Vingt.Un

We have friend-or with the empha

friend, who for the nonce we shall call the
Major, though his right to the prefix is
somewhat questionable. Now the Major
has had through life one besetting sin,
and that is an unconquerable love OF a
certain game known as vingt-un. This well
known game, fat wife and large fam
lily, are about the only weakness that can
be laid to the Majors charge. How often
he has been married the record sayeth
not, nor is it important. Suffice it that
during over 80 odd years of the Majors
welded life, as his wealth increased and
his hairs became grey, one after another
in regular succession his board was hon
ored with the presence of miniature editions
of himself, until the number had reached
20, when the Major concluded things had
gone far enough, and should be stopped.
But they did not, as the Major in due time
found out, for he had calculated without
consulting his wife. There were indica-
tons of another bond Of union and well
spring of happiness. The Major became
nervous, for his nomenclature was eXhaus
ted. In his desperation he finally declared
that the coming heir to his name and
fortunes, whether boy or girl should be
named vngt an.
In vain the old woman demonstrated.
The Major was inexorable. The new com
err being the twenty first, should wag his
way through life with that appropriate
title. In an ante-room the Major awaited
the announcement of the little stranger s
sex. The nurse appeared and to the Ma
jor's horror whispered the terrible little word
-twins! Busted, by thunder!' said the
Major, "uhy didn't stand en- twenty.

DARN THE ExpENsEs-The following
occurred recently at church which has
we are told, something of a repu alton
for its noisy mode OF worship:
During an evening prayer one member
was praying with much earnestness and
an abundance of zeal, rubbing his hands,
shouting at the top of his voice, while
number Of others were Ginning n,
indorsing what the praying member said,
and joining in the entreaty and supplica-
ton by such eXclamations as yes do,
Lord" DC. The praying member went on
with his prayer, growing more excited,
more animated, more enraptured, beseech-
ing, supplicating and imploring, saying,
''come down here, Lord; come right down
among us; come right here to night;
come right through the roof" Another
member equally excited and enthusiastic
and who, it seems, was carried away by
the shouting brother, and had the tan
trums quite as bad, here joined in and
said. "Yes, come, Lord. right down
through the roof AMI I'll pay for the
Shingles"

for lettering signs and as the firm was
obliged to have new sign an order
was given, and it was speedily "put in

the bill was presented, when he of the
short name made his declaration that he
should be charged but one-third of the
whole expenses, as his occupied only one
third of the sign. This reason was not

Benefit of Advertising

A few days since, a young Frenchman,
keeping bachelors hall in Union street,
lost small black and white cat, which
had been sent to him from Paris A
friend advised the Frenchman to offer a
reward for it in the Ledgr. In accord
dance with this advice, an advertisement
was inserted, Offering a reward of five
dollars for the return of black and
white cat, which had been lost from a GER
tain house in Union street. The hour
for the appearance of the person having
the lost feline, was eight o'clock A. NJ
At the hour named, the tell rung vio-
lently, ard when the young bachelor
opened the door, to the establishment of
the Frenchman, there appeared before his
vision about fifty boys each having a
black and white cat under his arm, while
another party had bags containing cats
The party made a rush for the door,
each clamorous for the examination of their
particular feline, The Frenchman closed
the door in dispair and during the day
refused to answer the bell, when it was
rung by boys having cats. This continued
for two or three days and the French
man fearing there would be no cessation
in the presentation of black and white
cats, removed his lodgings to another
street. a letter was received by the loser
of the cat from a man in Pottsvile. stating
that he had very pretty cat, very tame
and atfectionate, which he would sell for
three dollars. The Frenchman did not
