WOMAN. Gone from her check is the summer bloom, And her breath has lost its faint perfume. Anil the gloss has dropped from her golden hair, And her forehead is pale, though no longer fair. And the spirit that s it in her soft blue eye Is sunk in cold mortality; And the smile that played on her lip is fled, And evcrv grace has left the dead.
Like slaves they obeyed in height of power, Hut left her all in her wintry hour; And the crowds that swore for her love to die, Shrunk from the tone of her parting sigh And this is man's fidelity. 'Tis Ktman aloi.e, with a firmer heart, Can see all these idoUof life depart, And love the more, and soothe and bless Man in his utter wretchedness.

be in ncdling i I clo not gam my living oy
knaxerv. I assume you, said the pedlar, I in
,t lwnvq tn deal honestly ; but the secrets
of which I spoke, are simply those of making
people know and teel their wants. W ny, saic the first when vu call at a house and ask
them if the h to buy any of your wares,
and then they tell you no, I cannot see but
that vou must take their opinion instead of
giving yours on their wants, io sucn uimg, said the nediar ; people never know what
thrv want til! thev either sec it or hear it
particularly described. This is a principal in human nature, and it is true in move trades
than mine. How often o we see people send
ing for a physician who would never have
dreamed of being sick it sonic caveiui irienc
had not told them so ? Every body knows
how thirsty it make-, men to see others clunk

people are persuaded that when children do
not s. c tiu.ir parents and mnghbours swallow
in ' intox! i"g liquors, and when they are i -,f ivirv rnrncr bv a crop shop, the
evils of intemperance wiil cease in our land
Rut intemperance has not much to do with
tin peddling, I acknowledge, so I will relate m anecdote in point, and leave you to judge
o'" the tvu'h of my remarks. A few days nrc in mv travels, I called at a house where
I suspected the family had monry; and I

Upon inquiring of th&good lady, it she wanted any thing i i nivJijie, I met with an indignant fiown and an capbauc no! Rut 1 knew Inner. I replied, ty ware is very su nerior, 1 wi'l bring in some of it and you shall judge for ourself. Nothing daunted by her exclamations tbat she would not buy any. and that I might sp u e myself any further trouble, J deliberately proceeded to my cart and filled imy arms with an assortmcm of articles w hich re forthwith deposited on the floor of the hou-e. Then taking them one by one, I explained their uses, their beauty, their cheapness an I the lady's absolute w ant ot t.'.em. In the coutsc of h-df .n hour she was hilly convinced that she could not do without cer-

will persuade their, parents to buy so much
of what they would not otherwise think of,
that your extra proht tor a month in consequence of advertising will be greater than
he expense would be lor a year. At this the countenance of the merchant
brightened with that peculiar expression
which seems to say, "see if I do not maKe
more money next year than I did the last!"
I he company were well satistiea wun me
pedler's reasoning; and we retired in the full
persuasion that all who have any thing to sell
shoulClmmcriiatcly profit by his wholesome
advice.
f Thc lowing brief paragraph places in
