NTAsON'S PATENT PURIFIED SPERM
Ifl OIL.-This Oil, for briliancy, durability,
and purity az light, and for lubricating purpo-
SEES, whether applied to the delicate works of a
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpasses
any oil now known.
II is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
priyed Of that substance, which so seriously i'm
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
~; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oleaginous substance now in
While it affords light superior to gas or cam
phene, it is also free from the dangerous explosive
quality of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure ia this oil that it will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this, in every
other particular, advantage the best sperm
oil as now used.
After deyoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils, for the purpose of overcom-
ing their impurities at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has sue
ceeded in prod ucng the "ne plus ultra' of oils.
He offers it as superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and Iubricating,
and invokes the scientific of all countries to test
it and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that all
will agree that it is the finest oil ever offered for
sale. WILLIAM d. TOWNSEND, Phila.

A Good Courting Story

That was a good counting story
our old friend B. used to tell. The
thing ha ppened many years ago, a.
bout the time the Connecticut sys
tenn of doing such things gave way
to the modern system. The object
Of the ii Ifections of B. was blessed in
having an oil ID cpdger of a father,

to thor dismay, step was heard on
the stat rs. OF course B. must be off,
and cha rmer must be asleep; SO one
goes nd der the bBd, while the other
takes a more comfortable place above.
The old man entered, and to the dis
may pfi B. sat down to posting up
his accounts. Perfectly insehsible
to the cold, he kept on. The clock
struck Twelve, and one, and there was
no signs of his leaving. B. had be-
come perfectly b4numbdd, and the
only sign of muscular action was the
castanet like chattering Of his teeth
Presently the old man gdt up. Was

ImpressiYe Gestures.

Some years since, business calling
me to New Orleans, found myself one
evening steaming it down Tho Mis-
sissippi. The night was raw and IN
pleasant; and not having much else
to do, most Of tie passengers be-
took themselves to card-playing.
The boat being much crowded, Jail the
tables, etc, were soon seized upon;
and although everything available
was finally pressed into the service,
quite number were obliged to wait
for others to become tired. One par
ty, however, / observed, who seemed
determined to find a place some wlere.
Their attention was al length attract
ed to the plethoric form of apparent

up a stool on either side of him, they
went to work. The game was sin

were scored with chalk upon the sheep

ly variegated appearance. Notwi FL

quietly conducted, the old gentleman
slept calmly on, until one Of the
players, becoming excited in some
dispute which had arisen about the
game, and forgetting the vitality Of
the table, in adding emphasis to
proposition lie was laying down,
brought down his clenehed fist with
considerable force Immediately on the
pit Of the OLD gentleman's stomach.
A sumbling capernous sound followed,
