on the day of a circus. Some-who know
no better-may say, we can find that in
a company of soldiers massed together
This is not true, as soldiers are picked
men, and are supposed to be solid. When
one sees a mass of people drawn together
from all parts of a neighborhood by a
common excitement, he meets all classes
of Disagreement; the halt, the manned,
as well as the perfect individual He
meets also the grotesque and others who
would almost disgrace Bret Harte S I'm
mOrtalized Heather Chinee." Such is
life and of such is the makeup of life.

John Robinson, of lower Broadkiln,
came into town last week with a load of
tomatoes. intent upon his own business
and watching for no one else. AT the
confluence of Federal street with Front
street, he met a carriage with two ladies
from Georgetown who drove as far to the
right as they could get; these Mr. Rob- |
inson did not see, but his wagon jammed !
the ladies' carriage against the curb |
breaking that wheel and his wagon broke |
the other wheel; but Mr.. Robinson did |
not see any of the disaster and knew |
nothing of it-sO he Said-until he was |
stopped and told of it. His bill will |
probably be more than the load of toma- |
toes.
