Mrs. Davis’ face reddened with suppres-
sed lau_-._r,bter,and s.he§bit her lips agniii,wbile
trying to preserve something like outward
grzrvity during this account of the lleddler’s
.~nperiority to his father, Tommy Goslin of
Gosliiiborougli, and his great Uncle. Meri-
ally, she wondered how deaf they wci'e,but
bowed, by way of acnuiescence in the
appeal made to her, viz: that it was possible
for one to be so ‘bar-;lo’hearing as to hear
nolhing at all,’ and her guest proceeded,
‘ Yes it’s pretty considerable well that i
get along, seeing that I’m deaf. I mean to
s9.-my keep on a sir/rel among the hills here,
where the farmers live mostly, for I believe
they are sorter ho nest people. My name is
Billy Goslin, and when the people get to
knowing me, i think_l_shall do right well-
don't you, marm E’
Mrs. Diivisagain answered with a bow,
and ‘the poor deaf’ pa.“-idler’ remarked that
he must ‘be a going...’ Butjust as he was
buckling on his trunks, he happened to catch
another glimps of Ruler, whom he had ap-
parently nearly forgotten. Had the entrance
to the farmhouse been actually guarded b-y
two fierce tigers, crouched down, one on
either side of the door, with wide-extended
l‘:X\VS, rvnting for their prey, it would not
- have seemed more impossible to the man
who was deaf; to go‘ through, was too
much for him to undertake alone, and he
turned an appealing look at the mistress of
the mansion. She kindly arose and guar-
ded him through the gate, and then receiv-
ing his parting saltitation with a how, she
returned to the house. Ellen had thrown
down her work, and run to see the last of
their visitor.
‘ Do look,_ mauima !’ she cried, ‘_tlie man
evidently thinks Ruler is after ritn ; he
walks like :1 dancing elephant.’ “
‘Pshaw l. Ellen, hush. I am really vex-
ed with yoti, and vexed with myself, for
laughing at the poor man as we have done
It was very uncivil and unclrristian like
too. How could the peddler help being
deaf?’
‘He could not help it, mother. Doctor
Pillsbury tried remedies enough, it would
seem. Neither blistering, plastering or
bleeding, did any good, as we have been
informed,’ and the irierr_v girl lauglied more
hcartly than ever, and her mother as she re-
called the ritlicirlous figure of the man, and
his impei'tuibe.l gravity, was compelled to
join in.
But let us take a peep at Billy Goslin.-—
After he had descendetl the bill, and was
f:-iirlv out of sight of the farmhouse and its
ll’llilalt‘S, he set his trunks down, and throw
ing himself upon the greensvvartl, laughed
as if his sides would burst. What had Billy
floslin found, wlricli pleased him so ?——-
:\iol)-'i(ly lcnotv. Could he have caught a
sylimpse of himself reflected from a stream
of water near by, there would have been a
S'.‘tfllt2lt3!)l explanation of his glee, but no
stich opportunity offeretl itself. lle evident-
lv was enjoyin_g; his own thonghts——rt-juicing
merely perhaps, that he was not as deaf as
his father was, or his great uncle. We said
nobody knew the cause of his‘ mcrriment,
but Henry Smith the school master, who
iiappcnedto be returning from school about
that time, cspietl him rolling on the gasrs
and went directly tip to him. No sooner
had lie taken a full SLll‘\"t’.y of the poor deaf
man’s pbysiognorriy, than he too laughed, as
if beside himself, and sitting down, he said,
‘ \".-"lint a figure! by the powers of :Jovc
What do you expect to accomplish while in
this trim? How did it take, Fred, and
what did they buy 2’
The school innster did not speak vey loud,
arid yet, strange to tell, the poor deaf ma...
he-’1r«;l every word without the help of his
trumpet, and with an inimitable grace, he
fulty narrated all that occurred at the farm-
house.
At this l.lat'i'y Smith laiighed immn.'.ier-
ately but looking down the lane, he saw
little Jimmy Davis, the f-.-trmer’s only son, a
boy about twelve years of age, returning on
his fathcr’s old white mare from mill. No
sooner was this di.~:c.ivery made, than it was
pointed otit to Billy Goslin, who instantly
l't’S'J!tlC(l his gravity and deafness, and pick-
ing up his trunks he began his march again.
‘Llly little boy, I'm mighty deaf, and want
to go to Gosliuborough; is this the right
road T!’ he said, stopping beside Jiininyg
lio-‘so, and raising his trumpet to his ear.
Jiirrmv ‘looked down and stared at the
queer Specimen ofhumanity beside him, and
~1.l1'3n not quite certain that. be fully under-
imntl the question, he said in a very respect-
iul manner‘, -
‘Sir ?’
‘l Wanl l0 go 10 Goslinborough’ where
deaf Tommy Gosling lives. is this the
road, my little man .7’
Jcminy knew nothing of Goslingborough,
OI‘ '' (lPt‘.f Tommy Gosljjig ’ He looked per-
plexed for a minute, and then asked,
‘ls it a town, sir, or a village ?’
‘ D0 1 ‘watt! in go I/ierc to pillage? lVhat
a ucstion. Do you mean to insult :1 P00,-
rlcaf perldler, boy ? I am not a robber by
my means, but a perldlcr. Don't you see,
my trunks? No’ it's cause Tommy Gog-
ling, my father, lives there, that makes me
want to go . Pillage indeed! VVhat made

élwtlltl llave :1 great mind to cane you elf of

and my father was deaf before me, and a
great uncle, too.’
Jr-inrny opened his eyes wider than ever,
while this tlir;-at: was given, and then made
another attempt to speak, but he found that
t_*Vt3i'_’,'ll'llt'l_{ be said was most ludicrously con-
tstt'ti£'l€tl, and at l:ist,gcttiiig out of all trian-
net‘ of patience, hecalled to the schoolmaster
who still stood lan__qhing,‘to come and see if
he could make that deaf man understand
anything.’
‘Drive on, Jemmy,’ saitlfi Harry, he‘s a
,-coaliz.-g, to make the best ofhim. \Vhen he
finds his father, Tommy Gosling, maybe the
two will be able to tiittlerstarid each other;
‘,'.>L1 never will make hirn know anything
‘$7!
-.
Z7
you wish him to know in the world,so:come
on and let him find theiwayitogoslinborough
as best he can.’ ‘ _
Jemmy followed this advise, and giving
his ‘noise a strike with a small twig whlcll hf‘-
carriad in his hand, started. Tllfr P001‘ deaf
peddlcr stood a minute, uttering imPl"’°“’
tious upon all saucy youngsters, and then
‘ocmed on. '
J L71 say, cousin Harry Smith,’ said Jemmy
that main is either a fool or, crczy. I could
notlmake him understand anything l_"_sard to
liim.'
t-"N0 no, Jemmy, simply deaf l__.guess.—
Perhaps the next one he meets, will be able
to give him all necessary direction.,
a Did he ask you the way E’ said Jammy,
‘He spoke to me,’ said the schoolmaster
evasively. ‘I couldn’t tell him the way, in-
deed I never heard of the place l'Jefo-re.—.—
Perhaps cousen Ellen has. We can ask
her :whcu we get home.’
That evening, the sayings and doings of
hedcaf peddler, formedg the chief topic of
conversation around farmer Davis’ tcaboartl.
Little Jemmy adhered strenously to his opin-
ion, that the fellow was either a fool or cra-
zy,while the school-master laughed at all
of Ellen‘s discriptions ofhim, but never ex-
pressed an opinion. Farmer Davis listened
t) the young tolks for awhile, and then ef-
fectually hushed them by remarking that he
thought them very cruel and hard-but-tetl, in
thus ridiculing the actions and dress of :a
man, whose only fault seemed to be a prov-
dential stroke, wdich entitled him‘ to much
commisseration and kindness.
The next day Mrs. Davis made nl_1Inel0US
inquiries of her neiglibours at the quilting, in
order to ascertain if any of them had been
favored by a call from the travelling mer-
chant, but all were entirely ignorant of such
a personage. None ofthem had seen him
_.none;of them had heard of him. The fsr-
iner’slwife could not help thinking that it
was:very strange indeed, that he had c.alle:'.l
nowhere else, but reinemiiering that he had
expressed his intentions of keeping on a cir-
cuit among the hills, she concluded that her
house was the only one included in_his: ar-
rangements.

{l(_€;;V. 13. Palmer, Esq., the celebrated
Newspaper Agent was in town yester-
day afternoon. He looked in upon us
“in a business way,” and he is all business
a fine specimen of a systematic, calculating
business man. Few then, if any, in this
country, uiidei'stand the newspaper business
better than be. Mr. P has built an exten-
sive, antl now profitable buisness, pccpliarly
his own. He is the agent for almost every
newspaper‘ of any importance in the country,
and collects advertisements for them, purchas-
es materials, scttlcs bills, &c. He preservs
files, studies localities, gets a good idea oftlre
buisness In the vicinity of each newspaper,
and gives the merchants in the principle cities
just such information as they head.’ He can
it'll a New York, Bot-ton, or Philadelphii
merchant,in which country paper it would
be for their a../lvrmlage to atlvcrtisc. if the
merchant deals in any particular branch of
dry goods, he can tell where the best country
market is; autl so of hnrtlware and fancy
goods, or any other article of merchandise.
He can tell them of the best newspapers.
in this way lie is of greats-ervice to the incr-
chants, and throws an extra shilling into the
bonds of the publishers. The mert-liants
in the citties, are learning this, and they
give him a large buisness, which he finds is
rapidly increasing.
“ Anvi-‘.n'risii\'o,” says Mr. Palmer, "is the
great level‘ of success with the niiwcliant.”
He gives illustrati.-~.ns by lruiidreds of cases’
in which firms of moderate business, and
comparatively unknown, have resolved to
es,-peiitl $300, $1,000, or $52,000 and in some
cases as high as $10,000 a year in arr'z.-crlis-
Eng. Tlicir businces at once rushed tip to
a point of prosperity never known to them
before, and in a few years the proprietors
retired on a princely fortune. “This is all
natural cnough—all reasonable enough,”
says ‘Mr Palmer. “ The. newspapers give
the public, far and near, everyday informin-
tion. A merchant can make himsclfknotvn,
and the natu_e ofhis business too, through
the newspapers.—He can draw the eyes of
50,000 persons dircctly ripon his store and
stock of gootls,and by doing so, he cannot
fail to increase his sales to an enormous ex-
tent.” “ lVhy !” continued Mr. Palmer,
“this matter is not yet fully understood, but
our dealers throughout country, are getting
awake to the subject, and it will not be long
before a merchant will as soon think of talk-
ing a journey in a car wit/L-ou.t an ciigznc al-
lac/Lrvl, as to attempt to succeed in business
wilyout mZutr2'tisi7ig. Every body sees that
all who go into the advertising plan exteri-
sivcly succeed, whilst most others who do
not take this advantage, grope along in the
rear.”
