The Prompt clerk.

once knew young man-said an
eminent preacher the other day, in a
sermon 10 young men--that was CON-
mencing life as a clerk. One day his

that cargo Of cotton must be got out and
weighed, and we must have a regular ac-
count Of it," 49,. n
lie YVES young man Of energy
This was the first time he had been Ell.
trusted 10 superintend the execution OF
this work; he made his arrangements
over night, spoke to the men about their
carts and horses, and resolving to begin
very early in the morning, he instructed
the laborers to be there at hatf-pas four
o'clock. So they set to work, and the
thing was done; and abou. ten or eleven
o'clock, his master comes in, and seeing
him sitting in the counting house, looks
very black, supposing that his commands
had not been executed. gg 81

were requested TO get out that cargo this
morning."
'it is all DONE said the young man,
sand here is the account of IT,
He never looked behind him from tn at
moment-never. His character was
fixed, confidence was established. He
was found to be the man to do the thing
with promptness. He very soon came
to be one that could not be spared-he
was as necessary to the firm as any of
the partners. He was religious man,
and went through lite of great benevo-
lence, and at his death was able TO leave
his children an ample fortune. He was
not smoke 10 the eyes, nor vinegar to the
teeth, bu, just the contrary.

Beauties.

We believe it was Adam Clarke, the
great Biblical commentator. who said
that handsome man rarely if ever be-
came great man, and for the very con-
elusive reasen, that he was generally so
much occupied in thinking of his own
good looks, that he had neither time nor
disposition to think Of anything else.--
Beauties certainly are. generally speak
ing, very embarrassing personages. The
following, which some one has joi,ed
down. will find confederation in al
most every ones experience: "3eauties.
whether male or female, are generally
the most untraetable beings in the world.
The handsome fellow is so much gen.
tleman. and the fine woman has some
thing SO becoming. and both expec. such
allowances, that there is no enduring
either of them"

things in rhyme, and not always without

Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't be naughty and put on airs
Withinsolent pride of station.
Don't be proud, and turn up your nose

LOVE IN A PRINTING OFFICE

LOVE IN A PRINTING OEFACE'
One day little blue eyed, saucy look
ing creature of some sixteen summers,
named Mary. expressed desire to visit
a printing Office. Cad! thought |, what
chance! Love in printing Office, Ell!
There was something original in that,
and resolved to try il at all hazards.
Well. Mary came to the Office, and !
explained to her the use OF the various
implements of ,he black art--ihe press,
the roller, the ink, the stands, and the
boxes of the A b C's. took an op.
portuniiy to snatch her pretty little hand,
and she drew back knocking a siickful
into pi.
IL must have kiss for that" said /,
and at it went. managed TO twist my
arm around her waist, and in a struggle
to free herself, she upset galley of ed
itoriaI. but obtained the kiss. By st.
Paul il was a sweet one--and the little
witch bore il like martyr-she never
screamed once, but as raised my lips
from hers, she gave me box on the
ears that made me see more stars than
ever did Herschel with his big telescope.
Somewhat net,led and with my cheek
smarting with pain, again seized her
waist, saying, 'if you don't like it. just
take back the kiss" As she jerked her
self from my arms, her. foot struck the
lye-po,. and over j. went. Another gal
ley of editorial was sprinkled on the
floor and in her efforts to reach the door,
her foot slipped and she fell, and her
arm stuck up to the elbow in the ink keg!
She slowly drew it forth from the keg.
dripping with ink. and asked me what
use made Of that tar? TO my surprise
she seemed rather pleased than angry
but there was lurking devil in her eye
that told me there was mischief afoat.-.
As l stood surveying the black covering
of her hand, she raised il on high, and
brought il down "kerslap" upon my
cheek! Before / could recover from my
surprise, the same lille hand again de-
scended, and left its inky imprint on the
other cheek.
"Why, Mary wh.tare you about"
"Ithink you told me YOU rolled ink
on the face of the FORM" said she, and
again her hand lit upon my face, taking
broad slap in the very middle of my
countenaace, and most wofully bedaub-
ed my eyes. With light step, and a
merry peal of laughter, she skipped
through the door. She turned back
when beyond my reach, and with her
roguish face peeplng in a. the doorway,
said
IL say Charley, what kind Of roller
does my hand maker"
"You take loo much ink, /.
"Ha. ha! well, goodbye. Charley
that's my Impression! ha! ha!''
went 10 the glass and surveyed my
self for moment. and verify believe
would have passed for Guinea negro
without the slightest difficulty.
"And So" said 10 myself, '.lhis is
love in printing office. The de'el fly
away with such love-"
The next morning when the editor
came to the Office - rather calculate"
he found things little .opsy.suryey.--I
However, that made no difference 10 me.

A Strange wish.

A certain old gentleman had three
sons; the two elders were remarkable for
their filial piety and obedience, and were
consequently beloved by all who knew
them. The youngest, on The contrary,
was an incorrigible scaregrace, and was
hated as much as the others were loved.
The old gentleman in common course of
events, got very sick, and assembled his
family around the bedside, TO have his
will read in their presence. Ii was as
follows:
"To my eldest son, William, | be-
queath all my landed property, &c.," to
which William exclaimed, "Father, |
hope you may live long and happy TO
enjoy il yourself" "lomy second son,
Edward, begueath all monies now in
my BANKERS hands, together with my
house and household furniture" The
second also replied in the same manner
as the first, Father, | hope you may
live long and happy to enjoy il yourself. +"
Then turning to the youngest, who was
waiting in silent anticipation for his d.
vision of the property, he said, ..As for
you, you profigate scoundrel, | leave
You shilling 10 buy a rope to hang
yourself" 10 the surprise and con-
sterna.ion of all present, he answered in
the same pious strain of the Others
Father, Hope that you may lice long
and happy to enjoy IL yourself"

Full of care and sorrow,
Sad it is and weary
But there comes q morrow.

TRUE LONELINESS.
BY R. K. SMITH

She who thinks noble heart
Better than noble mein,
Honors virtue more than art,
Though tits less in fashion seen,
Whatso'er her fortune be,
She's the bride, the wife for me.
She who deems that inward grace
Far surpasses outward show,
She who values less the face
Than that charm the soul can throw;
Whatso'er her fortune be,
She's the bride, the wife for me.
She who knows the heart requires.
Something more than lips of dew,
That when Love'srepose expires,
Love itself dies with it too:
Whatso'er her fortune be,
She's the bride, the wife for me.
