Advertising for a Wife,

Mr. Mlchae! M'Claskey, short, puffy
d gentleman of forty five, in the twelfth
year of his widowerhood, complained to
the police of an assault committed on bis
person by Mrs Hannah Sullivan, and
showed several long purple stripes on his
,isage, which he declared to be the i'm.
pressions Of Mrs. Sullivan's finger nails.
II turned out in evidence that Mr.. M'Clas-
key had advertised for a wife, in one of
the city papers, notifying applicants for
the situation to call at No. -, Locust
street, the residence of the advertiser Mrs
Sullivan called early in the morning, half
I'm hour after the advertisement was first
published, and sent word up to Mr.. NJ.
that lady wished to see him "about a
notice in the paper" MClaskey was all
in hutter, supposing that some blooming
beauty was about to fall into his arms. He
spruced himself up and came down stairs,
where Mrs. Sullivan was waiting. To say
that he was disappointed, would be saying
too little he was Mortified
"Might it be you that was wanting a
wife, Mr.. What-d'ye-call-em p inquired
the lady.
Mr.. NJ. eyed her with look of dissatis.
faction, and uttered growing afirma-
tive.
"Then I'm thinking its myself that
might shoot you," observed Mrs. Sulli-
van.
"Deyil a bit Of it," remarked Mr. NJ
Claskey, ''Tm suspicious that you did no,
look at the advertisement attentively."
"Sure I've go: it here at the very tips
Of my fingers" and Mrs s: "Wauted, a
nate, tidy woman, of thirty or upwards
THAT'S me, I'm thirty or upwards"
"Yes up,cards," replied Mr.. NJ, with
sarcastic bitterness.
"Well qualified for a wife, AMI good
looking" continues Mrs Sullivan, reading
the advertisement
"Humph. good looking; that's ycu,
too, | suppose madam p grOHled N'Clas-
key"
"Sure l can look well enough to see a
rogue at yards distance, Mr.. What's
your-name and is itquali:ied am troth
I've had four husbands already, and it's
me that ought to know something about
the juties Of wife,
"Four husbands, madam -
"Yes, faith, | can show you the graves
Of all Of them, mighty plisant ground they
are laid in too, and hope you may never
have no worse if liver it should be your
good luck to be beried among Christians"
"You won't DO, malam," roared M'Clas-
key "What the thunder should l do
with wife with a head like a blazing
CHIMNEY, AMI nose and chin like pair of
ginblets ?"

Interesting to Hen Fancier5.

One Of the mos. serious obstacles in the
way of keeping hens about the house, has
cen their hitherto unconquerable predil-
.ection for scratching up gardens. We
arm from the Oswego Palladium that an
Ingenious Yankee has at length discovered
remedy for this difficulty, and is taking
Ieasures to introduce it into general use.
I consists Of a small instrument some
hat resembling very long spur, attach
to the hind part Of a hens leg. The
strument is so arranged, that when the
N is about to scratch the earth, the spur
:ches in the earth before her foot has
-irly descended, and obliges her to bring
re foot quietly and harmlessly down, a
tile in front of the place where she had
med it. The hen ,hereupou tries the
.her foot with like result. She keeps
\ trying it, and before she is aware of it
c machine has ualked her righ. out Of
q. eyarden!
