The Book Agent. it

A writer in the Buffalo Express hits
off the peculiarities of the peripatetic
book agent very cleverly, thus:
He was a man of middle age, mild
manners, and benevolent aspect, and
withal one of the most eminently amiable
and unconscious of bores. In his least
.disagreeable phase, one of his visitatiens
minor annoyance of east winds and
smoky chimneys or toothache ; but he.
was to TRANQUILITY self-satisfied to find
that out, without aid, and so for years he
travelled from house to house, as uncon-
.seiously obtrusive and unintentionally
offensive as the measles OF some other
mild epidemic He was blandly inn
perturbable variety of "the pestiience
that walketh at MONDAY" and rude or
ungracious welcome, wouldn' diseoncert
him any more than it would brass
mounted revenue assessor.
This mollusk started in life as a ped
dler of salve, and descended, by easy
gradations, through the stoye-damper,
window catch, washing fluid and stencil
plate eras that diVercffy the downward
career of most itinerant venders. Those
pursuits were doubtless eminently cal
culated to bring his literary taste, to a
high state OF cultivation; but unhappily
he had quite neglected to profit by his
opportunities. His utter and contcnted
ignorance of literature naturally sug-
gested the splendid possibilities that
awaited him in the book trade; so when
he found the stencil business too bewil-
dering to his intellect, he calmly and con-
f1dent1y dropped into book canvassing.
He was not first-rate judge of authors,
and his literary discrimination seldom
strayed beyond the picture, and binding
without being ingloriously swamped.
A flavor of the old salve and washing
fluid was always perceptible in his dis
eussion of books and authors. / used to
experience a melancholy pleasure in per-
suading him to deseant on the merits of
Shakespeare's Black Crook, or Munchau-
sens Dictionary, or Dickens on Log
arithms, or r. w. Emerson's Nursery
Tales. He could expatiate on those
works, or any others that 1 recklessly
suggested, just as lucid1y and elightfully
as he could ON those for which he was
canvassing; more so, indeed, for he felt
more fancy free' when there were no
books around. ....e.rr
1 suppose it was his invincible and re-
morseless assiduity that enabled him to

subdue his victims. He had a way of
pouring himself out, in a ceaseless wish
wash of prepared platitudes and conned
twaddle, capable, I verify believe, of
wearying a bronze statue of William
Pitt into the purchase of Abbott's Ma
poleon. tlAnd the more summer it took,
the better he. liked to fight it out on that
line. I once tried to battle him by pas
sive endurance, but IN the sixth hour of
his Grafton, his enjoyment of its super
human -eloquence had become so keen
that had to subscribe for an extra copy
before he would consent to stop. That
ignominious failure of the Fabian policy
sealed my doom. L never recovered an
atom of confidence in my ability to stem
the tide of his tireless sloquaeity, and
thereafter, he saw in me only a reliable
market for subscription literature. ~ =
4 He overwhelmed me with volume after
volume of pictorial imbecility and pathos
in gilt binding. My small capital was
gradually absorbed by the ruinous accu-
mutation of NAPOLEON and His Mar
shals, ]" everybody else and his Marshals,
dents, Family Bibles with caricatures,
wretched parodies on Human History,
solemn burlesques of the Patriarchs, and
other illustrated and absurd trumpery
imposed upon me by that remorseless
agent. My family was allysreduced
to the verge of want by the Vampires s
repeated drafts upon me. u i tried in vain
to raise a little money out of my books.
The. constable even refused to levy on
them for a grocer's bill, and returned the
execution unsatisfied, because a man.

to git in no trap" E. -, -, So.

.. There is always something. winning
and graceful about we1l-turned compli-
ment, that makes its way to the heart.
This is specially the ease with ladies.
The dear creatures can no more resist
the incense of flattery than they can
exist in an atmosphere devoid of fashion
and coquetry. This trait, somewhat pc
cu1iar to the sex, was noticeably Illus
'trated a few days since by an incident
occurring at the fete champetre. An en-
terprising pickpoeket had abstracted a
port-monnaie containing quite a sum of
money from philanthrophic spinster.
She was faded and painted, and on the
shady side of forty. Yet her Affected
graces would have done honor. to a
schoolgirl of ten. She detected the man
in the act, and turned upon him with an
indignation rancid with the disappointed
longings of years. The robber perceived
the expression of her face, and with an
intuitive knowledge of character, said
gracefully. -
''I beg pardon, madam !; but abstract
ed this as the only memento could Law

The lady was taken aback. Her sense
of hattery, however, after a moment got
the better of her judgment, and she

Healing the Wounds ofWar.

= The worst wounds inflicted inafrater-
nal contest are not those that kill or
MAIN the soldiers. In the former case
every thing possible is done to compen-
safe for the calamity. The fallen 3hero's
grave is dressed with insnortelles, while
his widow is pensioned and his children
fed, clothed and educated. Where the
wounds are not mortal, we try to- patch
up the crippled soldier with cork legs,
patent crutches, rubber arms, glass eyes,
and other artificial aids, and then console
him with nice farm and a ife-timeI Is
annuity. While these things are no real
compensation for the loss of life or limb,
they serve to supply wants and alleviate
misery. s. i'ss p isass3@ Sis'3 90 Ssft +
But there are other wounds inflicted
by war, especially civil war, that seem
the destroyer of life and property but the
most demoralizing of all agencies. Our
four years of strife have entailed upon
the whole country a host of moral evils
that it will take whole generations to
eradicate. We saved the nations life,
but at an expense which all the wealth
of the world cannot compensate Look
at the columns of an enterprising daily
paper, and you shall find large space
devoted to the horrid and sickening de-
tails of some fearful and unnatural
crime. We do not mean to say that
there. was no crime before the war, but
that its demorallzing influence Ehas in
creased the number and intensified the
character OF these bloody deeds. Human
nature shrinks from the Contemplation
of such internal acts as were before IN
known, at least in our country. sszs.s5,s
But worse than murder, rape and rob
berry has been the influence of the war
upon the moral sense of the whole
ulation and defalcation-in plain Ian
guage stealing-have become the COM
mon crimes of the day. In. every de-
partment of the government, and among
all grades of officials, the spirit of ras-
cality seems contagious and rampant.
The little rogues who steal by hundreds
or. thousands, are caught and punished,
while the full grown scoundrels who
suck the nations hfe-blood to the tune
of millions, flaunt their stolen glories in
all public places, defy scrutiny, battle
investigation, bully the. governments, and
finally go "unwhipped of Justice" 81.
By what moral surgery shall these
terrible wounds be healed? The healing
process must commence just where the
wound was first inflicted. The presence
of war and fraternal strife impaired the
moral sense of individuals, Ioosened the
bonds of moral responsibility, destroyed
the sanctity of oaths, and undermined
the foundations of personal integrity.
This mischief can only be repaired by
the work of at least one generation.
Parents, especially mothers, with all
faithful teachers and preachers, as well
as all moral agencies that can be brought
to bear, must be in action for half cen-
tury to undo the evil caused by two or
three years of strife.-St. Louis Journal
Of Commerce.. 's.-

to conical point or split to an angle or
natural point, and when sufficient power

The glazier's. diamond is, generally a
rough stone, not cut in anyway. but so
placed in its setting that it can be drawn

its angles. This property of cutting glass
depends upon the peculiar crystalllzed

ally known as diamond sparks, the
rounded edges of (which will alone cut
glass, the points merely scratchlng the
surface. This fact was proved some years
ago byr DIR. Wollaston, who found that
by grinding the spinal ruby rock crys-
tails, and topaz, so as to obtain similar
outline to the diamond, either of them
would cut glass as readilysas the more

suits by making the edges of the stones

rounding the adjacent faces. He sue
ceeded in treating fragment of flint in
a similar manner, but, although the flint
would Certainly cut glass, it was found,
like the other stones mentioned, to be too
soft to be of any, permanent utility; in
deed, the diamond itself rapidly wears
out when much glass cutting is done
the convex edges becoming concave, and
the stone loses its power. IS 5s4 g
