Lucretia was @ poor seamstress, and well Mr. Shrewd knew that she would not have bought itif she hadn't got it cheap, and he reckoned her influence as nothing; but he could see no way of refusing, so he smother- ed his feelings and answered her as civilly as the rest. And then came others until the silk was all gone but one dress pattern, and Mr Shrewd was in hopes to save that; but Mrs. Green, who had anxiously waited for a chance to get near the counter, now came forward as she saw the others depart, saying that she would like to get that for her Sally, as she promised to buy her something before she came back Mr. Shrewd was irritated to the highest pitch with his numerous cares and perpiexi- ties, and when the old lady made her appear- ance atthe counter for the remnant of rich goods he looked up and saw her plain unfash tonable dress, and determined not to part with the silk at that price ; so he said, rather pettishly, “I can’t let you have that at twen- ty-five cents a yard, ma’am. “Why not, pray?’ returned Mrs. Green, “ you let them others have theirs at that price, and ain’t my money as good as theirs? And besides, you advertised silks at twenty-five cents,’’ and the old lady took from her pocket S25 dF one of the bills issuzd by the firm, and which OR RENT—A BRICK HOUSE, SITUA- she had requested one of the clerks to give ted on 6th street, near the cornerof M.

JAMES GUTHRIE, go right in and get warm; and then if I make @ few purchases how 1 shall surprise Sally by carrying her home a nice silk instead of a cai- ico, and it won’t cost much more either.” “ Won't you walk in ma’am,’’ said a clerk opening the door and stepping back to give rs. Green ample room to enter. “Why,” thought Mrs Green, ‘ how very polite he is? and I am an old woman too, and not got my best clothes on either, for it spoils clothes to be riding round in them.’? And she replied : “Thank you, sir, [don’t care if I do. I have got a few dollars to spend, and I sup- pose I may as well spend them here as any- where.”’ “ Oh certainly, certainly, ma’am, walk right in; you will find my employers, Messrs. Shrewd and Quick most excellent men to deal with Woe are selling off goods remarkably cheap as you will see by our bills.” “ Yes, L have been reading them outside there till I was almost froze. Won't you be so kind as to show me where the stove is? I would like to warm my feet a little.’ Clerk No. 1 at the door glances at No 2 be- hind the first counter, and then taking from his pocket a scented handkerchief to wipe away the mirthfulness from his face, politely invites Mrs. Green to be seated at the register. Alth ugh Mrs. Green, who belonged to “the rural district,’’ had heard of furnaces, she was not very familiar with this modern mode of suffocation, and she stood just within tho door awaiting more explicit directions.

When Mrs Green was seated, she looked around on the crowd within and began to think that all the noise wasn’t outside after all. The urbane Mr Catch was standing at the door with one eye to business and the other on the girls as they passed up and down the street with feathers and ribbons floating in the breeze. Clerk No 2 had returned to his post and was using all the superlatives in his vocabu- lary to convince Miss Arabella that his de- for Sally.”’ Mr. Shrewd stood undecided what to do; be dreaded to offend the old woman for fear she might talk loud and say something that would attract the other customers to the spot, and after afew moment's silence a new idea seemed to cross his mind. So putting on one of his sweetest smiles he said - “Really madam, I should be very happy to sell it to you, but as it is the last pattern im the piece, I wish to make it a present to my wife.” “Oh well, if that is the caze,’’ said Mrs. Green, I won’t say another word,’ and she turned to look at the other goods, but after a half hour's search, she went out saying that she couldn't find a thing any cheaper there than she could down in the village near home at old Mr. Crompton’s shop, and he never had a placard printed in his life As Mrs Green passed other etores where they whe selling at oe than cost, she looked rather knowingly at the windows, and enter- ing an unostentatious, one-price store, pur- | ‘WN, or at the Star Office counter. chasol five dollars’ worth of dry goods to take shea cen oan te geting tng become home to her daughter Snlly. bs be wih shafting attached to thonew and pow- The first leisure moment Mr Shrewd could | erfai engine of the Star Newspaper and Job get he went up into the loft and called Ste- | Printing Office, manufactured y the Messrs. phentohim The young lad felt that he was | Ellis, and arranged so asto furnish ample power. gving to be reprimanded.

But he was soon brought to his senses by the cutting remarks of Mrs. Grip “I don’t believe a word of it! It’s alla humbug from beginning toend.

And old Mrs. Green grew very nervous, and felt inclined to hitch her stool a little nearer that she might catch the words more plainly. How matters would have ended we cannot say, had not the polite Mr. Shrewd stepped across the store, and after giving Stephen an- other private glance, and ordering him to go up to the loft to unpack boxes, he very thandly inquired what was the trouble; and then remarked that Stephen had not been at $5; and a good fashion- able Hat at $3, worth 84; and a first-rate Hat, $2 50. i The best materials and the best workmanship 's emplcyed to produce a $5 Hat, which ts sold for 33 Bo We doacssh business, meet with no los- ses, but give each customer full value for his money.
