A Young man of this place is disposed to
thinl that Bulwer made a mistake when
he wrote "There is many a slip twixt the
cup and the lip" and that instead he meant
TO write There ia a alp twixt the door
step and ground" Whether he meant the
latter or not, the aforesaid voung man
made it practical on last Sunday, az he
was taking his leave of a certain place in
town. He was on the top doorstep. which
WAS abnnt Ave feet from the ground, when
he made his bow, his feet slipped and he
fell a fall that shook the earth for yards
around. The impression he left on the
ground is yet diistinguishable, which shonld
serve as a v warning to other young men.
