A HUCKsTER OUTDoNE.- down in
the smart village Of Cincinnati, there vege.
tates certain hotel keeper, who, for cuteness,
is "some," you may depend. Having been
frequently imposed upon while supplying his
bountiful larder with the article Of geese, by
the wide awake Buckeye" hucksters he
deemed it high time to try if cheating wasn't
game that two could play at. So one morn
ing, bright and early, he presented himself
before one of the numerous farmers wagons

"W-w-well, l don't know but might find
one or two," and so turning over his pile of
poultry, he collects on one side of his wagon
some eight or ten geese, whose claim to the IT,
tie of "old he-fellers" needed no corroborative
proof of "Nootka Sound Convention" or
Treaty of Florida" but might justly be
pronounced "clear and unquestionable."
"Mine host" eyed the progress of separa-
ton with evident satisfaction.

MAIN,T GOT NO NAILS

We invite the lovers of fun to join US in
the hearty laugh we are Just now having over
the story, told by one of our Northern con-
temporaries, of tall, gawky looking coun-
tryman, who, during the height Of the busi-
ness season last fall, walked into one of the
largest wholesale dry good houses on Broad
way, and entirely disregarding the invita-
tions of the numerous salesmen to inspect the
latest patterns strode into the counting-room,
where the heads of the establishment were
sitting in close conversation. After taking a
cursory glance of the room, and surveying at
tentively the faces Of the occupants he asked
with an unctous Yankee nasal twang:
"Ssy, yeou-got any nails?''
"Nails, sir, nails p repeated the most dig
ni6ed Dombey of the firm. "No, sir, what
should we do with nails ?"
"Wal, I dunno-thought maybe you
mought. Haint you got no nails, eh =
"No, sir" replied Dombey again, with an
emphasis, motioning to the door.
The individual in search of nails took his
time about it, and then left the counting
room. In turn, he asked every clerk the
same question, and received the information
from all, that mails" formed no part of the
stock of the establishment.
swell" said he, going towards the door,
"dun't keep nails here, no how !"
The princi pal salesman, whose dignity was
hurt by the idea that any one should sup
pose that an establishment where he had 8
prominent place, should keep nails, headed
the countryman off as he was proceeding to-
wards the entrance, and asked him abruptly
what he wanted.
"Want" said the countrymap as cool as 6
cucumber, 81 want to know if you've go

A STUBBORN STRIPPING.

"Once upon time" a big, strapping, awk-
ward youth, fresh from Vermont, entered the
Dummer Academy at Bayfield,, Mass, for a
little share of eruditon, which is doled out
at this Temple of Minerva at economical
prices. At that time-we know not how it
is at present-the boys and girls were kept
in one apartment, only the middle aisle sepa-
rating them. One day, this Vermont strip.
ling, who had just been helping one of the
girls through hard sum-he was cute on
cyphering-thought it nothing more than
fair that he should take toll for his valuable
services; accordingly he threw his stalwart
arm around the rosy damsel and gave her a
sly but rousing smack which startled the
whole assembly. "Jeredith Tower, come up
here!" roared the preceptor.
The delinquent appeared, his face glowing
with bushes like red-hot warming pan,-
and looking as silly as ninny. "Hold out
your hand, sir !" said the pedagogue "Ill

The huge paw was extended in a horizon.

its broad surface with mathematical eye,
calculating how many strokes of his small
ferule it would take to cover the large num-

"Jeredith," at length he said, "this is the
first time that you have been called up for
any delinquency now, sir, if you will say
that you are sorry for what you have done, 1
will let you off this time without punish
ment"
Sorry" exclaimed the youngster, striking

DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.

Come, boys, I have something to tell you,
Come near, VIC uld whisper it low
You are thinking - leaving the homestead,
Don't be in a hu y to go.
The city has many ,.ttractions,
But think Of the vices and sins;
When once in the vortex Of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia
They've wealth in gold without doubt;
But, ah! there is gold on the farm, boys,
If you'll only shovel it out;
The mercantile life is hazard,
The goods are first high and then low;
Better risk the old farm while longer,
Don't be in hurry to 90.
The great. busy West has inducements,
And so has the busiest mart,
But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Don't be in hurry to start.
The bankers and brokers are wealthy,
They take in their thousands or so;
All think of the frauds and deception,
Don't be in hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You're free as the air Of the mountains,
And monarch of all you survey.
Better stay on the farm while longer,
Though profit comes-in rather slow,
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in a hurry to go

PASSENGER CARS FOR BIRDs.-Ac ccording
to writer in scientific paper, the small
birds that are unable to fly the hundred and
fifty miles across the Mediterranean Sea are
carried over on the backs of cranes.
In the autumn, many focks of cranes may
be seen flying from the north toward the AT:
rican coast. Little birds fly up to them and
perch upon the backs of the cranes, and are
thus borne across the sea to warmer climate
The cranes do not seem to mind carrying q
load of birds, for they are strong of wing.
