first instance of the transportation of live
animals by mails. But there is no telling

How to Commence Business.

Well, boys, we doubt not that you would
like to rise high in the world and become
good farmers, merchants. &c. Here is a
good motto for you, begin at ihc lowest
round on the ladder and keep climbing
and here is story which will illustrate just
what we want to say. One of the most
wealthy merchants Of New York city
tells us how he commenced business. lie
says:
| Il" entered store and asked If clerk
was not wanted. No. in a rough tone,
was the answer, all being too busy to both
er with me when 1 reflected that il they
did not want clerk they might want a
laborcr, but was dressed too fine for that.
went to my lodgings, put on rough
garb. and the next day went into the same
store and demanded if they did not want a
porter, and "No, sir was the response F;
when 1 exclaimed, in despair almost, "a Ia
borer? Sir, 1 will work at any wages
Wages is not my object; must have en-
ploy, and want to be useful in business
These last remarks attracted their attention
and in the end was hired as a lahorcr in
the basement and subccllar, in very low
pay scarcely enough to keep body and soul
together. In the basement and sub-cellar
| soon attracted the attention Of the count
ing house and chief clerks. l saved
enough for my employers in little things to
pay my wages ten times over, and they
soon found it out. did not let any person
about commit petty larccnics without re-
monstrance and threats of exposure if re-
monstrance would not do. did not ask
for any ten hour law. If I was wanted at
a. m, never growlcd, but told every
body to 60 home, 'and would see every
thing right I loaded off at daybreak
packages for the morning boats, or carried
them myself Tn short, I soon became in
dispensable to my employers, and rose
and rose until l became the head of the
house, with money enough, as you see, to
give me any luxury or any position mcr-
camille man may desire for himself and
children in this great ity."-Prisonor's
Friend.

@- During the late prevalence of the
epidemic at Norfolk, gentleman and his
wife were both removed by death, leaving
two fine little boys who were taken into the
Howard Asylum. The family were very
poor. Some articles Of old furniture, ap-
praised at $50, belonging to Mrs. Beekely,
were ordered by the Court to be sold for the
benefit of the children, aud were accordingly
sent to the auctioneers, to be sold.. Among
the articles was an old bureau with desk
drawer at the top, and for want Of the key
the desk was forced open previous to putting
it up for sale, upon the suggestion that it
might contain something Of value; and
such was the fact-for on opening it. the
pleasant discovery was made of $l50 in
gold, neatly tied up in a little bagl

Yours Truly.-Oliver Millikin is MS
much of a 'wag as a musician; and TO
make his waggery the more successful, "he
affects the dress and manner Of a clergy
man." With his white cravat and sober
black coat he makes not bad imitation.
He was at one of the hotels in Springfield
few weeks ago, and his decidedly clerical
appearance attracting the attention of the
company as they sat down to dinner, he
was called upon to ask a blessing. He did
not refuse, and got on very we'll for SEN
tence or two; but when he came toward
the conclusion, he found, as it was his first
attempt, that he was utterly unable to re-
member the usual manner of closing such
an exercise. After hesitating moment,
he rccollected the usual subscription of his
letters, and he brought his petition to a
close by adding, with great solemnity,
"Yours truly, Oliver Milikin!"

hands of an Executive of two persons only,
who can move without being seen or known
in the matter.
We regard this as a striking symptom Of
the revolutionary element in England. The
society has no namc-and no public office.
1t will be, if widely spread, one Of the
strongest, and be one of the most success

With such things afoot, the Allies may

Some Shaking.

Tom is queer genius, and lets off some
tall ones occasionally. lie visited US tho
other day in our sanctum, with a
allow do you do, old fellow."
"Hallow, Tom, said we, "wh.rc have
you been so longa"
why, sir, have been down on Seven
River, in Anne Arundel county, taking
Shanghae notes on the chiIls and fever"
"Ah, indeed" said we, are they very
bad down there ~
Rather 'bad,'" said Tom, drily. There
is one place, where they have been attempt
ing to build a brick house for eight weeks
well, the other day, as the hands were
putting up the bricks preparatory to finish
ing it, they were taken with chill, and
shook the Whole building completely down,
and kept on shaking till the bricks were
dust of the finest quality. Just at this
Juncture, the clills came on with renewed
force, and they commenced shaking up
the dust with such gusto that they were
entirely obscurcd for two hours. and the
people of the neighborhood thought the
sun was in an eclipse"
Can't believe anything like that,
Tom"
It's a fact" said Tom, and resumed:
"Theres a farmer down there, who, in
apple picking season, hauls his niggers out
to the orchard, and sets one up against
each tree. in short time the chill comes
on. and every apple i'll the orchard is shaken
off the trees on to the ground"
Incre'libe!" said we, holding our sides
with both hands.
"Fact," said Tom, "they keep man
alongside Of each negro, to take him away
as soon rs the fruit is off, for fear he will
shake the tree down"
Tom continued: "Mr. S., a friend Of
mine, and a house carpenter, was engaged
few days ago IN covering the roof of
house with shingles. Just as he WAS 'fn-
ishing,' the chill came on and he shook
every shingle off the roof. Some of them
are supposed to be flying about yet"
"Another gentleman near tile same
place, was taken with chill the other day
at dinner, and shook his knife and fork
down his throat, besides breaking all the
crockery ware on the table. His little son,
who was sitting at the table at the same,
time, was taken with chill and shook all
the buttons off his inexpressibles, and then
shook himself clear Of them !"
We then prevailed upon Tom to desist,
who did so, with the understanding that he
was to give US the balance at some other
time.
Persons who think Of cmigrating to
Anne Arundel county will please take
notice.

THE Plantation Garden.-The same.
amount Of land planted in anything else,.
would not do so well, as an acre or two,
devoted to n Plantation Garden. The num-
Der of vegetables cultivated. need not be-
large, for there are not great many veget--
bles Of which negroes ore fond. Cabbaee.,
snap beans, squasbes and onions, are gener-.
ally relislied by them, and they are raisedl
with very little trouble. We have often,
watched them as they sit down at nooD,. to.
a large dish Of good bacon and bread, and
bountiful supply Of these vegetables, andi
almost envicd the appetite with which hey
ate, and felt disposition to join in a frugal
meal. Our plan is to have dinner for all
hands cooked together, and the cook has
instruction, to gather every day, an abaa-
dance Of vegetables. which are served ouh
to them without limit. Besides being a
palatable, it is healthy addition to the al
lowance of bread, meat and molases, and
the cost of afording It, is mere tritis>
Now is the time to prepare the garden

"al right ends in literature are based upon
a desire to benefit mankind. I know this

with the suggestion, for it is not in this
field alone that the golden rule should be
practiced, it is everywhere and in every
condition Of life."
