Ill-Mannered City Chaps.

One morning last spring, as / stood at the
table with my sleeves rolled up and my big
apron on, washing dishes, heard some one at
the gate scream, Halloo, the house," and,
thinking by the noise that was made that per-
haps life and death were in the balance, l ran
to the door in all haste, and there sat a man in
his buggy, as contentcd as could bc. He asked
if we hid any fat hogs to sell; and, the men
being all away, told him we had none He
drove on as calm az you please. In q day or
two, as was doing up my work in the morn
ing, heard another hsllooing at the gate
paid no attention until the call was made three
! times, and then, in desperation, went TO the
door. There sat man on his horse, with the
patience of Job, and he wanted to know Il we
had any fat cattle to sell told HIM No, sir, y
and closed the door with the firm determination
never to pay the least attention TO any one call
ing from the road again. 1t was perhaps
month from that time, when the house was all
torn up in the spring cleaning, and was irving
my best to get II straight again, that heard
another voice, "Halloo in in there, halo! /
say, is there any one at home?" And, thinking
that perhaps all my friends were dying, and
had sent this man to tell me was wanted,
went again TO the door, and there at the gate
sat man on his horse, as calm as a summers
day, AID he asked il we wanted to hire man.
II was town boy, or man. and he was follow
ing in his fathers footsteps. Wasn't l just
provoked then = i said "No, sir; IL he did,
he wanted some one to wait on him, not man
who would have to be waited on" and then
closed the door, determined never to open il
again az the call OF a strange man. Now, as
coarse and ill-natured as the farmers are con-
sidered as a class, do You think for an instant
one of them would ride up to house in town
and halloo till the lady, thinking her house was
on fire, came to the door, then ask if they mad
fat pig to sell, or some other very polite
question? No. hardly think there is farmer
IN the extent of my acquaintance (if he does
wear overalls and frock the same color az his
face) who would be so ill-mannered as those
poor excuses for men that ride through the
country buying stock of farmers, and too NOR
tai lazy TO get off their horse and go to the door
like gentleman, find if the men are at home.
and make known their business in business
like way Harmonic.

that he will have to cancel his engagements for
Ohio. 1t seems that the campaign in Maine
promises to be very active on all sides, and the
Republicans feel that they are far from being
sure of victory. Another reason that Mr.
Blaine has for not going to Ohio is that Gen
Ewing is his cousin, and there exists between
them a warm personal friendship"
