sllck to some one pur.uit.

There cannot be greater error than to be
frequently changing ones business. II any
man will look around and notice who have
got rich and who have not out of those who
have started in life with him, he will find that
the successful have generally stuck to some one
pursuit.
Two lawyers, for example, begin to practice
at the same time. One devotes his whole mind
to his profession. lays in slowly stock of legal
learning and waits patiently, it may be for
years, till he gains an opportunity to show his
superiority. The other, firing OF slow work,
dashes into politics. Generally at the end OF
twenty years, the latter will not be worth pen
ny, while the former will have handsome
practice, and count his tens Of thousands bank
stock or in mortgages.
Two clerks attain majority simultaneously.
One remains with his former employer, or at
least in the same line of trade, at first on a
small salary. The other thinks it beneath him
to I'LL a subordinate position, now that he has
become a man, and accordingly starts in some
other business on his own account, or under
takes new firm in the old line of trade. Where
does he ends Often in insolvency, rarely in
riches. To this every merchant can testify.
A young man is bred n mechanic. He ac-
quircs distaste to his trade, however; thinks
1t a tedious way to get ahead, and sets out for
TUG Ncet UT NauiOTHlu. ISut III most cases, tue
same restless disconnected, and speculative spir.
II which carried him away at first, renders con.
tinnous application at one place irksome to him;
and so he goes wandering about the world
sort of sem.civizcd Arab, really vagrant in
character, and sure to die nsolvent. Meantime,
his tellow.apprentice, who has stayed at horle,
practicing economy and working steadily at his
trade, has grown comfortable in his circum-
stances, and IS even, perhaps, a citizen of
mark.
There are men of ability in every walk of
life. who are notorious for never getting along.
Usually it is because they never stick to any
one business. just when they have mastered
one pursuit, and are on the point Of making
money, they change 1t for another which they
do not understand; and in a little while what
little they are worth is lost forever. We know
scores OF such persons Go where you will, you
viii generally hnd that the men who have failed
in life are those who never stuck to one thing
long. On the other hand, yo.r prosperous man,
nine times out of ten, has always stuck to one
pursuit.

MAs SHOT IN MILwAUKEE.-Yesterda after.
noon, about P. NJ, man was arrested in the
Fifth Ward, for disorderly conduct, and put in
charge OF Policemen Meyer, to be conveyed to
the watch house. As the officer and his prison
err were on sheir way, the carriage in which they
were riding was attacked by six or eight men,
the driver beaten, the officer overpowered, and
the prisoner rescued. Hereupon number of
persons in The street, and several officers, came
to the help of Meyer, recaptured the prisoner
and drove off his rescuers. One OF them, an
Irisiiman named Michael Portal, was pursuedby
officers Hack and Smith, into the Third Ward.
They followed him through house into yard,
where he picked up'an axe and defed the Off
GERS. Smith told him to drop the axe or he wo'd
shoot him; and ON Portall's persisting in his
threatening attitude, and knocking one of the
officers down with the axe, Smith drew his re-
volser aud shot him. Tie wound was serious
one, and Portal was sent up to the Hospital I'M
mediately. One or two OF the officers were more
or less hurt IN the trucas.
p. S.-We learned last night that Portal was
likely TO die of his wound, aud that officer Smith
had surrendered himself, and was in custody OF
the SheriT.-Milwaukee Sentinel, Yesterday.

attached 10 the watch. He said she returned
the iocket, thinking il might be valued on ac
count Of associations and would have returned
the watch, but there was such a small amount OF
capital in the purse, that it would not pay for
the trouble he took, so the watch had to be sold
to @pay expenses" He says he likes editors, and

now hardly the possibility of doubt bit that
every soul OF the ill.tated John. v Aver has
found watery grave. The messenger Dispatch
ed to st. Joseph by the owners Of the Aver,

and were picked up by Mr.. ], G, Smith, who
resides IN thatlocality. There alsocame ashore
IN the desk OF the captain, portsmouth, con-
tanning SCI in bank bills, razor aud case,
miniature of woman and child and several
other articles. The boat ofthe Aver also drift
ed on shore the day before yesterday, about
tso miles of ST. Joseph, and had been brought
TO that place,
From the papers found it is ascertained that
the Following seamen shipped at Buffalo, Sept.
soth, to Chicago and back, and are among the
lost; Charles Anderson, James Donley, Rich
ard berry, Thos Cook, Patrick Troy and Peter
henney. Capt. Thomas AeClanning, and the
nrst and second mates, names unknown, are al.
so lost The Aver had made but one trim, and
was therefore nearly new. and reckoaed first

insured for $4,000, with an Insured freight
list OF $1,000. She was owned by Col. B. s.

About two weeks ago, two sons of Mr. j. S.
Willhoi,e, of Monterey, III Owen county, XIV,
one ten years old and the other eight, rode their
fathers hosse.to the Kentucky river to water
The horse plunged in and attempted to swim
across the river with both the boys on his back.
When near the middle OF the river, they tried
TO turn the horse back towards the other shore.
This made him capsize, and both the boys slip
ped off into the water, and the horse left them
As they slipped OH, the elder said to the Young
err, Hold on to me, and I'll swim out with Won"
He did hold on, and the other actually swan out
with him on his back-draggng at the same
time through the water tin bucket which his
brother had strung by the bail upon his arm-

Smith suffered most horrible death at Smith
land, in Woodbury. county. He was engaged
as sawyer in the new steam mill at that place,
and whilst gigging back the carriage, got his
foot caught by the saw, which split his leg near
ly the whole length before he could withdraw
it, then, by an uncomfortable destiny, his body
fell across the log before the saw and was sever

fact, cutting the body in numerous pieces, which
were gathered and deccntly inferred.
