and had to be transported thousands
of miles. A luxury is something that
is hard to get and thus expensive.
The huckleberry, here, is therefore
not luxury, and many people turn
up their noses at hucklebrry pie or
pudding, because it is cheap, because
it is common through plentifulness,
and because it grows on the waste
lands the wilderness the
sandy plains and by the roadside.
There are places where it is not SO
plenteous where it can not be OBJ
tanned for the nero picking. Conss-
quently it becomes luxury in those
places, and they clamor for the lus-
cious huckleberry pie and pudding.
The children cry for it; the men
howl for it the ladies adore it, and
consequently there is great demand
for the berry, and large quantities of
them are shipped from Alpena to sup
ply the multitudes bowling for buckle
berry pie and pudding.
Wondering what amount was ship

inquiries at the three steamboat off,

could not tell VS. exactly tho amount
of huckleberries shipped, as among
the shipments were many bushels Of
blackberries, but then some people
like blackberry pie and pudding for n
change, and thus in our discourse we
shall treat the entire shipment as if
they were all huckleberries. An ex-
animation of the shipping books in
