+" Chalk Your Own Door.

His sproper name was jeremiah Mar
den; but he had not been in the viii
lnge week before everybody called
him Jerry Marden, and within six
weeks he was known as Jerry Mud
der. But why Muddler? Who gave
him that name, and why was it given?
The giver is unknown--for who ever
knows the givel of nicknames but
the reason for its being bestowed was
that Jerry was always muddled with
drink.
He was very good shoemaker, but
he stood no chance with George Stev
cns, Il sober man, and so drifrea into
becoming cobbler.
Jerry's One idea was to get a job, and
having done it, to invest the proceeds
in drink at his favorite beer shop,
. The Dram Arms The consequence
was, that Jerry was seldom sober, and
had he not possessed an iron constitu-
ton, two years of such a kife must
have killed him; but he dragged on
working to-day and fdling tomorrow,
and, drinking whenever drink could
he got, and finally he drifted into
debt.
His score at "The Dram Arms y was
"A large one, and the chalks stood up
against him like files of soldiers, but
Jerry ignored their eXistence-paying
of Il little now and then, and drinking
more, each time increasing the army
of debt against him, until one evening
Mr.. Richard Rewitt, the landlord OF
the aforesaid "Oram Arms cried
"halt"
~ cant go on any longer, Jerry
he said The last sum had of you
was three shillings. and you have paid
nothing for a fortnight. '
"sWork is slack, lnurmured Jerry
"but the harvest is coming on, and
then everybody will have fhtir soline

to pay You of.

"but YOU will have as much as y0l

Look at them. Those chalks are
