An Amusing Scene.

An amusing Scene.
Dropping yesterday into the counting
room of a hardware merchant, we were
slightly amused at an incident showing
the uneasiness of the letter " Hatch,
when misapplied by that class of the com
munity born within the hearing of Bow
bells
az want bill, sir, said eockney to
the proprietor:
"Whose biil7"
Mrs Habits, sir
Proprietor to entry clerk" James,
make out Mrs. Habits bill. -
" Yes sir"
Entry clerk looks over the ledger with
great diligence, but can't find Mrs
Habits name in the list of debtors He
puzzles for some minutes without avail
Cockney grows weary.
" I wish you'd please 'urry, young
man"
Proprietor steps up, little irritated,
and comes to entry clerks assistance.
There's no such name as Habit here,
sill" he says; there must be some mis-
take"
Proprietor looks frowningly over the
ledger and makes up his mind that the
entry clerk is correct.
4" Do you know what Mrs. Habit pur-
chased?' he asked of Mr.. Cockney.
3" Yes, partly, for l hordered some of
the things. There was 'ickory andled
ammer, and clothes 'orse, sent home
last Tuesday"
Again the books were searched with
out avail The proprietor was about
giving up in despair of finding the ac-
count of Mrs. Habit, when Mr.. Cockney
drew up and looked over his shoulders
at the ledger The mystery was then
solved:
"Why, sir, no wonder you can't find
it" said the cockney, 'sblessed if you
hain't looking under the wrong letter.
The name hain't among the Haitches it
it is among the Hays
The leaves were further turned, and
among the " Hays" was found the proper
account, properly charged to Mrs Alb
bott. The bill was duly made out, and
the cockney paid it He then went on
his way grumbling over the stupidity Of
people who can't disseminate between
the Haitches and the Hays.
