A sell Not a sale.

+ Amiable shopkeepers deserve to be
canonized. Here is an illustration Of
the trials to which they are constantly
subjected. One midsummer day, when
Eolus slept, and the thermometer stood
in the ninetes, lady entered store
not thousand miles of. and inquired
for parasols. The obliging proprietor
spread out before her samples Of large
and varied stock.
Have you any Of this shade size
larger y said the lady.
The size was produced.
Il think on the whole prefer the
size smaller
The size smaller was presented.
"Have you any Of this size lighter
shade Of blue n
The required shade was brought out.
Haven't you any Of this kind with
crooked handle ?"
The shade with the crooked handle
appeared.
"Have you any with che crooked
handle not SO heavy ~ said til
lady, and SO continued her In
quiries for every conceivable size, shade
andweight possible in the line Of para
soils.
After nearly an hour had been con-
stunned, the fair shopper gathered up her
handkerchief and gloves, and moved for
the door.
Cant sell you parasol?" inquired
the exhausted proprietor.
"Oh, dear, no." replied the lady, II
was merely inquiring the prices. ! am
going into mourning myself, and have
one for SALE"

HIS SHARE AND NINE.


He went from me 70 softly and so soon.
His sweet hands rest at morningandat
noon,
The only task God gave them was to
A few faint rose buds--and be white
and cold.
His share Of thorns he left--and If they
tear
My hands instead Of his, | do not care.
His sweet eyes were 50 clear and lovely,
To look ir the worlds wild light and
shut.
Down in the dust they have their share
Of sleep
Their share Of tears is left for me to
weep
His sweet mouth had its share Of kiss
es--Oh
What love, what anguish, will be ever
know
Its share Of thirst, and murmuring, and
moan.
And cries unsstisfied shall be my own
He had his share Of thirst, and murmur-
ing, and moan
And cries unsatisfied shall be my own.
He had his share Of summer. Bird and
dew
Were he with him--with him they van
ished too.
His share Of dying leaves and rains and
frost.
l take with every dreary thing he lost.
The phantem Of tho cloud hs did not
see
Forevermore shall shadow me.
He, in return, with small, still, snowy
feet.
Touched the Dim Path, and made its
Twilight sweet.

An article communicated to the
Mt. Union Times on the "Bench
and Bar of Huntington County,
makes the following interesting
reference to the custom of the mem
bers Of the bar, years ago, Of trav-
cling on horseback from one court
to another. 1t also refers to the
old Lawyers Road" through the
county:
"The counties of Bedford, Frank
lin and Huntingdon having then
recently been made out of parts of
Cumberland, and Cumberland it
self out of Lancaster, the lawyers
followed up the courts in the new
counties; and hence we have as the
first practicing attorneys in Hunt
ingdon, Charles Smith, of Lancas-
ter; James Hamilton and Thomas
Duncan, of Carlisle; Jared Inger-
sol, Attorney General, and others
from Philadelphia, and q little
later James Riddle, James Orbi-
son, and others from Chambers
burg. And these continued to
come here, and they held prom
inent position at the bar OF this
county for many succeeding years.
"It will no doubt strike your
mind that such a practice would
involve much labor and travel in
those days when it would require
about week to come here from
Philadelphia on horseback half
the length oftime from Harrisburg
and two days from Chambersburg,
for railroads and canals were not
then dreamed of, and turnpikes
had not been constructed to the old
Standing Stone. Within the last
twenty years the writer Of this
travelled partiallygrown up path
ON the Cumberland Valley side of
the Kittattinny or North Noun
tain, which was known as the
lawyers road, leading from Cham
bersburg to Huntingdon. 1t had
been laid out and opened for the
accommodation of the attorneys
who travelled from Carlisle and
Chambersbnrg to the courts of
Huntingdon and Bedford, and
back again to their homes. And,
no doubt, many of the older Hunt
ingdon lawyers frequently trav-
eled this road. But from non-use
and according to the laws of ma
ture. this road or path has disap-
peared, and would now be as diff
cult to find as some OF the veterans
who travelled it when in the prime
of life and health. 1t Was impor-
tant to them because ii cut off
several miles of travel by the ordi-
nary wagon road but it was mar
row and steep, and could only be
Travelled by persons on horseback,
and good horses at that.

I A GANG or HIGHWAY Romans
BRoKEN UP.-A few days since, a
young gentleman by the name Of
Hawkins was assaulted by negroes
on the Princess Anne road,
knocked down and robbed. The
highwaymen escaped at the time,
but on yesterday five of them were
arrested and locked up in the
station-house until they can be
transferred to the jail in
Portsmouth. Their headquarters
is known as Horse Heaven
beyond the toll bridge on the
Princess Anne road. This place
was perfect rendezvous for the
gang, which is supposed to consist
of not less than twenty-five or
thirty members. It was supplied
with a quantity of food and arms,
and its existence was unknown to
the neighbors. 1t is located in an
almost impenetrable thicket; and
the gang doubtless thought that it
was safe from molestation.
Several of them are old offenders,
and some showed evidences of
having lately been raiding. The
officers were assisted in guarding
their prisoners, going and return
ing, by squad Of eight or ten
negroes, who appeared to be very
anxious that the whole gang
should be captured. Norfolk

THE MYSTERY KNOWN.
The Mother Owns the Baby, and

The Mother Owns the Baby, and
Tells the Fathers Name.
As will be remembered by our readers
we published a short time ago the facts
Of Mr.. Robert II. Payne having been
presented with beautiful boy baby, by
some one in disguise. As was to be ex.
pccted this occurrence created considers
bic excitement in that. neighborhood and
efforts were made to find the mother.
Suspicion having rested on innocent par.
ties, increased the energies and diligence
Of the friends Of the innocent TO have the
guilt settled on the proper one. On last
Friday Miss Emanda Earnest "ownoa
up as being the mother Of thu Child
and demanded it Of Mr.. Payne who
reluctantly gave up the little fellow
to whom he had already become 30 much
attached. A young gentleman Of Greene
county who stands high in the estimation
of bis friends and acquaintance is said by
Amanda to be the father.
As the facts are row known we sup
pose everything will be quiet in the
neighborhood of Washington College for
the present. We hope u friends in
that vicinity will keep US posted on all
local topics and We will aid them in lct>
ting the world know that we live in a
