LEARNING YANKEE TRICKS

A letter from Jacksonville, Fla, has the
following:
called On lady the other day who had
some grasshoppers for sale. These pests
grow very large during the Summer. when
the natives catch them in large numbefsr
dry them in the sun and sell them in the
Winter to strangers az ornaments for la.
dies hair. i picked out from this lady's
stock several specimen. that pleased mey
and asked her how much they were.
With gushing smile she said, Seven;
ty-fve cents apiece, but if you take half
dozen I'll let you have them fer four aois
lars and twenty cents / begged siis
would repeat her generous offer, and wher,
she had done SO told her she must havs
mistaken me for very good-hatufed mar,
one who would stand good deal. am
not the owner of those grasshoppers.
On another occasion j requested a cers
tain tiller OF the soil to collect for me SONS
rare Florida bugs and insects After
about weeks absence. this worthy Cinciri.
natus returned with big box in which
there were half-dosen large, gouty ticks:
moving around as stately as bond-hoiders |,
several "tumble-bugs," rolling ever each
other; a few half-starved cockroaches.
melancholy beetle, and several other un.
happy plebeians from the insect world.
1t was a collection that would have made
sad the henrt of any entoinologist. look
ed at them, smiled sickly smile, siid
asked him what he thought they wers
worth. He looked at me, he locked at the
box and putting his hands nto his capa=
ciots pockets. said: "Well just don't
know what you Northern folks will stand"
back. 1 handed him back his box and as-
sured him i did not think he could find
any Northerner who would stand acs
cepting such collection, even a present.

NUMBER II.
BOUND TO SING.

Brother Glover was a pretty biz man n
a certain old Connecticut village. He
would swear little sometimes, but when
he subscribed five hundred dollars toward
rebuilding and reftting the old church,
that special act of charity covered multis
tude of sins.
Brother Glover had big voice. There
was no time, tone or tune in it. but he bels
lowed as he pleased in church singing;
when the new church was finished it had
TO be dedicated, and a choir was carefully
trained to do the singing. Brother Glover
was not one of the choir, and the intention
was to rule him out of the vocal exercises,
The choir had carefully rehearsed new
dedicatory hymn, and everything was rea.
dy for the interesting ceremonies. The
church was crowded, and Brother Glover
was in his place in a front pew, as large ss
life. The new piece was struck up, and
Brother Glover's voice rose loud above the
organ. There was a pause. The organ
and choir were mute and the latter mad.
The minister looking at fly on the ceiling,
explained that it was a new piece which
the choir alone had practiced, and res
quested the congregation no to join in the
singing.
The piece was recommended, and again
Brother Glover's big voice broke it up.
The preacher then fixed his eyes on Brother
Glover and requested him to keep silent
during the performance of the new piece,
which he di l not understand, and Brother
Glover, looking at his beloved pastor
with his big round eyes, replied in big
voice.
"Look-a-herc, Mr.. Barnhart, 1 paid FIVE
hundred dollars towards repairing this
darned old gospel box and by thunder /
will sing"
The preacher gave up, and SO cid the
choir.
