Why is it that Stokes can sell cheaper than
any other living man west Of the atlantic
Ocean,? 1t is because he can tell larger
yarns and n.ore Of them-and because he
has more little cute tricks, such as getting a
dear article from another store, and keep
ing it as a sample to show his customers
and contrast hes cheap goods with ; and be-
sides, he has many other little tcinnang
ways. So come one, come all, and we will
have you a suit s'done up brown"in double
quick time.
We like to see all sorts Of Sh1n,s played
of OIL the people, and we like to see them
played by the Doctors about as well as by
any one else. We like to see a half dozen
or more Of them crowd into a very healthy
village, and hear them quarrel, and see them
manever for practice.
We like to meet one Of them in the streets
on a sultry morning, to see him with his
grave business face OH, saddle bags on arm,
busting and hurrying along as If he had
fifty calls TO make in half an hour. On the
afternoon Of the same day, we like to see
him coming in from the country on horse
back q, half speed. Well now, how many
patients do you suppose he has; why he has
just three, and two Of them don't need, him,
and the other would get we'll sooner without
him. When he has got a patient just about
comfortably sick, End any one makes ihqui.
ries about him, we like to hear linn say: y
he's a desperate case-such a violent at
tack, and 20 constitution-and then such a
state Of congestion, aud inflammation, and ir-
ritation, &C., | never saw. Well but Doctor
you don't think him dangerous, says the en-
quircr. A very doubtful case, but with
care and attention l may save him--but if
he ever gets well it will be oin,0sf q miracle.
DO you understand him? If you don't we
do. e
When a physician is consulted about an
old chronic case, which he well knows all
the healing art in c~hristendom could do no
good, we don't like to hear him come out
candidly andsay so, but We like to see him
take the case, aud make the most he can Of
it. That is, make as many dollars and cents
ont Of it as possible.
! We like to see your men Of the cone idea,"
who, start them on any train OF converse
ton YOU may choose, will wiring in that ia
vOri'o ''idea" in less than FIVE minutes
And Of all Of this interesting class, We like
your tone ideaed' preachers the best. We
care not what that cherished noiign of his
may be, il it is ever SO simple a thing as
Wuier, provided lie is sure always to pro-
cure it in every sermon. We lust like to
see him get hold cf a hight tough, dry, hard
text, and notice how he will twist it, and
turn it, and thuDpit, and wiring t-but new
or mind he'll bring u0Ler, yea! "much wa
ter" out Of it before i.c gives it up.
We Ike 10 see conscientious ministers
break the eight commandment, by trying to
steal each others sheep. Wonder if they
don't get goats sometimes?
We ike 70 see parents raise their boys
much il the same way they, DO their other

not shout them.
We like 10 see a young man trying to CO.

ly sacked at every attempt. He's q noble

When a young man finds his rival rising
above him, we like to see him pull him
down by slandering him; much easier to lev
ell down than to level up.
When q young gentleman has paid some
attention to a young lady, but has become
rather remiss, we like TO see her throw her
self in Justsuch places, and under Just such
circumstances, (though always accidental
