- An 1rishman made a sudden rush into
druggists shop, took from his pocket a
soda water bottle. filed to the bri:n with some
pure liquor, and handing it across the couu-
ter, exclaimed:
"There doctor, sniff thst. will you ?"
The doctor did as he was directed, and
pronounced the liquor to be genuine whisky
"Ihank you, DOCTOR" said the freshman :;
hand it to ME again, if you phase"
The doctor again did as directed, aud asked
what he meant
"och, thin," said Pa:, s'if you will have
It, the priest told me not 10 drink any Of this
unless l got it from the doctor. So here's
your health and the priests health"

Done, said the Yankee; and drawing
forth an x, (upon broken down>ea.t bank Z
Uncovered the bragger's shinplaster.
Kin you swim, Teller ?Y's,
(: "Like duck" said green jacket; aud With.
out further parley the Vermonte1 seized the
knowing Yorker stoutly by the nape of the
neck and the basement of the pants, ierked
him from his foothold and with au almost
superhuman effort dashed the bully heels over
head from the bank, some ten yards into the
Hudson
A terrible shout ran through the crowd as
he fioundered in the water, and amidst the
Jeers and screams of his companions the ducked
bully put back to the shore and scrambled IN
to the bank, half frozen by this sudden and
involuntary cold bath.
'l'h take them ten spots, if you please"
said the shivering loafer, advancing rapidly
to the stake holder.
"lou took us for greenhorns, eh7 Wen
show you how to do things here in York." and
the fellow claimed the twenty dollars.
"Wa'n, I reckon yeou wunt take m t.n
spots jist yet capt'iu.''
why you've lost the bet"
Notegzackly. Ididnt calki'ate on deuin'
it the first time; but tell you kin du it,"
and in spite of the loafer's utmost efforts to
escape him, he seized him by the scruG and
seat of his overalIs and pitched him three
yards further into the riveu than upon the
first trial
Again the bully returned, amidst the shouts
OF his mates, who enjoyed the sport i'm
mensely.
"Third time never falls said the Yankee
stripping off his coat Il kin deu it. tell ye."
"Hold on !' cried the almost petrifed vic.
tim.
"And I'll do i. if try till to, morrow morn
ing
81 give it up" shouted the sufferer between
his teeth. which now chartered like mad
BADGERS, take the money"
The Vermonter very cody pocketed the ten
spots, aud as he turned away remarked:
1--WE amt much acquainted with your
smart folks deoun here in York, but we some>
times take the starch out of 'em I'D our way:
aud P'raps yeon wuut try it ontu strangers
sgin. reck'n yeou wunt," he continued
and putting on broad grin of good humor.
ne left the company to their reflections.
