THRILLmi ADVEXTIRE.
One of our oldest merchants, who is so
soon to pass away, and who formerly
carried on business in Beaver street, re
sidin';; —as it wns the custom in old times
—over his store, tells the following thrill
ing narrative, which he occasionally re
lates with wonderful effect: “A party had
been collected at his house to give eclat tj
one of those little family festivals which
brighten the dark trace of life, and cheer
the human heart in every dime. It was
his daughters wedding day; erowdsof her
young acquaintances circled around her,
and as the father gazed proudly on the
face of the young bride, he wished as
bright a prospect might open for his other
children who were gamboling merrily
among a crowd. Passing through the
passage connecting the lower rooms he
met the servant maid, an ignorant country
wench, who was carry ing a lighted tallow
candle in her hand without a candlestick.
He blamed her for this dirty conduct, and
went into the kitchen to make some ar
rangeuienls with his wife about the supper
table ; the girl shortly returned with her
arms full of ale bottles, but without the
candle. The merchant immediately re
collected that several barrels of gunpowder
had been placed in his cellar duringthe day
and that his loreman had opened one of
the barrels to select a sample lor a cus
tomer. “Where is your candle?" he in
quired in the utmost agitation. “1 couldn't
bring it up with me, for my hands were
i n i ’ i ^ivn i uh. k i »» m-i v. j ''U » v w » s
it ?•’ “Well, I M no candlestick, so I stuck
it in to some black sand that's therein one
of the tubs.'’ The merchant dashed down
the cellar steps; the passage was long and
dark, and, as he groped his way on, his
knees threatened to give way under him;
his breath was choked, and his flesh seemed
suddenly to become dry and parched, as
it he already felt the suffocating blast ot
death. At the extremity of the passage,
in the front cellar, under the very room
where his children and friends we re re fil
ing in felicity, he discerned the open pow
der barrel, full almost to the top, the
candle stuck lightly in the loose grains,
with a long, red snuff of burnt-out wick
topping the small and gloomy flame. This
sight seemed to wither all his powers, and
! tile merry laugh of the young iters above
! struck upon his heart like the knell of death,
lie stood for some moments, gazing upon
i the light, unable to advance. The tiddler
■ commenced a lively jig, and tiie feet of
dancers responded with increased vivacity;
j the floor shook with their exertions, and
; the loose bottles in the cellar jingled with
the motion, fie fancied the candle moved
—was falling ! With desperate energy he
dashed forward ; but how was he to re
move it ? The slightest touch would cause
the small live coal of wick to fall into the
loose powder. With unequaled presence
of mind he placed a hand each side of the
candle, w ith the open palms upward, and
the distended fingers pointed toward the
[ object of his care, which, as his hands
; gradually met, was secured in the clasping
or locking of his fingers, and safely re
moved from the head of the barrel. When
i he reached the head of the ,-tairs the excite
ment was over; he smiled at the danger
: he had conquered : but the reaction was too
powerful, and he fell into fits of most violent
and dreadful lau&hter. He was conveyed
senseless to bed, and many weeks elapsed
ere his nerves recovered sufficient tone to
allow him to resume his habits of every
day life.—X. T. Commercial Advertiser.
GRAVY POMADE.
A good religions college at Lansing,
Michigan, was blessed with a wide circle
of female friends among the denomina
tion which it represented. One year tho
ladies in a thriving town where the college
was very popular thought it would be a
j kind act to send the Senior class a box of
1 good things for Thanksgiving. They pre
pared a lot of mince and pumpkin pies,
| frosted cake, cold roast turkeys, and other
dainties; and in order that the turkeys
might go off smoothly, they put in the
. box a bottle of rich, savory gravy. It
was not labeled, and the bottle containing
it was very much like those in which a
I favorite kind of hair oil is exposed for sale
on the tempting shelves of fancy goods
stores.
When the box was opened at the college
and the joyful feast disclosed to view, the
Senior class were highly delighted. That
Thanksgiving.dinner was the happiest for
many a year, with one little exception, and
this was more comical than melancholy.
Three or four of the Seniors, with hand
| some curling hair, thong it, of course,
I these benevolent ladies had them in view
in sending a present of hair oil; and they
j slyly carried off the bottle, and in their
j own rooms made a faithful application of
gravy to their heads! The stickiness of
the supposed hair oil soon aroused wonder;
| but it was some time before the Seniors
i knew that they had made a wrong use of
a table luxury. The joke soon spread
through the college, and at last reached
the ears of the donors of the box. A
Christmas, therefore, the same generous
hearted ladies made ready another box o4
good things, and forwarded it to the sumo
college.
Taking a hint from the previous blunder,
and believing that perhaps it was necessary
for the Seniors that their heads should be
fashionably anointed, these kind ladies put
in the second box a bottle of real hair oil.
, The bottle, like its predecessor containing
■ gravy, bore no label, and some of the un
lucky Seniors determined to make no mis
take this time, poured the contents liberally
over their plates at dinner, without stop
ping to taste or smell. The odor of ber
gamot or cinnamon did not once unde
ceive them. They imagined the hair oil
to be, perhaps, an elegant new French
dressing for cold meats, and swallowed
their food with a few qualms, but with the
hearty appetites of youth.
