Naming a Twins.
A friend of Butterwicks, who staid
at hia house a short time after the
twins vvyro born, overheard the fol
lowing conversation between the fond
parents one night after all hands had
retired. He was lu the adjoining
room.
Mrs. B. What shall we call the
twins, Henry dear?
Mr. B. Oldunno ; almost any good
names. How would Mosea and Aaron
do, or Cjtlp and Abel ?
Mas. B. You ought to be ashamed
of you.raelf to want to name one of
your own ohlldren after a murderer!,
you might have hunted the whole
Bible through without fludiug any
thing worse !
B. O well, oall them Shadrach,
Meshno and Abednego, then.
Mrs. B. You know very well that
there are ouly two twins, and that
they can't have three names divided
equajly between them. I hate scrip
ture names anyhow. I want to call
them after some distinguished mau.
B. Well, name one of them Butler
and the other Schurz.
Mrs. B. I'd rather die on the spot
than have a child of mine named af
ter an undergarment.
B. How'll Bismarck and GutakoiF
suit you?
-Mrs. B. Butterwiok, you know I
can't abide those German names.
You would lufliot a curse on your In
nooent boy If you would send him
through the world with such a name
as Gutobakoff Butterwiok you know
very well you would. I prefer an
American name one that belongs to
this country.
B. Very well, then call one of 'em
Spotted Tall, and the other Hole-In-The-Day.
Those are Indigenous to
this continent.
Mrs. B. Mr. Butterwiok, if you are
going to turn the subject into ridicule
I will get up and dress myself and go
down stairs. You shan't insult me to
my face anyhow. You know well
enough that I meant some white
Amerloan names.
B. How would Smith and Jones
answer?
Mrs. U. I'd rather bury both of
them in one grave. Why don't you
suggest some distinguished American
name ?
B. O, all right, there's Benedlot
Arnold, aud Martin Van Buren.
Mrs. B. They shall never have
those names with my consent.
B. How about Adams ?
Mrs. B. That's only one name and
there are two babies.
B. Well, call one "A" and the
other "Dams."
Mrs. B. Mr. Butterwiok, If you
use language like that again, I'll go
borne to my mother's this very night.
B. Well, theu, if you must have
the names of celebrated Americans,
call one "Tilly Slowboy " and the oth
er Toodles."
Mrs. B. Were they prominent
men? I don't remember of having
heard about them before.
B. Why, my dear, they both sign
ed the Declaration of Independence,
and Slowboy was Vice President un
der Washington. If you want straight
out Revolutionary patriots, those are
your men.
Mrs. B. What did Mr. Toodles do?
B. Louisa, I am surprised at your
ignorance! Don't you know that he
commanded the army at Valley
Forge?
Mrs. B. I don't think much of
their names, anyhow ; name over
aome others.
B.-Lemme see. There's Mephls
topheles, and
Mrs. B. What did yeu aay he
did?
B. Why he commanded the frigate
Constitution in the war of 1812, and
he was killed while nailing the Amer
ican flag to the mast.
Mrs. B. And you want to name
one of your ohlldren after him ?
B. Certainly. Why not? !Noble
old patriot! did he not die in defense
of- Why, Louisa, what are you
going to do?
Mrs. B. Why, I'm going to quit
this house, and take the twins with
me and stay away forever. I know
just as well as you do that Mephisto-
pheles is another name for the devil.
I've seen him at the opera. It's per
fectly infamous for you to suggest
euoh a name for your own flesh and
blood. I don't believe in your Slow
boys or your Toodles, either. I'm
certain that you've been telling scan
dalous stories, and now I'm going to
Jeave,
Then Butterwiok was heard to ubo
a persuasive tone with Mrs. B., and
finally she made it up with him.
The twins were eventually baptised
by the names of John and Henry.

A Ludicrous Mistake,
Some ludicrous mistakes are nar
rated about the oocupanta of the suites
of rooms at theNatIonal,Hotel, Wash
ington, whioh opened upon the little
balls, uniform in appearance, connect
ed, by long corridors, and which were
furnished alike. One night Senator
Mangum, of North Carolina then Pres
ident proltem of the Senate, a digni
fied gentleman of the old sohool, had
returned from a party, when Governor j
TJpham aSenatorfrom Vermont came
in without any ceremony, and took a
seat. The two chatted uway on poli
tics, etc., until the clock struck one.
Really, Governor Upham' said Man
gum, 'I am alwuys pleased to see you
butT believe it is getting very late,'
'I have thought so for some time,' re
plied Upham, but made uo movement.
The half hour sounded, and Mangum
remarked: 'I thought Governor Uph
am, that you had decided to go to bed,
sir?' 'So I had, Mr. President,' an
swered the Vermonter, yet he did not
budge. Mangum stared at him in
amuzement, and at last said : 'But
why don't you go to your room? It
will soon be two o'clock.' 'My room
Mr. President, why this is my room,
and I have been wailing for you to go
away for two hours past.' Mangum
sprang to his feet looked into the sdeep-ing-room
adjacent, and found that he
was in Upham's room iustead of his
own.
A Sharp Woman.
Not long ago a young mau and his
newly-made wife went to Chicago to
paBS the first days of their honeymoon
lu viewing the sights of the city. For
a time nothing but pleasure came to
them, but in an evil hour the husband
fell in with one of the many confi
dence men who infest the city, and
by him was introduced to a select
company of the swindlers. Theaharp
ers played their usual game, and one
evening the husband found himself
without money. His currency being
gone to All the pockets of the swin
dlers, there was nothing left but to
tell his wife aud make the best of it.
The wife suggested an application to
the police, but the husband shrunk
from making his foolishness public.
Before he had lost his money the hus
band had purchased tickets for one of
the theaters, and though hardly feel
ing in the mood for amusement, the
couple decided to use them. They
were hardly seated when the husband
whispered to his wife, 'There's the
mau who robbed me,' and withoutat
tractlng any attention, pointed the
sharper out to her. With a woman's
quickness she at once decided on a
plan of procedure. She told her hus
band to leave her aud take a seat In a
remote part of the house. There was
something in her manner that com
pelled obedience, and he followed her
directions. The confidence man In
surveying the house noticed the lady
sitting alone, and healBO noticed that
she was fair to look upon. His fre
quent glances at her were returned,
and emboldened by her seeming ac
quiescence he took the seat beside
her. Thpy engaged in conversation,
and when the performance was con
cluded lie offered to escort her to her
hotel. She accepted, and when they
had arrived, in respouse to a hint
from him, she invited him to her
room. Once there he proposed a bottle
of wine, and when it was brought dis
played a generous roll of greenbacks
in paying for It. The lady made some
excuse and loft the room. In the-hall
she met her wondering husband to
whom she made known thesituation.
She then returned and found the
wine opened. Just as they were rais
ing the glasses to their lips, the hus
band burst in. Without a word of
parley he seized the confidence man,
and after oboking him till he was past
resistance, took the money from his
pocket, counted out the amount he
had gained by the robbery In the af
ternoon, and then kicked him out of
the room. The sharper concluding
that discretion was the only means of
safety, hastily quit the house without
making any trouble. The wife, of
course, fainted after it was all over.
'A Lover' writes us: 'Suppose I Bee
a young lady home from ohurch, aud
the night is dark and rainy, and up
on arriving at her house she darts
through the door without saying as
much as 'good night,' leaving me
standing outside what would you ad
vise me to do in suoh a case?' You
had better start for home immediate
ly. Under no circumstances -should
you staud on the steps of the young
lady's ho'use all night. It would be
preferable to oruwl into the nearest
friendly store box, and wait for day
light to appear or the rain to disap
pear. Norristown Herald.
The British Quarterly Ecvieiu, in
an article on the 'Genius of Islam,'
after expressing the opinion that Is
lam has a keen tenacity of life and
will die hard, says: 'But none the
less do all the omens point dearly to
Its dissolution. Everywhere it is
mixed up with a decaying civiliza
tion in which it is itself the strongest
principle of decay ; and It is imbedded
iu forms of society which are beiug
rapidly left behind as the wreoks of
the past by the progress of the civil
ized world.' This is not flattering to
Turkey.
This Is the brief tale the Hazleton, I
Pa., Sentinel tells :
A tramp stopped at the house of
Philip Harris, in Coleraine, and was
given something to eat. Noticing
that John Harris, aged eighteen, was
blind in one eye, he told him to cut a
sour apple in two and rub the cut edg
es on the eye. The young man did
as he was told and regained bis sight.
He had not been able to see out of the
eye for seven years.

A newspaper correspondent writes
from Texas: 'Apples cannot be grown
here, and while cabbage and potatoes
grow luxuriantly, they will rot with

THE
OLDEST PAPER
AND

THE ADVERTISER IS IN ITS
TWENTY-FIRST YEAE.
Its history Is co-equal aud co-extensive with that of

Free to do right, free to approve honesty or denounce corruption, because
no political or religious ring or clique owns any part or parcel in it, aud
it owes indorsement to no man except to him who has acquired the right
to be indorsed by discharging his duties well and honestly as a private citi
zen or a public official.
THE ADVERTISER believes in Free Thought, Free Schools, Free
Politics, and the broadest individual liberty, consistent with the rights of
others; and that every individual, South, North, East and West, should be
protected in the enjoyment of those rights by tho General Govornment in
obeyauce to the guarantees of the National Constitution.
AS A. LOCAL PAPEB,
The publishers of THE ADVERTISER labor assiduously, and with unre
mitting industry, to make it a success. Without prejudice or partiality for
or against any particular localities, they desire the welfare of all ; and any
thing a newspaper can do for the advancement of the general prosperity,
THE ADVERTISER is not only willing, but anxious to do. Believing in
TOWN AND COUNTKT,
and that the prosperity of the one depends more or leas upon the other, we
can consistently work for the prosperity of all.
As an evidence that we labor to give our readers an honest paper, and
the most and greatest variety of reading matter possible, we invite attention
to the columns of our paper, and comparison as to quantity and quality, with
any other weekly in the State not made up from the matter of a daily. We
are determined to make THE ADVERTISER a paper that the people will
seek for, and receive full value for the money invested in it.
