Tricks of Trade in New York.

A trick was lately played off on the clerks
of Stewards Marble Palace, equal to any
thing recorded of the rogues Of Paris, male
or female. A lady dressed in superb style,
went into that magnificent depot of linery,
and inquired for shawls. After examining
several of the fne.t, the lady pitched on
one that pleased her fancy, and inquired the
price; the answer was $500. Upon con-
templating the rich pattern again and again,
admlring the soft fine tissue, and INDUCING
in all the sweet charms that such an object
is calculated to inspire, the lady determn.

the lady slowl ypromenaded toward the door.
Here she stops and pauses, and returns to

she tells the clerk she has changed her
mind--she prefers not to take the shawl
without consultation with her husband -
there is possibility that that excellent per-
son might think her little extravagant ia

dollars are returned with the shawl, and the

The lady again stops, the cashmere still re-

Mc'Allister, the Magician,
AND THE MARKET WOMAN.

Mc'Alister, the famous magician, was
passing through one of our markets the 9TH
er morning, with friend he suddenly
paused before the old woman who had a
few dozen of eggs for sale. Are these
eggs fresh? enquired Mc'Allister Yaw,
dey ish vera fresh, replied the Dutch wo.

them, said the magician, that is, if pay
for all break Yaw, said the vender of
the eggs, and Mc'Allister Immediately
cracked one, and exclaimed with wel-feign-
ed establishment, good gracious what is
this ? and at the same time picked up tWen-
ty dollar gold piece that had dropped out
of the egg. The old woman stared in sur
prise. McAlister broke another egg-the
woman cycling him closely, and to her Won
der ten dollar gold piece dropped out OF
the egg Another egg was broken by the
magician, who quietly remarked, | rather
like these eggs, as five dollar gold piece
fell on the stand The Dutch woman was
evidently very much interested about this
time. and began to eye the rest of her eggs
with interest. McAllister continued eX-
aiming them, and again remarked, This
looks like good one, and breaking it at the
same time, two dollars and half piece
fell out The woman now ventured to say,
/ doesh not like to see mine eggs all preaks
up on de grounds, and ish no use Oh!
nonsense, my good woman, said McAllister
what is the difference, so you get paid for
them? at any rate let me have one more.
At the same time crack went the fifth egg,
and out dropped another piece of gold =
The Dutch woman now grew highly excited
and Selling her basket, refused to sell an
other egg! Wherein McAllster and his
friend after paying for the broken eggs,
walked on through the market. They were
not gone long before they returned to the
scene of this egg exploit, when, what was
his establishment to behold the old Dutch
woman in the highest state of excitement,
smashing her eggs as fast as she could,
while the ground about was covered with
the ruins.
We're ish tie eggs nit tie colt? shrieked
the woman.
Oh, you don't get hold of the right ones,
said he; now this looks like good one,
and he prepared to break it, but the woman
said she would not sell it, so he gave it up,
and she Immediately smashed it, with the
same Notifying result as had attended her
former efforts.
All, ha said McAliser, the good eggs
are gone-but as there is only hall-a-dozen
left, l will take those il you like.
The poor woman, with miserable look
at her broken stock on the ground, and i
deep sigh, babe him take them.
Well, said he, as they are mine, | vii

woman started. He broke another will

any longer, but dashed upon the rest 0
them, and with one blow smashed them all
and looked wildly about for the gold pieces

" Barns are not required in Syria-no
hay ever being cut, or in demand-cattle,

year round. Horses are far better managed
in Syria than in England or the United
States, more spirited, and endure the sever

OF Europe, or our own best of countries.
The system of feeding, which is uniform
throughout the east, is to give them fine
dry straw, broken up by pounding, anala-

bags containing perhaps apeck, mixed with
four quarts OF barley or beans In Egypt

Curing Hay.
BY W. LITTLE.

Much difference of opinion and practice
exists, as to the proper time and manner
of cutting and curing hay. A writer in a
late number Of the Ohio CuItlvator. has
called the attention of It's readers to the
fact, that the greater portion of hay made
in this State will not winter stock without
loss Of flesh. If this is true, which |
have some reason to believe, it is a fact
disgracelul to our reputation as an agricul-
tural community. 1t becomes, then, mat
ter Of some consequence TO know what is
the right time, and which is The best mode
Of preparing grass for winter. 1t is obvi.
Gus to the most careless mind, that the OBJ
ect of the farmer ought to be TO preserve
the hay in the condition most resembling
grass in its highest perfection. Now, this
time IS certainly not before the blade and
leaves are formed and done growing, be.

The Day of the Lord.

The day of the Lord is at haudj
Its storms roll up the sky;
nation sleeps starving on heaps of gold
All dreamers toss and sigh.
When pain is the greatest the child is born,
And the night is darkest before the dawn
OF the day of the Lord at hand.
Gather you, gather you, Angels of God
Chivalry, Justice ard Truth
Come, for the Earth is grown coward and old,
Come down and renew us her youth.
Freedom, seltsacritice, mercy and love,
Haste to the battle field, -stOop from above
To the day of the Lord at hand.
Gather you, gather you, hounds Of hellj
Famine, and plague and war,
Idleness, bigotry, cant and misrule-
Gather and fall in the snare
Hirelngs and mammOnites, pedants and knaVes'
Crawl to the battlefield, sneak to your graves
In the day of the Lord at hand.
Who would sit down and whine for lost age o
While the Lord of the ages is here lgold
True heats will leapat the trumpet OF God,
And those who can suffer can dare
Each past age of gold was an iron age, too;
And the meekest ofsants may find stern work to d
In the day of the Lord at hand.

Pounding the Clothes.

A matron, in want of servant, daugh-
ter of the Emerald Isle a few days since
offered her services. To the usual inquiry
of what Bridget could do, livery thing"
was answered satisfactorily. On Monday,
the lady of the house directed her to pre-
pare for washing, showed her the soiled gar
ments and the pounding barrel. "The
pounding barrel P' calculated Bridget ooh,
yes; understand" Surprising all the d.
rections given that were necessary, the lady
LETT home to do some business which re-
CURED her absence all day. Having put a
boiler over the fire, Bridget began her work
at the pounding barrel putting in few
articles, -pounded, and then added few
more and pounded away and thus she con-
tinued all day long. On returning home in
the evening, the lady inquired, {" How did
you get along with the washing, Bridget?'
" An in troth, ma'am, not at all well
have been pounding and pounding the
clothes all day, and | cannot see that one
bit of the dirt has come out, unless it has
gone through the bottom Of the barrel )
It's the most curious way to wash that ever
l see" "Why so, let me see," said the
lady. Arriving at the washroom, Bridget
said Here, ma'am, is the clothes; could
have washed them all clean, my own way;
have worked hard and pounded all day,
and | don't see that have done any good"
The reader will imagine the lady's surprise
when she saw that Bridget had been pound
ing the clothes, all day, and that the result
of her hard work was merely to pack the
whole washing snugIy into the barrel 1t
is unne cessary to add that the next day
Bridget returned to the job in her own way,
and did it well in half the time spent over
the pounding barrel.
