against a telegraph pole.
Beg your pardon" said he, " ! hope no
offence It's rather dark, and she street is
narrow, you sec.
In few moments he came in contact with
another pole.
Couldn', help it, sir," said he, lifting his
hat; " never saw such crooked lanes as VIC
have here in this city
Again he ran foul Of pole, this time with
such force it sent him backward to the ground.
Look here, neigbbor, you need not push a
fellow down because lie happened to touch
you; the road is as much mine as yours, and
have as much right to be here as you have,
YOU old stick-in-the-mud."
He picked himself up, and made another eff
fort to reach his home, but he soon came plump
against another pole.
Il shan't make any more apologies" said
he; al if you get into the middle Of the street
auG stand in my way, that's your lookout, and
not mine.
Proceeding on his journey again, aud lc-
coming angry aud dizzy he seemed 90 be en-
tangled in an iuextricable labyrinth Of telc-
graph poles, which LED him to make general
speech:
Gentleman, you are not doing the fair
thing. You DO not give man a chance. You
ruu from one sideof the street to the other,
right in my way"
Just then he met a friend, aud taking him
by the hand, be said:
There is a procession going along the street,
and every man is drunk they have been run
ming against me all the way from the club.
knocked one Of the fellows down, and one Of
the fellows knocked me down, and then a lot
Of them got around me, and believe they
