SQUELCHING A PEDDLER.

SQUELCHING A PEDDLER.
Goodness gracious (! If there
ant that pesky tin peddler again
l declare, he'll worry the very life
out of me! He ouSht'r -know't l
don't want anything %
So exclaimed Aunt Betsy, as she
looked out frou her window, an d
saw the inevitable-the thus FIR ir-
repressible-tin peldler who had
aforetime SO pertinaciously, and
sometimes almost impudently,
bored her. She had told him that
she wished he would not call, and
in reply he had intimated that by
virtue OF his license he had a right
to call as often as he pleased.
Bat, even as the peddler des-
cended from his cart, a change came
over the countenance of Aunt Bet
sy. Her eye frightened and spark
led behind her silver-bound spect-
acles her lips, at first tightly COM
pressed. parted with a significant
smile and with o suggestive nod
she laid aside her knitting, and
arose to answer the peddlers LOUD
knock at the door. The bantering
nomad smiled blandly as he asked
Anything in my line to-day,
ma ann
"Well, 1 declare for it,-seein
you've come-have you got any first
rate tin kitchens ?"
Eyes, ma'am !" And away went
the peddler to his cart. nodding
and chucckling, evidently with the
idea that bis perseverance was at
length to be rewarded and he
,on returned with three differ
elt s zes of the article mentioLe1 /,
which he deposited upon the en.ry
floor.
Have you got any real good first
chop, 'sizable milk-pans p WAS Aunt
Betsy's next query, put in a man
ner most winning and bland.
And away went the peddler, ;nl
brought from MS cart an armful
of tin pans.
Aunt Betsy next asked if he had
tin pulls and next, if he had wash
boilers and SO she went on until
full one half the peddlers load had
uecn transferred from the cart 70
tAc house At length there was Il
pause, for Aunt Betsy seemed to
have exhausted the vocabulary o;
lousehol.i tins and the pedt lei
.lsied, =
is there anything more You

Our good Aunt looked up i'll sur
plise.
"Why-blcss your soul /. you
didn't suppose l wanted any of this
-tilf, did you ? I only asksd If you
badem. Mercy, l don't want any
# 'em-not Il solitary article !"
The hitherto irrepressible was e.
fectually squelched. He tried to
get mad, but Aunt Betsys benig-
nant f..ce ripplcd with a smile so
quiet and SO self-satisfied, that he
held his temper. He did the mex
best thing, however He ie1olved
thencetorth to give that house the
go-by when his wanderings might
chance in that direction ; and, to
Aunt Betsy's great satisfaction, the
resolve has thus far been adhered
to. S. c., JR.

The occupation of Rome by the
infidels had the effect of destroying
IA very valuable branch of business
formerly carried on by the cures of
the parish churches. All parishion-
ers were legally bound to confess
and receive the communion at least
once a year, at Easter. If they
tailed of this duty, they were liable

cordil gly, there was an open trade
carried on in certificates OF COM
mumon, by buying one of which the
purchaser established his reputa-
ton A. g good Catholic, and avoid
81 the trouble of trying to recol-

solution for the same. Now that
there IS no penalty attached to this
delinquency, excepting such as will
DC administered in the world to
come, me number Of these ilnpeni-
tent sinners is SO great that the list
OF Their names is not aft xed to the
doors of the churches, as formerly,
because of its intolerable length.
The cures still visit the houses oil

beds and other furniture, sprinkling
them with holy water but very

What is commerce? An editor answers
this question in the following simple
words Commerce is merely reciprocal

diastole Of the industrial heart of the

Great complaint comes from the West
about Anna Dickinson. One report says
that she was so engrossed with young

since, that next morning she oversight her.

An Elmira farmer wrote MIR. Greeley
for his experience in raising geese for
market. Horace said there was no trou-
bic at all about it, if the goslings were
not weaned too young. He says they
should be allowed to run with the old COW
and suck at will until their horns get out
an inch or two, when they will be hardy
enough to pick and salt down for market.
This horse story, from Wabash, Ind, is
coolly imposed by the local paper on an
unsuspicious public "a horse owned in
this city is possessed of undeveloped talent
which, If properly trained, would make
him the pride of the arena. He not only
releases himself from the stable without
any difficulty, but not long since went to
pump, and taking the handle between
his teeth, began pumping water. There
being no trough or bucket at the well, he
was unable to supply himself with the
beverage, and after minutes deliberation,
presented himself at the front door, and
pulling the bell-rcpe with his teeth, re-
quested the loan of bucket"
A woman whs is in "a state of mind"
over the question of ruffles or puffs, writes
to the Citizen and Round Table thus
"The triumph which woman feels on

homage, or when she is the delight of

beings hearts, is but rush-light, a far
thing-dip, to the lambert lamp filled
with the purest astral oil, gorgeous

compared with the ravishing rush Of salts
faction and complacency and pure joy
which feeds her noble soul when every
woman in the room is green with envy Of
her. The utter earthiness Of mans gross
nature may probably prevent his appre-
citation of this exalted sensation, this
TRANSPORTATION which takes place in the
female bosom at intervals; but most
women know it and feel it, and, in fact,
know how it is myself"
