MISC SCELLANY.
ONE DAYS sHoPKEEPING
by CLARA AUGUSTA.

Cousin Harry is as handsome fellow as
the most fastidious among my lady readers
would wish to see. and that is saving
great deal for cousin Harry, when one takes
into consideration the taste Of the 10Th cen
tury.
Harry is country shopkeeper-a grocery
keeper, mean; that is, he sells pork, beet,
fish, oil, molasses and such articles, on one
side Of the store, and calicoes, de laines
shceting, nuslins few silks, on the other
side.
Harry's custom was very extensive. A
handsome young man in store is in him
selfa sort Of sign. and goodlooking
clerk is worth hundred dollars year more
than an ugly one. 1t is a lamentable fact,
and ] am sorry 10 record it but it is so.
Last summer was up at Uncle Johns :;
but the fine strawberries and raspberries
with which the kitchen garden abouuded
were not despised by me.
One morning, Harry received an urgent
summons to attend the County Court in a
neighboring town, as witness in an impor-
tant case. He was obliged to go off in a
hurry, and having no time to look up sub
stitute in bis store, appointed mo to the dig
nifty.
"You can't fail of doing right, Charley
said he, patronizlngly; "the goods are all
marked in plain fgures-that is, the dry,
goods; and then molasses sells for fifty cents
sugar ten to fourteen cents, and butter is
worth shilling, store pay; and, mind you
Charley, eggs are twenty cents dozen, but
don't take any unless they'll sink readily in
cold water-they may be rotten, you
know; and the butter, too, don't take any
without putting a fork into each ball to try
it; it might be rancid; and, above and
over all, my boy, be polite to the pretty
girls. Good bye"-and Harry put the big
brass key Of the store ian insignia of authori
ty) into my hand, and leaped into the cal
which was to take him to the depot.
. I felt somewhat dignifed-as it were
promoted from the rank of private to tba
of a captain -and I went up to my room a
Uncle Johns, for a survey Of my toilet.

Advancing from the west.
AS ends the weary week of toll.
And comes the day of rest.

Her radiant beauty sheds;

Their light around our heads.

Bright o'er the morning ray
It's sacred light viii! cast,
Fair emblem Of the glorious day
Tint ever m"rc shall last.
