(By WALT MASON.)

I asked eight dollars and a half for one fine black Polled Angus calf, which price was not too high. I hoofed it west. I hoofed it east, endeavouring to seil the beaut, but no one wished to buy. Day after day 1 toiled along, mid Ttored men with the same old song, "I have a calf for Bale; I ask eight bones and til'ty cents, for this "unequalled critter, stents —who will dig up the kaleP" Then said a friend, ''Oh, rest your -feet, and tiuit your wearing out the street, and howling by the year; spend fifty cents, and advertise your snwed-off cow of pocket, size, and buyers will appear." I followed up that sane advice, and put, my jaded feet on ice; and when the erl appeared tei Cirlomers came to my gate; one bought the calf and paid the freight, the others bucked and reared. And thus. by printing little ads, the wise man gathers in th v © scad? and rests his aching corns; ia little ad will make more noise fhan fifty-seven noisy "Bovr all tooting on their horns.
