TRUTHFULNESS.

Two country lads came at an early hour
to a market town, and arranging their
little stands, sat down to wait for custom
ers. One was furnished with fruits and
vegetables of the boys own raising, and
the other with CLANS and fish. The mar
ket hours passed along, and each little
merchant saw his store steadily decreasing
and an equivalent in silver bits shining in
his little money cup. The last melon lay
on Harry's stand, when gentleman came
by, and placing his hand upon it, said,
"what fine large melon! What do you
ask for it, my boy?"
1.-The melon is the last have, sir; and
though it looks very fair there is an I'M
sound spot in it." said the boy turning it
over.
$50 there is" said the man; Il think
will not take it" "But," he added, looking
into the boys fine, open countenance, lis
it not very unbusiness-like TO point out the
defects of goods to customers ?"
ut is better than being dishonest, sir,
said the boy modestly.
You are right, little fellow; always
remember that principle, and you will
find favor with God. and man, also;
shall remember your little stand in the
future Are those CLAIMS fresh ?" he con-
tinued, turning to Ben Wilson's stand.
Eyes, sir; fresh this morning. caught
them myself" was the reply, and pur-
chase being made, the gentleman went
away.
Harry, what fool YOU were to show
the gentleman that spot in the melon
Now you can take it home far your pains,
or throw it away. How much wiser is he
about those CLANS l caught yesterday!
Sold them for the same as did the fresh
ones. He would never have looked al
the melon until he had gone away"
ben, would not tell a lie or act one
either for twice what have earned this
morning. Besides, shall be better off in
the end, for l have gained customer. ant
you have lost one"
And SO it proved, for the next day tn
gentleman bought nearly all his fruits an
vegetables Of Harry, but never spen
another penny at the stand Of his neigi
Dor. Thus the season passed; the gentle
man finding he could always buy GOO
article Of Harry, constantly patronize
him, and sometimes talked with him
few minutes about his future prospect
To become merchant was Harry's gre
ambition. and when the winter came OF
the gentleman, wanting trusty boy Il
his warehouse, decided on giving Il
place to Harry. Steadily and surely
advanced in the confidence of his emplo,
er, until, having passed through varior
posts of service, he became an honore
partner in the firm.-Jonrnal Of The Farn

The New ENGLAND KiTcHEy.-The
visitors at the Presbyterian " Socishle +"
last night at the residence Of Mr.. John
Antrim, imagined themselves . thousand
miles from Cairo, somewhere among the
:" hills of New England" and the spects-
tors of a bona dde New England Kitchen
Of ever so many years ago. The old.iash.
toned fire place with its dog.irons," pots,
kettles, Dutch.oven, etc the rag carpet
which covered the floor; tho three cor
nered cupboard with its clancy" and
earthen ware Of the good old
style; the pictures which adorned
the walls; the mirror in which
he good dame Of q hundred years ago
beheld her prim but self.admiring reAec.
ton the spinning wheel; the long string
Of dried apples and pumpkins hung about
the walls; the quilt, framed for quilting,
etc, etc, were, taken together, a v.ritabie
reproduction Of the scene intended to be
represented. The clock which marked
the time Of night In the New England
Kitchen, was a curiosity 10 itself, having
been brought to Illinois, in the states ter.
ritorial days, by Samuel Marshall. A
bed quilt, made before this country had
achieved its independence, by hand, now
many, many years, Wondering into dust,
also attracted much attention.
The supper Of pork and beans, mush
and milk, pumpkin pies, doushnuts, etc,
was well served by the Yankee girl, in
short waists, narrow skirts and high
backed combs. The peddler WAS the
character Of the evening, who drove mis-
trade in true Yankee fashion and took in
large amount of fractional currency 10 ex-
change for his wooden nutmegs, etc. Al
together, the New England kitchen was
success. II occasioned u vast amount Of
sport, and rculizod very satisfactory
sum Of money.
