Each little merchant carries a plate on bis bead, balancing it expertly like a jaggler, and never bothering to steady it with his hand, whether be is running or making change.

Tbe butter boys' mothers don't make this butter in a churn. They merely shake milk or iream in a big jar till it is fairly solid. Then they put in lots of salt and send it to

"Tbe old man heard them, and calling out in a shrill voice : “ 'Gents. I hain't so poor an' poverty stricken as ye think. 1 don’t own none o' this land.'”
