lperlite; but Mr.. Skinkle sed, afterwards, tha
he thought she was payin' her respects to my

We'll, then, I'll introduce him to you;' and
with that Mrs. Broker riz up very slow from
her seat and minced across the parlor, and
then cum back agin, followed by thing with
enugh hair on his upper lip and head togeth-
err to make shuck mattress. But what 'ston-
ished me more than ennything was, the jew

two or thee times, and fourished his silk hand
kercheif around at great rate. Mr.. Hector
was perlite to me; he was vewy pawtial to

'Oh! Mr. Goldsmith, ses she, where have
you been?' Come, we want you over yon-

How exceedingly tasty Mr.. Goldsmith does
Dress says Mrs Broker.
Mrs. Scruggins,' ses Mr. Skrinkle to me in
a very excited whisper, Mrs, Scruggins,' do
you see that feminine with the changing silk
gown, and all that fine lace round her neck +?
-wellit wasn't more'n month ago since her
husband made 'signment, and now jist look
how she dresses ~
tMr. Skrinkle,' ses /, what is signment?
why, you see,' ses Mr. Skrinkle, farter a
marchant or tradesman has been in Dizziness
long time, arter he's got in debt to every
body, and arter he 'cumulated a good deal of
property with t'other peoples money, why,
then he finds out all at wunst, that he's in a
failing kondshun, and that it is impossible for
him to pay his debts; SO he turns over all his
property to sum friend to keep for him, and
then makes 'signment of all his bad debts
and old ferniture over to their creditors for
their satisfaction
And then,' said I, 4 stpose he's tried afore
the criminus court, and sent to the peniten-
tiary?'
'Oh, no. ses Mr.. Skinkle; quite the contrary
for you'll find when a man is aswindler on
a large scale-wheA by tstensive opperation
he pockets his thousands-peopie look up to
him, and say he's cute opporator in funds;
but just let poor man, with wife and house
full of children, do ennytbing that has the least
'pearance of wrong aud how horrifed every
body is, and how willin' they are to give kick
to help him on his road down HILL
While Mr. Skinkle was talkin,' 4 notused
that every body was lookin' at a young femi-
nine, who Just cum in the room, and heard
Mrs. Broker whisper to a Mrs Commission,
who was sittin along side of her, that it was
outrajus thing-she never heard of the like
afore. Mr.. Hector Goldsmith was over on
t'other side of the house, and lot of young
men and feminines was round him, and they
was whisperin' very fast together and every
wunst in a while they'd look at the young
'ooman who Just cum in like they was goin' to
eat her. nidn't notice emmy thing very par
ticklar in the 'pearance of the young feminine,
