A tramp sauntcred into a bar-room on
Washington street, and, after looking at
the place, went upto a quartcttc OF gentle,
men and began to relate IL c~ock-and-bull
story of his past life. Noticing the
derision on the faces of the auditors, he
continued: "That's right; don't blicvc
me, do you' That's right; laugh away
at a Teller"
look here, my man," said one of the
parties addressed, "who can help laugh
ing at your improbable story? What do
YOU tell such Il mess of lies for? Why
don't YOU tell the truth?'

friend, l tell that story to make you
laugh. l tell that tale" and the chap
closed one eye, "for the purpose of rails
ing a smile" The hint was not UNDECIDED,
and the man adjourned to the next liquor
shop to try the same game. He must
have been successful, for a policeman was
seen soon aftcrward carrying the dry
humorist to the lookup. Boston Courier.

The Rev. Hugh Mccormick has closed the
stipulated year in the passionate Of the Baptist
church in this place, and gone to be a teacher
in an Institution Of learning at Marion. Ala
bama The membership of the church here and
the general public have been well pleased with
his sermons. The church gave him very graft
lying reception Cat the close of the year, which
was nuner0uSly attended. and at which he was
presented by Rev. Mr.. Sueett i'm appropriate re-
marks, with twenty-five silver dollars. His
reply was felicitOus and fitting. The Sunday
following the reception, the reverend gentle
man preached his last sermon to a large con-
gregatlOn. In several churches the congrega-
lions were dismissed, and pastors and people
attended the Baptist church and heard an ex-
cetlent discourse.
The Rev. MI. Jordan, of the Congregational
church. has returned from six weeks vaea-
ton. During his absence several persons have
rendered services in the church: but this has
been done chiefly by the Rev. B. W. Pond. and.

Trick of the Trade.

Their method is to lay aside pair OF shoes to
which some trivial objection has been made and
bring forth others. which are tried on without
success Then the salesperson suddenly re-

rived a case Of sample shoes which have not
yet been put upon the market. After few
moments spent in another part OF the establish

pair OF shoes condemned. done up In an elegant
box, which is unwrapped with due ceremony
and the shoes held before the customers eyes In
away that is both tempting and convincing

"Ne madam; let me try this on you. All lust

trick work and the customer makes the pur-
chase all unconscious of the fact that she has a
shoe which has probably been in the store for
months, and to which she took exception but a
short time before. IL may be very wicked To
deceive the ladies in tas kind of style bur tho
