DURING LEISURE HOURS.
A firm of nurserymen at Rochester
writes U3 as follows :
" During leisure hours, could you
take hold and represent us ?" Certain
ly, gentlemen, and we will jump at the
chance. You have our most hearty
thanks for throwing in our way this
golden opportunity to prevent time
from hanging heavily on our hands,
and to enable us to get rich suddenly,
by peddling fruit trees, grape vines,
shrubbery, and bulbs through the
county. Not only this, but such cm
ployment would give us much needed
exercise. We could walk through all
the thorough fares of the county, as
well as the hedges and by ways, seek
ing for customers, and after walking
into their premises, we would, no
doubt, run out in an involuntary sort
of a way, to evade the watchfulness of
the bull-dog trained to extend a hearty
welcome to tree agents and other
peddlers ; and also to prevent damage
to the southern portion of our only
pair of pantaloons. We say walk, be
cause we have no horse, and could
not afford to buy a bicycle until after
the returns of our first week's sales
come in. Just as soon as we get on
the bicycle, our family will stand a
very fair chance to get the benefit of
our life insurance.
Farmers in this section enjoy visits
from tree agents. They sit on their
front porches day after day, watching
for them. If the dog is not vicious
enough, the shot gun stands in a handy
spot behind the door. By the vay,
gentlemen, do you supply your agents
with bullet-proof clothes ? " If so, send
on a complete outfit, including one
pair of leather seated pants.
For fear that selling nursery stock
will not occupy all of our numerous
" leisure hours " we would like to adJ
a few more lines to handle with your
goods. If you know any people who
deal in lightning rods, patent churns,
hog troughs, gates, threshing machines
and gold bricks, please send us their
addresses, so that we can keep reason
ably busy, after the very light-work of
running a printing office is ott our
hands each week. We have nothing
to do now but read exchanges, write
locals and editorials, read proof,
superintend the job department, keep
the books, make collections, solicit
subscriptions and job work, attend to
all correspondence, make contracts
for advertising, bounce people who
come in to thresh us for publishing
what is not true, and get out of the
way of those about whom something
has been printed that is true, (they
are always the most dangerous, be
cause they are the maddest), buy all
the material, handle all the stock that
is used, try lawsuits, and run a church
choir. All the time not employed in
one of these ways, are our " leisure
hours," and we again say that our joy
is unlimited at the thought that there
is a way now open by which those
leisure hours can be profitably spent
By the way, gentlemen, how about
your leisure hours ? " Could not you
take hold and represent us ?" We
will give you a fair commission on all
subscriptions you will secure in Ro
chester, and if you will come down
here, you can canvass the county tor
us on liberal terms. Newspaper men
are safe in this section. Ptople and
bull-docs don't trouble them. Bull
dogs wont bite 'eiu and people won't
pay 'em. If vou want the 10b, write
us for further particulars.
Meanwhile send on your outfit, and
when time ends and eternity begins,
we shall have some " leisure hours,"
unless we get out of the newspaper
business sooner.

WEDDINGS.
On Wednesday evening of last week
at half past six, Miss Armina. daughter
of James T. Farnsworth of Rupert,
was married to Mr. Eugene K. Shultz
of Philadelphia, at the M. E. Church
at Rupert, by Rev. W. H. Hartman,
of Buck Horn. The church was pret
tily decorated with flowers. Miss
Lillian Roberts presided at the organ.
Miss Fanny Farnsworth was Maid of
Honor, Miss Etta Totten of Hazleton,
bridesmaid, and Mr. John K. Ritten
house of Philadelphia, best man. The
bride and bridegroom entered together.
After the ceremony a reception was
held at Mr. Farnsworth's. There were
numerous beautitul presents. Mr.
and Mrs. Shultz went to Philadelphia,
where they will spend the summer.
Miss Maggie, daughter of C. B.
Sterling, and George Verdy of the
firm of Cummings & Verdy, were
united in marriage at the home of the
bride on Thursday, June 87th, at half
past six o'clock. Rev. C. H. Brandt
of the Reformed church, performed
the ceremony. Miss Georgia Palmer
was bridesmaid, and John Sterling
was best man. W. H. Brower and
Charles Sterling performed the duties
of ushers. A few relatives and inti
mate friends were present. Mr. and
Mrs. Verdy went to Philadelphia on
the evening train.
The Sands & Astley shows were
here on Monday, and gave performan
ces to a fair sized audience in the
afternoon, and to a packed tent in
the evening. The performance was
gooJ, veiy good for the low price of
admission, twenty-five cents. J here
was nothing to offend the most fasti
dious in any way. Their bills were
paid promptly and cheerfully, and the
press agent, J. N. Wisner is a pleas
ant gentleman who understands his
business. The show came from Dan
ville to Bloom on Saturday night on
the P. & R. and remained here over
Sunday. The work of erecting the
tents, except such as were absolutely
necessary for shelter, was not done
until early Monday morning.
1 here have been rumors afloat of
certain people losing money in some
games of chance on the ground. We
have heard of several men who are
old enough and intelligent enough to
know better than to try to beat
swindler at his own game, who lo-t
some money on these schemes. They
are entitled to no sympathy, and
ought to be ashamed of themselves.
While the swindlers ought to be stop-
peu from carrying on their gamei
those who patronize them are no bet
ter than they are. Mr. Wisner inlornis
us that these sharpers are in no way
connected with the show.
