My friend Pickering is a very ner.
vous little man, who fuses and iidgets
about in a remarkably quick manner,
and who holds in utter detestation
any and everything that can possibly
come under the cognomen Of "sow
coach, land who INDUCES in some
rather queer expressions when aiE.
Thing moves too slow tor his views.-4
Pickering is blessed with q "maid of

ter more proiano words during the
past three months than three years in
Purgatory can atone for. While Wis.
ltinS his house one evening last week,
my friend dispatched the girl upon an
errand to a neighboring store, and ac-
cording to his ideas, she remained
an unaccouutably long time. lie
pulled out his watch, and looked a
haIfdozen times within ten minutes,
whistIed, drummed upon the table
with his fingers, beat time with his
feet upon the floor, and finally started
up, and began pacing the room, as if
his nervous agitation and impatience
could in any degree accelerate the
movements Of the absent Abigail
But the girl came back at length, and
her impatient master broke forth with;
For goodness sake, Maggie, where
have you bcenp
"To the sh.ore, airl" was Maggie 6
reply.
well, " said her master, sit i8abouf
one hundred yards to the store, and
you have been fifteen minutes in 60
Ing and rctuming!"
"Yis, sir" broke in the girl
"Now, Maggie continued my
friend, "tako my advice, and when
you die, remain quietly in yourggavc,

dered girl.
