DROyERs AGAINST TOPs.

Dinner was spread in the cabin of
the peerless steamer, the New World,
and a splendid company were assem-

passengers thus prepared for gastrono-
mic duty was little creature of the
genuine top species, decked daintily as
an early butterfly, with kids of ire
proachable whiteness, miraculousneck-
tie, and spider like quizzing glass on
his nose, and the delicate animal turn
ed his head aflectionately aside with:
"Waitah !"
"Sah ?"
"Bring me powpellah of a female

"And, waitah, tell the steward to
wub my plate with vegetable called
onion, which will give delicious havaw
to my dinnah."
While the refined exquisite was Civ
ing his order, a jolly Western drover
had listened with open mouth and pro-
truding eyes. When the diminutive
creature paused, he brought his fist
down upon the table with force that
made every dish bounce, and then
thundered out /:
"Here, you goldarned ace ofspades."

SEARCH FOR 4 RETAII. STORE.

A grccn-appcaring genius, on his
first visit to this city, observed sign
over store thus, "Wholesale and Re
tail Store" He worked his way
through the crowd of ladies until he
faced one of the clerks, who was ex-
hibiting some articles to a young lady,
when he broke out with
"Say, Mister, who's boss here ~
"The proprietor has just stepped
ont, sir"
"Well, is this retailing shop ?"
"Yes, sir. wholesale and retail
store"
Guess you understand your trade" "
90 yes" replied the clerk, wrap
ping up a bundle for his lady custo-
mer, "what can do for you?"
"Wcll, as the cold weather is COM
ing on, | thought Imightas well come
and give you a job"
81 don't understand you, sir" re-
piled the clerk, who began to thinl;
that the fellow was in the wrong box,
"Zacly so well, I'll tell you"
"Explain what you mean, my
FRIEND" said the clerk, as he saw him
produce a bundle from under his coat.
"Wcll, as said before, the cold
weathcr's coming on, | thought | might
as well be fxin' for it. Come mighty
near freezin' t'othcr winter, tell ye l
did but
'T hopey you may tell what youwant,
so | may serve YOU"
Certainly, squire, certainly ; I al
ways do business in a hurry; and just
as quick as the old master will let you
| want you to retail these old shirts.
Let them come down about the knee,
kase | don't wear drawers"
The effect may be imagined, but, as
novelists say; can't be described. The
loud burst of laughter which followed
served to convince the poor fellow he
had committed himself, and his long
legs ware put in motion for the door.

come in. / shouldn't wonder if we
made trade, after ALL"
Nothing 10th, Luke obeyed.
"Molly p bawled Mr.. Blifkins,
thrusting his head into the kitchen
door.
Molly tripped out into the entry.
The round, white arms were barred
above the elbows, and bore traces of
the -four she had been sitting.
Her dress was neat gingham, over
which was tied blue checked apron;
but she looked as winning and lovely
as she always did whenever she was
found.
She blushed and smiled as she saw
Luke, and then, turning her eyes upon
her father, waited, dutitfhlly, to hear
what he had to say.
The old man regarded his daughter
for moment with a q,lizzical look.
"Molly, this young man-mayhap
you've seen him before-has brought
me a lot of tubs and barrels, all of his
own make-a right good articalc, too.
He asks pretty steep price for 'em;
but if you are willin, to give it, well
and good; and bark ye, my girl what
ever bargain you make your old father
will ratiiy."
As Mr.. Blifkins said this, he consi-
derately stepped out of the room, and
we will follow his example. But the
kind Of bargain the young people
made can readily be conjcctured by the
speedy wedding that followed.
Luke Jordan turned his attention
to the study medicine, of which pro-
fession he became useful and inhuen-
tial member; but every year, on the an
nivcrsary of his marriage, he delights
his father-in-law by some specimen Of
the handicraft by which he won what
he dcclairs to be " the best ind dearest
wife in the world"

LITTLE SAvINGs.-We heard once
of an agent for a missionary society
who obtained generous subscription
from business man whom he had
heard reproving one of his clerks for
using ,ohole wafer. The gentleman
told him that by small savings he ac-
quired means for liberal charities. The
London Times, according to Mr.. For
ney, of the Philadelphia Press, rare
faculty for saving in the same way.
He says:
Nothing is allowed to 90 to waste.
A. card is kept by the different press
men, and on it is marked the cause of
any spoiled sheet--whether it was the
fault of the paper-market, feeder, or
the press. The very rags with which
the machinery is wiped are counted,
and those whouse them cannot receive
clean ones until they return the dirty
ones. The latter are then washed by
a washingmachine in the office, and it
is said that this simple little operation
saves yearly 9l5O, or near $500 in
gold.

TmG SAILOR AND THE ACTRESS.

"When l was a poor girl" said the
duchess ofSt. Albans, "working very
hard for my thirty shillings week, I
went down to Liverpool during the
holidays, where l. was always kindly
received. I was to perform in new
piece, pretty little affecting drama ;
and in my character 1 represented a
poor, friendless orphan girl, reduced to
the most wretched poverty. A heart
less tradesman prosecutes the sad he
roine for a heavy debt, and insists on
putting her in prison, unless some one
will be bail for her. The girl replies,
"Then l have no hope, / have not a
friend in the world" "What! will no
one be bail for you to save you from
prison ?" asks the stern creditor. 81
have told you | have not friend on
earth" was my reply. But just as /
was uttering the words, l saw sailor
in the upper gallery, springing over
the railing, letting himself down from
one tier to another, until he bounded
clear over the orchestra and foot
lights, and placed himself beside me
in moment. eyes, you shall have
one friend, at least, my poor young
woman" said he, with the greatest ex-
preston in his honest, sunburnt coun-
tenance. II will 90 bail for you to
any amount. And as for you, turn
ing to the frightened actor,) if you
don't bear a hand and shift your moor
ing, you lubber, it will be worse for
YOU when [ come athwart your bows"
Every creature in the house rose the
uproar was perfectly indescribable;
peals of laughter, screams of terror,
cheers from his tawny messmates in
the gallery; preparatory scrapings Of
violins from the orchestra and amidst
the universal din there stood the un-
conscious cause of it, sheltcring me,
"the poor, distressed young woman"
and breathing defiance and destruction
against my mimic prosecutor. He
was only persuaded to relinquish his
care of me by the managers pretend
ing to arrive and rescue me, with a
profusion of theatrical bank notes.

How TO HAVE MEAIy POTATOrs

How TO HAVE MEALY POTATOES.
We find the following credited to
the Germantown Islegaph: 1t is a
very common thing in the Spring to
find strong, watery potatoes on the
table, unless care has been caken to
select and preserve them. A poor
potato is the poorst article of food that
can be had as soon as they begin to
sprout they will begin to grow poor
and watery, the better part of the root
going to the support ofsprouts; hence,
to have mealy nice potatoes, it is ne
ccssary to keep them from exhausting
themselves in this way. An exchange
gives the following method ofprevent-
ing the potatoes from sprouting, which
we hope will be tried and approved
Take good, sound potatoes and place
them in tub or barrel, and pour boil
ing water over them, letting them, re-
main in the water until the eyes are
scalded SO they will not sprout; dry
the potatoes thoroughly in the sun,
and put them away in a box or bar
rel in cool, dry place. This will
give good mealy potatoes all the time.

The way to get Drink-the Way they
Did II.

Three ragged, wretched topers stood
shivering upon street corner. They
had not a cent between them, and
neither had drank a drop within an
hour. They debated the deeply-inter-
esting question how to obtain the
next glass. After many impracticable
suggestions one of the party said:
"I have an idea; we'll all go into
the next shop and drink"
"Drink?" replied his companions;
chats what's easily said, but who's to
"Nobody. Do as I tell you; I'll
take the responsibility"
Following the speakers directions,
his two companions entered an adjoin-
ing saloon, and called for whisky
skins. The place was kept by Dutch
man. After he had waited on his GUS
toners, and while they were enjoying
their orthodox beverage at the counter,
in walked topper No. /.
"tIow are YEP said heto the dutch
man.
GLOW ye do ?" said the Dutchman.
Topper No. l glanced suspiciously at
Topers No. 2 and 3, and beckoning
the proprietor aside, asked MYSTERIOUS
ly.
ado you know these men?"
81 know no more as dat dey call for
de whisky skin"
"Don't take any money from them
whispered No. 1.
"Sir not take any money for the
whisky skins ?" asked the landlord.
"No; they are inEormers."
"IIey informers?"
"Yes, they buy liquor of you SO as
to inform on you"
"Ah, I understand" said the Dutch
man. "Dey not catch me, Tank
you, sir /; you take something ?"
81 don't object" said Topper No. l,
and he took swig with his compan-
ions.
whats to pay ~ said Topper No. 9,
putting Lis hands into his pocket.
"Nothing," said the Dutchman.
"Me no sell liquor; me keeps it for
my friends"
And having smiled thesupposed in
formers out Of the door, he manifested
his gratitude by generously inviting
the supposed anti-informer to take
second gIss. OF course No. did not
decline the invitation.

THE progress of Sheridan through
the country, and the unbounded en-
thusiasm with which he is everywhere
received, aregall and wormwood to the

wish "Sheridan twenty miles away
but are compelled to be silent. In

had the merit of being well chosen and
to the point.-Con,merciai.
