he continued his downward course.
And finally landed.
Had Mr. Nibbs landed upon the brick
wall, we would now be writing an obituary
notice instead of a humoious article.
Mr. Nibha' wife, with her customary
t hough tlcssnosn, h id failed to replace the
cover over the vr oil-hole, aud splash into the
well Killed Mr. X.
The water waj very deep, and unpleas
vntly col 1, and the luckless Nibbs began
t residing water, an 1 mtuiibl-.ng : "Now ( lay
mo," etc., at a great rate.
Mrs. Nibbs heard the it.lsIi of the break
ing slats, aud r u-jied the door just in time
lo see Mr. Nibbs disappear like some great
bull-frog into the weil. Seizing a long
i-lothes-pole, she. after much exertion, suc
ceeded in rescuing the ill-starred Nibbs
from a watery grave.
The excitement was too much for him,
and for several days he lay at the injiut
of illuusa, expecting every moment to bo
bis no it.
And now if any person wants to know
Just how it feels to be struck with . a pile
driver, just let him request Mr. Niblts to
favor him with a brief synopsis of tho
adventures experience! by a novice in en
deavoring to perform the labors of a gar
dener, especially that branch which relates
to the grafting and priming of trees and
vines.
Makriac2 anon; the Burmese w a mot
peculiar institution, nrd the "marriage kn. t"'
is very easily und me. If two persons are
tired of each othei's society, they dissolve
partnership in t!ie following pimple and
touching, manner : They respectively light
two candle, and, shutting np tl:eir but,
sit down and wait until they are burned.
The one whose candle burns out first gets up
nt once and leaves tlie house forever, tiking
nothing but the cl't! e lie or .-he may have
on at the time ; nil else then becomes the
property of the other party.
Thi Richmond Whig says that the follow,
ing letter, written in London on August 21,
1762, to a colonist of Virginia, is still in ex
istences "We send you a shipment, one
widow and eleven maids, for wives of the
people of Virginia. There has been special
care iu the choice of theui, for tliero hath
not one of them been received but upon
good recommendations. In case they can
not bo presently ni.uvied, we desiie that
Ciey may be put with several householders
that have wives uutil they can be provided
with hudbailils."

A Life Drama. '
Scene, Corner of Sixth 8c Market Streets,
Time, One O'clock.
Stranger What's the price of that coat ?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper The price is on the ticket, sir, gio.50, in plain figures; same
price to everybody.
Stranger Oh, pshaw; that's what they all say. You'll take ofT that 50.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper No, sir ; under no circumstances. If that 50 could be scratched
the price would have been marked so at first There is no second price. The
figures are down to bottom rock. Should you buy $1,000 of us, nothing could be
taken off We have One Price to everybody and all are treated alike, whether they
buy a single pair of working pants or three suits.
Stranger Isn't that pretty stiff?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper Nothing stiff intended. Try us. See if we are not patient and
obliging. Only we think it fairest for both parties to name at once the lowest price,
and stick to it. Small buyers, on our rule, have as good a chance as large ones.
Stranger Well, suppose I purchase a garment and it don't fit ?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper Bring it back.
Stranger Yes, and perhaps get a worse one in exchange.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper No, sir ; get no worse one get your money back.
Stranger Explain that. You mean, of course, if you can't fit me.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper No, sir; we mean that if, within ten dnys, you bring back the
v
garment unworn
j Stranger You mean
it... T,w - . -
Oak Hall Doorkeeper I mean if you don't like it. or
weather changes, or you find goods somownere ele you like better, or you imagine
you have been in any way misinformed, bring back the purchase and take back the
purchase money. We give a signed guarantee to that effect.
Stranger Why, that's a new thing. What is it like ?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper 'Tis a card signed by the firm, binding us in every way.
Wait a minute, and I'll show you one.
He reads over carefully the following Guarantee, which goes with every purchase at
Oak Hall.
We herehy guar-f
1st. That the price of our gnodn shall be as lores at the tame quality of material aud mmufaeture are
Bntd anywhere in the United Siit.
2d. That the prices are precisely the name to everybody for tame quality, on same day of purchase.
3d. That the quility of good is cs rc.present&l on printed labels.
4iA. That the fdl amount of cash paid will be refunded, if niftrmrr fndllie artiebt unsat'sfacVyry, and
return them unworn and uninjured within 10 day from date of purcltase.
Signed,
WAN A MAKER & BROWN,
Stranger What is that remark about the quality of goods?
Oak Hall Doorkeeper It means that the ACTUAL NAME and grade of the goods
are printed on the price label attached to every garment in Oak Hall, and that no
misrepresentation can be made.
Stranger Ah, this looks lovely, to be sure, if you only mcfan to stand up to it.
Oak Hall Doorkeeper We do, and shall stand firmly by these principles as our only
rules of business. The people who don't believe it can prove us very easily if they
choose.
Stranger Well, I'll try you once at any rate.
We think this was a sensible conclusion. Let the people inform themselves of what'
we are doing at OAK HALL to make excellent Clothing and Cheapen the Prices under
our New Order of Business.
Our store is fuller than evd of Men's and Boys' Bast Made Handsome Clothing,
which, under our Ready-Money piid down Ons-Price Guarantee System, fixes our prices
lower th in the wholesale stores. This is a good time to visit the city, and the cost of the
fare can be saved in getting Clothing at the Low Prices we are now selling our goods.

I thought I'd like a good rap of coffe anl
a little bread and butter to kind o' wah
the thing down but ye say ye can't gim'
that?
Waiter No, sir. Well give you, as I've
said, a solid, square meal for fifty cent
You can eat as little or as much as jon
please.
The stranger's eyes opened and loot e-l
thoughtful for a moment, and then, strik
ing his fist on the table, he exclaimed,
"By gum ! I b'leere I'll take it. I aint
rigl.t real hungry, but bring on yer roag
beef and tatcrs, suckithaeh, tea, coST.-e,
bread, pie and puddin ! Bring 'em on.
By gum, I'm in for a square meal, anl ray
fifty cents' worth !" The waiter hnrrie.1 to
respond, and the way that stranger's knife
and fork played between his month and the
plates was a caution to gTeasod lihtnir..
It beat half dozen pair of cabinets, anl
sounded more like one of Billy McAli.trs
bone solos than anything el we ever h jarl
The waiter stood aghast, and wLen Le
turned up with the third plate of roast Le-J
the proprietor, pale 03 marble, frm a
Vermont quarry,called him. asili bhicl
the bar.
"For God's Bat .3, who is that fellow ':"
said he; "he eats victuals as fast as a
threshing-machine swallows straw." The
stranger's plates wer3 beginning to show
bottom again, and his eyea were running np
and down the room for the waiter. He did
not stop in his eating, but simply turnel
his back and let Cy against the wall with
his heels.
"CJi' roe s'more roast beef and taU-r's,"
he shoute-1.
The landlord raijed hid hands in hor
ror. "Great heaven. Jams, "he'll clean us
out," said he, as the waiter sprang for tha
kitchen.
"Ain't ye got mor'n wun kind of pie
inquired the stranger.
"Oh, yes," said the waiter.
"Well, then, bring it on, and giv's sa:a
o that pud'n, too. Jcrniciy. f I was only
hungry, how I'd clean ye out ! Bring r.ie
two cups of coffee and f cup of tea. t.s
I ain't only jia boianing to eat."
The landlord listened with dismay, an 1
stopping the waiter, as he entered tlietitch
for the fifteenth time, walked solemnly np
to the stranger, and s iid :
"See here, we ain't got enough in the
house to feed you. Just go on 'now, I trill
call it all square. You.needn't pay a c-nt
for what you're had.
The stranger became indignant, and de
clined, saying that his appetite was just
coming, and winding up with a very, very
emphatic :
"Ilanged if I wilL"
A bright thought struck tha lanllorJ, a3
he walked off in mental agony. Uastmi7i
to the bar, he jerked open the till, pulled
out a lialf dollar, and, rushing up to the
stranger, placed it in Lis hand.
"Hero, here," said he, "take this an l
right up to the Holly Tree Inn, and clean
'cm out. Go on. They'll feed you till you
bust for fifty cents."
"Well," said the stranger, as he gradually
arose and stretched himself, at the same
time putting the scrip into his vest pocket,
"I don't mind ef I do take it. I ain't very
hungry anyhow. I only wanted a cup of
coffje and a piece of bread and butter,
when I come in, but I'm jis as well as sat
isfied. I guess IU buy the old mare soas
oats ; wait until I get hum to finish up."
and he left.
