WnLLAx LELAND introduced another
young gentleman to a young lady last
evening, ct the same time whispering in
his ear:
.sShe's worth six hundred thousand dol
lars, If she's worth q cent my boy"
Then he went and told the unsuspecting
young lady that the young gentleman
va worth just half a million in his
own right. After that the remOrseless
William went on dancing just as if
he hadn't committed a great and heinous
crime.
"What was the result?"
Why the innocent young man was all
devotion. He purchased two three dollar
tickets, and invited her right straight
over to the Congress Hall ball, sent boy
after a five-dollar bOquet, promenaded on
that young lady happy. She was happy,
too. A half million is enough to make
any young lady happy. Well, after dane
ing four "squaresn and three grounds, /"
they took stroll up and down the long
hall and sat in the window. That is the
correct thing for "spooney' people to do
they say. Then he unbosomed himself
He told her how he longed for a compan-
ion in life. How he was not ambitious,

"Well, Mr.. Thompson, what qualities
would you ask in a good wife =" asked the
trembling Miss Brown.
"Oh, nothing particular, only good
health, even temper, intellectually,

ners, and

Brown.

His Name in France.

heard a story to-day which is so good
that l must repeat it; and, moreover, /
can tell you that it is absolutely true. An
English gentleman travelling last week in
the south of France, encountered fel-
lOw-countryman, and they "got-a-talking,
as Mr.. Samuel Weller did when he went
to pay Mrs. Bardell's rent He found
that his new acquaintance was not strong
in FTench-indeed, he was very weak,
but he said he was doing all he could to
learn. When they arrived at their ulti-
mate station, they got out and began to
inquire for luggage. My friend got his
after an effort, but that of "Mr. Wood
could not be found. AS the Wood in
question was British oak, and could not
explain himself, he asked my friend to
act for him. He did so, and the result
was no luggage for any "W" But" at
last shouted the frantic man, "there they
arc-twO pOrtmanteaux, one carpetbag,
one hAtbox." mo, my dear sir" said
his interpreter, you really must be
wrong; l have looked at that luggage 1t
belongs TO one NJ. Bots" "Of course it
does" was the angry reply; ''that is my
my name-in France; | found it in my
dictionary" This is a fact, and before
that translator gets his goods he will have
to endure awful purgatory, and most
likely have to pay the expenses of a com
mission sent over to England to examine
if he really is the English Wood travelling
as the Monsieur Bots in France "-Felir

One of the undoubted rights of a married
woman is 10 be protected by her husband from
the chances of future dependence, or the pos
sible destitution that is likely to result from
his early death, before he has had time to
make sufficient provision for her future sup
port and that of the children he may leave be-
hind him. One of the most certain means of
making this provision is by means of policy
of Life Insurance, small annual payment
will secure a large amount at his death to the
family of the insured One of the safest of
these companies is the Penn Mutual Life In
surance Company, OF Philadelphia, through
which Life Policies may be obtained, or agen-
ces secured by application to the home office,

DESTRUCTION IN DIsGUIsE.-It is a fact
that mixtures of bad liquors and acid
astringents are often given for medicines.
They are potent 10 destf0yi and may be
safely warranted to ruin, morally land
physically, any human being that sticks
to them long enough. More drunkards
have been made by these villainous con
coctions, labeled medicines, than by the
liquors of Commerce. Alcoholic poisons,
advertised as remedies, are more mis-
chievous than tavern drains. For inter
mittent and remittent fevers, as well as
for all other diseases which these fiery
frauds are falsely certified to relieve, DIR.
WALKERS VINEGAR BTTrERs, the ne plus
ultra of vegetable medicines, is a positive
cure. But this is not all ; the great Tenn
pelance Elixir is a sovereign specific for
the depraved appetite for stimulants,
created by the false tonic and bogus re
storati0es, of Missionaries Of Intemperance.
Within the present year many well-known
citizens have certified that a course of
VINEGAR BITTERs invariably obliterates
the desire for spirituous excitants.
