SUMNER TRADE IN New YoRK.-A New

noon. Many heavy purchases have been
made by these parties during the present
week, including dry goods, ready:made cloth

just here that these newly established near

deemed quite improbable by the average
country merchant few years ago. City
trade" the leading merchants say, "has been
pretty evenly distributed throughout the
summer months, and the Coney Island hotels,
built chiefly by New York, are the cause
thereof, inasmuch as they have attracted
customers from all parts of the country, who
are discovering now that it is possible to
unite rest and recreation with the ordinary
operations of commerce, and finance, and
speculation. This does away with the old.
time necessity of deferring the fall trade un.

FEAR OF DIsEAsE.-It is said that while
the plague was raging in Buenos Ayres, the
grave diggers bore charmed lives. Z OF the.
three hundred men so employed not one died
of the disease. -.."..'.s esS#st
1t has often been noticed that during the
prevalence of pestilential diseases, physicians,
undertakers, nurses, and grave diggers, whose
business compelled constant liability to infec-
ton, have usually escaped in far greater
ratio than their numbers would warrant.
The "charm" Of immunity from the prevail
ing scourge is very simple. They are not
scared. They are positive to the disease, and
repel it's attacks. Fear is great ally of
death. Whoever is afraid of disease is in
negative condition, and really invites its ap-
proach. ...ss
And thus it is the world over. The brave
die but once, while. towards die many times.
Much unnecessary alarm exists in every
community in regard to many diseases. We
are, it is true, all liable to sickness and death:
But if we are all sober, cleanly, and brave of
heart, we need have no fear of disease Of body

The bottle was passed up, and Alb began
Deacon Aikers-May he live to plant many
patch like this, and may Alb Ashley and
his friends have the honor of harvestin' it
fur 'em.
Hats went round three times, after which
the bottle started, and made a like number of
revolutions.
Now fetch me that pole yonder, till erect
a standard, to show that man has been to
the summit, and then the work will be COM
plete, said Alb.
The pole was broug ght, and after tearing a
strip off an old cotton handkerchief and at
tacbing it to the end of the pole, Alb stuck it
up in the pile of vines, dismounted, and all
started for home. In space Of time truly
incredible, they arrived at Abs residence.
Alb pressed his friends to stay til! morning,
but they would not hear oft. Some pressing
business, of course, prevented and so they
set out, leaving him to snooze off the bad ef-
fects of bad whisky.
Early next morning, Alb Ashley was arous-
ed from his sound slumber by one of his little
sons running to his bed, and calling out:
"Pap, pap, pap! Get up, quick-quicker! !!
Some MS hooked all er-'er water melyons ~.
"What p exclaimed Alb.
"Why, some-some-some'n hooked all 'er
water melyons an-an-an smashed 'em up!'
Alb arose cursing and swearing, vowing
that he'd find some clue by which to identify
the villains, and then they might look out for
rough times. He went to the patch-what a
sight presented itself! Not whole melon,
nor even a vine, was left-all had met a total
destruction. -.
"Where'n thunder and lightning could | a
been last night, that didn't hear the Internal
villains? It's lucky for 'em didn't hear 'em,
or some of 'em'd been dead now. What
could they done with the vines :" said he.
Casting his eyes along the fence, he discov.
cred the vines nicely piled up, like small
hay stack. From the top of the pile stood
pole, with a strip of red flag floating from the
end Of it. Alb started toward it; but before
proceeding many steps, he stopped and began
to think. Something seemed to be coming up
in his mind. At last he muttered to himself,
"Can it all be dream or, did actually do
it" Waiting little longer, be said, mo.
by thunder, it's no dream! Them cussed
boys a been playin' off on me. Blast their
Internal whisky, wish they had it all in their
cussed in'arda, red hot! Mind, I tell you,
I'll be even with 'em, if it takes me a hundred
years from now," and then came volley Of
curses, such as never could appear in print.
He fairly blubbered right out with rage.
1t was, indeed, true-the boys had been
playing off on him-for after getting him
little tight, they had brought him back to his
own melon patch and under the impression,
that it was Deacon Aiker's, he had destroyed
it. 1t is said that Alb Ashley was never
known to assist in the plundering of melon.
