A,cold winter's night, several years since, found a stage load -of- passengers gathered together around a warm fire of a tavern bar room in a New England, village. Shortly atter we arrived, a peddler drove up and -- ordered that his horse should be stabled for the-night.- . - After we had eaten supper we repaired_ -to 'the bar room, where -conversation flowed freely. Several anecdotes had been related, aad Jitnilly the peddler was asked to give us a story, as the men of his profession were generally full of adventures and andedotes. He was a short, thick s•et man, somewhere about forty years of age, and gave evidence of great physical strength. He gave his name as Lemuel Vittney, and his home was in Dover, New Hampshire.

FALSE CALVES, BOSOMS,ANDPLIIMP ERS.—The false calves now so "much in vogue are rendered necessary by the new style of tilting hoops, which go very far towards exposing what was be fore only dreamed of, of existed only in imagination. In the language of an ex change: " Their calves aro nut a fleeting show, Fur man's illusion given ; They're filled with bran or stuffed with tow, • And swell about a foot or so, And look first-rate, by heaven." The false bosoms are made of fine wire, in the shape of a bird's nest, with a small spring in them, and really look and feel quite natural. The plu mpers are fastened on the teeth in such a manner as to make the face look round and plump, and are calcula ted to deceive the unsuspecting. Young gentlemen need have no fears—they are all right, and need no artificial tLxins but we advise them not to marry a Yankee girl without a full investigation. A STORY OF THE Toi.Es.—ln the midst of the late excitement, and at the mo ment when every body thought all the banks were going to the dogs together, Jones rushed into the bank of which be was a stockholder, and thrusting the certificate into the face of the transfer clerk, he said, in great haste: " Here, please transfer half that to Jas. P. Smith !" The clerk looked at it, and asked, 'Which half, Mr. Jones'?" I don't care which half," replied Jones, puzzled at the inquiry. " You had better go the courts ; I can't make the transfer without a legal decision. If you really wish to trans fer your other half to Mr. Smith, we can't do it here." Jones was confounded. He knew the bank, were all in a muddle, but this was too deep for him. He took his certifi cate from the hand of the smiling clerk, and on looking at it, lo! it was his mar riage certificate ! Being a printed form, on fine paper, and put away among his private papers, it was the first thing that Mr. Jones laid hands o>i when he went to hissecretary for his bank stock scrip. He went home, kissed his wife, glad to find she hadn't been transferred to Mr. Smith, and, taking the right pa pers this time, hastened down town in time to get it all straight. "C.osmo," in the Philadelphia Satur day Evening Post, gives the following faetA worth remembering: It is worth while, for all farmers eve rywh;ere, to remember that thorough Pulttere is better than three mortgages on their farm. That an offensive war against weeds, is five times less expensive than a defen sive one. That good fences always pay better than lawgnits with neighbors. That hay is a great deal cheaper made in the summer than purchased in the winter. That a horse who lays his ears hack and looks lightning when any one ap proaches him, is vicious. Be sure and not buy him. That scrimping the food of fattening hogs, is a waste of grain. That over-fed fowls won't lay eggs. That educating children is money lent at a hundred per cent. That one evening spent at home in study, is more profitable than ten loung ing about country taverns. That cows should always be milked regularly and clean. "It is proposed that the patent pulpit be built in the usual style, but suspend ed over the preacher was to be an appa ratus something in the shape of a can dle-extinguisher. This was to descend, so as, in exactly fifteen minutes, to com pletely extinguish the clergyman, and of course his sermon could never exceed that period in duration. Eight minutes after the sermon bad commenced, a loud premature snap or click was toannounce the commencement of the extinguish er's descent; and it is stated that upon several private trials, no clergyman could be found who had the nerve to continue his sermon, after hearing this snap or click, over three minutes long er, such was the fear in his mind that his light would he hidden under the suspended bushel."
