SPECTATORS AND CAPITALIsTs.-The
following lively, characteristic and effective
story is of Partisan origin, but will hit this
latitude as we'll as that -
Two gentlemen were chatting on the Boule-
ward. One was great speculator, devolvlng
the plan of magnificent project, the other
a puzzled capitalist, ready to snap at the
bait. He hesitated little, but was yielding
for conscience sake.
Near these two paused couple of young
sters of ten or twelve years. They were look
ing into tobacco shop close by, and one
cries out to the other:
:.By the piper. I'd like to smoke sous
worth of tobacco
"Well," said the other, "buy sous
worth"
uAh, as luck will have it. I havnt the
SOU"
"Hold on I've got two sous
"That's the ticket just the thing-one
for the pipe, aud one for the tobacco"
ooh, yes! but what am to do
"You Oh you $hnNb' Me s'ochho<|"r ;
Ypc cur YH.
1t was flash of light, the capitalist thrust
his hands in his pockets and fed. The spec
uator cast furious look at the two urchins
and turned down the street.

How YANKEE NoTIoNs WAS TAKEN In.
-A Hoosier correspondent Of the Western
(Indiana) Herald tells, in the following, a
GOOD one, how Yankee notions peddlar was
taken in by the Spencervillians, of Spencer
vile, in that State:
Notions drove into town and commenced
trade, when a merchant stepped up and Sc
lectcd goods to the amount of one dollar,
and carried them into his store, and return
ed with coon skin, and says: "Sir, here is
your paw for the goods "But hold on,
says Notions, II don't take coon skins for my
goods" "Can't help it now" says the mer-
chant, "the trade is made, and coon skin
is dollar here-legal tender" "Well,"
says Notions, ''if them are your laws, here,
I guess can stand it," and at once concocts
a plan to get his coon skin into something
available Getting the coon skin into as
small compass as possible, he makes for
saloon, and there concludes to spend quar-
ter. Holding one hand under his coat, with
the other he beckons up three or four suck
ers, and after drinking all around throws
down the coon skin, and demands seventy
FIVE cents in change. "Yes," says Bonitace,
"that is good dollar" and handed him out
three muskrat skins, aud says: "liere, sir,
is your change" Notious took his change
and started.

THE CURE OF INTEAIpERATE HABITS
A notion prevails that a person addicted to
alcohol stimulants cannot at once leave them
off without danger of illness, or great and
long continued suffering. This IS an error
y cup Of tea orcotfee will supply the needed
tonic when sense of exhaustion is felt, and
we have the authority of an eminent physi-
clan for stating that no constitutional injury
will be suffered from immediate and total ab-
stinence. The uncomfortable feelings will
subside in forty-eieht hours, and will be e"-
hrely oeer an a fortnight. Any man who
has firm resolution can break himself at once
of the degrading and fatal habit of drinking.

All accounts of our ancestors are now beginning
TO wake up our minds to a lively interest. When
we see them Drawing the hardshps Of the desert,
overcoming every difficulty from savage foe, and
meeting the salwart Briton in long, distracting,
and bloody war, we are pleased with every danger
they escaped, and wish to trace out the most mi

Two NUTs FOR THE PUBLIC KNUcKLEs
TO CRAcK.-Ifa SoLer man lies down across
the public highway, and refusing to get up
when politely requested, thereby frightening
taxpaying, free thinking, quietly disposed
citizens horse, and compels his rider to dis
mount and walk through the mud and lead
the astonished brute by this unusual specta-
Gle on the highway, is that man considered
public nuisance or not If he is, by what
name shall We call drnnhcm man doing
precisely the same thing? Does the fact Of
his being drunken mitigate the offence in
him and demand a more lenieut appellative
at our hands. BY what authority does the
drunken assume the prerogative of lying just
where he pleases upon the peoples highway
to frighten the peoples horses and compel
the people to dismount and foot it through
the mud, when riding is just as cheap? Has
a greater than Cesar decrccd it! Such lib.
critics with the highways would not be grant
ed sober citizen, then why should it be tol-
Grated in a drunken citizen? Why give
the drunkard such extraordinary privileges
over the sober man? Who is this strange
lawciver come in our midst?
If a mechanic exposes his steam engines,
his machinery, his instruments of martial
music, his chinese gongs and fire works on the
public highway, and sets them in full blast to
show what he can do, and thus frighten the
peoples horses until their riders comfort is
set aside and their necks perled, the said me-
chauic would be considered nuisance and
would receive imperative orders to remove
these exhibitions of his industry and skill to
more appropriate place. At the same time,
and among the same people, the whiskey
pcddler is quietly allowed to set up or lay
down upon the highway just as many specl-
mems of his skill and industry, in the shape
of drunken men, as he leases, and nothing
is said. No clustering gfunctionary, after the
fashion of Il district constable, comes along
and taps him on the shoulder and orders
him to remove his wares to an appropriate
place. Why this distinction? Does the sell
ling of whiskey place the seller above the
power to do wrong? Does it shower immortal
honors upon him and render him god that
all others shall bow down at his cart wheel
slriDc ? Is it treason to question his rights
in the premises If not, let somebody make
haste and set these things right. Crack these
nuts with your knukles, ens.-,SpUd Of
