to have this effect it must be very bad in

are carried, thrown over their heads TO

and dingy in its interior as the condensed
essence of midnight The windows, if
there be any, are foul with dirt, the webs
of spiders and the corpse9 of flies, whose
life blood these have sucked out. The
wooden beams OF the ceiling are dark with
smoke. and coated with the lamp black
that for ages has risen from the thick tai
low candles and the pine cones the people
burn The door is ever ready to let in,
not the refreshing air of heaven, but in
trusive pigs and hens, who naturally feel
that they have more right to this sanctuary
of domestic happiness than those who lay
claim to it. Goats hop in and out leaving
behind them trails of fearful odors that

DULLNESS IN TRADE lLLUSTRATED.-Ihe
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, de-
spite their almost inexhaustible invention
and resources have been obliged OCCASION
ally to Weld to the pressure of the times.
One Of these gentlemen who has recently
returned from trip tor Thistle, Bros. X
Co, of this city did not show very large
exhibit of orders to balance the liberal ex-
pense account allowed him by the firm.
and Mr. Thistle, after looking over his re-
turn, said, Mr. Rataplan, | am afraid you
do not approach the dealers in the right
way | used 10 be very successful in this
line Now Just suppose me to be Mr..
Bigher Of Sellout. Illinois, and show me
how YOU introduce the house
Accordingly Rataplan stepped out Of
the counting-room and re-entered hat in
hand, inquiring, :. l. Mr. Bigher in p

fine unbroken lot of samples which | would
like to show YOU; think that We can offer
YOU some special advantages, &c" And
Rataplan delivered himself of neat
speech in professional style. Nery well,
very well, :" said Thistle; -- don't see but
that YOU understand the way to get at
customers"
Excuse me- Mr. Thistle, said Rat
aplan, | am afraid YOU do not understand
the stvle Of Western merchants Just now !;
suppose YOU exchange places with me and
we repeat this rehearsal" = Certainly,

stepped out Returning, he found Rata

YOU are not, for I've had two drummers to

months, and if | could get hold Of one OF
the blasted fools that send 'em out here at
this time, I'm darned if | wouldn't boot
him clean out Of the town of Sellout."
Thatll do, that'll do, Mr.. Rataplan,
said Thistle | have no doubt you did the
best YOU could for the interest of the
house Trade Is little dull.

4 Dor Team.

From DIR. Hayes New Work, q The Open Polar
Sea
| have superb turn out, twelve dogs
and fine sledge The animals are in most
excellent condition, every one of them
strong and healthy, and they are very fleet.
They whirl my Greenland sledge over the
ice with celebrity not calculated for weak
nerves. have actually ridden behind
them over six measured miles in twenty
eight minutes and without stopping to
blow, the team have returned over the
trace in thirty-three Sonutag and | had
race, and | beat him by four minutes.
| should like to have some of my friends of
Saratoga and Point Breeze up here, to
show them a new style of speeding animals.
Our racers do not reqnire any blanketing
after the heat, nor sponging either. We
harness them each with single trace, and
these traces are of a length to suit the fam
CIV of the driver-the longer the better,
for they are then not so easily tangled, the
draft of the outside dogs Is more direct,
and, if the team comes upon thin ice, and
breaks through, your chances of escape
from immersion are i'll proportion to their
distance from you. The traces are all of
the same length, and hence the dogs run
side by side, and when properly harnessed,
their heads are in line My traces are
so measured that the shoulders of the dogs
are just twenty feet from the forward part
of the runners.
The team is guided solely by the whip
and voice. The strongest dogs are placed
on the outside, and the whole team is
swayed to right and left according as the
whip falls on the snow to the one side oil
the other, or as it touches the leading dogs
as it is sure to do if they do not obey the
gentle hint with sufficient alacrity. The
voice aids the whip, but in all emergencie:
the whip is the only real reliance. Youl
control over the team is exactly in proper
ton to your skill in the use of it. The
lash is about four feet longer than th'
traces, and is tipped with q cracker y o
hard sinew, with which skillful driver
can draw blood if SO inclined and he car

Is it wonderful that their church, with its
bright and cleanly walls, and all the
adornment with which time and wealth

appear to them a heaven on earth, and
draw them towards it with an influence
that nothing earthly can destroy?
