Burton HOLES ON Born SIDEs.-A gentle
man in Charleston, who entertained a good deal
of company at dinner, had black fellow as
an attendant who was native of Africa, and
never could be taught to hand things invaria-
bly, to the lsfl hand ofthe guests at the table. At
length his master thought of an infallible ex-
pendent to direct him, and as the coats were
then worn in Charleston single breasted, in the
present quaker fashion, he told Sambo always
to hand the plate, Sc, to the bmto,,-hoie side
Unfortunately, however, for the poor negro, on
the day after he had received his ingenious les
son, there was among the guests at dinner a
foreign gentleman with a double breasted coat.
Sambo was for a while completely at stand.
He looked first at one side of the gentleman's
coat, and then at the other, and finally, quite
COMPOUNDED at the outlandish make ofthe stran-
gers garment, he cast despairing look at his
master, and then exclaiming in loud voice,
"Button holes on bof sides, massa," and hand
ed the plate right over the gentleman's head.

THE EESDAUGHTERs.--Aco rrespon-
dent Of the New Haven Courier, writing from
the village of Leesville, gives hefollowing ac-
count Of Connecticut family
But the most interesting thing about Lees
vile, is that it is the birthplace Of ssfourteen
daughters" To say "fourteen daughters" or
one Of the fourteen daughters, would require
no explanation here, or in any part Of Middle
sex county, but with you it may not be quite
so plain. will explain:
In the largest aud most commodious house
in the village resides Mr.. Whitmore, who is
the father ofthe fourteen daughters. He new
er had a son. The youngest daughter is now
twelve years old. Twelve Of the daughters
have been married and twelve are now living.
What is little singular, every oneofthe daugh-
ters married in regular rotation, that is, the
Oldest first, and so on. The father was heard 10
kingly to remark, Hwil have nopcking in my
family-you must take them as they come"
The daughters have ever sustained a high
character for their many virtues and good qual-
ifications, and make as exemplary wives as
dutiful daughters. All the twelve married
respectable, worthy men, and have been par
ticularly blessedin the relation. When the last
child was born, Mr.. Whi,more was so disap-
pointed that IT was not son, that he wept
like child. Although the oldgen,leman was
not blessed with son, he has many graadsons.
and viii probably have scores of them.

SrRivss.--That the springs in shcearth were
not sufficiently supplied with water in the year
1915, says the U. s Gazette, win fully appear
from an examination OF the following table
The register kept by our correspondent, G. r.,
is sufficiently accurate TO show the fact
The quantity OF rain which fell during each
month. including Dec. 1874, to Dec. iS45, was
as follows:
December, iS44--2 a inches
January, 1852 inches.
February "a inches.
March, 2 inches.
April--2 IL inches.
May--l i-2 inches.
June---3 "a inches.
July "a inches.
August IA inches.
Scptember--2 | 2 inches.
October--2 l-2 inches
Noyember--2 = inches.
The springs are indebted TO the months OF
December, January and February, for con-
slant supply Of water throughout the year. II
these should fail there must be deficiency.
December, 1864 inches.
January, 1864 2 inches.
The springs are now copiously supplied.
1t can be seen that August, 1915, was liber-
al in rain, but the evaporation was too rapid TO
raise the springs, which in July were remarka-
bly, low. II. c.

ASImroRrAsT IsvENToS.--A Mr.. Phillips,
of London, has lately invented a "Fire-anni-
hilator for instantaneously extinguishng fires
by aerated." The principles. says a foreign
journal, are chemical, and they proceed on facts
deduced from considerations Of the source Of
all power-ehemical action. Fire, in the or
binary deception of the term, is phenomenon
which results from the union Of oxygen, the
supporter ofcombustion, hydrogen, theelement
of flame, and carbon, the element Of light. If
the oxygen be Withdrawn, the fire ceases
This the fire annihilator accomplishes A jet
Of peculiar gaseous yapor, which possesses
greater affinity for the oxygen Of the air than
the oxygen has for the hydrogen and the car
bon with which il is combined, is nstanta-
neously generated by the machine, and thrown
with extraordinary rapidity on the fire, which,
being instantaneously deprived ofthe .'suppor-
ter of combustion" at once ceases. The ex-
tnction is so sudden that in the case of strong
fire, which Mr.. Phillips ''put out" on board u
vessel in the Thames, the operation did not
occupy zone second" and ii was compared
by the spectators TO "hash of lightning"

SADSEss.-There is a mysterious feeling that
frequently passes like cloud over the spirits.
Itcomes upon the soul in the busy hustle OF
life. TO the social circle in the the calm and ST.
lent retreats OF solitude. At one time il is
caused by the fitting Of single thought across
the mind. A sound viii come booming over
the ocean Of memory, gloomy and solemn as
the death knell, overshadowing all the bright
hope and sunny feelings Of the heart Who
can desire it, and vet who has notfelt its bewid-
ering influence? Still it is delicious sort of
sorrow and like cloud dimning the sunshine
on the river, although causing momentary
shade of gloom it enhances the beauty Of re-
turning brightness.

GOOD NIGHT.
FROM THE GERMAN OF KoRUM.
Good night
To each weary toilworn wight;
Now the day so sweetly closes,
Every aching brow reposes
Peacefully this morning light
Good night!
Home TO resti
Close the eye and calm the breast;
Stiffness through the streets is stealing,
And the watchman's horn is pealing,
And the night calls softly, "Haste!
Home TO rest,
Sweetly sleepi
Eden's breezes round We sweep;
Der the peace forsaken lover
Let the darling image hover,
As he lies in transport deep,
Sweely sleep!
So, good night!
Slumber on till morning light;
Slumber, till another morrow
Brings its stores of JOY and sorrow:
Fearless, in the Fathers sight,
Slumber on. Good night.

MECHANICAL OCCUPATIONS.

II was lately stated that well known build
or in this city had contracts for building nine
teen stores in the burnt district, besides other
engagements i'll various parts Of the city, the
profits on which, a single year, would realize
a fortune Is not this fact Of sufficient impor-
lance to induce Parents to place well educated
sons at mechanical pursuits in preference 10
liberal professions Here is one calling only,
that of builder; look at its results. From
being an educated man, understanding his bust
ness, having the confidence Of the community,
he commands their choice and profitable con-
tracts. Go also to ship building, business
full as profitable, and requiring skill, neaness
and dexterity. Look to our fumaces--to ingi-
neering, to working in gold, copper, tin and
iron, and other profitable branches of the me
chanic arts. There is always certainty and
security in these pursuits. What would these
successful men, making their $4,000 per an
mum, do as lawyers2 Visiting their offices
daily, reading periodicals, smoking segars or
waiting for some client. As Physicians, find
ing the business oyerstoeked and thus drag
out their best daysin unavailable effort TO secure
employment, whereas in the mechanic arts
employment seeks them. We hope to see
change in this system---and that children,
uniting with parents for the promotion OF their
own good, win secure TO themselves business
employment or calling that, with industry, can
not fail to make them Independently. L. Sun.
