nublal felicity has recently been forced upon
our attention. On Tuesday morning, man
with wrathful features came into the Office,
and laconically ordered the insertion in the
journal of "To Whom it May Concern, "
lorbiddng all persons from harboring or trust
ing his wife, ETC.; he paid the bill as if it was
pleasure to him, and left In the afternoon
he came again, looking cheerful this time,
ana desired the advertisement suppressed
las she and have made up" He took his
card and money, and went his way, buoyant
and happy. But the next morning he came
back once more, saying "It's no use, she's
got to be posted, and handing over his pa
pers, disappeared. Before night he returned,
and again withdrew his advertisement, init
mating that this time the reconciliation was
genuine and everlasting. He did not put in
an appearance the next day, but the day fol-
lowing he walked in, and with an air of des-
peration, ordered for the third time the mo-
mentous advertisement to be published. 1t
was put in type, and as the paper was about
to go to press, nervous, sharp featured,
bright-eyed woman of fifty, appeared on the
scene, bringing writing from her husband to
the following purport:
| AUGUSTA, Aug. Is.
| To the Editors Of hennedec Journal.
Please give my vile the card left
with you for publication, and do not publish the
same.
She bore it off in triumph, and there the
evidently is ahead
