EVERY MAN HAS "a CALL. livery
man has his own vocation. The talent
is the call. There is one direction in
which all spaces is open to him. He
has facilities silently inviting him thither
to endless exertion. He is ike a sheep
in river; he runs against obstruction
on every side but one; on that side all
distractions are taken away, and he
sweeps serenely over deepening chan
mel into an infnit sea. This talent and
this call depend on his organization or
the mode in which the general soul in
carnates itself in him. He inclines to
do something which is easy to him, and
good when it is done, but which no
other man can do. He has no rival.
For the more truly he consults his own
powers, the more difference will his work
exhibit from the work of any other
His ambition is exactly proportioned to
his power. The height of the pinnacle
is determined by the breadth of the
base. Every man has this call of the
power to do somewhat unique, and no
man has any other call. The pretence
that he has another call, summons by
name and personal election, and outward
''signs that mark him extraordinary,
and not in the roll of common men," is
fanaticism, and betrays obtuseness to
perceive that there is one mind In all the
individuals, and no respect of persons
therein.-R. W. Emerson.

REVOLUTIONARY ASECDoTE.- A cor
respondent Of the Manchester [ N. "
Mirror, furnishes the following:
When the British were in Boston,
1867, my father was in BARRIERS shop
waiting to be shaved. A British Off
Ger came in and wanted to be shaved,
provided the barber could do it without
drawing blood, and saying if he did not
he would run his sword through him.
The barber was frightened and dare not
undertake the task. A little boy sit
ting there spoke up and said he would
do it. He looked up at the boy with
astonishment, but the boy stripped off
his coat and told him to take seat
He took off the officers beard without
drawing blood and was paid guinea
for his trouble. The officer then asked
him how he ventured to do it, as he had
been to every bsrber's shop in town and
no one before dared to do it. The boy
replied-'I thought should see blood as
soon as you would, and, if l had, l
would have cut your throat to the neck
bone in one moment The British OH
Ger hung down his head and left, amid
shouts Of applause for the boy

TIE PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.-In
the House of Commons, Mr.. Layard
asked whether in the event of the Gar
Withdrawing his troops from the Princi-
palities, he would be considered to be
placed In the same position as he was in
before the commencement of the war?
Lord John Russell explained-but the
explanation not being very clear, Mr..
Layard repeated his question in differ
ent shape. To the second interrogato-
Nv, Lord John Russell replied: al do not
know how l can explain the matter
further than 1 have already done
What we propose is, that the Principai-
ties should be evacuated by the Empe-
ror of Russia, and if he assent to that
request, and direct the immediate evac-
uation of the Principalities, of course it
will be then open to him and the Sultan
of Turkey to negotiate afresh, and to
the Four Powers to mediate, or in any
way to taxa part in such negotiations as
they see ft." Mr.. Lsysrd gave notice
that he would bring the question in a
definite shape before the House.
The preparations for war are unceas-
ing, but call for no special detail. The
workmen labor in the navy yards night
and day, and each ship as fitted hastens
to Join the rendezvous at Spithead.-
The crews of the fleets are practiced in
gunnery and naval maneuvres. No
day is appointed for sailing of the feet
for the Baltic. The Queen will review
the fleet ere its departure. In the land
service all is activity. Voluntary en-
listment keep the ranks full, and Gov
ernment is, on its part, doing all that
can be done for the good of the men.
An extra supply of underclothing is
neutrality-suspicious. of the best quality
medical and surgical attendance OF
the best that has ever been sent into the
feld;-spiritual consolation for different
sects is provided; and last, not least, as
an Englishman is not without his beer,
a contract has been entered into to sup
ply the camp in Turkey with the best
quality of porter at three pence per
quart-half price. Beyond this a pa
rental Government could not go.
