that, too, without once, like Goldsmith's villa
gers, allowing the wonder to grow, that one head
can carry all you know-we presume you to be
equally able to define all the delicate shades of

In his perplexity to ask me the difference pre-

one word we hear 40 often and 80 jestingIy used !,
and the other more reserved to grace the columns
of anewspaper or the pages Of a romance. Do
both words mean the same thing, is one
Nothing, the other evsrything? As my friend In

CENTRE MARKEr.-Though the supply was
equal to the demand this morning, and OF good
quality, ii was evident that there was ] falling
on in the number of country dealers and the
quantity offered by them. This may be ac-
counted Tor by the fact that the harvest has not
ended, and many cannot leave their fields to
attend the markets. The energetic city dealers
have fully proven their usefulness to our citi-
zens. They have offered a very excellent supply
OF vegetables to-day, and at prices little different
from the prices when the country dealers were
all at their stands The fish market was appa-
rently deserted this morning, the only articles
onerpd Were a few CLAIMS and boiled crabs for
which there was but little demand The hay
market Is improving, the new crop coming in
rapidly. The prices in the sheds are fof-
