CAN'T GOT NO NAILS !"

We invite the lovers of fun to join Us in the
hearty laugh we are just now having over Inc
story, told by one of our Northern contempora'
ries of tall, gawky looking coun'ryman, who
durinr the height Of the business season last
fall, walked into one of the largest wholesale
dry GOOD houses on Broadway, and entirely dis.
regarding the invitations of the numerous sales
men to inspect the latest patterns, srode into
the couniing.room where The heads of the estaa:
lishment were sitting in close conversation
After taking a cursory glance Of the room, and
surveying atien,ively the faces of the occupants
he asked with an unctious Yankee nasq twang
"Say, yeou-gnt any nails g
malls, sir, nas!" repeated the most dgnheo
Dombey of the firm. "No, sir, what should VIC
do with nails I"
"WaI, |. dunno-thousht paybc you mought
Haint you got no nails, eh g
aNo. sir" replied Dombey again, with an en-
phasis, motioning to the door.
The indivdul in search Of nails took his time
about it, and then left the countng-room. ~
turn, he asked every clerk the sane question, !,
and received the information from all, that" nails
formed no part Of the stock of tho establish
ment.
sWelr' said Bc, going towards the door,
adon't keep knils here, no how!!'
The principal saesman, whose dignity was
hurt by the idea that any ono should suppose
that an establishment where he had prominent
place, should keep nails, headed the country
man off as he was proceeding towards the en-
trance, and asked him abruptly what he wanted
"Want" said the counlryman as cool as
cucumber, 81 want TO know if you've got any
nails!"
sNaiis, no sir. You have been told again
and again. THAT we've got no nails-so you'd
better Co."

THE BRIDAL EVE:
A LEGEND FROM LECTURE ON THE
SCENES OF THE REVOLUTION"

One summer night, the blaze of many lights
streaming from the windows Of an old mansion
perched wonder among the rocks and woods
flashed far over the dark waters Of Lake Cham
plain.
In quiet and comfortable chamber of that
mansion, party of British officers, sitting around
Il table spread with wines aud rlands, discussed
q topic of some interest if it was not the most
important in the world, while the tread OF the
dancers shook the floor of the adjoining room.
Yes !,while all was gayety and dance and mu'
sic in the larges, hall of the old mansion, whose
hundred lights glanced far over The waters oil
Champlain-here in this quiet room, with the
cool evening breeze blowing in their faces
through the open windows, here this party Of
British officers had assembled to discuss lhel'
wines and their favorite topic
That topic was the comparative beauty OF the
women in the world.
uAs for me-" said handsome young Ensign
al will match the voluptuous forms and dark
eyes of Italy against the beauties of all the

aAnd l." said u bronzed old veteran, who had

as some of those IIindoo maidens, bending dowr
with watcr-lilies in their hands; bending dowr

the Ganges.'
And thus, one after another, Ensign, Colonel
and Major, until TINT young American Refugee

COUSINS.

Had you ever cousin, Tom 7
Did your cousin happen to singi
Sisters we have by the dozen, Tom,
But a. cousins different thing.
And fever you'd chance to, kiss her, Tom,
(But let this be a secret between u.s.
Your lips would have been in a blister, Tom,
For they're not of sister genus.
There is something, Tom, in a sisters lip,
When you give goodnight kiss;
Which savors SO much Of relationship
That nothing occurs amiss.
But a cousins lip, if you once unite
With yours, in the quetest way,
Instead oil sleeping wink that night
You'll be dreaming the following day.
And people think it no harm, Tom,
WITT cousin to hear you talk;
And no one feels any alarm, Tom,
At quiet cousinly walk.
But, Tom, you'll find, what happen to know,
That such walks oft grow into strayngi
And the voice of cousins are sometimes 30 low,
Heaven only knows what you'll be saying.
Then there happens to be so often, Tom,
Soft pressure of hands and fingers,
And looks that are moulded 30 often, Tom,
And tones in which memory fingers.
And long ere your walk is half over, the string
OF your heart are put into play,
By the voice of those fair demi-sisterly things,
In no, quite the most brotlcrly way.
And the song of a sister may bring to you, LON
Such tones as the angels WOO;
But fear if your cousin should sing to you, Ton
You'd take her for an angel too.
For so curious note is that note of theirs,
That you'll fancy the voice that gave it
Had been all the time singing the national airs
Instead of the Psamls Of David.
| once had cousin that sung, Tom,
And her mime may be namrless now;
But the sound Of those songs is still young, Ion'
Though we are no longer SO.
IT'S folly to dream Of bower OF green
When there is no leaf on the tree;
But 'twix, walking and singing that cousin lla
been,
God forgive her, the ruin of me.
And now am not for society, Tom,
But lead a most anchorite life;
For I've loved myself into society, Toln,
And out Of the wise for 4 wife.
But, oh. if I said but half what might say
So sad are the lessons 'twould give
1t would keep you from loving many day,
And from cousins as long as you live.

TAIL TaLKIyG.-Thc London Times has
another article. in which it consoles itself with
the ridiculous idea that In case of war the Uni.
ted States will be but q mere child in the hands
of England. Hear it:
Our Navy is the most powerful that floats.
In ships, guns caibre and men, we can sweep
tho Ocean from the Arctic to the Torrid Zone
from The Atlantic to the Pacific. Never be-
fore in England's history did Britannia more
thoroughly rule the waves. The American sen.
board is ours We could annihilate their com.
mcrce AS to their navy, it is absurd to talk Of
il; the Americans themselves confess that We
could blow it out OF the water in one broadslde.
Then. how are the Atlantic cities Of the United
States situated! There is not one city, from
passan,aquoddy Bay in the North TO Galveston
Bay in the South, which has water enough to
float frlgate or gun.boat, that We cannot batter
to tho ground in twcnty-four hours. The fol-
lowing cities in the United States are comparaa-
lively at our mercy after war is once declared !:
Portland, Maine, Portsmouth New Hampshire,
Boston, Massachusetts,; Newport, Rhcde Is

better story than the following, which
comes from North Carolina, we have not folnl
for many month:
About thirty miles above Wilmington, North
Carolina, lived three fellows, named respective.
" Barham, Stone and Gray, on the banks Of the
North East river. They game down to Will
mington in n small row boat, and made fast to
the wharf They had lime Of it in the city,
but for fear they would be dry before get.
ting home, they procured jug Of whiskey, and
after dark, of black night too, they embarked
in lheir boat, expecting to rsafh home in the
morning. They rowcd away with all the energy
that three half lipsy fellows could muster, keep.
ing up their spirits in the darkness BY pouring
tho spirits down. At break Of day they thought
they must be near home, and seeing through the
dim gray Of the morning a house on the river
side, Stone said
"WeIl, Barham, we've got to your place at
last"
"If this is my house," said Barham, Z" some.
body has been putting up lots Of out houses
since went away Yesterday; but III go ashore
and look about and see where we are, if you'll
hold her to-"
Barham disembarks, takes observation, and
soon comes stumbling along back, and says:
"WeAl, III be whipped if We mint ct Whining.
ton here yet and what's more, the boat has been
hilched to the wharf all nightw
It was fact, and the drunken dogs had been
rowing away for dear life without knowing it.
