siblr f,r the following
4 gentleman of our acquaintance wished
to purchase some good brandy to be used in
sickness, and called on an old German liquor
dealer in Philadelphia. When the following
dialogue cnsued:
"lIaye you any imported brandy-gcnuine
stuff,
Vera goot prandy. Come and trink some
clarct punch dat ish goot too, ven dc vcddcr
ish hot"
"N,, | thank you, / want little brandy

r Come and try de punch. One vricnd
from Germany peen here see him not pc
fore for my years. We poem Thinking dc
punch.
"Comc and tell me about the brandy. l
want a little Of the best in market"
The old gentleman was a little mellow
Just enough to make him ialkative, and the
visit of his friend had so warmed his sympa-
thics os-to make him communicative.
"Now my vricnd, you wants goot prandy.
Dare ish some prandy l makes myself aud
dat ish goot. Dare ish some / pought in

iSh some dat imported from Nrancc, and

"Did you say you made that lot yourself?'
"Dat | makes myself, and | rdrrdUts dat.

"Whskcy don't want any of your infer

(Old gentleman, solemnly) at is all made
