SIZZLING DRY.GOODS.

People generally think it is very ca.
sy matter to stand behind a counter and
stall dry goods; but u weeks expert
cnce in tho business would convince tho
cleverest man that it is much more diff.
scult and labo,ious than the task of
forming u grindstone twelve hours per
day. The office Of salesman embodies,
III it's duties, necessity for the shrowd-
moss of politician, tho persuasion of
lover, the politeness ola Chesterfield,
tho patience Of job. aud tho impudence
nf q pick pocket. There are statesmen
who make it point never to lose Gus
toner. Ono of the gentlemen who is
in store in Ca,hum street, not long
since, was called TO show very fastidi.
aus and fashionable lady. who dropped
in while going to Stewards after some
rich silk cloaking. Every article ofthe
kind was exposed to hor view; the
whole store was ransacked; nothing
suited. The costly was stigmatized as
trash every thing was common and not
lit for q lady. She guessed she would
go,to Stewau's. The salesman pretend.
cd to be Indignant.
Madam said hc in tone Of injured
innocence, havo q very beautiful and
raro piece of goods; case which di-
vided with Mr.. Stewart who is my broth
or.iniaw; but it would be useless to
show i, to you; it is tho only piece in
tho city
oh allow me to SEQ it, she asked in
an anxious tone i had no intention of
annoying you, or disparaging tho meri,
OF your wares
The salesman who was now watch.
cd in breathless silence by his fellow
clerks, proceeded as if with great reuc.
lance, and with expressions of fear that
it would be injured by getting lumbled,
to display an ancicn. piece of ves,ing.
which had been laying in the store for
five years and was considered to DO I'M
saleabe. The lady examined and liked
it very much. That was piece ofgoods
worthy TO be worn. How much was it

twenty-five shillings.'
oh, shat is very high
There he exclaimed, beginning to
fold it up, Il knew you would say So
Stay! stay! don't be in so great hur-

shillings.'

The salesman, after much persuasion,
void the lady the vesling, for which they
had sought in vain TO get five shillings
per yard at the price above indicated.
The profits ofthe snlo on the vesting and
velvet amounted to ,hirtythree dollars!
ont of which the clerks were permitted
10 pay for a supper Of oysters. The
beat Of this bricf tale of dry goods is to
bo told. The lady had her cloak made
