The Sword Of NAPOLEON,

The sword worn by Napoleon b.

Austria, in 1900 was purchased by
the Emperor Nicholas in IS50-just

and bloody battIe-lor the enormous
sum Of S32,000i To Nicholas, a
sword worn by so distinguished a
soldier, in a battle that lasted four
teen hours-and victory waved on
each side four times-in which sixty
pieces Of cannon were alternately
won and lost and finally carried by
the French, possessed a value in his
eyes that could not be estimated
in dollars and cents. 1t was ,pur-

Art of Printing.

Mentz, in Germany, is entitled to
the honor of being the birth place of
printing. Strasburg and one or two
other cities have laid earnest claims
to the preference, but historians now
generally concedeit to Mentz. Gut
tenburg invented and first used-xseps'
arate letters or moyeable types in
l442. AS early as 1923, he had
printed With lines cut en wood, but
this was a small mechanical advance
on what had been done for many
years. Xylographic printing, or the
taking of impressions from wooden
tables on which letters or figures
we're engraved, had previously been
pract;ced in Germany, and was an
eastern invention. Guttenburg at
first took impressions from his types
by fastening them on a table, color
ing them with writing ink, spreading
The paper over them and pressing it
With rubber of horn. Faust In
vented printing ink, and Guttenburg

Iron presses we're early employed

TOBACCO SCARCE IN VIRG1NIA.-A
large manufacturer of tobacco in
Danville, Va, states that his hands,
numbering three hundred, are unem-
ployed now, it being impossible to
get tobacco for them, il consequence
ofthe dryness of the season. The
Richmond Dispatch says that the
amount of tobacco brought to that
city is unusually small, owing to this
fact.

With thy wild and liquid piping,
Read my riddle pray.

All his grace to see.

Lest the winds should hear my secret
Does he love me, say9

Watchest over him,

On my easement dim.

AN ITEM ABOUT CeFFEE.-It may
not generally be known that the
trade in Java coffee is a monopoly
held by the Netherlands Trading So
eiety. All the coffee produced on
the Island Of Java therefore passes
through the hands of that company,
and the value of this exclusive trade
may be estimated by the fact that
there is to be sold at auction, in the
company's name on the 3lst inst.,at
Amsterdam, 226,694 bags Of coffee,
and on the 3rd of April, at Rotter-
dam, 166,562 bags, making 393,Q56
bags, TO be sold almost Simultaneous
ly. This, by the way, is the Meth
erland's Trading Society which pro-
poses to enter upon the direct cotton
trade with the south.

large, and unless there should be an
extra demand, it must go down still

Then when affliction dims that eye,
And o'er it casts shade,

You seem to love me now.

Our very hearts shall thrill,
To blight this snowy brow, and all,

Thou lov,st me, for what? because

For the gold that round me glitters,

This glittering gold away,

Thy love will soon decay. :.
OH love me not for this, nor yet
For beauty's brightest gem;
sTis something that must wither, like
The rose upon the stem.
,Tis true, it may one moment add,
To life some little bliss;
Yet, tits feeting as the dewy morn,
Oh. love me not for this.
But love me for an honest heart.

More beautiful, more lovely, than
Earth's richest diadem.
And love me for treasure,

Like this earth's unhallow'd pelf,
But is lasting in its nature, as

CHARACTER BETTER THAN CREDIT.

CHARACTER BETTER THAN CREDIT.
We often hear young men, who have
small means, dolefuly contrasting their
lot with that OF rich men sons. Yet
the longer we live. the more we are con-
vinced that the old merchant was right
who said to us when we began life -
"lndustry, my lad, is better than ingots
Of gold, and character more valuable
than credit We could furnish, if need
were. from our own experience. score
OF Illustrations to prove the truth of his
remarks. In all branches of business
in all avocations, character, in the long
run, is the best capital. Says Poor
Richard The sound of your hammer
at five in the morning, or nine at night,
heard by creditor, makes him easy six
months longer; but if he sees you at a
billiard table, or hears syour voice at IL
tavern, when you should be at work. he
sends for his money the next day. -
What is true Of the young mechanic, is
true also Of the young merchant, or Of
the Young lawyer. Old and sagacious
firms will not long continue to give cred
| it for thousands of dollars when they
see the pur; haser, if young man driv-
ing fast horses or hanging about drink
ing saloons. Clients will rot intrust
their cases to advocates. however bril-
liant. who frequent the card.table, the
wine party, or the race-course. 1t is
better, in beginning life. to secure repu-
tation for industry and probity, than to
own houses or lands, if, with them YOU
have no character.
A f,cility OF obtaining credit at the
outset is often an injury instead of
benefit. 1t makes the young beginner
too venturesome, fills him with dreams
Of too carly fortune tcmpts him too
much to neglect hard work, forcthought.
caution and economy. Excessive capi-
tai is as frequently a snare to young
man. 1t has almost passed into a prov
erb, in consequence, that the sons of rich
men never make good business men,
To succeed in life we must learn the
value of money Bat superfinity of
means at the outset is nearly certain
method Of rendering us insensible to its
value No man grew rich wno had not
learned and practised the adage. '.if you
take care Of the pennies the dollars will

tory Of our pursuit, and other qualifca.
tons. which all persons of experience
look for, are necessary to give the world

right metal. Capital may be lost. but
character never. Credit once gone. the
man without character fails. But he
who has earned a reputation for capaci.
ty, integrity and economy, even if he
loses his capital. retains his credit. and
rises triumphant over bankruptcy itself.
A man with character can never be ruin

should seek to secure, and it may be
