Presently a man with a dirty collar stepped in, to purchase clean one "Only one collar, sir?" "One collar why that's enough aint it. to mt on at one time ?'' !" Hadn't you better take half dozen?" "Oh Lord sir, what should do with half a do- zen shlrtcollars, when have but one shirt in the word?"

 "Yes, but can't afford em all"
 It's very cheap-only twenty-five dollars" "Wont you take twenty?"
 "Why really we cant afford t-but since you've been so good customer to-day, why-you may take it at your price," "Whew! this makes my pocket book as lank as a Methodist preacher" "Now let us sell you the waistcoat and panta- loons."
 "The devils in the man Cant you let body alone without making lem buy all you've got"
 "You really ought to have the vest and pantaloons to make out your suit It's of no interest to me, you know-not the least. But you're the very man like to sell clothes to-you some how other become them so we'll I'll put you the vest and pantaloons very cheap"
 "Well, hang t, seein it is you, if yoa'll let me have lem at half price, I'll take 'em." l " Half price An well, never inind-we've been giving you all the other th3gs, and it's too late to stand for price now" "Thank you, sir"
 "Any thing else to-dny?"
 "Confound your long-tongued gizzard if you ax me to buy another thing, I'll knock you down Good bye."
 Good bye sir,-call again whenever you come this way"
 Thus the poor fellow; who at first intended to purchase only single collar, was induced to take a whole suit together with sundry changes of shirts, collars and dickes-and all above their real value, though apparently at his own price, Such are few of the every day exhibitions of the ART SELLING.
