Obtaining REVENGE.

Mr.. Snarl resides in Forsyth street. Mr..
Snarl is an old bachelor, with an Irish girl for
a housekceper. Snarl lives in good style but
has some qneer notions. He disikos dogs
above all things, organ grinders and bccgays
not excepted.
Snarl's next door ncighbor is Harry Samp-
son. Now, Harry is the very opposite Of
old Mr.. Sndr. lie sets high value on u
| dog, and there is only one article equal TO Il
Newfoundland, and that's woman. Harry
has several specimens of the canine race.
The others evening they got up lowing
| match because the moon became cclipsyd
! They commenced about ten o'clock and kept
| It up till the sun got an inch and half above
| Williamsburg.
This so annoyed Mr.. Snarl, that he had
Harry jerkcd up "for Il nuisance" and fined
ten dollars. Harry paid the money, hut
! resolved or revenge. The next morning the
following advertisement appeared in the
! N.rald:
| WAN1uD--At Forsyth street, two Bull Docs
and four Spaniel Pups For full b!oodcd
Dogs the highest price will be paid. Gail
between 1 and Z. NJ.
JAMES SxAGG.
We need not say that the advertisement
was inserted by Harry. His reason for ma
KING the calls between and 6. T.. NJ. was
!
hour, taking an airing around the Battery.
At the hour specified, dogs ndpups might
have been seen going up the Bowery to
| Grand, to Forsyth, and up Forsyth to the
mansion occupied by Mr.. Snarl
The trst person that pulled tho door-bell
was n butcher boy from Centre Market, with
a pair of bull dogs that would tear HI out
Of a tiger Maggie answered the bell, when
/ The following colloquy took place:
Does Mr. Snarl live here p
Gle does. Why do you AK p
| 81 have got some dogs for him
| Dogs for Mr. Snarl-mother Of Moses,
did you ever you've mistook the door,
| devil a bit Of it-read that"
Here Syksie took ont the uo,7.ipg Heyal7
and showed Maggie the advertisement.
Maggie was thuud,rstruck, there was "no
denying the advertisement Sheaccordingly
told Syksic to 20 into the back yard 'wid the
dogs" and await the return of Mr. Snarl
Syhsic did so.
In about two minutes Maggie was again
summoned TO the door-bell.
"What do you want ??
"Mr. Snarl-I've got them dogs he wan
ted"
"You hayo-woll then go into the yard
wild the other blackguard."
No. , followed No No. . was soon fol.
lowed by No. 3, who was succeeded by lots 4.
. and 6. BY half-past FIVE the back yard
contained twenty-one bull dogs and fourteen
spaniels. The fcrmqrgot upamisunderstand
ing, and by the tim9lMr. Snarl arrived, seven
spaniels had been placed hors du combat
while a brindle bull dog from Fulton Market
was going through his third fight with
"yallar tarrior" from Mott street.
Mr.. Snarl reached home Il few minutes be-
fore six Maggie opened the door and burst
out as follows:
For the love Of the Lord go back and stop
EN-. They are ateing one another up, and
if not choked of viii devour the cestern.
Since the days of Crummel I've not seen
such huilabaloe entirely"
Snarl went bacb"-Snarl looked into the
yard and would have sworn, but he could not
find oaths sufficiently powerful to do justice
to his feelings. When we left, MIR. Snarl
was emptying "the back yard" with all axe
hclye. The next morning Harry Sampson
complained Of him for having dog fght'
on his premises.-Snarl was fined twenty-five
dOllars--f(teen dollars for having ''such
fight and ten dollars for being IAN old
hypocrtc.' 1t is necessary lorus to say that
Harry Sampson slept better that night than
any night since the war with MeXico-N y.
