DEAD OR DRUNK "A queer story is told
in late English paper Of an inmate Of a
workhouse, who fell into such state that it
was difficult to say whether he was dead or
"dead drunk The opinion of the doctors,
however, was taken, and he was pronounced
to be in the former condition; but while the
clergyman was improving the event, the
panper recovered from his spiritual trance,
and was discovered to be listening, with
earnest attention, to his own funeral sermon.

Wholesale Clothing House;

"E.r Y.R.4BS 100, TINE WHOLE
II Clothing trade Of the West was comparatively
of small amount, and was confred aimost exclu.
sively to retail business in the larger towns and
cities alone. Now this line of Goods has become
AN almost indispensable part Of the stock of every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city to
the crOss-road stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these the great
saving of material by cutting large quantity of
garments together-the superior work aud speed of
sewing machines in interchangeable great
ing OF time in waiting for your 'turn" at the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty of then getting a salts
factory "ht,' and above all the saving of at least
one-hdlf the cost of the garment in the price. For
number of years this has only been a part of our
general Dry Goods business, but we have made
arrangements to devote our whole house exclu-
sively to 1t alone with such lines of Notions and
Furnishing Goods as will be necessary and desirable
In that trade. Believing that the true interest OF
the trade will lie to sustain in this enterprise,
we would especially announce that we now have
on hand one of the largest and most desirable
stocks Of WELL MADE CLOTHING that was
ever offered TO the trade of the West
We respectfully solicit call from all our old
friends and the trade generally. We charge moth
ing for showing goods, and not much if you bst,
them. We are prepared to sell to all prompt-time
buyers as low. as any house in the trade liberal
discoant also made on all cash sales.

THE ART OF PUTTING THINGS.

Don't you knew, my reader nosunversed in
the ways of life, that it depends entirely on
how the story is told low the thing is repre-.
sented or misrepresented, whether your con.
duct on any given occasion shall appear hero
ie or ridiculous, reasonable or absurd, natural
or affected, modest or impudentI And don't
you know, too, what vast number of ill.set
people are always ready to give the story an
unfavorable turn to put the matter in bad
light; and how many more, not really il-set
not really with any malicious intention, are
prompted by their love of fun, in relating any
act of an acquaintance, to try to set it in a
ridiculous lightf Your domestic establishment
is shabby or unpretending, elegant or tawdry,
Just as the fancy of the moment may lead your
neighbor to put the thing. Your equipsge
is a neat little turnout, or shabby attempt
your house is oniet or dull, yourself genius
or bIockhead, lust as it may strike your
friend on the instant to put the thing. And
don't we all know some people in the MAIN
who never by any chance put the thing ex.
cept in the unfayorabfe way2 Some people
have a happy knack for putting in a pleasant
way everything that concerns themselves--
Mr.. A. 8 son gets poor place a. a bank clerk ;
bis father goes about saying that the lad has
found a fine opening in business. The young
man is ordained, and gets curacy on Sails
bury plain; his father rejoices that there, new
er seeing a human face, he has abundant leis-
ure for etudy, and for improving his mind

THE PRICE OF A VOTE.

The Maine Temperance Journal has a story
under the title of the Senator from which the
following is an extract. Alas that votes can
be bought at such price; and that wicked men
are suffered tc push their way to places of dis.
tinction and honor over the wrecks of ruined
