Iy. rr TiT'imrnot" TIic stagnation of trade has 'occii severely felt by nil business men, and even that en terprising class of fellow-creatures known as "drummers," or traveling salesmen, de spite their almost inexhaustible inventions and resources, have been obliged occasion ally to yield to the pressure of the times. One of these gentlemen, who has re cently returned from a trip for Thistle Bros. & Co., Loston, did not show a very large exhibition of orders to balance the liberol expense account allowed him by the firm ; and Mr. Thistle, after looking over his return said : "Mr. Hataplan, I am afraid you'do not approach the dealer in the right way. I used to be very successful iu this line. Now, just suppose mo to be 3Ir. Biglev, of Sellout, 111., and show me the way you in troduce the house." Accordingly Rataplan stepped out of the counting room, and returned, hat in hand, inquiring : "Is Mr. Rifiler in ?" "That's my name," said Mr. Thistle, urbanely. "My name in Rataplan, sir ; I represent the house of Thistle 13ro3. & Co., of Bos ton. (Thistle in his character of western merchant, here arose and offered the sales man a chair, and expressed a pleasure at seeing him.) I am stopping with Over charge at the Stickem House, and have a fine unspoken lot of samples, which I should like to show you ; I think I can offer you some special advantages, etc." And Mr. Rataplan delivered himself of a neat speech in professional style. "Very well, very well," said Thistle, "I don't see but that you understand the way to rot customers." "Excuse me, Mr. Tnistle," said Rata plan, "I am afraid you do not understand the style of the Western merchants just now. Suppose you change places with me and repeat this rehearsal?"' "Certainly," said Thistle, and picking up his hat he stepped out. Returning he found Rataplan, with his chair tipped back, hat cocked iierecly over his right eye, his heels planted cu Thistle's polished desk, and a lighted cigar between his teeth. Thistle looked a little staggered, but nevertheless commenced : "Is Mr. Rigler in ?'' "Yes, he is." responded Rataplan, blow inir a cloud of pure Connecticut smoke into Thistles C3'es. "Who in are you? "I represent the house of Thistle Pros. & Co." said the astonished employer, coughing out about a quart of sniuke from lils throat. "The blazes you do ! Arc you one of that concern "No, sir, I am uot," said Mr. Thistle. "Well, it's d d luckv vou are not, for I've hud two drummers to one customer in mv store the last two months, and if I could get hold of one of the blasted fools that sent 'e:n out at this time, I'm darned if I wouldn't boot him clean out of the town of Sellout." "That'll do, Mr. Rataplan," said Thistle. "I have no doubt you did the best you could for the interest of the house. Trade is a little dull." Treating the Girls. People have noticed that one of the handsomest voung men in Burlington has suddenly grown bald, and dissipation is attributed as the cause. Ah, no ; he went to a church sociable the other week, took three charming girls out to the refresh ment table, let them eat all they wanted, and then found he had left his pocketbook at home, and a dcat man that he had never seen before at the cashier's desk. The young man, with his face aflame, bent down and said softly : "I am ashamed to say I have no change witu "Hey ! shouted the cashier. "I regret to say," the young man re peated on a little louder key, "that I have unfortunately come away without any change to" "Change two ?" chirped the deaf man, "Oh, yes, I can change a five if you want it." "No," the young man explained in a terrible penetrating whisper, for half a dozen people were crowding up behing him, impatient to pay their bills and get away, "I don't want any change, be cause" "Oh. don't want no change?" the deaf man cried, gleefully. "Blecgcd to ye, 'bleeged to ye. Tain't often we get such generous donations. Puss over your bill." "No, no," the young man exclaimed, "I have no funds" "Oh, yes, plenty of fun," the deaf man replied, growing tired of the converation, and noticing the long line of people waiting with money in their hands , "but I haven't rot time to talk about it now. Please settle and move on." "But," the young man gasped out, "I have no money" "Go Monday ?" queried the deaf cash ier. "I don't care when you go. You must pay, and let these other people come up.". "I have no money !" the mortified young man shouted, ready to sink into the earth, while the people all around him, and especially the three girls he had treated, were giggling and chuckling audibly. "Owe money ?" the cashier said. "Of course you do ; 2.75." "I can't pay !" the youth, screamed, and by turning his pocket inside out and yelling his poverty to the heavens, he finally made the deaf roan understand. Playin And then he had to shriek his full name three times, while his cars fairly rang with the half-stifled laughter that was breaking out around him ; and he had to sceam out where lse worked, and roar when he would pay, and he couldn't get the deaf man to understand him until some of the church members came up to SC3 what the uproar was, and, recognizing their young friend, made it all right with the easl ier. And the young man went out into the night and clubbed himself, and shred his locks away until he was bald jis an egg. Getting Married. Ever' young girl, now-a-days, expects to get a rich husband, and, therefore, rich men ought to be abundant. In the coun try we admit that girls are sometimes brought up with an idea of work, and with a suspicion that each may chance to win a steady, sober, goodlooking, industrious young man, who will he compelled to earn by severe labor the subsistence of himself and family. There are not so many brought up with such ideas now, even in this country, as there used to be ; but there are some, and they, consequently, learn how to become worthy helpmates to such worthy partners. But in town it is different. From the highest to the lowest class in life the prevailing idea with all is that marriage is to lift them at once above all necessity for exertion, and even the servant girl dresses and reasons as if she entertained a romantic confidence in her Cinderella-like destiny of marrying a prince, or, at least, of being fallen in love with and married by some wealthy gentleman if net by some nobleman in disguise. That is why so many young men fear to marry. The young women they meet are all so imbued with notions of marriage so utterly incompatible with the ordinary relations of life in their station ; they are eo wholly inexperienced in the economy of the household ; they have been taught, or have taught themselves, such a "noble disdain" for all kinds of family industry ; they have acquired such expectations of lady-like ease and elegance in the matri monial connection, that to wed any one of them is to secure a life lease of domestic unhappiness, and purchase wretchedness, poverty and despair. All tills is wrong and should be amend ed. Such fallacies do not become a sensible people. Our grandfathers and mothers had more wisdom than this. The present age is much too fast a one iu this respect. Let us sober down a little. Let every young woman be taught ideas of life and expectations in marriage suitable to condi tion, and she will not be so often disap pointed. Should she be fortunate and wed above that condition, she may readily learn the new duties becoming to it, and will not have been injured by having pos sessed herself of those fitting a station below. Let her anticipate always a mar riage with one in the humbler walks of life and then should she happen to do better her good fortune will be more delightful. Alas ! the Poor Indian. A citizen of Los Angeles, California, tells the following story of wrongs to the Indians. He writes the United States Indian commissioner : I am astonished and disgusted at the course of the government toward the Temccula Indians. That poor people once owned this entire country, and have been driven back, back, back, until they finally settled in a cone of the San Bernardino mountains, where they and everybody thought they were out of the way of civili zation. But one Frenchman and two Scotch men came to America and bought sheep, and in searching for a pasture for their herds they discovered that the land occu pied by these poor Indians would make good grazing ground for them. They have secured from the government of America a title to land occupied by these poor, help less creatures, and have secured the officers of the government as aids to drive two thousand poor women and children out of their little cabins and away from their lit tle crops and orchards, where they have lived for thirty or forty years; Now, at the beginning of winter, they are forced to leave everything and go out into the winter storm3 without a shelter and without food. Thc agent Is exceedingly anxioti3 to do something for the Indians, but the neces sary instructions of the department, for want of authority of Congress, arc such that he is helpless. If this land really does be long to the Frenchman and Scotchmen, which is doubted by some, a few thousand dollars, if it could have been secured of Congress according to the recommendations of the commissioner of Indian affair, would have purchased it, and these Indians would have supported themselves comfortably on it, and never have been a charge to the government. They are not savages, but civilized, kind and friendly. But they are driven away for the benefit of a few sheep. I shall not be surprised if they become very savage and do much harm and cost the government a hundredfold more than the sheep and land will ever bring. I write as an impartial man, have no particular love for the Indians, having fought them for twenty years in Texas, but I know whereof I speak. These poor In dians have been shamefully treated by the government and some of the citizens. Can you not go to the department and get some aid for them ? The cheapest thing that can be clone is to buy land and give it to thero. A half township would accommodate them all. SOME ONE TO LOVE. Perhaps one of the most positive proofs that we have of the soul's independence of the body is our great need of something to love. Were we animals, creatures doomed to perish after a few brief years of life in this world, that which contents the brute would also content us. To cat and sleep well, to have an easy time of it, would bo enough. As it is, we many have all these things, and health to enjoy them, and vet be utterly wretched. Neither can mental food satisfv us. 'Some one to love !' is our heart's cry. When the atmosphere of ten derness is about us, we rejoice ; when the people arc harsh or unkind, we suffer. We begin life wishing to love all people, and beliving that they love us. Experience hardens us. Our dear ones grow lower but as long as reason lasts, we must love some one, we must at least imagine that some one loves us. The parents, sisters, and brothers that cherished friend whom we promise to cherish until death parts us these come into our lives and fill them up. Afterward come the children, frail helpless babies who need our care so much, and friends to whom we are not kin, yet who grow dear to u.-:-. Some have many loved ones and some but one. God help those who have none though they are generally to blame for their empty heartedncss ; fi.r kindness will win love. They arc always wretched, they often show their craving for something to love by cherishing some dumb animal a dog, a kitten, a parrot perhaps, on which they lavish caresses, which better spent would have bound some human heart to theirs. Pride or morbid sensitiveness may have been at the bottom of their lone liness, and these pots of theirs fill the ach ing void a little. Some one to love ? It is the cry of the human soul, the note to which even heart responds, the bond which will bind us all together in the other world ! where mourners thall reiirn forever. OVER-DRESSED WOMEN. I am convinced, . says a newspaper cor respondent, that there will come a time when man will rise and assert his prefer ence for plainly dressed women. He is just now ground into the dust with the tyranny of over dress. It annoys him to think that the soul-harrowing skirits and sense-withering bonnets are sent out by the importers to be exhibited, and that the goddess who nightly gathers her laurels from mankiud is only touting for a dry goods firm. Plainly dressed does not mean shabbily or inelegantly dressed ; by no means. It means, 1 think, appropriately dressed. It is opposed to too-much and too-often dress ed. A richly attired lady is one of the abiding incentives to virtue and respect. A tawdry and flashily dressed woman is a standing menace to respectability. And here let me sav that tlie church has attempted this advertising business. I am told by a New York milliner that those peerless ladies who appear in the sanctuary ever Sunday in new bonnets have them supplied regularly ami gratuitously by up town houses. Tlie ladies recompense the houses by mentioning the names of their firms when their bonnets are admired. How shocked these dear creatures would be if their beloved pastor should appear in his pulpit on Sunday with a placard on his breast inviting his congregation to buy their underclothing of Jones and Jobson. ADVICETOGIRLS. Somebody gives the following advice to young girls. It is worth volumes of fic tion and sentimentalism : Men who are wrrth having want women for wives. A bundle of gew-gaws, bounded with a string of flaps and quivers, sprinkled with cologne and set in a carmine saucer this is is no help for a man who expects to raise a family of boys on bread and meat. The piano and lace fabrics are good in their places, and so arc the frills and tin sels ; but 3ou cannot make a dinner out of the former, nor a bed blanket out .of the latter, and awful as such an idea may seem to you, both the dinner and bed blanket are necessary to domestic happiness. Life has its realities as well as fancies, but jou make it all decoration, remembering the tassels and curtains, but forgetting the bed stead. Suppose a man of good sense and good prospects to be looking for a wife, what chance would 3011 have to be chosen ? You may catch him or you may trip him, but how much better to make it an object for him to catch 3011. Render yourself worth catching, and 3011 will not need a shrewd mother to help 3-ou find u market. ODE ToluTUMN. The grasshopper creaks in the lean gloom, And the bumble bee bumblcth the live-loner day. "But where have they gone with the bran new broom? And what has been -done to the buzz saw's plaj" ? Oh, it's little he thinks of the cold minee pic, And it's little he reeks of the raw ice cream, For, the dying year with its tremu lous sigh Shall waken the lingering loon from his dream. O, list 1 For the cricket now far and near, Shrilfully singeth his roundelay, And the negligent noodle his noisy cheer, And where the doodlebug eats the hay. Oh, the buzz saw so busily buzzes the stick, And bumbling the bumble bee bum blcth his tune ; While the crickets crick in gly down at the creek, And the noodle calls noisily out, 'It is noon I'. The dog fennel sighs, 'She is here ' she is here !' And the smart-weed sa3s dream ily, 'Give us a rest !' The hop vine speaks tenderly, 'Give us a beer,' And the jimson weed hollers, t)h, pull down your vest.' Beating a Sewing Machine Agent; They tell of a widow, of Leesport, Pa., who got the best heaven bless her ! of a sewing machine agent. Her husband some time previous to his death rrI purchased a machine, promising to pay for it in monthly instalments. He had paid; nearly the entire sum when lie died, and the widow was unable to make up the balance. The agent called f jr the machine, and the widow demanded a portion of the money that had been paid. This was re fused in a surly way. Then the widow locked the doord of the house, putting the key in her pocket, and told the agent he could have the machine when he returned the money, and not before. 'She took hold of him," says the account, ''and a severe and prolonged tussle ensued, a while the children streamed and cried. The widow threw the agent over the hot kitchen stove, and finally succeded in set ting him dov, ii on the top of it, and held him while he begged piteously for merey, 'For God's sake, let me go, and I'll pay 3011 back cverv cent vour husband paid me.' Being satisfied that he was severely seorch-j ed. bhe pulled him off the stove, but held? on to him until he had paid back every cent of the instalments, and then she gave him two minutes' lime to take the ma chine and clear out with it." MELLOW SOIL AROUND TREES. Unless the surface of the ground is mulched around young trees over an area of six to ten feet in diameter, the ground should be kept clvan and mejlow. Every? farmer knows that a hill of corn or pota toes will not amount to much unless culti vated, and vet, there are many who will neglect to give tlie same care to a tree which is worth a hundred hills of cither of the former. Iu rich soil, trees may grow rapid ly without cultivation, and no amount of grass or weeds will rutard them ; but there are other things beside growth to be looked: after. If the weeds and grass are allowed? to wrow up around the stems of r.pplcj peach or quince trees, the bark will be come soft near their base bv being shaded, and thereby be in a suitable condition for the-recepition of the eggs which will even tually become peach or apple borers. Take any dozen of young apple trees in the sec tions where the apple-borer is abundant, and allow a portion to be choked with weeds and the remained well cultivated, and then watch the result. From our own exper ience, we believe that the chances arc nine to one in favor of these cultivated being exempted from this pest. In Haste to Marry. In Russia Poland lately it was given out and believed by all that the czar had sold six thousand of the unmarried women of the province to an Arabian prince, and that agents were at hand to select them and take them away. The effect was instantaneous. The girls did not run away or attempt to conceal themselves, but their fear of the Turkish harem was so trrcat that they laid their hands indiscriminately on the 3oung men and made them marr3 them. Candidates for matrimony were so nu merous that the process was continuous, and from press of business many couples had to be put off till the following day before their aspirations could be satisfied. Neither courtship, inclination, nor prudence, were given am consideration in the matter. All that each girl wanted was a husband, and she was ready to seize upon the firsfe single man that came within reach to meet the emergency. To such an extent did this go that at last the authorities had to interfere to save the 3-ouug ladies from that repcutance which the world sa3s follows lias 13 marriage. To Make Minee Pie. Hash five pounds beef with three pounds' of apples ; one-third pound chopped raisins, add three tablespoons spice, and cook three minutes ; add three tablespoons cinnamon", and stir three times ; add mace and pep per and caraway and clove, and coriuder and dried gooseberries, and salt and citron, and keep tasting till 3011 arc sure it is riht", then set the pan ia a chair and add one quart boiled cider, one teacup vinegar, two dozen prunes without the stones, a gill of white brandy if you can get it, a wine-glass-of rosewater, and four pulverized nutmegs; next add two cups of butter and one cup salt ; cook fifteen minutes. Taste and put the spoon back ; if you have anything else in the house you would like to put in 301; can do so, only exercise discretion, iu all 3our experiments ; bake in the oven and set awav in the cellar till vour mother-in-law comes a visiting. Detroit Free Jress. Two or three months ago a Delrolter started to build him a house, and as lie had always heard his wife 'jawing around' about, the lack of closets in houses' he determined to give her an agreeable surprise. She went up with him a da or two ago, and he pointed out eleven different closetts to her and asked : 'Now what do 3011 sa3r ? 'Well,' she replied, after another look, around, 'if there was another closet off the? hall I'd be willing to live and die here !' "There may be such a thim? as love at first sight," remarked a Detroit girl, as sho twisted a "tri2 arouud the curliusr iron. "but I dou't believe in it. There's Fred, I saw him a hundred times before I loved him. In fact, I shouldn't have fallen irt love when I did, if his father hadn't eivea him that house and lot."' v n r ir
