DRUMMING.

In New York the wholesale stores EN-
plOy clerks whose business it is to 90 tt
the hotels, and make acquaintance will
western merchants, in order to induce then
to buy goods of the firm which employ
them. These clerksare called "drummers.
The Sunday Atlas tells a good story of E
waggish merchant who played the following
trick on one of his neighbors, notorious
for doing business in this way. He had
been visited by green young fellow anx-
lous to obtain situation.
Il don't want any body Just now, my
young friend" he said at first.
" Why, | guess, with all these ere things
and heaps of goods, you must find some
thing for a chap like me to dew, now"
8 | tell you, don't want any one"
:" Why, there's nothing can't turn my
hand tew."
" Well, tell me what you can do" said
the importer little annoyed at the perse-
verance of his visitor
"Wa'al, i'll the country | can hoe, and
plough, cut wood, and shake apple trees,
milk the cows, and butcher the hogs, thrash
wheat, and tend cider mill, and then in the
way of music, can drum like thunder"
"Oh you can drum; | know of firm
that wants a drun1ner."
Then I'm the chap; I've practsed it
for our trainers since | was ten years old"
Have You got your drum here in the
city - inquired he.
Yes, downaboard the slupe, the Nancy,

The importer wrote on piece of paper
the name OF dry goods firm situated in
Pearl street-well known for their employ
mcnt of drummers.
There" said he, "get your drum and
90 to that place; the owners are famous for
drumming up customers; you will suit them
to hair. Don't fail, as soon as you get
in TO strike up tune and 90 it hard"
The countryman, as directed, equipped
himself with his drum, and as soon as he
found the store according to the paper, in
he went, playing = Yankee Doodle" in a
way to stun deaf man, almost.
What do you mean" said one of the
firm, as soon as he was able to silence that
dreadful drum.
Why, Mr. tItat ->-~a nm there
said YOU wanted to employ a drummer.

Fishes Tanned bq a Chad.-In a quart

FtSheS dned 0y GChnd.-In quarter
of the town of bingham known as Rocky
nook there is pond. where little girl not
six years old who resides near the bank,
has tanned the fishes to a remarkable de-
gree. She began by throwing crumbs into
the water. Gradually the fishes learnt to
distinguish her footsteps and darted TO the
edge whenever she approached; and now
they will actually feed out of her hand and
allow her to touch their scaly sides. A
venerable turtle is among her regular PEN
sioners. The control of Van Amburg over
his wild beasts is not more surprising than
that which this little girl has attained over
her funny playmates. Visitors have been
attracted from a distance of several miles
to witness the spectacle she exhibits. The
fishes will have nothing to do with any
one but their tried friend. They will trust
no one else, let him come with provender
ever so tempting. Even fishes are not so
cold-blooded but they will recognize the
law of kindness and yield to It's all embra-
cling power.--[ Boston Times.
