..say. Yeou, Got any NaiIs,o

A tall. gawky looking countryman du-
ring the height of robustness season last
fall, walked into one of the largest whole
sale dry goods houses on Broadway, and
entirely disregarding the invitations ofthe
numerous statesmen to inspect the latest
patterns, he strobe into the counting room
where the heads of the establishment
were sitting in solemn conversation. Az
ter taking cursory glance of the room.
and surveying attentively the faces of its
occupants, he asked with ar unctious
\ Yankee nasal twang;
Say. yeou-got any nails?''
M lis, sir, nalls!" repeated the most
disnifed Dombey of the firm "No, sir,
what should We do with naiis?''
"Waal, | dunno--thought maybe yeou
.mought. Haintg got no nails, eh?''
= g No SIR replied Dombcy again, with
an emphasis, motioning to the door.
The individual in search of nails, took
his time about it, and then left the coun-
ing room. In turn be asked every clerk
the same question, and received the in
formation from all, that .snails'' formed
no part of the establishment.
"Waal," said he, going toward the
door, ''don't / keep nails here, no how?''
The principal salesman, whose dignity
was hurt by theidea that any one should
suppose that an establishment where he
had prominent place, should keep nails
beaded the countryman off as he was pro
-ceeding toward the entrance. and asked
him abruptly what he wanted,
Want" said the countryman, as coo
as a cucumber, Il want to know eff yov's

recolect that the happiness. of to day is in

On this account we should do all in our
power 10 make home attractive. Not on

serve to render its intercourse amiable and
taffectionate, but we should strive to adorn
it with those charms which good sense

A Timely Hint.

Let everything be done to facilitate
spring operations be proceeded with:
make roads and walks, and dig out and
prepare the ground for trees. Where
this cannot be done, mark out the direc-
tion of the former, and insert stakes into
the inte nded positions of the latter. and
write the name of the tree on the stake.
This will be found a great assistance when
he hur led season of planting arrives:
and above all things, prepare an ample
heal of suitable compost to plant with.
that your luxurient anticipations may the
sooner be realized.
