obstacle in Secretary Boutwell,. The
Secretary won't go in for making Dent
Governor of the reconstruction State, be-

and then, if he fails in Mississippi, he can
make money here in New York out OF

EEWhen trade grew slack, and notes
fell due, the merchants face grew long
and Elue: his dreams were troubled
through the night, with sherilf's bailifls
all in sight At last his wife unto him
said /: ''Arise at once, get out of bed land
get your paper, ink and pen, and say
these words unto the men: My goods l
wish to sell to you, and to your wives
and daughters too ;my prices are so very
low, that each will buy before they go"
He did as his good wife advised, and
straightway went and advertised crowds
came and bought out all he had, his
notes were paid, his dreams were glad;
and he will tell you to this day how well
