OBTAINING REVENGE.

Mr.. Snar resides in ForSythe street. Mr.
Snarl is an old bachelor, with an Irish girl for q
housekeeper. Snarl lives in good style, but
has some queer notions He disikes dogs
above all things, organ grinders and beggars not
excepted.
Snarls next door neighbor is Harry Sampson.
Now, Harry is the very opposite to old Mr.
SnarI. lie setsa high value on u dog, and there
is only one article equal to 4 Newfoundland,
and that's Il woman Harry has several speci-
mems of the canine race. The other evening
lhev got up howiing match because the moon
became ecpscd. They commenced about ten
o'clock, and kept it up until the sun got an inch
an / ha.f above Williamsburg.
This so annoyed Mr.. Snarl, that he had fiar-
ry ierked up Z" for Il nuisance" and fined ten
dollars. Harry paid the money, but resolved on
revenge The next morning the following ad-
vcrlisement appeared in the Herald:
WASTED-At FOrsythe street, Two dogs, and
four Spaniel Pups. For full bluoded dogs tie
highest price will be paid. Call between four
and six p NJ. JAMES SSARL.
We need not say the advertisement was in
serted bv Harry. His reason for making the
calls between tunr and six p. NJ. was because
Mr. Snarl was always out ut that hour, taking
an airing around the Battery.
At the hour specified, dogs and pups might
have been seen going up the Bowery to Grand,
to Forsvthe, and up Forsythe to the mansion
occupied by Mr.. Snarl.
The frs, person that pulled the doorbell was
!; butcher boy from Centre Market, with pair
of bull dogs tlla, would "tear the heart out of
tiger" Maggie answered the bell, when the
following coloquy took place:
Does Mr. Snar live hcrc!"
"IIe does Whey do youaxs"
81 have got some dogs for him."
"Dogs for Mr.. Snarl-mother Of Moses, did
you ever! you mi-took the door,"
"Devil bit-read that"
Here Sykee took out the Morning Herald,
and showed Maggie the advertisement. Maggie
was thunderstruck There was no denying
the advertisement" She accordingly told Syksee
to 90 into the back yard "wid The dogs" and
await the return of Mr. Snarl. Syksee did so.
In about two minutes, Maggie was again suul-
moncd 10 the door bell.
"What do you want!"
"Mr. Snarl. I've got them dogs he wanted u
"You have? Well, then 60 into the yard wild
the other blackguard."
No. Q followed No. l No. was soon follow
ed by No. 8. who was succeeded by lots 4, 5
and s. By half.past five. the back yard contain
| ed lwcnty.one bull dogs and fourteen spanies.
The former got up a misunderstanding, and, by
the time Mr. Snarl arrived, seven spanirls had
been paced hors du combat, while brindle bull
dog from Fulton Market was going through his
third fight with u "yaller tarrier' from Mount
street.
J Mr.. Snar reached home few minutes before
six Maggie opened the door ana burst out AZ
! follows:
"For the love of the Lord 60 back and stop
EN-. They are eating one another up, and il
not choaked off will devour the cistern. Since
the days of Crummell Eve not heard such a
hul-abaloo entirely"
Snarl "went back"-Snarl looked into the
find oaths sufficiently powerful to do justice to
his feelings. When we left Mr.. Snarl was emp.
tying" The back yard" with axe-helve. The
next day Harry Sampson complained Of him for
having dog fight on his premises" Snarl was
fined twenty-five dollars-fifteen dollars fo,
having such fight" and ten dollars for being
san old hypocritc." II is necessary for us Ia
say, that Harry Sampson slept better that night
than any night since the war with Mexico.-N
