And surely Mr. Hayes, if none other
of the eonspirators is now under the
cruel lashings of his pal, realizes the
awful truth hidden in the apparently
innocent lines quoted above. What,
would he not barter for the privilege of
hurting an honest snathemA at the head

demand trial or resign. No other
honorable course is open. However,

Yankee Trading.

A certain farmer, who in the course
of Il year purchased a hundred dollars
worth of goods land always paid for
them,) called at the store of village
merchant, his regular place of dealing,
with two dozen brooms, which he offer
ed for sale. The merchant, (whO, by
the way is fond of good bargain,) ex-
amined his stock and said,
"Well, Cyrus, will give you a shil-
ling apiece for these brooms."
Cyrus appeared astonished at the
offer, and quickly replied:
go no, John, l can't begin to take
that for 'em, no how; but I'll let you
have 'em for twenty cents apiece, and
not cent less.
"Cyrus, are you crazy 2" replied John
"Why, see here" showing fine lot OF
brooms, sis an article great deal bet
ter than yours" (which was true) "that
| am retailing at twelve and a-halt
cents apiece" (which was not true by
seven and a-half cents.)
"DOn't care for that" answered Cy-
rus "yOur brOoms are cheap enough
but you can't have mine for less than
twenty cents, no how !" and pretending
to be more than half angry, shouldered
his broOms and started for the door.
The merchant, getting a little nerv-
GUS over the probable loss of a good
customer, and fearing he might go t.
another store and never return, said:
"See here, Cyrus, hold while. If ]
give you twenty cents for your brOoms
| suppose you will not object to take
the price of them in goods 2"
''No, don't care if 1 do" replied Cy-
rus.
"Well, them" said the merchant, as
you are an old customer, will allow
you twenty cents apiece for this lot
Let me see,-twenty times twenty-foul
makes just four hundred and eighty
yes, four dollars and eighty cents
What kind of goods will you have
Cyrus ~
We'll, now, John, reckon it DOM
make any difference to you what sort
of goods take, does it ~
so no, not at all, not at ALL" said the
merchant.
"Well, then, as it don't make any
difference to you, will take the amount
in them ERE broOms of yourn, at twelve
and a-half cents apiece! Let me see
four dollars and eighty cents will gel
