One midsummer day, when ,:olus slept, and the thermometer stood in (tie niiHHies, a lady entered a store not a thousand miles off, and inquired for parasols. The obliging proprietor spread out Ufore her samples of a large and varied stoek. Have you any of this shade a size larger? said tlu lady. The si.p was produced. I think on the whole I prefer the size smaller. The size smaller was presented. Have you nv of this size a lighter shade of blue? The required shade was brought out. Ilavnt you any of this kind with a crooked handle? The shade with the crooked handle appeared. Have you any with the crooked handle not quite so heavy? said the lady, and so continued her inquiries for every conceivable size, shade and weight in the line of parasols. After nearly an hour had been consumed, the fair shopper gathered up her handkerchief and gloves, and moved for the door. tant I NO. 1S71. 1.
