THU ADVRNTIBBB OF A VICTIM. 1 mice attempted to cul a fol ow out, that is, poke my note into his Business, nu’ildling with the affections of his gal. oiul got kicked for my pains. She is a nice gal; a fine gal is Maty Haims. Levi Smith had been tier ucktiovvletloed admirer for several years. He attended to all her little affairs of amiability, audit was said that they were, and for along lime hurl been engaged to he married— that I Believe is the explanation. 1 would not say a wort! against Levi for the world, but somehow, it had become iinjues.-vd upon my mind, that he was a spooney ; besides he kicked tne; i can’t forget that; I wouid foiget it ii 1 could. ’ 1 Was the happiest moment of my life ; i felt proud, Gcwlei . ..i mink IM been kicked liy a Smith. Hi icked me with a heartiness that cjtiv ,mi me he was in earnest, and tit • night he was solving me right. True, I felt mollified at the same time, not that 1 was .kicked. Oh ! Smith! Levi Smith! yon kicked me in the p escnce of Maty Haines —and tin what I £niiih courted Mary alii'Ut five years before 1 ever thnuoiil of u setting his up plecart. 1 veryb"<ly, because it is custo mary to meddle wit the business if eve ryb'idy else, wondered why they did not get in a tried; old folks said it was scanda lous; young folks said they would not stand it ; ami the girls ccasionally said they would suck him off; I considered the matter and conclude., to cut him out aim iaku iict myself, u he whole figure, besiege the fortress and carry off the prize. 1 lung had cherished a sneaking notion, a: I now 1 Je t (mined to let my feelings have full sway. Accordingly 1 opened a talk with Mary on the subject— i appealed to my admiration for her. I convinced her that Smith was trilling with her feelings ; that fixed bet flint, and she launched into my aims with a rush —it was all over ; I loved her and she loved me. Rut how t > get rid of Smith ! For three weeks we held a two hour’s conver sation each day; and every day we grew fonder of each other—hut how to get rid of Smith ? It was tlie fiist thing thought of when we patted. At last we settled upon a plan w hich we deemed honorable* and just the tiling for our comfort. To tell the truth, 1 did not feel altogether tranquil when I reflected upon the fact of my going the whole length into Mary's af fecti .ns, knowing that she was engaged to him, and that she was deceiving Smith or myself, possibly myself, more probably Smith. One day Smith came to our house on a business enatid. 1 drummed up suf ficient courage to invite him on a walk wth me down the brook, a goodly dis tance from the house, where we could not be interrupted. Once there, I seated myself on a lock, and invited him to help himself totjnoihor, and the following con versation took place : “1 should like to know why you have trotted me away down here ?” “Smith,” said I emphatically, and at the same time putting on a look of awfu' portent, “Srrit", 1 will tell you.” “Well, out with it ; what do you look so confounded silly fur ?” “Silly, Smith! L' t you love Mary Haines 1” "None of vour business.” ‘‘Business, Smith ? Do you intend to marry Mary ?" “Why, you infernal Donkey !” “Donkey, Smith l Are you fioling Mary Haines 1" "Fo ling the deuce! What’s the mat ter with you 1” "Mattel. Smith 1 1 love Mary Ha nes, I intend to marry Iter.” ‘ I have a good intention of giving you a thrashing !” • Thrashing, Smith 1 I would not fool Mary!” “No, I don’t think you would ; you’re j too big a fool for that.” “Ant I Smi li 1 Lo.,k here, Smith, I’m i going to cut you out." “It you go there, I’ll kick you out.” “Noiv, Smith, keep cot 1, and listen.— You have courted Maty Haines for live years.” “That's none of your Business." “And everybody says that you are fool ing her. Now, if you are courting iter for the spoil of it, then, I calculate dial 1 have a perfect right to go in for the sport, too; Hut i( you intend to marry her, 1 | won’t interfere. Now,—” “Well, what next 1” “Do you intend to marry her ?” “As I said before, that is uone of your busines-—and it 1 catch you poking your ugly rmse round the house, I’ll punch your head lor you. Now, don’t open your j dps again, hut just think over how you ; tan best profit hy my advice to you. lie cureiul of your stupid pate, tlia.’s all.” Levi Smith travelled. 1 siuck to the rock. At first I was stunned with his display of stupidity in not appreciating my disin terested intentions ; then indignant that he treated me so cavalierly ; by-and-bye, futtons to think that 1 nad condescended to inform him f tlie laudable motives ilia 1 had induced roe to cut him out. Finally, a pull off my boots and wading after pollv vvogs, in sltal’ow water, thinking that it might cool me off, and thinking of Marv Hanes, I got out of my depth and put tnv foot into a hale, and down I went all over into the creek, which, instead of cooling rny ardor, aroused a fierce desire to flog Levi Smith; not forgetting tliar he was cortsidetable of a man, and 1 considerable of a bay six or seven years his junior, and in size 1 bore the same relation to him that a pile of chips does to a cord of wood For all that, 1 fell that my pluck was equd to his big body, and if opportunity had "fibred just then, I should have taken efficient measures to secure to myself a most comfortable thrashing—l have not tiie least doubt of it. Night came. I was boiling over with indignation, and as anappish ns a hyena after a brisk stirring up, and in that very pie; sant si ate of mind, made Marv Haincs a visit. Walking into the front door in I my usual way vvi hour announcing my ap ! P’oacli by a setiesofrapa on the door ca ; s’ug, 1 made direct for the parlor, and as 1 stepped over the threshhold was strtt k hard enough to fell an ox, hy the discovery "1 Levi and .Mary snugly stowed awnv in one cornet engaged in the animating and gratifying pastime, sometimes denomina tod hugging and kissing! I made a sou of a stop, sudden. “Good evening," said Mary, in no wise disconcerted. I dropped into tbe nearest chair and Drought my left leg to horizontal, testing over my tigl t knee, and then hung mv hat over my hoot and stumped Levi to knock it off. “Stump me, do you ]” “I stump you—dare ye." No sooner said than done. Smith step ping promptly up, gave my hat a kick that sent it flying out of the parlor into the entry, then applied the toe of his boot to me in a manner that sent me out of the front door. 1 thought I had neverencoun’ tered a fe low more powerful in his legs. He did not follow me out—if he had, hang me if 1 don’t think he would have met with some hing that would probably have in duced him to renew the operation. Mary smilingly passed me out my hat, and ad vised me to tun home. The advice I con sidered particularly good, and availed my self of it Itnmediate'y. But the way I pitched tlits rocks into Levi Smith's chick en-coop, as I passed his father’s house, wasn’t lazy, ha ! Well, the very next Sunday, the tu .vn clerk, af.er the forenoon service was over, rose up in tho gallery behind the pul, it, and read from a slip of paper, “The pm posed marriage of Levi Smith to Mary Haines.” BOOK AND JOB PRINTING. Will be executed in the nratist style, and upon the most far or aide terint, at the Cb/ice of the SCTJTEM&ir TSLIBtfITZ, -BY WM. P. HARRISON* NUMBER o About a month after, I danced at iheir wedding.

A dar ling wife, a treasure of a wife is Mary Haines that was—hut Levi Smith will ne ver forgive me for hurrying up his cakes of matrimony. Quaker Courts hi i*. — “Martha, does thee love me TANARUS” asked a Quaker youth of one at whose sltiine his heait’s fondest af fections had been offered up. “ Why, Seth,” answered she, “we are commanded to love one ani.thcr, ate we not 1” “Ah, Mariha! hut dost thou regard me with that feeling which the world cal's love ?” “1 hardly krKW what to tell thee, Seth, 1 have tried To bestow my love on all ; but I may have sometimes thought, perhaps, that thee was gening more than thy share.” The Reverend Rowland Hill, in a • conversation on ihe powers of the letter H, where it was ton ended that it was no letter, but a simple aspiiation or breathing, !o.k the opposite side of the question iind insisted on its being to all intents and purposes u letter, and concluded hy ohsetv •lug that if it were not, it was a very se rious affair’to him, as it would occasion-his being il, all the days of his life. IC7* A performer, having made his first appearance on any stage as the ghost in Ham’et, hut little to the satisfaction of the audience, advanced to the front of the stage, ami aderessed them "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very sor ry to perceive that my exertions are dis pleasing to you, I shall, therefore, with your leave, gire up the ghost."
