Offer No. 1. — Satuautha at Saratoga.

This is indeed a feast of fun. by the only peer of Mark Twain's 

 humor— JosiAH Allen's Wife (Marietta Holley.) 



Read this Extract from the Book : 



And right here, let me insert this one word of wisdom for tlie special com- 

 fort of my sect, and yet it is one tiiat may well be laid to heart by the more op- 

 posite one. If your panlner petsre-stless and onensy and raiddlin' cross, as pard- 

 ners will be anon or even oftener-start them off on a tower. A tower will in 9 

 cases out of 10 lift 'em out of their oneasiness, their restlessness and their 

 crossness. 



Why I have known a short tower to Slab City or Loon'own act like a charm 

 on my pardner, when crossness wuz in his mean and snappishness wuz present 

 with him. I liave known him to set off with the mean of a lion and come back 

 with the liniment of a Iamb. 



And jest tile prospect of a tower ahead is a preat help to a woman in rulin' 

 and keepin' a pardner straight. Somehow jest the thought of a tower sort of 

 lifts him up in mind, anu happifys him. and makes him easier to quell, and pard- 

 ners must be quelled at times, else there would be no liyin' with 'em. 



She takes off Follies, Flirtations, L.ow-Necked Dressing, Dltdes. 

 Pug Dogs, tobogganing, etc.
