The stagnation of trade has been severely
felt by all business men, and even that enter
prising class of our fellow-creatures known as
"drummers" or travelling statesmen, DESPITE
their almost inexhaustible invention and re-
sources, have been obliged occasionally TO yield
to the pressure of the times.
One of these gentlemen who has recently
returned from trip for Thistle Bros. & Co.,
of this city, did not show very large exhibit
of orders to balance the liberal expense ac-
count allowed him by the firm, and Mr.. This
tie, after looking over his returns, said
Mr.. Rataplan, am afraid you do not ap-
proach the dealers in the right way; 1 used to
be very successful in this line Now just sup
pose me to be Mir. Bigher, of Sellout, Ill., and
show me the way you introduce the house."
Accordingly Rataplan stepped out of the
counting-room, and reentered, hat in hand, in
quiring, SIS Mr.. Bigher in ?" e.
"That's my name" said Thistle, urbanely.
MY name is Rataplan, sir !; l represent the
house of Thistle Bros. q Co., of BOSTON,
Thistle, in his character of Western merchant,
here rose, offered the salesman chair, and ex-
pressed his pleasure at seeing him.
Il am stopping with OverchaIge at the
Stickem House, and have fine unbroken lot
of samples which L would like to show you
think we can offer you some special advanta-
ges, &C." And Rataplan delivered himself Of
neat speech in professional style
"Very well, very well, )" said Thistle: 81 don't
see but you understand the way to get at Gus

Excuse me, Mr.. Thistle" said Rataplan n
am afraid you do not understand the style OF
Western merchants just now; suppose YOU
exchange places with me and we repeat this
rehearsal"
Certainly" said Thistle, and picking up
his hat be stepped out. Returning, he found
Rataplan with his chair tilted back, hat cock
ed fiercely over his right eye, his heels planted
on Thistle's polished desk, and lighted cigar
between his teeth.
Thistle looked little staggered, but never
the less he commenced, -

"Yes, he is" responded Rataplan, blowing a
cloud ofpure Connecticut into Thistle's eyes,

seriou. Advice to /" Green. skaters.


Now that the skating mania has broken out
with violence, an exchange takes occasion to
print the following directions for beginners:
/. Never try to skate in two directions at
once. This feat has often been attempted by
new beginners, but never successfully 1t al
ways ends in sorrow.
2. Eat few apples for refreshment sake
while skating, and be sure to throw the cores
on the ice for fast skaters to break their shins
over. Fast skaters are your natural enemies,
and should not be allowed to enjoy themselves
peaceably.s
B. Sit down occasionally, no matter where
right in the way of the rest OF the party, II
you want to. There is no law to prevent a
new beginner from sitting down whenever he
has an inclination to do SO.
4. When you meet particularly handsome
lady, try to skate on both sides of her at once.
This is very pretty, and sure to create a sensa-
ton. If the lady's big brother is in sight it is
well to omit this.
5. Skate over all the small boys at once.
Knock 'em down. 1t makes great iun, and
they like it. s4i
q. Ii you skate into hole in the ice, take
it coolly. Thing how you would feel il the
water was boiling hot.
:. your skates are too slippery buy new
pair. Keep buying new pairs till you find
pair that are not slippery.

A correspondent of the Boston Post, writing
from Rome, furnishes the following incidents
illustrative of the intelligence and informa-

public:
MILKING THE COW.
There is large gallery of paintings here
called the Capitoline collection. Some of
them are masterpieces and well known among
the best OF their authors works. One in par
ticular attracts the attention of every visitor.
1t IS OF great size, aud the figures are full OF
life and expression. The colors are also rich
and varied. 1t is called "the Rape ofEuropa.'
and waSpainted by Paolo Veronese. From
the shore Of the Hellespont, Jupiter, under
the form of a mik-white bull, is about to bear
his mistress to the opposite bank. The god
has knelt gently down and is partly reclining
on the turf. Europa has already seated her
self upon his back, and is looking around "a
dant with grace and loneliness, her feet hang
down to the ground, her lover, turning his
neck and regarding her with aAorous fond
ness is licking one of them with ms tongue.
On one occasion l visited this painting with
several acquaintances, male and female. Aft

one of the gentleman which of them al, he lik.
