A SHORT time since, q young man living
an Ogbensburg, New York, whom we shall

a chair and hurled it at the rat smashing the
chair in the operation. Another chair Jared
the same fate, when his friends seized him
and, with terror depicted in their faces, de-

"Why, don't you see that big --

after the manner of rats, was making its way
around the room close to the walls.
They all saw it, of course, but all replied

The druggist demonstrated, but all TO no
purpose his customer would have the squIils,
remarking:
s'All the other syrup is made of sugar,
lemon draps, sassapariller and such things to
humbug folks"
The squills were procured, and our hero
requested to pour out for himself; and he
did so, taking bountiful quantity IN order
to get his moneys worth.
The heroine being asked how she would
take hers, raised herself to the supposed dig
nifty of city belle, and replied:
s'Reckon as how I'll take mine without
any sweetnin''
Her wish was complied with, fer the drug
gist was nonplused at the independence of
the happy pair They touched their glasses,
drank. and sat down, as they remark
ed, to let it settle. In passing their own
opinions on the drinks, they gave anything
but favorable decisicn. III few minutes
our hero began to experience unpleasant SEN
sations.

answer was returned, up came the squills and

cents to save my life.'
The wife fell on her knees and attempted
to comfort her husband but he was not to be
comforted-a and not until the last of the
squills had left his stomach did he entertain
a hope of remaining in this world. The
couple vowed vengeance against the man who
told them to call for squiIls to sweeten their
