1 weut back into the parlor and handed
the line* to Miss P- She *«»*! ‘hey were
very beautiful, hut that I had made a nu«-
lake in the name.
••I bog a thousand pardona", said I much
ombarraaaed, “hot 1 understood you to say
the name was Susan E." .
‘•So I did”, she replied; “the Susan t. is
correct, but you have made a mistake in the
P k‘‘?n* the l’higgs! Why, what is there
wrong about the Phiggs ?”
“Why, yon spell it with an F. instead of
Good heavens, what a ridiculous blunder!
I apologized for the mistake, and promised
to rewrite the acrostic and incorporate tho
Ph. She retained the copy ns it stood.
Just before she left tho party, accorn pa
nied by young Squanderson, she asked .ne
if I was foud of skating. I told her I was
passionately fond of it, aud asked her how
she liked it- She said the word passion
ately was too feeble to describe fully her
fondness for it. Whereupon 1 invited her to
go with me to Cedar Hill the next afternoon.
She said she would go with pleasure.
I bought two pairs ol skates nt sls each,
payable the latter puft of next Week, and,
calling around at the United States Hotel
for her at the nppoiuted hour, we went out.
It took me a good while to fasten on Miss
Phigg’s skates. My apology for consum
ing so much time is that all the other young
men do the same thing. Why il is 1 scarce
ly know. I only know that I thought to
myself that if nobody but pretty girls went
to Cedar Hill Park, 1 would pay the proprie
tors a handsome bonus for the position ol
skate fastener to the establishment. Such
is life when the heart reposes in the
sunshine of youth.
Our skates adjusted, we went out on the
ice, a thing I hadn't done before for years,
and I felt as awkward as an elephant
might feel on stilts. But knowing that
there is nothing like-self-confidonce and
boldness in skating, I struck out bril
liantly, with Miss P.’s soft white hand in
mine, and with my splendid new dress
coat buttoned tightly across my chest. At
about the third or fourth dash I threw my
heels at Miss Phigg’s hat, and attempted
to stand on my head. For a moment or
so I had barely consciousness enough left
to feel that I had been thrown upon a cast
iron pavement from the top of tho Custom
House, and that the entire catalogue of a
large female boarding-school bad fallen on
top of me. For the next moment or two I
was as delirious as a child with the brain
fever, and sat upon the ice with a bran
new eight dollar plug-hat mashed upon my
head as flat as if a barrel of salt had rolled
over it, and with my coat bursted in the
back from the collar to tho waist. I must
have presented a melancholy spectacle.
Somebody was kind enough to take off my
skates and stand me on my feet- Just then I
couldn’t have told who I was, where I was,
nor what I was doing there. I gazed about
me like an idiot in a strange crowd. Sud
denly somebody seized me by the arm, and
jerking me half way around, exclaimed
fiercely:
“Why the , sir, didn't you let this
lady’s hand go when you felt like a tool ?”
I gazed into the man’s face without utter
ing a word. I was too thoroughly bewil
dered to comprehend his meaning. I felt
that when 1 fell 1 lost my hold on everything
on earth. Shaking me very rudely, he re
peated the question. The shaking brought
me to my senses
“ Who are you, sir ?” I asked, “that you
presume to champion this lady, who is here
under my protection?”
“My name, sir, is Phiggs ; I am the hus
band of this damnably ill-treated lady.”
The husband of Miss Phiggs ! The words
chilled ray heart to the core, f felt that 1
was going out of my head again fast, and
requested Mr. Phiggs to shake me some
more. Turning to Miss Phiggs, with what
must have been a look of unutterable de-
spatr.
“Susan, O, Susan,” said I, in a voice satu
rated with tears, “is this Phiggs?’’
“It is.”
“And, Su—boo—hoo—hie —usat:, are you-
Mrs. Phiggs ?”
“I am.”
I reeled like a famished mule with the
blind-staggers, and fell into the arms oi a
by-stander, who led me gently front the ice
and sent me home in a lreck, a miserable
wreck of ray former self.
The next day I received a note from
Phiggs, inclosing my acrostic, anrl request
ing me to meet him the following morning
on some private business a few miles back
of Jeffersonville. I wrote a reply, promis
ing to be there punctually.
When I reached the ferry-boat with a
couple of friends I found Phiggs there with
a couplo oi his friends. What his motives
were for wanting to be shot at 1 can’t tell.
As for myself, my head was so badly swelled,
that, now that I knew I had lost the beauti
ful I’higgs, it was a matter of indifference
to me whether 1 was shot at or not. I felt,
with Mr Toots, that I could “glide into the
silent tomb with ease and smoothness.’
Hall way across the river one of Phigg’s
friends came to where I was sitting on a keg
of ten-penny nails.
“Mr. Bricks,” said he, “is there no way in
which this impending effusion of blood can
be prevented ?”
“Yes,” said I, “ii you will kick Phiggs
into the river and let him stay there, you
will very effectually prevent it.”
“But seriously,” said he, “can’t this un
happy difficulty be honorably and amicably
adjusted in some way?”
“I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” I replied, “I
will confess that the jerking of Mrs. Phigg’s
heels from under her was wholly uninten
tional on my part if Phiggs will acknowl
edge that he made a fool of himself
about it."
Phigg’3 friend returned to bis principal,
and, after a brief consultation, Phiggs came
forward, and offering me his band, said :
“Allow me to say, Mr. Bricks, that your
conduct throughout this whole affair has
l>een that of . a perfect gentleman. Your
apology is amply sufficient, and I accept it
with tho conditions annexed. But here we
are, sir, at Jeffersonville—let’s all go up
town aud take something.”
We went up town and took something,
and the terms of settlement having been
reduced to writing for publication and
signed in duplicate by Plnggs and myßolf,
we walked back to the river and returned
to the city on the next boat. During the
friendly conversation which enlivened the
voyage I learned that Phiggs had boen
told that I was as blood-thirsty os a tigress
bereft of her offspring, and would tight tho
very dickens himself. Os course I did not
tell him 1 had been assured that lie was the
most consummate coward that over ran
from an empty gun.
At the corner of Fourth and Jefforson
streets wo ported.
“ Phiggs,” said I, taking his hand, “you
live, I believe, in Chicago.”
Phiggs admitted that he did.
“ Ana is it your intention, may I ask, to

lie assured me that it was.
“ Theu,” said I earnestly, at the samo
time wringing his hand till he squirmed,
•• when your divorce suit comes off, don't
fail to telegrnph mo at once—l would like
much to attend the trial.”
As I spoko I saw the iron enter his soul.
I saw that he would never again make
Chicago his home. I was avenged.

The Shepherd’s Voice; or, “It
is I.” — A lady walking on some downs
the morning after a terrific thunder
storm, met a shepherd. She asked
him what his sheep had done during
tho storm. “ Ah!’’ he replied, “ I
folded them as usual in the evening;
but when the storm came on I thought
of the poor things, and went out to
look after them. When I got a little
distance from tho fold, I saw them
jumping about in the greatest alarm;
but the moment they heard my voice
they were quite quiet.” Just so, storm
and tempest may break over the be

Shopher’s voice, saying, “It is I,” and
there is a great calm.

PERKY DAVIS’
VEGETABLE
PAIN KILLEII.
WE BEG LEAVE TO CALL TIIE ATTEN
TION of the public to this long tested and
unrivallod
FAMILY MEDICINE.
The PAIN KILLER is a purely vegetable
compound ; and while it is a most efficient He u
edy for Pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even
in the most unskillful bauds, for
SUMMER UQMPPAINT,
or any other form of Bowel Disease in children
or adults. It is an almost certain cure, and has,
without doubt, been moro successful in curing
the various kinds of
CHOLERA
than any other known remedy, or even the most
skillful physician. In India, Africa and China,
where this dreadful disease is over mono or less
prevalent, the
PAIN KILLER
is considered by the natives, as well as European
residents in those climates,
A SURE REMEDY.
Asa Tonic for tho Stomach, it is unrivalled.
A few doses will relieve severe cases of
INDIGESTION,
and it is ofteu a perfect cure for
DYSPEPSIA
in its most aggravated forms. Its tonic and
stimulating properties, arousing the system to
vigorous action, reuder it a most effectual
cure for
COLDS AND COUGHS,
when used according to directions.
For external application, it is unsurpassed by
any medical preparation known.
RHEUMATISM
and Neuralgic Affections are quickly relieved
and open cured by it. Any soroncss in the
Muscles or Joints can be relieved by its applica
tion. It cures instantly tho most violent
TOOTHACHE.
It should always bo kept near at band, to be
used in cases of severe
BURNS OH SCALDS.
If applied immediately, according to directions,
it will give instant relief, and prevent blistering.
It is peculiarly adapted to the wants of
SEAMEN,
and persons making sea voyages, and no vessel
should sail without a supply of it. One captain
writes us:
“I have made several voyages—often with
emigrants—and though I keep a. good medicine
chest, and have several times had a good deal ol
sickness on board, I have found the Pain Killer so
efficient in all cases as to entirely preclude the
use of all other medicines.”
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that the
sales have constantly increased, aud wholly
upon its own merits. The effect of the Pair.
Killer upon the patient, when taken internally
in cases of Colds, Cough, Bowel Complaints,
Cholera, Dysentery, and other affections of the
system, lias been truly wonderful, and has won
for it a name among the medical preparations
that can never be forgotten. Its success in re
moving Pain, as an external remedy, in cases of
Burns, Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Sting of
Insects, and other causes of suffering, has sc
cured for it such a host of testimony, as an
almost infallible remedy, that it will be banded
down to posterity as one ot the greatest medical
discoveries of tho nineteenth century. Tho
magical effects of the Pain Killer, when taken
or used according to directions, are certain.
You have only to be sure that you buy the
genuine article and adhere to the directions in
its use, and you will admit its wonderful medi
cinal properties.
The genuine Perry Davis’ Pain Killer is now
put up in panuel bottles with the words Davis
Vogotablo Pain Killer blown in tho glass ; and
with two steel engraved labels on each bottle—
