An Old Time Teamster,

He was an old teamster, and knew not
only every inch of the road that led to the
distant market town to which we were GO
ing, but every landlord, groom, and bar
keeper on the way. a man of such vast
geographical knowledge, and such extern
sive and interesting acquaintance with
men, became to me most important per-
sonage. When he had amused himself
long enough with stories told to excite my
Imagination, he turned 10 me sharply AID
said:
boy, do YOU ever tell lies ?"
YES, sir" answered, without hesita-
tioni
You do? Then why didn't you lie
when l asked you the question ~
Because L never lie except to please
people, 1 replied.
"Oh! you are one of the story tellers,
are your he said, in tone of severity.
Eyes sir.n
"Well, then, you ought to be flogged.
If had story telling boy would fog it
out of him. Truth, boy always stand by
the truth! 1t was only this time last year
that was carrying load of goods down
the mountain for family the same as
yours, and there was little boy who went
with 1t the same as you are going now. - l
was sure smelt tobacco. Said 1, smell
tobacco He grew red in the face, and 1
charged him with having some in his
pOChtl, he UeCIATeu Ne nRu none, anu L
said, We shall see what will come TO liars
pitied him, for l knew something terri
BILE would happen. A strap broke, and the
horses started on run, and of went the
boy. / atopped them ms soon as I could,
ran back, and picked him up insensihle,
with las handsome a plug of tobacco in his
pocket as you ever saw ;iand the rascal had
stolensit from his grandmother. Always
speak the truth, my boy, always speak the
truth ~ .
And did you steal the tobacco from
him ?n l asked.
No, lad, took it and used it because
knew it would hurt him, and 1 couldn't
bear the thought of exposing him to his
grandmother"
do you think lying is worse than steal
ing >" asked.
THAT is something we can't settle. To-
bacco is very preserving and cleansing 10
the teeth, and l am obliged to use it. Do
you see that little building we are coming
to? That is Shows store and now, if
you are a boy that has any heart-any real
heart-and If you have saved up n few pen
MES, you will go in there and get a stick
of candy for yourself and plug of tobacco
for me. That would be the square thing
for a boy 10 do who stands by the truth,
and wants to do a good turn to a man that
helps him along ~ and he looked me in
the eye so steadily and persuasively that
resistance was impossible, and my poor
little purse went back into my pocket pain
fully empty of that which had seemed like
wealth. Hollands Arthur BonNicaSale.

Mr.. EDITOR = Has it ever been your lot
or pleasure to travel along the d. J.. & w.
r. r., to spend few short hours in a small
but lively place, thickly surrounded with tall
and stately hemlocks, through which you may
perhaps discover some hundred or more men
employed in choping saving and planning !;
and then while on your way perhaps would
meet some twenty-tcams, or more, loaded
with lumber, going to the docks to be ready
for shipping? Well, Mr. Editor, whether it
has ever been your pleasure or not | will
take the liberty of telling you something
about this lively little place, called by very
singular name, but very well known, per-
haps by name, that will read this in your
columns. The very singular place is Sand
CIT. Rather an odd name; is it not. But
let us lool, more at the business of this little
place with very singular name. There are
two stores one kept by Messrs Perkins &
Adams, and the other By Mr. c. Cress, both
doing good business. There is also one
large and commodious Hotel, kept by Mr.
Stephen HALEY, who, | would venture to
say, he viii make every thing happy and
comfortable to all who should favor him with
a call We also have a Doctor Mr. S. Mil
Ter, having large practice and on the go
nearly all the time, and Butcher, Mr. Lewis
Heller, who very kindly furnishes us with all
kinds of meat in due season; and last, but
yet much needed, we have a matchmaker who
will repair all watches, clocks and jewelry, at
short notice, and on reasonable terms. And
now Mr. Ediror viii close for this time,
and save the rest for some future time.
Yours truly,
YANKEE
