' No V doubt, however", but that we shall have occasion to laugh over many similar " 111 m" incidents, before we are many weeks. older :r-j - About a fortnight since, a tail specimen of " Yan kee manufacture" arrived in the good city of Port land, in the State of Maine,; and established him self and luggage at the Elavil. (tel. His luggage consisted of a small valise and a, large oblong' box; containing (for the -inspectors had examined its -contents) a (puautity ftf books,, richly bound, which 'the. proprietor had brought for the purpose of re . ttailing about the city. . j After seeing his property placed in the room al i lotted to him", the peddler made his appearance in the oftke with a small volume in his hand. He glanced his keen, shrewd eye leisurely around the room, which contained at that momes no one but the clerk and myself. . - " "Fond of. reading ?" inquired -'the peddler of the clerkwhen he had finished bis observation. v "Don't get any time-to read," replied the clerk. . "I rather guess I've got a book here youM like to read," continued the peddljer-perseveringly. , "What is it 2" :' ' - ;r, I Well, it's a real good book ; and just right for the times, too, cause it'll give 4 man spiritual con solation ; and they lo say .that's what a man can get very easyin Maine just about now.."

Then seemingly satisfied l with the scrutiny he asked the1 price and purchased it. , ; f,-: ''-f " Say, you" said the peddler, after the: bargain was' concluded moving-towards the door "Say, you, if anybody else should see that' book and want tcrget another just like it, sen4 'em up to No. 73, ; and I'll accommodate 'em just about as quick as v they please." li -- .

Turnr ing up one end of the book, he removed a small slide, and discovered a small stopple, which he un screwed, which I applied mechanically to my mouth. " What is it ?" asked he laughing. "Brandy- by jingo!" exclaimed' I, pausing to take breath, and then - making tracks for the door. ' Hollow ! .wheae are you going ?" "Up stairs ; it has' just struck me; that the Pil grim's Progress, will be an excellent addition to my library." ; ! . : The next daythe peddlerV stock was exhausted.

It. has given entire satisfaction, and all who have houses to paint, will consult .their interest by using it.
