Anused at the tra v *rs' of men whom he had always es teeined, he walked into the store, and wa soon most politely greeted by a little geun - tenan behind the counter, who opening his a.sortnent of carricatlures to our ol.l friend, explained them in a very satisfac tory Way. - ,Tlisid Mr. Calhoun embracing Mr. -Van Buren, and is intended to burlesque the recent union of the Presideut and Johnny C."

K.-WVell, 'light, and( let's sec if we can drive a trade-what do you ask for it! F. Why, I wvant the market price, I snppose it is worth aboti seveuty cents that's w~hat I sold at last week. Tr. K. Oh, but you know thmere has been a fine rain since that-i think corn won't be worth more than fifty cents now. F.-Why wvhat has the rain to do with the price of corn? TI. K.-What has rain to do with the price of cot a? That's a pretty qatestion! Why, don't you know, that if we have plenty or rain anid make good crops that corn will be cheap? F.-WVell, there is something in that; but you gave me a dlocumnent the other day, which accused Van Buren of being the cause of the farmters getting lowv price-s for. their crops, and now you say, the raini will make cornr cheap-or may be you mean that Van Buretn made it rain, so that every bodycould make corn enotigh to do them:t then, but few would wvant to buy, and! of course it would be cheap. T. K.-Well,-but-Vanl Bu:r'-n has ruzincd the counttry? But it's the sub Treasury that has redtucedl prices so much. -F.-Well, wasn't there as tmuch saab. Treasury last week, as there is tnow? Your documents say it hats been in prae tical operation for three years: but mtay be the sub-Treasury made it rain? if it did I will go for it. T. K.-Yout pin me too close, I don't thitnk I toldl you that Van Biaron and the sub-Troasury had any thing to do ntith price of provisions. I believe itere wvas something about the price of flour, in tne document I gave you. F.-Ah, then, you don't believe it your self; but yota tr~y to make othetrs believe it, by recommendinmg theta to reatd what oth ers more Lold have said about it. WVell, I know onte thing-hard as times are, I amo not obliged to sell, and I'll take it home and keep it utntil next witnter, and tben I know i'll get a dollar a bushel for it. T. Kr-Why, mani, you mnust be-a fool get a dollar a butshel for it ? don't you know that every body bas gone, to work, and every man in the country is maktniam hi~ own corn? There ain't half as muany buners na there used to be, and these 150 ranis itake corn so plenty, that when the new crop comes in, you can't sell it at all. F.-Why, man, did'nt you tell moe the other day that Gen. Harrison was sure to be elected? T. K.-To be sure I dlid. but what ha.s that to dos with the price of corn? F.-Whv did'i %ou may that when he was elected 'he Parmner would Let a gonod parice fir his produce, and ain't that the strong artriurlent by which you try to fool the coln:try people into the stupport of Harrison ? T. K. Well. you won't take fifty cents for load of orn? F.-No, I believe I will try further. (eI it.) From the Charleston Mercury. Mr. Eli S.
