THE WAY THEY PULLED THEM Up, AND
LET HIN FALL!

The following amusing adventure, given by q
correspondent writing from Buffalo. actually
took place in the town of NJ. IN Ohio, two
years ago. II would have male cren the late
Isaac Hicks laugh at a solemn meeting 'Scv-
nth -ds.y;' 81 armor --- tiad two daughters,
very interesting young ladies, yet il their teens,
who were quite romantic III their notions. Their
father was an aristocfatic member Of the Bap-
tist church. and 0. course very particular as
10 the company his girls should keep. Now
it happened that these two pretty girls became
acquainted with a couple Of young bucks, clerks
in the adjoining village, and to use a common
phrase, "took shyin' to 'en." To this the old
gentleman was very much opposed as he inten-
dcd to match his daughters himself But g twas
no use' talking TO them; while week after week
wore away and found the young Een constant
visitors. At length in order TO enforce obedi-
ence, the old found himself driven to the
necessity of loching up the foolish children vino
had presumed without his consent to fall i'll love
with couple Of poor ;raicsrnen. The sweet
girls were accordingly confined on Sunday after
moons in the back bedroom in the second story
which fronted The barn-yard; very romantic
.Iook out Under the window pile OF
cellar wall in that corner. For two or three
successive Sabbath evenings, the usual period Of
VISITING their inamoratas, the lovers had climbed
hy means OF the sheets of the bed which were
let down from the window by the heroic girls,
~ to the apartment OF the imprisoned lovers,
and from niglItfau TO ROSY morning did revel in
the cam brosial gh:s Of loves young dreams ="
But this cland-stne courtshp could not be con-
tinuei without bsiug at last discovered One
lovely Sabbath Just a, twilight, the father, COM
nc from, the barn, thought he solnetiling
very onlinous hanging CUT Of the back window;
50 he walked nojseieSsiy around to ascertain the
nature of il. There hung the flag of sure nderi
and the old man, giving It Sigh. jerk, com
menced the ascent. He lifted gently from
off his feet. ard felt himself gradually rising in
the world Twas very heavy weight, the
daughters thought; and to tell the truth, il was
corpuent bod Incorporate a. which they We're
hopefully Juggling away. But 20. his head had
lust reached tho window sill; and now just as his
old white hat appeared above the window, his af-
fsctionate daughters dropped him like not Po-
tato;' and with something like the emphasis OF
n squashed apple dumping, tho old man came in
instant contact with moihed earth; while the two
knights Of tape and scissors, who were not far
off ENJOYING the scene, "mAd. hasty tracks from
the settlement" leaving noth.ag behind them
but bodily misery, horror stricken damssis, and
their own Goa; tails streaming on the cool night
air. K nickerbocker-

Truth vs.. FicTIoN. Some 30 years a
20. the sister Of lady Of Washington
was married in London. CT. and after a
short timo took her departure for the
South. Years rolled round wiihou, any
tidings of her; but the impression remain
ed tina. she was in Alexandria, d. c.,
whore in fact she did for short timo re-
side. The lady referred to also left New
London, and came TO reside in this city,
nineteen years ago. She commenced a
search aftor her long absent sister, having
no other clcw than the name of her hus-
band. Tho search, however, had been in
vain, until within day or two since,
when n similar name was observed on n
sign in this CITY. and the same anxiety was
again felt for the absent sister. Reference
was had 70 the city directory, where not
only tho surname bu, the Christian name
Of the husband was SO, forth u: large
Tho search was removed; 4 call was made
at the house. the entrance to which. under
the circumstances, was quite uncerenonI-
Gus. AS the lady met the visi.er. the lat
ter exclaimed, "Yo u'er my sister" Soma
what astonished at the abruptness of the
seeming intruder, the reception was rather
cool: bu, the reader can easily suppose
how cordial, how deeply affecting. tho
greeting was, when is was found that the
sudden claim of the stranger was founded
on the faithful recollection she retained OF
the coun;enance of the oshar. On compa-
ring notes together. and mentioning cir
cumstances which could only DO known to
them. they became convinced TINT they
were sisters. They had boon living wiki
in mile of each other for six years with
on, knowing il; their families had met, and
had to some extent, become intimate; and
We. they wero unacquain.ed with the fact
&C being family connexions. Truly, truth
Is stranger than fiction Wish. Aurora.

Impurities IF the Blood. | wish to impress
it particularly on the minds of those that are
troubled with Impurities of the blood; bad hui
mors, old ulcers, and diseases brought on by
the use of mercury, calomel, that this is SOW
ereign remedy. 1t is well known to every
physician, that Sarsaparilla is almost the only
article that can be successfully used to root out
such diseases, and, when mixed with the
pure extract of Tomatoes, it has been kown to
cure such cases where Sarsaparla alone has
had no effect. This can be accounted for
from the fact that the Tomatoes operate great
ly on the bowels, carrying off all those impu-
rites which, if allowed TO remain, create dan
gerous and incurable Diseases
One more proof of the efficacy of the Sarsa.
parilla and Tomato when combined.
