A LITTLE COURTESY,

The other day gentleman entered
one of the largest stores of this city in
pursuit of an article the price of which
he knew would scarcely exceed the cost
of postage on an ounce letter. The fact
of its insignificance and that it was rarely
called for made it hard to find. One clerk
after another Was enlisted in the search,
till finally they were joined by the pro-
prietor before success crowned their ef-
forts. Somewhat mortified at the amount
of trouble he had caused. the customer
began to apologize, when he was silenced
by the proprietor with, "My friend, it
was no trouble; it was business. We
have experienced full as much pleasure
in finding that for you as you have in re-
ceiving it. If you iusist upon calling this

the place of the iron sheets which ought
to be made in the mills that are now
idle. II the tariff could be equalized,
the mills at Rowlandville and Elkton
would resume work and become once
more centres of employment, and
hence centres of consumption of the
farmers products, and of distribution of
wages wherewith to pay for them.
If the Democrats, by lowering the
tariff on sheet iron shut up the mills at
North East, there will be no more de-
mand there for charcoal, and the many
men now employed in cutting, coaling,
and hauling this material to these works,
will have nothing to do but to cut hoop
poles in the abandoned and nearly
worthless square miles of woodland in
the Necks, and to snare rabbits to keep
themselves from starving.
We have obtained from persons in
teres' ed IN the iron works the following
statement of the wages actually paid in
England for making sheet iron, com
pared with the wages paid at North
East for exactly the same kind of work.
The English wages are taken from the
pay sheets of the Woodtord Iron Works,
Soho, Birmingham, and are given in
United States currency, reckoning the
shilling at "a cents.

Another compliment, true and genuine

his love. The sailor, having delivered
the missive, stood gazing in silent admir-
alton upon the face of the lady, for she
was very beautiful.
