Walking - Raft.

There WAS a fellow once stepped out Of
the door of tavern on the Mississippi,
meaning to walk mile up the shore to
the next tavern, Just at tho landing
there lay big raft, one of the regular
old-iashoned whalers-s raft mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord say
the raft was mile long, and he said to
hlmself-"l will go forth and see this
great wonder, and let my eyes behold the
umbers which the baud of man hath
hewn," So no got on at the flower enc, and
began to ambulate over the raft in pretty
fair time. But lust as he got started the
raft started too, and as he walked up the
river it walked down, both going at the
same rate, When he got to the end of
the sticks, he found they were near shore,
and in the sight of a tavern SO he landed
and walked straight into the bar-room he'd
come out Of The general sameness Of
things took him a little aback, but he
looked the landlord steady in tho face, and
settled it in his own way;
"Pubhcan," asid he "aro you gifted
with a twin brother, who keeps similar
sized tavern, with duplicate wife, com
porting wood-plle, and corresponding
circus bill mile from here 2"
The tavern keeper was fond Of fun,
and accordingly said that it was just
so.
" And, publican, have you among your
dry goods for the entertainment of man
and horse any whisky of the same size of
that of your brother's?"
And the tavern man said that from the
rising of the sun, even unto the going
down of the same, he had.
They took the drinks, when the stranger
said, " Publican, that twin brother of
yours is a fine Young mana very fine
man, indeed. But do you know Pm
afraid that he suffers a good deal with
the Chicago diphtheria ?"
And what's that 2" asked the todd
sticker.

A WIFE AGENcY.-The Culpepper
(Va.) Observer has this queer paragraph
about wife agency :"
We have lately heard of gentleman
who claims to have been in this business
in Fauquer, who boasts of his success,
saying he has been successful as to the
number of marriages he has brought about
and in getting off some hard cases in the
way of old maids. He has shown a list
of one hundred and siXty-fve names of
females in Fauquier, many of whom he
confesses, have not the ghost of chance
for matrimony; but he takes all the
names he can get, which for five dollars
he registers as candidates for matrimony.
He pointed to one name exultingly
which had been crossed off, she had tried
before the war, during the war-both
sides. Fed and Confed-" bat got her
off at last"

his affairs and was on the point of leaving
when he was met by man Of his &C
quaintance. Il believe they both reside
in New York, who had invested six
thousand dollars, all he had. in an ex-
perimental well, and had been boreing and
boreing until he had given out in discour-
agement. And coming to this man he
said: shall loose six thousand dollars
if I am obliged to give up my interest in
that WE'LL and he begged him to take it
