A RUSTIC COUPLE.

hUbIlC SOCTLC. O.,
A few evenings since there strolled into
the Clayton House, couPle from the rural
districts. They were lady and gentle
man. The latter walked up to the clerk
aud thus addressed him: "Mister, reckon
you don't know me Pm from Sussex coun-
ty. That are gal with me is Jerushy Jones
mine is Silas Wells. We got to talkin'
tother day and decided to come rite on here
and get spliced. Now mister if yer will jist
send fer mister and help us through with
this little job, why we'll stay all night with
you, We will by jimminy." The clerk CON-
piled with the swain's request the Rev. Mr..
-, was called in, the happy pair invited
into the parlor, and united AS man and wife,
when the ceremony was Completed, the
groom called for an apartment, which was
shown to him and the blushing bride.
The next morning they early sought the
breakfast room. An obliging waiter now
ing that the couple were bride and groom
stepped to the table and laying his hand on
two chairs, pulled them out for the occu
pancy of the couple. The bride appreciated
the kindness of the waiter, sat down and
allowed herself to be pushed up to- the
table. Not so with the groom: he stood
eyeing the waiter, whose hand still rested
on the back of the chair, for q few moments
and finally broke out with, "Not by jug
full, boss, you don't get me to set down OIL
the floor, I've been there, you can't thro"
mud in my eye that way" The wai:el
turned to be bride and asked, "What will
you have' Silas spoke up and said
"Jerushy, you jist git what you want, I've
got plenty of rocks and Wen make this
solid turn out" She ordered some coffe,
and hot rolls, and as the waiter was moving
off, she stopped him with: "Oh yes, yo'
may bring me pickle" Silas sat down by
her side, and the two ate their breaktast
much to the amusement Of the other guest
present.

4 HAPPY NEWFEAR TO ALL!

Nathan Liaberman returns his heartfelt
thanks) ito the people for the increased
patronage that has been bestowed upon
him tho past year of 1875, which has been
with us the best business year of that of
any clothing house in delaware. Our prices
are still the lowest, and we shall continue
to use our great increasing business advan-
tages, and give the people the benefit OF it,
us we have sold last year 50 per cent of the
ready made clothing that has been sold In
Wi mingtoA. We can buy goods from l5 to
. per cent. lower thsn any other house in
the city, and on that account we can afford
to sell the people clothing at retail what
others h',re to pay wholesale, and for the
New Year of 1875 we must swing clear of all
combinations and customs,-with all de-
partments reconstructed, we anticipate
y marvellous and unprecedented increase
of business. Respectfully,
