Too MANY Doors.

A rather amusing incident occurred a few
days since at one of our stores on the Av-
enue.
II beinga warm day, the entire front Of
the store was open. One of the clerks hap :
pened to be standing between the pillars, as
a real specimen of a Yarmouth Yankee ap-
preaching him, said: "How dye dew Cur
nell" "Dew yew deale in hides, skins, furs
and SIGH like things, or don't ye?" "No |"
said the young man, 1--WE do not you can
sell them at the next door," (referring to a
neighbor leather dealer.) Whereupon our
friend started for the dealer in peltries |; but
instead Of going to the adjoining store, he
popped into the one he had just left through
another Of its openings, and meeting the
same clerk, (who had by that time walked
to the center Of the store, (salutedhim with

The Ties of Kindred.

Are you brother? In what manner do
you treat this relation? Have the voices
that were once pleasant to you lost their
tone? Have the cold and pitiless storms of
the world frozen the current Of your kindred
feelings within you; or have they lost their
power, and wasted in selfish cares, and hol-
low, heartless formalities?
o! cherish, at home, or abroad,
the dear ties of kindred, and amid all the tur-
mol, and all the change of earthly pilgrim
age, never, never, forget the obligations
which they entail upon you. Summon back
the bright visions Of boyhood. Call up the
stream, the hillside, and the woodland--call
him up whose face so often reflected the Joy
business of your own, and whose hand at
night warmly claspea in yours--call up her
whose voice, like every sisters voice. was
around your sunny path like music-call up
those who with you

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Yankee Bell Ringer.

A tall awkward looking chap, just from
the Green Mountains of Vermont, came on
board of one Of the splendid North River
boats at Albany. His curiosity was greatly
excited at once, and he commenced 'peeking,,
as he called il, into every nook and corner Of
the boat The captains office, the engine
room, the water-lcoset, the BARRIERS. shop, all
underwent hisinspection; and then he went
on deck and started in amazement at the le-
yer beam, the chimneys, and the various FIX
ins,' till at last he caught sight of the bell =
This was the crowning wonder, and he view
ed it from every position, walked around it,
got down on his knees and looked up into it,
exclaimed, wall rally, this beats the bell in
our meetin' house, darned sight BY this
time the attention Of the captain and several
of the passengerswas attracted to the genius.
How much would you ask to let feller ring
this bellY You may ring it for dollar, sir,
said the captain. wall, it's a bargain all
fair and agreedto, and no backing eout., Its
a bargain, sir, said the captain. Our hero
went deliberately and bro't seat and took
hold of the bell rope, and having arranged
Everything to- his satisfaction, commenced
ringing slowly at first, and gradually faster
and faster, till every body on board thought
the boat was on fire, and rushed ON deck
screaming with alarm. There stood the
captain, and there sat sVairmounter,' ringing
away, FIST slow and then fast, and then two
or three taps at time. The passengers be-
gan to expostulate; the captain said it was a
bargain. s'aS-
But the passengers became urgent that the
eternal clangor should be stopped. All the
lwhile there sat our hero undisturbed, ring
ling away more ways than q cockney chime
lringer dreampt Of. AT last the captain
began to think it time to stop the simple
ton; but his answer was, "a fair bargain and
no backing eout, and herang away for dear
life. .Well, says the captain, 'what will
you take to stopT wall, captn, guess
