An Ugly CUSTOMER" Dont put on no e.
traS" A wager was made few days since on
board a steamboat, between couple OF jokers,
one of whom, pointing to an extreme y ugly
man, bet bottle of wine that an ugIIer cus'o.
mer could not be produced. The other, who
had seen one of the tiremen as he passed on
board the boat-a man whose face was screwed
out of all shape-at once took up the bet and
started down stairs for his man. The joker had
an impeachment in his speech, but he neverthe-
less soon made known his business TO the fire
man, and obtained his consent to show himself
to decide the wager. When inside the social
hall, the ugly man, whose nose was on one side
of his face and his eyes on the other. began to
screw and work them about to give his face a
greater degree Of uglness. 'S-s.top, said his
hacker don't put on n.n-no extras. St-st-and
jest as the Lord made you-you can't be beat
The other acknowledged that he had lost, and
paid the wager.-N. o. Pic.
