A CONNECTICUT PEpLAR.

There IS not q more curious specimen of ofhumannatureinexistence than the ge- nuine Connecticut pedlar. lie is a cheat to be sure--but he cheats with so much apparent honesty, that you never know it until he is beyond hail; and even then you hardly know whether to be angry or to laugh outright at your own gulli- biiity. You mentally resolve never again to have dealings with gentlemen of his description; and yet, ten chances to one, but that the very next travelling merchant from the 6 land of steady hab- it's" will work his way into your good eraees7 and leave yess yen mere essentially ttiiiiIiijy oyerreached, than even his brother in the trade had done before him.
 The genuine pedlar has variety of characters in which he disguises himself, like the maskers at theatre. He
 changes oftener than the fabled Chame-
 leon, at least to outward appearance. while at heart he is always the same
 cool, calculating, and crafty. He in-. Iyariably adapts himself to the character
 of those around him; and he is seldom at d loss to ascertain the nature of this character. In physiognomy, he is per feet adept-an improvement upon La- water himself. In acuteness and pene- tfation he has no equal. If he finds bimself among religious customers, he is l the very personifcation of piety, Like his great prototype, the Arch Deceiver, himself, he can ssquote Scripture to his lpurpose;o and while employed in mur-
 derlng some pious and goodly hymn in
 desperate attempts at psalmody, be
