A Female SickIes:

Some three months ago a family resi-
ding in the southern portion of this fair
city of ours had occasion to " send East
as merchants do for Spring goods-foF
a young Northern girl with whom they
were acquainted, to take charge Of iha
housekeeping and juvenile department Of
the household, i. e., to wash up sundry
specimens of refactorIy and rebellious
young America, when occasion should re.
quire.
Far down East" came far down South
was received and duly intimated into
the mysteries Of her new Office, and for
the two first weeks gave every satisfac-
ton, rn:il, alas. her roguish eyes and
winning voice began to tell upon the
head of the family with whom she was
engaged. Alas, for the incon3taney of
man that marriage vows should be so
soon forgotten-the loving CLAN e3 that
were wont to be shot across the table to-
the spot where the teapot simmered were
now directed askant and stealthily TO-
ward the side seat occupied by u
Mary Ann" The quiet mistress of the
house their fair diety that presided
over the teacups at meal times-observ-
ed there interchanges of recognition, but
said nothing I; until having occasion to
go out shopping, she took it into hor
head to return rather suddenly, and, TO
her utter establishment, observed through
a creYice in the hall door as she swept
along, her leige lord sitting on a sofa and
clasping the hand OF the faithless Mary
Ann, who, with blushing cheeks and
downcast eyelashes, was listening to q
most passionate appeal, delivered in o
tone almost inaudible in its gentle sof-
ness.
Her mind was made up instantly to
what course to pursue-for she was a
determined woman. She made three
springs and cleared the steps-reached
her chamber, and took from the NANTES
terrible instrument of torture, manufac.
tured from raw hide and sold by the
yard at ten cents each then she crept
down she staircase with the stealthiness
of a cat, but it was with the f~erocity ola
tigress that she sprang into the room
and bounced upon the unsusp"cting cul-
prits, to both of whom she administered
a merciless dose of cowhide, which eom-
pletely scattered and confused the enemy.
The rest of the story is soon told
Sour Mary Ann" is by this time speed
ing onward to her Northern home as fast
as a Pittsburgh packet can bear her,
while the amocous husband of our Sick.

city and docile as ever.-NashuiMe Ban.

each plate covered like a tortise shell,

strong quilts project like those on the

are the arched neck, the bright eyes, the
transparent cases, p%iercers to ~puncture
the skin, a sucker to draw the blood, six
long lointed legs, four of which are fold.

to be thrown out with tremendous force
for that jump which bothers one when
they want to catch him and at the end
Of each leg, hooked claws, to enable him.
to cling to whatever he alights upon. Al

he can draw a load 800 times it's osu

been heard from him during all that time
his better half, the lady who appeared so,
much pleased that he was not John.u'

and the knot was to be tied that very eve

house, and was making his obscryatio Is,

him. The tidings were spread. and laugh.

that had been doleful with disappoint-

heartily invited to stop and partake of,
the wedding supper =; his business called
him away, however, but he has since
learned that the marriage took place
without any outward interruption. If
the real John Fulkerson, of Arkansas,
should be alive and see this; let him take
warning and never approach the house he
has deserted for he is most enphaticalIY

arrested their steps in time. After q few months
had passed, another of the party, James - 4,
also a bank clerk, was arrested ON a charge of
forgery, and ere his trial took place, the dentist
left Brooklyn for Ohio. He has never since
been heard from. 1t has been calculated that he
must have made over six thousand dollars out of
the party. SIS arrest broke up the party for the
