One of the few really successful enter pfises of the day is Parker & Cos One Dollar Sale. Their system offers a greater opportunity for the purchase of the thous- and and one useful articles, at price that comes within the reach of all classes, than any other.
 . It is a we'll understood fact, that certain classes of goods pay the dealer a very large percentage of profit: This appears almost necessary, especially in Fancy Goods. Jew elry, Silver Plated Ware &c.. of, which Q dealer does not sell sufficient of any one article to make it an object of trade, and is obliged to purchase in small quantities; and when tho goods are sold by three ot four different classes of merchants, and each ehaxge . very large profit ther price becomes double the original cost of manuI factufe before reaching the hands of srsthe people. q s.sae5u
 It is in such goods Parker < O., 98 and 100 Summer St, Boston, deal most extenl siyely~ Their sales are so immense they make each article speciality, often buy ing all a manufacturer can produce. Their system gives universal ssatisfaction. Read their advertisement.

Anecdo.e of Aaron Esmrr.

When Aaron Burr returned to New
 York city to practice law after his vol untary exile in Europe, he found tle Rev, Jedediah Burchard, then late celebrated revivalist, holding series of protractcd meetings in his family church. He attended from habit, al- ways went late, and disturbed the ser- vices by attracting to himself the at tention of the audience on account of his infamous noteriety as the man who sltot Alexander Hamilton, and who has been tried for treason. Mir. Burchard resolved to rebuke him openly. The next Sabbath, wien he came in, and got. about half way up the isle, the clergyman paused in his, discourse, and pointing at Colonel, Burr, said, in the most scathing manner, You hoary headed old sinner, I'll appear against you at the day ofjudge- ment!2 The proud defient old man standing erect as ever, with that per- feet composure which never deserted him, and fixing his fine grey eyes on the occupant of the pulpit, 'Mr. Bur- chard, l have observed through long course of professional experience, that the verry meancst class of creminals arc those who turn States cvidenccW

Getting Dinner For a Ministcr.

The following story is a good illus tration of the free and easy habits of pioneer life. Some families might feel releivcd if they could obtain supply for their tables, when enter taining the minister on easy terms. Mr. Bascom travelled two years in the mountainous regioR of Kentucky. The country was rough, and tue peo- pie generally poor. But the romantic wilderness ofthe country was cougeniai to his feelings, and he enjoyed the rude hospitality of the sincere hearted for resters.
 He used to toll. with much apparent pleansre, of a dinner he enjoyed with particular satisfaction. Hc was, preaching on one occasion in cabin. which was at once church and dwell ing. The people were lisfsging with seriousness and with attention to tle truths of the Gospel, when in the very midst of his sermon, his host, who sat near the door, suddenly snatched the gun from it's wooden brackets upon which it lay against the joist, went hastily out, fired it of, and retur- ming, put the gun in it's place and quiet ly seated himself to hear the remainder of the sermon. 8fls8ifs ss, s The whole affair had hardly consum- cd as much time as it requires to read this account off and in . averry. few moments all was going on as smoothly as if no Interruption had occurred. After service was ended, Bascom in- quircd of the man the maanins of this strange conduct. ssa.s .t4oes 5fs' "Sir,n said .he,l five are entirely out ofmeat, and was perplcxcd to know what we should give you for dinner, and it was preventing me from enjoy. ing the sermon when the Good One sent a fockof wild turkeys this way !; happened to sec them, took my gun and killed two at shot; my mind felt easy, and enjoyed the remainder ofthe sermon withperfect satisfaction.p
