On a hright,pleas ant morning, accordingly, our hero visits the store, where Mr. Lummocks, the bummer, receives him with open arms, and introduces him to his employer.— But the man may tell his own story ; He shook me heartily by the hand, and said he was really delighted to see me. Ile asked me how the times were, and off_eyed a cigar, which I took, for fear of giving offence,but which I threw away the very first opportunity I got. " Buy for cash, or on time ?" I was a little startled at the question, it was so abrupt, but I replied : EMI 10.30 n. m 5.30 noou " For cash." "Would you like to look at some prints major ?" he inquired. am much obliged to you," I replied; " I ani very fund or seeing. prints." With that he ommenced turning over ' one piece after another with amazing rapidity. " There, major—very desirable article —splendid style—orilz two and-six ; Clreiiiiiit sTn — si ET-7s tree Before I: could wake any reply, or even guess at his meaning, he was called away, and Mr. Luraniocks stepped up and supplied his place. " You had .better buy 'em, colonel," said Mr. Lummocks ; " they will sell like hot cakes. Did you say you bought for cash ?" IKE He took a memorandum out of his pocket, and looked in it for a moment. "Let—rne—see," said he; " Fronco, Franco—what did you say your firm was ? Something= and Franco, or Franco and Somebody ? u The name has escaped 7 50 I'. 11.1 45 A. :NI 12 10 P.lll 3 00 P.M 121111 "I have no firm," I rep — li.!cl. "0, you haven't, haint ye? All alone —eh ? But I don't see that I've got your first name down in my 'tickler.' " '• My first name is Harry," said I. " . Itight—yes—l remember," said Mr. Lummocks, making a memorandum ; " and your references, colonel—who did you say were your references ? " I have, no reference," I replied.— " Indeed, I know of no one to whom I could refer, except my father." " What—the old boy in the country —eli ?'' "My father is in the country," I an swered, seriously, not very well pleased to hear my parent called the "obi boy." " Then you have no city references— eh ?" " None at all. I have no friends here, except . yourseA" " Me I" exclaimed Mr. Lummocks, ap parently in great amazement. "0-0 I how much of a bill do you mean to make with us, captain ?" " Perhaps I may buy a vest pattern," I replied, "if• you have got some genteel patterns." • " A vest pattern !" exclaimed Mr. L. "What ! haven't you come down for the purpose of buying goods ?" " No sir," I replied ; " I came to Bos ton to seek for employment, and as you have shown me so many kind attentions, I thought you would be glad to assist me in finding a situation." Mr. .Lummock's countenance under went a very singular change, when I an nounced my reasons for calling on him. " Do you see anything that looks green' in there ?" he asked, pulling down his eyelid with his forefinger. " No sir, I do not," I replied, looking very earnestly into his eye. "Nor in there, either ?" said he, pull. ing open his other eye. "Nothing at all, sir," I replied after a $2,00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE ; $2,50 IF NOT PAID IN ADVANCE. 8 66. woatrg. October Noon. By ITHEEL From a smoky sky the suu looks down, On the quiet trees and the smoky town ; While yellow leaves thick strew the grass, And rustling greet the steps that pass. The year is dying, the summer is dead, And dead the hopes that its warm light fed, A little more sunshine dimmed by smoke ; A little more sighing and the heart is broke Already the winter begin , : its work, Spreading the frost in the silent dark. And the breaking heart though hidden now, IV!h soon be read on the cold, damp brow. The bursting bud and the panting flower, Glowing with life, have had their hour. And fruit, and leaf, have followed fast, And nought remains but ajoyless past. Thus pass away all things of earth, And the spot is lost that gave them birth Hon- vain the trust that cannot rise, To change less joysbeyond the skies. , I .•:`ii“ett a nrottg. Badly Sold.

Written for the Spy. "Regularly sucked—eh,Jack ?" asked a young man who had been listening to our conversation. " Don't mention it," said Mr. ham mocks; the man• is a fool !" An affecting scene took place a few days ago at The police station, which melte.l more than one stern heart to tears. IA yoliegman of most respectable connec tions had been arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and was raving like a manic in his cell, when his aged mother, attired in widow's weeds, entered the station' house, and requested to be allowed an Interview. The request was granted, and she stood face to face with her erring son, the surprise almost sobered him for a moment, and he greeted her with maudlin tenderness, dut the demon of intoxication soon broke forth in fresh ravings. The mother endevored to calm and soothe him, but without avail; his dulled ear was deaf even to the tones of maternal love, and retiring from the cell she sank into a seat while the sobs so long choked down burst forth with pas sionate vehemence for her son—her fall en son, her fond hopes and pride, the prop and stay of her old age for whom she would willingly have laid down her lite. For two hours her uncontrollable agitation had full sway, and then, with an effort at calmness, she departed. It was a scene which none could view without emotion, and spoke in thunder tones of the evils of strong drink. For you: own sake, for your mother's sake, for God's sake spurn the intoxicating cup. It is fraught with ruin to body and soul; it is a liquid fire, distilled dam nation, the strongest weapon of all the devil's potcnt enginers. Dont't:drink. The ruby howl may invited,but there is death iu every sparkle;tears and sighs in every glowing drop. It will deprive you of health,fortune ,reputation and friends; mar your every piospeet,blight your pa 4orrow io the grave, and finally consign you a poor, bloated, disgraced wreck to a pauper's trench in Potter's Field. Boys, don't drink.— Richmond Enquirer. The elephant is known to be endowed with an exquisite sense of smell. The interior *of its trunk is lined with an im mense olfactory nerve, by which the ani mal is able to detect the faintest odors at a distance. The large elephant at the Jardin des Plantes, Paris, was as usual occupied os Wednesday in taking up with that 'appendage the pieces of bread and cakes offered to him by the public, when all of a sudden he drew in his trunk, and continued to follow along the railings of his inclosure with evident pleasure, a lady who was carrying in her hand a boquet of orange flowers. That person having remarked the movements of . the elephant, held the boquet within its reach, and the animal immediately seized the flowers, and after inspiring with great avidity the perfume for a few moments, again put forth its trunk and restored the boquet to the lady. To the elephant the orange flower is the most delicious:of all odors, and travelers state that those animals may be frequently seen to bury their trunks in the foliage of those trees to enjoy the perfume. ‘‘NOTEEING TO WE.I-11.''-A profes- sional gentleman in Nev: York, who, it is said.
