of DIR. Leidy's Patent Vegetable Worm Tea,

Winter.

Mary Hewitt has beautifully described III,
contrast between the rich and the poor, al lhi
season of the year
I" In rich mems halls, the fire is piled,
And furry robes keep out the weather
In poor mems huts, the fire is low,
Thro' broken panes the keen winds blow,
And old and young are cold together.
Oh, poverty is disconsolale!
ITS pains are many, lis foes are strong;
Fhe rich man, in his jovial cheer,
Wishes twas winter all The year;
The poor man, mid his wants profound,
With all his lille children round,
Prays God that winter be no, long

A Practical Joke.

1t is known to The country merchants who
visit the city to buy goods. that our principal
Hotels are infested with what are termed drum
mers or borerS, clerks and under-parners of
wholesale stores, who dog The steps Of buyers
with untiring assiduiiy, in hopes Of obtaining
them as customers, or winning them from their
usual places of purchase. Among the quiet
Plodding merchants of Market street, there is
an exceedingly shrewd and witty Yankee, a
shoe merchant, who, finding the boring system
was taking away his old customers, resolved
TO Try his hand.-Accordingly on Saturday
last, about 2 O'Clock, the usual hour of attack,
he entered Bridges Merchants Hotel, bearing
an enormous auger, strung full Of shoes and
mounting chair, he addressed the crowded
saloon
Gentlemen, | hale all subterfuge and decep-
lion, and frankly announce .ha, have come

vering tormeniors, if you will make bill with

roar Of laughter and cheers followed this
announcement, and while the abashcd borers

then running off, while another genius aecested
him, THAT fellow has got your pocket-book

The gentleman felt for his pocket book, which
he found safe, and saw at once that The affair
was got up with intent TO sw4nde him, but he
thought he would look further into il, and fol-
lowed. His impromptn friend called loudly 10
the fugitive TO stop. The latter held up The
pocket-book, which il was pretended he had
found, exposing thick roll OF what appeared 10
