profound in metaphysics, a ripe scholar
in the classics, bachelor of arts, or even a

A YANKEE TRADE.

The other day We heard of little cir.
cumstance which really occurred not a
hundred miles from Ph@nixvi!le, that is
worth relating:
A certain farmer, who in The course OF
q year, purchased several dollars worth OF
goods and always paid for them at the
store Of village merchant, called upon
the merchant not long since with two
dozen brooms which be offered for sale.
The merchant (who, by the way is fond
of good bargain3 examined his stock,
and said
swell, Cyrus, I will give you shilling
q piece for those brooms."
Cyrus appeared astonished at the offer,
and quickly replied:
"Oh, no, John, I can't begin to take
that for 'em, 10 how but I'll let you
have 'em for twenty cents apiece, and not
a cent less"
"Cyrus, you are crazy" replied john.
"Why see here, showing nice 10: OF
brooms, 'is an article great deal better
than yours (Which was true) that I am
retailiGg for twelve aud half cents, a
piece" (Which was not true by seven and
half ceuts)
"Don't care for that! !" replied Cyrus
"your brooms are cheap enough, but you
can't have mine for less than twenty cents
no how" and pretended to be more
thap half angry, shouldered his brooms
aud started for the door.
The merchant, getting little nervou:
over the probable loss of good customer
and fearing that he might 60 to another
store and never return, said {:
"See here, Cyrus, hold on a while. L
I give you twenty cents for your broom:
l suppose you will not object to take the
price out in goods ?"
"No, don't care if I do, replied Cyrus
"Well, then" said the merchant, ga:
you are an old customer will allow you
twenty cents apiece for this lot Let me-
see-twenty times twenty four makes
just four hundred and eighty-yes, four
dollars and eighty cents. What kind oi
goods will you have, Cyrus Z"
"WelI, now, John, l reckon it don't
make any difference to you what sort OF
goods I take, does itl"
ooh, nc, not at all-not at all"
DWELL, then, as it don't make no differ
enca to you, I will take the amount in
them ere broons of your'n at twelve aud q
half cents piece Let me see-four dol.
lars and eighty conts will get thirty eight
brooms and FIVE cents over. It don't
make much difference, John, about the
FIVE cents, but as you're a right clever
fellow I believe I will just take the change
in tertacker."
When Cyrus went out the door with
his brooms and "terbacker," John was
seized with serious breaking out at the
mouth, during which he was heard to vi
olate the third commandment several
times .-Pbo5njrgtHe Phnnir.

Mr.. Isaacs keeps store for the dis.
posal of all goods it is possible fer citizens
and soldiers in the vicinity of Nashville
to want. On a certain day, three weeks
ago, there entered his place of business
one of Uncle Sans boys in blue, whose
shoes were of the government pattern,
aud as be was enjoying a furlough, did
not suit his fastidious taste. He address.
ed Mr.. Isaacs:
"Got any shoes z"
"0h, yes, real nice shoes. Joseph,
hand me down some of dem A. NO l,
shoes We got from New York yesterday"
The shoes were examined, tried, and
bought-say at only two hundred per
cent above their value.
Nr. Isaacs lighted a cigar and men
tally patted himself upon the back for
having done his duty BY his family and
himself. II about FIVE minutes, however,
his reflections were disturbed by the Re,
appearance of the soldier, his face flushed
with auger-iudeed his indignation was
so great that be did not even swear-his
power of language was unequal to the
occasion. He silently pointed to the
shoes which had already parted from the
uppers-a case Of premature dissolution.
Isaacs contemplated them all around
fer several minutes-but contemplation
would not mend them. An idea struck
him.
"Did you walk in 'em 2"
"W hat did | want with 'em if not to
walk in 'em ?"
(The soldier, though retaining from
bad language was evidently in NO mood
to be tEifed with.)
At this answer Isaacs looked UP into
his face with an expression sa innocent
as that Os an ingenious girl of six years
of age and said:
Ivy didn't you tell me you wanted
to walk in 'em /; I thought you was in the
Cavalry"
The shoes were exchanged.

The progress OF Fenanism in Ireland begins to make
England uneasy. This new association originated in
America where rs known that great number OF Irish
bctakc themselves 10 procure the bread which their
fortunate country cannot supply The spectacle Of
publican institutions, and hatred Of England which
condemns them 10 painful exile, have inspired them
with longing to- wrcst Ireland from English rule, and
to establish a separate republic They are accused Of
aiming at dspossesson Of all proprietors and division
Of air the lands among themselves Everybody knows
that IN Ire land since the Conquest and the English
hscations the political question complicated with
social one. The American Fenians send money, arms
and emissares their brethren In Ireland The
