THE BEST, CHEAPEST AND MOST SUCCESS
FUL FAMILY PAPER IN THE UNION.
HARP ERHWEEKL Y.
Price, Five Cents a Number; §2.50 Per Year.
WE would not so often cull attention to Har
per's Weekly if we were not well satisfied that it
is the best family paper published in the United States,
and for that reason, and that alone, we desire to see it
undermine and root out a certain kind of literature too
prevalent, which blunts the morals of its readers, vilia
ates their taste for sensible reading, and is altogether
bad in its* effects. —New London Advertiser.
As Harper’s Magazine lias done much to drive out
the yellow-covered literature, so we should be glad to
see this new Weekly take the place of those papers
which depend for excitement on poor, trashy novels.—
New York Evangelist.
Harper’s Weekly abounds in original matter, spicy,
piquant, instructive and entertaining. It has, and de
servedly, a very large and increasing circulation. It is
a tip-top family paper. —Boston Journal.
It (Harper’s Weekly) is the proper size for binding,
and an excellent opportunity is afforded for any one who
wishes to preserve the history of the country, as it is
made, to do so by filing Harper’s Weekly. —Fonliac
(Mich.) Jacksonian.
Its fresh leaves, its clear type, its entertaining vari
ety, its severe but just criticisms upon the follies of the
times, its elegantly written and instructive articles, and
its able correspondence, all combine to make it the mo
del newspaper of our country, and one that every fam
ily must prize. Its condensed weekly summary oiFor
eign and Domestic Intelligence is altogether superior to
that contained in any other journal. Being published,
too, in a form for preservation and binding, if taken care
of as it deserves to be, it will be found in future years,
as welcome a companion for the family nnd fireside as
the day on which it was first perused.— M’ Connellsville
(O.) Inquirer.
Its illustrations are far ahead of any journal of the
kind in the country. Its pen portraits of distinguished
living men arc, of themselves, worth the price
volume. — N. Y. Christian Advocate and Journal.
Fresh, sparkling and vivacious. Its circulation is
probably the greatest success ever achieved by any pub
lication at such an early period of its existence.—Brook
lyn Eagle.
The best family paper we ever saw. Its pages embrace
a great variety of reading matter, and its articles on the
leading topics of the day are written with an ability
which would do credit to the “Thunderer” of the Bri
tish Press—the London “ Times.” In point of illustra
tions, it is ahead of any of our pictorial sheets. —New
London Advertiser.
“ Harper’s Weekly ” readers and popularity
with every issue, because it aims at and hits that aver
age requirement for family reading which’ this.erirerpri
stng house so well comprehend. Its articles are brief,
timely and devoid of partisanship; it is as versatile in
subjects as it is even in tone,besides being marvelously
cheap.— Boston Transcript.

FREE GIFT DISTRIBUTION.
THE Proprietors of PORTER’S SPIRIT OF THE
TIMES, will, in July next, make a free distribution of
§I,OOO among their Yearly Subscribers whose yearly
subscription shall have three or more months to run,
after the date of distribution will be governed by the
result.of the great radethat is to bqtttin in England on
the 28th of July next, known as the race for
The Good wood Cup.
This contest is tinder the special patronage of the
Duke of Richmond, and is oiie of the most princely of
the English racing year. It was the meeting selected
last year for the memorable<Te&t of the American horses
in the English Turf; and it is more than probable that
Prioress and other American horses will, on the ap
proaching occasion, appear in it again.
As there will, probably, be thirty or forty horses en
tered, and some fourteen or fifteen to start, wc propose
to distribute the sl,oooas follows:
First, we will confer a
Tree Gift of |sfO In a sh
on the Subscriber who, in the distribution, shall obtain
die nnme of the winning horse.
* The subscriber holding the name of the second horse,
a
Frcetliftof ja ;
and to the Subscriber who holds the name of the third
horse,- a
Free Gift or SIOO.
Among those who hold the names of the remaining
horses which started, other than the first throe, we will
distribute a
Free Gift of SIOO
in equal parts; and among those who hold the names ot
horses which were entered, and did not start, we will
distribute in like manner, the remaining
Free Gift off.$100;
so that there will be,"in all, ?1,000 divided among about
thirty gifts, in cash.
The distribution of the names of the horses among
our Subscribers will he effected by putting them into a
glass ballot-box, and taking them thenceforth simulta
neously with the number of the receipt of each Yearly
Subscriber as found upon our books. The horse thus
drawn will, ofcourse, become the chosen competitor for
the victory to the Yearly Subscribes whose number is
drawn with it. In this way, the whole thirty-five or
forty horses will be distributed among our regular
Yearly Subscribers; and each subscriber will know if he
has drawn a horse, by the duplicate number of his re
ceipts, which we will forward him in advance from our
books.
The distribution of the horses’ names will take place
on the evening of Saturday, the 24th of July, at our
Office. 348 Broadway, New York, on which occasion
we will also distribute the names of the same horses in
another, out entirely separate
Free Gift to A guilts of SSOO
among those of our Retail Agents who shall have been
in the habit of selling ten or more copies of our paper
regularly, for eight weeks previous to such distribution;
and for every extra ten copies each Retail Agent or
Newsman may sell, he shall have an additional share in
the Agents Distribution.
We take this mode of rewarding our Subscribers and
Aids, in preference to employing Traveling Agents—
choosing rather thus to give, what we would pay away
in such expenses and commissions, to the Subscriber
himself. By this means, the Subscriber receives, for
the usual subscription price, not only his paper for the
year, but a large sum in cash, in the shape ofa very novel
and interesting sagacity.
The subscription price of Porter’s Spirit ‘is $3.00 a
year. Postmasters and others who furnish ten Yearly
Scribers, will, in addition to their premium, be entitled
to one share.of the Agents’ Gift.
It is our present intention to continue this system ot
Free Gifts, and make to our Subscribers and Agents
two Free Distributions during the following and each
succeeding year ; the first to be decided by
The Epsom Derby of 1856,
to be run in England in the early Spring (and for which
two American horses are already entered,) and the
others by
The Ifoncastcr St. Leger,
the annual great meeting of England for the Fall. As
in both these last named meetings there are alway s about
two hundred high-mettled racers entered, the interest
that will attend the distribution of the names of the
competitors among the readers of our paper may easily
be conceived.
For the present year, in consequendfc'of the close ap
proach of the Derby, we have chosen, for convenience,
the grand race for
The Goodwood Cttp.
P‘ S. —The distribution will take place publicly, un
der the superintendence of a Committee of Subscribers
and News-Agents. GEO. WILKES & CO.

Patent Non-Explosive, Self-Generating
aw
THE public is now favored with the best and
“Most Economical Light” that can be produced.
Among the various experiments to approximate artifi
cial light to the pure and mellow light of the natural
sun, none have pioved successful until the Non-explo
sive, Self-generating GAS LIGHT was invented. This
light is adapted to churches, hotels, vessels, rail roads,
colleges, private dwellings, and in fact everywhere,
where there is a lujlit needed —and only requires a trial
to test its
Superior Advantages over all others.
The substance used in generating Gas is the common
burning fluid, and the burner is so simple in its con
struction that it requires but little time and ingenuity to
Keep it in good running order. The burner formsitsown
gas, being evaporisive and decomposed by its own col
orification. Unlike the ordinary fluid-lamp, it does
not. throw ofl'unconsumed carbon, but it forms from the
fluid- ‘PURE HYDRO-CARBON GAS' —all of
which is conveyed through the generator, not leaving
any substance to escape unconsumed.
Our Patent Burner can be fitted to any ordinary
fluid lamp or oil lamp, without the least possible danger
of explosion, as they are so constructed that to explode
one, of them would be utterly impossible. They are
considered, by thousands who are using them, to be as
safe, if not safer, than the oil lamp or candle, as there
are no sparks flying from tiie flame, and gives precisely
the same shaped light as you get from coal gas.
We wish it to be distinctly understood, that the gas
lamp will give the same amount of light ns seven first
quality stearine candles, ,
i'Olt ONLY ONE CENT. PER HOCK.
<}.<■
The subscribers having purchased the exclusive right
to sell the above Lamp in the Cou.ity ot Greene, would
respectfully inform their friends and the public that they
will have, in a few days, a large assortment ot Parlor,
Hall, Store, Office and Studying Lamps, at all prices.
Also, a large-nmnbeT of the PA TENT BURNER,
when they will be prepared to fit them to Old Lamps of
every description.

Potatoes Planted originally in the moun
tains of Peru, the potato possesses the qualities
which distinctly mark it as the destined food
in part at least—of a large portion of mankind.
It flourishes In nearly every climate except the
warmest and the very coldest; more sensitive to
frost than even the dahlia or geranium, it is to
be seen in perfection in every region of the globe
except the tropics or the Arctic circle. During
the brief months of summer it makes its way and
arrives at maturity in every part of the temper
ate zone. * The roots in their natural state are not
much larger than a strawberry: under the foster
ing hand of culture they swell to ten or some
times twenty times th size. It is far more
productive, when brought to perfection by culti
vation, of food fox the use ot man than any cereal;
it yields, on an equal space, three times as much
for his sustenance as the best wheaten crop.”

LIVES.
“ The tissue of the life to be
We weave with colors all our own,
And in the field of Destiny
We reap as we have sown.
Still shall the soul around it call
The shadows which it gathered here,
And painted on the eternal wall,
The Past shall re-appear.
Think ye the notes of holy song
On Milton’s tuneful ear have died ?
Think ye that Raphael’s angel throng
Has vanished from his side ?
Oh, no t we live our life again,
Or warmly touched, or coldly dim,
The pictures of the past remain ;
Man’s work shall follow him." — ■Whittier.
GREAT MEN IN SOUTHERN HISTOBY.
If we look at the character of those distin
guished persons of the nation who may be deemed
historical, there are names that certainly will live
na long in history and in marble in the South as
in the North. Yea, there is one Southern name
with which there is none to compare, either in
the North or in the world. We can speak of the
“incomparable Washington,” that the Northern
colonies were so ready to have as Commander-in
chief of the American force? in the war of the
Revolution, and who was unanimously elected the
first President of the United States of America.
Os the fifteen presidents of- the United States,
eight of them were Southern men. And where
is the Northern .man that will not agree with us,
that the names of Washington, Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe, Jackson, Tyler, Polk and Taylor,
are quite as illustrious as those of the Adamses,
Van Buren, Harrison, Fillmore, Pierce and Buch
anan? If the North has produced a Samuel
Adams, a Hamilton, a Story and a Webster, the
South has given birth to a Patrick Henry, a Pink
ney, a Marshall, a Calhoun and a Clay. If the
North has given to the country more distinguished
scholars and authors, the South has yielded more
than its share of the most distinguished generals,
statesmen and politicians. —Boston Post.
LOGIC.
Professor. —llow many parts are there in a salt
box?
Student. —Three: lotion, top and sides.
Professor. —llow many modes are there in salt
boxes ?
Student. —Four: the formal, the substantial, the
accidental and the topsy-turvy.
Professor.' —Define these several modes.
Student. —The formal respects the figure or shape
of the box—such as round, square, oblong, and
so forth; the substantial respects the work of the
joiner; and the accidental depends upon the string
by which the box is liung against the wall.
Professor- -Very well; and what are the con
sequences of the accidental mode?
Student. —ls the string should break the box
would fall, the salt be spilt, the salt-box broken
and the cook in a bitter passion ; and this is the
accidental mode with its consequences.
Professor. —How do you distinguish between the
top and bottom of a salt-box ?
Student.-^ The top of a box is tluft part which
is uppermost, arid the bottom - that part which is
lowest in all positions.
Professor. —You should rather say the lowest
part is tlie bottom and the uppermost part is the
top. llow is it, then, if the bottom should be the
uppermost ?
Student. —The top would then be the lowermost
—and so the bottom would become the top, and
the top would become the bottom; and this is
called the topsy-turvy mode, which is nearly allied
to the accidental, and frequently arises from it.
Professor. —Very good; but are not salt-boxes
sometimes double ?
Student. —Yes.
Professor. —Well, then, mention the several
combinations of salt-boxes with respect to their
having salt or not.
Student. —They are divided into single salt-boxes
having salt; single salt-boxes having no salt;
-double salt-boxes having salt; double salt-boxes
having no salt; and single double salt-boxes hav
ing salt and no salt.
Professor. —Hold! hold 1 you are going too far.
QUIET.
Ah, reader, this is what our hearts all want;
quiet, quiet! And this is what the world cannot
give us. Are not its gifts finite, and are not our
souls infinite ? Oh, poor, tired, human soul, buf
feting with the winds and waves of this stormy
life, be still! look upward! Ask not of Time
what is not in its treasury—what it never gave,
what it never can give to any man ; but ask it of
God, and in answer shall come the peace “He
giveth to his beloved.”
“If I was only understood, and appreciated,
and beloved, as I want to be loved, then I could
be perfectly happy,” is the cry of so many hearts.
No! no! human love cannot long make one
“ perfectly happy,” and if it could, how small,
and narrow, and pitiable must be the soul whom
the love of another frail human soul could fill:
God did not place us here as beings simply re
ceptive of enjoyment, but to create and endure ;
to find our own happiness in living for others.
Try this, reader, letting all the rest go, and see
if you do not, in the end, find your own happi
ness !
Ah, how mistaken, how blind we are, searching
for the soul’s “ hidden treasure” among the
things of earth, thirsting for the cooling draughts,
hungering after the golden fruits that gladden no
valleys, and grow in no gardens of this world, but
that fill the airs of Ileaven with their sweet
sounds and soft fragrance 1
Quiet, quiet! and how can a man or woman’s
heart know this, until all fear of -death be taken
away ? Whatsoever be your faith or creed, reader,
do we not join hands in this belief? Who, going
upon a journey; does not ponder the end of it ?
And is not life a Journey, and death its close for
all of us ? And until we can feel that- whether it
come slow or sudden, vVe can place our hands
quietly in its cold ones, and say, “ I am ready to
go,” we cannot be “quiet,” we have not learned
to live.
Oh, reader, for us all, the “ tents will soon be
struck, and the curtains withdrawn,” and the
“green waves” will be subsiding over our hearts;
and the petty cares, and trials, and cordanances
of this world will be supplanted by the grand in
terests of eternity; so let us hear the conclusion
of the whole matter: “Fear God and keep His
for this is the whole duty of

IN THE WORKSHOP.
“ You are not g oi ng to put in that piece of wood,
Richard ?” said one workman to another.
“ Yes I am. No one will be the wiser for it,”
was answered.
“But someone may be wronged by it.”
“No very serious wrong. The worst that can
happen, will be a rickety drawer.”
“ But, Richard, if y#u will take the trouble to
go up into the third story, and select a better
seasoned piece of wood, you will then be able to
furnish a drawer that will always run smoothly.”
“I am not going to take that trouble. Mrs.
Thompson would be very far from putting herself
out as much for me.”
“It don’t strike me that you have anything
to do with Mrs. Thompson’s disposition towards
you, in the case. It is a simple question of right
and wrong. You are at work on a bureau, for
which she has agreed to pay our employer a cer
tain price. The understanding is, of course, that
the wood and workmanship are to be of good
quality. Now, if you put in that piece of ‘wood,
you will wrong both Mrs. Thompson and our em
ployer. She will receive a defective, troublesome
article, and he will be injured in his business; for
Mrs. Thompson would hardly engage liim to make
another piece of furniture after finding herself
deceived in this. Your doing this thing, Rich
ard, is, according to my notion, a violation of
Christian charity.”
“ I don’t see that Christian charity has anything
to do in the matter. Mrs. Thompson crowded
down in the price, and I am not too well paid for
my part of the work. So, you see, I can’t afford
to be hunting about after seasoned wood. This
piece comes nicely to my hand, and I am going
to use it.”
“1 lxave nothing more to say,” replied the fel
low-workman, “except to repeat my judgment of
your act, and call it a violation of Christian char
ity. Our praying, singing and Bible-reading,
Richard, will not help us heavenward, unless we
are just between man and man. The Christian
profession is nothing without the Christian life.
Our religion, in order to change us radically, must
descend into all our commonest duties. It be
longs as much to the shop as to the family, and
as much to the family as to the sanctuary. If
you put in that piece of wood, knowing, as you
do, that it will render the bureau you are making
permanently defective, you will hurt your own
soul.”
“ Don’t trouble yourself about my soul,” was
the rather short reply. “ I will take good care of
that. If you hadn’t said so much about it—mag
nifying a molehill into a mountain—l might have
selected a better piece of wood. But this shall
go in now. I’ll risk the consequences.”
“ The risk may be greater than you imagine.
It generally is in all such cases,” was the grave re
ply.
And here the remonstrance closed. Richard
Wheeler, the journeyman cabinet-maker, worked
in the unseasoned piece of wood, and went on to
finish the bureau, which was sent home at the
time agreed upon, and the price paid. We do
not know whether the* suggestions of his fellow
workman remained with him or not, or whether
the unseasoned piece of wood troubled in any
wise his conscience.
Time passed on. The bureau, which had been
placed in the chamber of Mrs. Thompson, gave
good satisfaction for a time; but the unseasoned
piece of wood failed at length to do its proper
duty, and the drawer began halting in its work.
The disproportionate shrinkage of one side of the
drawer bent all the parts out of line, and so the
opening and closing thereof was always attended
with more or less difficulty.
Richard, the journeyman who made the bureau,
was in the wareroom one day when Mrs. Thomp
son came in, and with some warmth of manner,
said to his employer:
“I don’t think you have, dealt fairly by me in
that bureau, Mr. Cartwright.’’
“ Rather a grave charge, Mrs. Thompson,” re
plied the cabinet-maker. “ Why do you say so?”
“You haven’t made it of properly seasoned
wood—a thing for which I particularly stipula
ted,” said the lady.
“ I beg your pardon, MadamMr. Cartwright
spoke with visible indignation; “ the wood was
properly seasoned.”
“ I say that it was not.” Mrs. Thompson was
growing excited. “ Why, there’s one drawer, in
particular, so all awry from shrinkage in some
parts of it, that it requires more humoring to get
it in and out than I have the patience to give:
I’m tempted some days to have the whole thing
pitched into the street. It would be a disgrace
to the poorest cabinet-maker in the city.”
This was rather more than Mr. Cartwright could
bear, lie lost temper entirely, and gave Mrs.
Thompson so bluff a reply, that she went off in a
passion, threatening, as she did so, to warn all of
her friends against the cabinet-maker’s establish
ment.
Richard made a hasty retreat from the ware
room to the workshop. Ilis state of mind was
not one to be envied. Here was the evil fruit of
his wrong act; and what a monstrous production
from so small a seed! He had not only been
unjust to Mrs. Thompson, but had seriously in
jured his employer; for it was plain that custom
would be diverted from his establishment through
his improper act.
The ourneyman carried a sober heart home
with him at the close of that day.- Ilis fellow-
w r orkman, the one who had remonstrated with
him about putting into the bureau drawer an un
seasoned piece of wood, called for him after sup
per to go with him to religious meeting, but
Richard declined. For the first time he saw
clearly the want of agreement between his con
duct in this particular, and that which was de
manded by the divine law of justice from man to
man.
“ Come 1” urged his fellow-workman.
But Richard said, “ No, not to-night,” in such
a resolute way-, that he was left to himself. He
passed the evening in a very unhappy frame of
mind.
On the next Sunday he attended clwrcli as
usual. He was still troubled in his thoughts by
what had occurred. Singularly enough it seemed
to him that almost every sentence spoken by the
preacher had a more or less remote application
to himself. Every proposition was a mirror in
which lie could see his own distorted image. But
the closing portions of the sermon, when the
preacher gathered his generalities together, and
condensed them in specific applications, smote
him with humiliating convictions of wrong.
“No man can be a Christian,” said the minis
ter, “ who is not faithful in his common, daily,
life-pursuits. The judge must administer justice
from equity, and not from favor, or the lure of
bribes, The physician must regard thfhfeand
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

health of his patient above all other considera
tions. The merchant must deal justly, and the
mechanic execute his work in all things faithfully.
It will not answer to disregard these tilings. My
brother”—and the minister warmed in his man
ner, as he leaned over the pulpit, and looked, as
it seem to Richard, directly into the pew* where
he sat—“do not hope to reach Heaven by the
old way. You must walk in another and nar
rower road. Let us supposeyou are a workman.
Now, what is Christianity in the workshop? You
must take it wit-li you there, remember. You
cannot leave it behind you, go where you will;
for it is no loosely fitting garment, hut an ele
ment of life. Yes, you must take it with you
into the workshop, my brother. Not as the Bible
in your hand, nor as hymns to make the air mel
odious, nor as pious talk with fellow-workmen*
No, no; workshop Christianity consists in a re
ligious fidelity to your employer and his custom
ers. If you neglect or slight the work you are
paid to perform, you commit sin, you are irreli
gious, and your pious acts will go for nothing.”
What further the preacher said, Richard knew
not. Ho passed, in his application, to trader,
manufacturer and the various professions in life,
but his thought was hound by the artizan’s duty.
“ A sad thing happened this morning,” said
Richard’s wife, on his return from work one day
in the following week. “ Mrs. Thompson broke
a blood vessel, and now lies very ill. The doc
tors have hut little hope of her recovery.”
“How did that happen?” asked the mechanic,
with a sudden sense of uneasiness.
“She was trying to push in a drawer that didn’t
run smoothly, when it caught, and the jar, I be
lieve, caused the blood vessel to break. It was a
bureau drawer. What’s the matter, Richard?
You look pale ! Arc you sick ?”
His wife spoke these last sentences in a tone of
anxiety.
“ I don’t feel very well,” lie answered; “but
it’s nothing of consequence. Did you say that
she was thought to be in danger?”
“Yes, she lies very low.”
Richard turned his face away. When supper
was placed before him, he tried to eat, in order
that his wife might not see how deeply he was
troubled; but only a few mouthsful passed his
lips. Silent, and apart from the family, he sat
during the evening; and the night which followed
was, for the most part, sleepless.
On his way to work, the next morning, Richard
went past the dwelling of Mrs. Thompson. He
almost feared to look at the house, when he came
in sight, lest death-signs on the door should give
the fatal inteliigenco of her dissolution. He
breathed more freely when he saw that all re
mained as usual. So anxious was he that lie
stopped and made inquiry as to her condition.
“Something better.” How the words made
his heart leap.
“ Is she out of danger ?” he asked, almost trem
blingly.
“Oh no, but the doctor speaks encouragingly.”
Richard went on his way. At night, as he re
turned homeward, he called to inquire again.
“She is no worse.” ’this was all the comfort
he received, and on this he passed another rest
less night.
“If she dies, am not I her murderer?” This
was the thought that troubled him so deeply, and
made him so anxious about the life ot Mrs
Thompson. It was more than a week before
danger seemed passed, and then the unhappy
workman breathed more freely. Hov? the thin
white face and feeble steps of Mrs. Thompson re
buked him, a month afterwards, as he met her
one day in the street. lie could not rest after
that until he had obtained possession of the bu
reau drawer, and adjusted it so accurately to its
place that it might be moved in and out by the
hand of a child. In doing this lie took care to
remove the defective piece of wood.
“Why have you done this?” It was the sud
den question of Mrs. Thompson, as Richard, hav
ing made all right, was about leaving the house.
He was confused.
“ I did not send for you to do this.”
The dark eyes of Mrs. Thompson looked out
from their hollow sockets upon the almost st artled
workman.
“There was an unseasoned piece of wood in
that drawer,” said Richard, speaking with as
much calmness as he could assume. “ I wrongly
placed it there, and I alone am to blame. Mr.
Cartwright believed that every part of the work
was of seasoned wood, according to agreement.
He never meant to wrong you. He is an honest
man. Oh, ma’am! if you can forgive me, do so,
for since the accident to yourself 1 have been one
of the most wretched of men.”
“ I can do no less than forgive,” answered the
lady, gravely, “and I hope God will forgive also,
for you liavo been the agent of a great wrong.”
The journeyman cabinet-maker retired, with a
lesson in his heart that it was impossible ever to
forget. After that he tried to bring his religion
into the workshop, and he was successful, in a
good degree. It was then, and not till then, that
he began really moving heavenward. Before, ho
depended on states of feeling, but now on just
acts to his neighbor, grounded in a religious prin
ciple.—T. S. Arthur.
NAMES OF COLORS—A BRIGHT SALESMAN.
fW vocabulary of colors is always progressive,
though not always increasing. New names are
perpetually introduced, but their old ones are
perpetually dropped, so that the aggregate is
maintained nearly in equilibria. A novelty in this
line was lately introduced at a fashionable shop;
not, however, by the shopkeeper, but by his cus
tomer. A lady with great exquisiteness of man
ner, asked for dress-silks—” not a gray, nor a
lead-color, but a subdued mouse!” ‘ The smart
young man behind the counter expressed his re
gret that “ that shade of color had not yet been
introduced in the French studios; but he in
formed the lady that he could show her the next
best thing, which was enraged rat l ” The lady, not
taking, or not relishing, the wit of the unlucky
clerk, immediately reported him to his employer
as “an impertinent puppy,” whereupon the em
ployer, as in policy bound, summarily notified
the youth that he had no further ocoasion for his
serviees. Probably, the misfortune of the young
man will not be permanent, for the subdued brass
of his answer to the lady will make its way in
these fast times, and he will hardly bo
Os employment. This joke would b rather a
one if it were “ made up,” but bemg htera y
it is worth preserving.
