The Yankee In Main street.

q calculate couldn't drive a trade with YOU
to-day said a true specimen of the Yankee ped
lar, as he stood ct the door of a merchant in
Main street.
# Icalculatc you calculate about right for YOU
cannot was the sneering reply.
Wal guess you needn't get huffy about it:
Now here's dozen real genuine razor strops.

Il tell you, | don't want any Of your trash
SO you had better be going
WAL now, declare I'll bet you five dol.
lars if you make me an offer for them are strops
we'll have trade yet
Done! replied the merchant, placing the
money in the hands of bystander.-The Yam
kee deposited the like sum--when the MGR
chant offered him a Picayune for the strops.
They're yourn said the Yankee, as he quiz
| ety fobb'l the stakes But he added, with
great apparent honesty, Il calculate jokes a
joke and if you doat want them strops I'll trade
back
The merchants eountenancc frightened.
you are not so bad chap, after all! here arc
your strops, give me the money
There it is,' said the Yankee, as he received
the strops and passed over the Pcayune. a
trades trade--and now your wide awake in
earnest, guess the next time you trade with
that are pic you'll do a little better than to
buy razor strops.'
And away walked the pedlar with his stropi
and wager, amid the shouts Of the laughing
crowd.-Si Louis AriGi.

Care OF Fruit Trees.

This month is esteemed by many as favor
able for pruning as any of the pruning months
The spring and winter are regarded as the least
favorable
1t should be generally understood that good
large fair fruit cannot be had without the most
dligcnt cultivation. The ground should be
carefully stirred around every fruit tree. and a.
bout an egth part Of a common bucket Of rood
Compos; placed about each large tree this fall,
and in view of the great number of facts dis

attention TO his orchard, as the cultivation of
his cora or any other crop on the farm-as by
SO doing. he will derive greater profit from
his labor.
We generally prunc our trees tho las, Of

orders, when a mnsket ball from the enemy
passed through his hat, and tore up handker-
chief which was slowed in the top. Without
minding it at all, or changing his countenance
to the least, Crawford cody picked up the shat
tered handkerchief, and replaced it on his head,
remarking with smile, I'VE will save the pie

carry his orders
1t is well known that al Toulon, at the out
set Of Napoleon's military career, he had occa'

write and drummer came forward out Of
the ranks. and executed the writing. While
it was not yet dry, cannon ball from the enc

1T will save the necessity Of sand, General,
observed the drummer, cody.
Bouaparte, was so struck with the bravery o
the man, that he singled him out from the ranks
and promoted him step by step toa feld'marsh
