Of the Havana lottery arrived, and strange as
it may appear, the ticket selected by the APP
proving wag of the aligator,s tail was down
for the $40, 600 prize The story may APP
pear improbable, but it is no more strange
than true, as several respectable merchants
ON Carondelet street, who are familiar with
the facts, and the members of the CONNER
cial firm on Camp street, where the money
has since been deposited can attest. Indeed,
we have the story from the lips of one nearly
related to the unIucky yet lucky jarvis
Nor did the luck of the alligator hanter end
with the drawing Of the prize. Recently, as
is well known, exchange on Havana has been
commanding haudsom premium, and Jarvis,
through one of his relatives, received for his
ticket not only the $4,000 it called for but
premium of $3.50 besides.
Who will hereafter say that the tail of an
alligator is not thing of wisdom? With
this philosophic query our tale shall end

THE PRINTER BoY-The Pttsburg Morning
ARIEL under this caption, gives short story
of distinguished citizen of Pennsylvania, as
follows:
Some thirty years ago a barefoot boy
foated down the Susquehanna river on an
humble raft and arrived at Harrisburg, Penn
syvana He came from the north, and be-
longed to a large family; all his worldly
goods were tied up in little pocket-hand-
kerehief He sought and obtained employ
ment in printing Office, as an appreltice.-
From an apprentice to journeyman, from a
iourneyman to a reporter, then to an editor,
the bare-footed printer boy worked away
against obstacles which struggling poor only
know. The persevering follower in Frank
/ Inns steps began to realize the fruits of toll
and prvation. The young aspirant became
printer to the State, and by frugal man
agement was soon enabled to accomplish the
object dearest to his heart-the establish
ment of his mother in home above want
in possession of every comfort she could de-
sire.
His brothers were next his care and, like
| Napoleon, he had strong arm with which
to aid then-an indomitable perseverance
that nothing could long successfully obstruct.
In few years, they, too, with his sisters,
were independent of the world; the once
barefooted printer boy was in possession OF
affluence, surrounded by a young and affec-
tionate family. He was the friend of the
friendless, patron of merit, and encourager
of industry. He rose in honor and Office
until the barefooted boy who entered print
ing Office in Harrisburg, hungry and weary
laid down his bundle on pile of wet paper
and asked to become printers apprentice
was elected Senator to Congress. This mai

SPEAK KINDLY TO THY Young
man, speak kindly to your mother, and
courteously, tenderly, of her. But little
time and you shall see her no more forever.
Her eye is dim and her form is bent, and her
shadow falls towards the grave. Others may
love you fondly; but never again while time
is yours, shall any ones love be to you as
that of your old, trembling, weakened mother
has been. Through helpless infancy her
throbbing breast was your safe protection
and support; in wayward, testy boyhood, she
bore patiently with thoughtless rudeness;
she nursed you safely through legion of ills
and maladies
Her hand pathed your burning brow, or
moistened your parched lips; her eye lighted
up the darkness of nightly vigils, watching
sleepless by your side as none but her could
watch Oh, speak not her name lightly, for
you cannot live so many years as would suf-
flee to thank her fully. Through reckless and
inpatient youth she is your counsellor and
solace Through manhood she guides your
steps to Improvement; nor even then forsake
or forget. Speak gently, then, and rever-
emily, of your mother; and when you, too,
shall be old, it shall in some degree tighten
the remorse which shall be yours for older
sins. to know that never wantonly have you
outraged the respect to your aged mother.

On one occasion Marshal Bosquet, the
hero Of the Malakon, when Colonel in AL
giers, despatched sous-lieutenant to execute
a commission but through want of ability or
from error in comprehending, he performed
it completely contrary to orders. When he
rendered his report the Colonel gave way to
his anger, and struck him with his riding
whip severe blow. Quick as thought, the
young officer drew a pistol and snapped il
close to the head Of his superior officer
Luckily the cap was wet and did not explode
or Bosquet would never have lived TO become
Marshal of France. All the spectators
trembled with emotion. The officer waited
to hear the order for his arrest, but he did
not wait long.
Lieutenant" said the Colonel, calm as a
summers day, you will suffer forty-eight
hours confinement for having your arms in
bad condition"
