" You 800 how it is from top to bottom. But it hain't its total lack of music that makes nie despise pianos so, it is because they are so dangerous." *' Dangeroils 1" -says I. - " Y"es, in thunderstorms, you see," says he, liftin' up tlie cover.

I shouldn't sleep a wink thinkin' I bad expos ed them to sucti danger." *.' Good Heavens !" says I, " I never thought on it before."- " Wall, now you have thought o^ it. You see plainly that on organ is just what you need. They are full of music,, safe,, healthy, and don't coat lmlf so much." Says I, " An organ was what we had set our minds on at first." " Wall, I hive got one out here and I will bring it in.". " What is the price ' Bays I " Two hundred dollars," says he. " There won't be no need of bringing it in ut that prioe,"gays I, " for I havo heard Josiuh say he wouldn't give a cent over one hun dred and fifty dollars-for-one." . Wnll/i says the feller, " I'll tell yon what I'll do.

An J when Josiah eaiue in from his'work and the children came home from school they liked it. first-rate. Btit the very next day a new agent came in, and he looked skairt when he ketched Hu;ht of that organ, and awful mad und iudig- nant too.

Josiah came in a. shukin' himself, for he was all cov ered with straw and feathers, and says he : " I will buy a gun the first hard work I do." 8ay8 I, " I woulJ be ashamed of myself, Josiah Allen.

Don't you remember the fox in the brambles 1 Let the old Bwarm remain,, for if yoti drive 'em off a hungrier set would come, and then I should be utterly de voured." Wall, this took place about noon. I had an awful headache, and I told Josiah, says, 1^ " How mil I goin' to tussel with them agents this afternoon, idon't know, enjoying such poor Health as I do to-day." When I felt well I could get along witli' 'em better, but it didn't seem to me' as if I could argue with jem all the afternoon, feelin' as I did, and Josiuh had got to go in the woods to work.

" Not in the day time," says I, depressed ly. , "Take that old; popgun of Thomas Jefferson's and load it with beet juice and Bhojit 'era with it, and make them think you have drawn blood."

TluU Barrel oT Salt. - One of tbe firm who ruii com mission house on Wppdbridgo street is a man", of muscle. He can lift a bairel of flour o easily as a com- lubn man lifts a bag of.oats, and it scarcely makes his ears grow redr as lie heaves 11 barrel of salt into a farmer's wagon; For weeks past he has been boasting of his strength of muscle, and wanting to see some thing he couldn't lift, and the boys around the store got their heads together the other* .dkyj They took a salt barrel and tilled.it with, broken pig-iron, old weights and other things," put. two inches of salt a.t each end, and Tolled it to the curbstone; and at a favorable hour ' a dray backed up in the moat inpo- cent manner ana an order from .. grocer for a barrel of salt was hand-' ed out. ' The drayman arid two of the boys fooled around so long that - the strong man got out of bis chair in disgust, threw off his .coat and said : porous plosters for yonr backs.. Get out of the way and give me a chance!' -" He seized tbe barrel by.-~tb chimes and lifted away. It didn't move. He gritted his teeth and laid" out to pull the hoops right off. The hoops staid right there. So did the barrel. " It.takes"funr good men to lift one of them barrels,' said the dray- ; man": ; Nonsense! I|ve lifted a score of them, and I'll pick this up or break' my back. ! I guess the Bait must be wet.' ' j -. j. He got in position, drew a long breath, and thenllifted till.his eyes looked like two towels left outj. on, ths clothes line in a dark night The barrel didn't lift. Pig-iron. was too mush for muscle, and tha lifter sat down on the walk. "His back uBed to be plump up and down, but it hasn't been since that lift. His eyes are getting' ba'cfc to their- original positions, and the . rgd is leaving the back of hia neck, and he sees men, handle a bag of dried apples or a bushel of leana without ' a word of comment.
