Our American newspapers abound in
advertisements Of such odd and ingeui-
Ous varieties that one is at . loss which
to select as examples Of the most origi-
nal More amusement is afforded BY
the column devoted to wants" per
haps, than any other department, since
few Of these occasional advertisers seen

and punctuation, and, therefore, unless
corrected by the printer, their aun0unc--

the writer
A Boston clergyman, in a hastily
written advertisement, asks for -
young man to take care OF a span Of
horses Of a religious turn of mind;" au1
another person wants "a nurse in q
small gentleman's family" a Tczas
man applies for a Boss hand over five
thousand sheep that can speak Spanish
fuently."
But such advertisements are innumcr-
able and really, in the opinion Of the
collector of bad debts in a certain South
ern State is amusingly illustrated by
the following, which is 4 genuine advor-

on all occasions is evinced by this bone

the following is beyond doubt the most
unique one of that character ever

Few advertisers display moro vivid
imagination than a certain class Of real
estate dealers. George Robins, a fam
Gus pioneer in this line, had so poetic a
pen as to lmbue the most prosaic B-eao
of property with the charms of para
disc. On one occasion he dwelt a length
upon certain hanging wood" con
nected with an estate which he desired
to sell, which the astonished purchase
discovered was nothing more or les
than an old gallows! Again, after &
