A Jack of all Trades.

A druggist lately advertised for a
clerk, and among the applications
was a tall, awkward looking fellow,
apparently twenty years of age,
coarsely dressed, without stockings,
and a skin as rough as that Of a rli-
noceros. After staring awhile at the
splendid bottles and other things that
attracted his notice, he broke out:
"Are you the drugger of this es-
tablishment 2"
81 am the druggist, sir" replied
the owner.
"Well, l thought so as soon as
came in, said the fellow, " | know a
thing or two, for all look so. I've
been readin' in the newsprints about
how you are in want of a clerk, and
thinks |, as soon as | cast my eye on
it, now that place will suit me to Q
hair. And SO I've come right away
up here to make a bargain"
Have you been bred to the bust.
ness 2"inquired tile druggist.
81 can't say as have exactly" re-
piled the lout, but have been bred
to iarmin', and | have q brother that
can cut wood like a hoss-which, |
'spose, will answer all the same"
Z" But" said the druggist, " | should
like to get a man that understands
something of the business"
4" Why, for that matter" returned
the fellow, 81 could soon learn--I'm
purity ingenious feller about anything
l undertake. Why, it's only last win
ter | made whole new pig trough out
of my head. What do you think Of
that, sir2"
81 suppose you found the stuff al
read fitted to your hands. But | i'm,
agine that it is easier for you to make
a pig trough than a druggist"
"Try me, then, and see," said the
pOrsevering applicant. 4" You don't
know till you try. Now, what will
you wager | can't tell you what's in
that ERE round bottle in the winder ?"
81 am not in the habit of betting"
said the druggist, but l doubt very
much whether you can tell"
"You won't bet, eh 2" replied the
fellow, then I'll tell you without The
stuff that looks so blue in that ere
bottle is hydrcstic muriatic problem
atic-genetatic acid. l larnt that ofthe
doctor of our town. Don'tyou think
now, sir, I'm purity ingenious schol-
ara"
81 must say you have given a very
fair specimen" replied the owner OF
the shop, but as it takes some years
to learn the druggists business, l
think you had better engage in some
thing which you can understand more
readily"
d" You think l had, eh 2" said the
fellow with a mortified look. He then
stood musing for awhile, and drum
ming on the counter, when all Of
sudden, seeming to have caught a new
idea, he burst out, Begingo, Mister,
| b'lieve you are right, and now |
think ont I'll go this minute and see
i'll can't geta place in a I!re,y stable!"

WOUNDED VANITY.--St. Chrysos-
tom says that even good kings arc not
exempt from feeling which the St.
himself appears to consider rather
natural than otherwise. lie adds,
that the very best of them like to be
aided, but not to be excelled. We
have an example OF this in the Gar
Nicholas and General Mouravief.-
At a sham fight, the Gar and the
General commanded opposite divis-
ions OF the Russian army; the Auto
crat bade the Commander look to him
self, for he would assail him vigor-
ously; Mouravieff let him come on,
fled, and caused the Gar to be deligh-
ted with the prospect of gaining a vic
tory in the eyes Of his holiday people;
but Mouravief'so skilliully y vancouver
ed that, by a well, timed charged, he
enveloped the Gar and Imperial staff,
and took them prisoners. Nicholas
kept him at a distance for some years,
and hated him forever.-DF. DOTaR.

A GENTLEMAN was once dining will
a friend, when a most dreadful storm
arose. In hopes of its abatement the
entertainment was prolonged to the
latest possible hour; but at length it
was over, ard the storm showed no
signs of ccaSing, but, on the contrary,
grew worse and worse. The host in
sisted upon his guests acceptance Of
a lodging for the night, in view of the
impossibility of reaching his home.
The guest complied, but in a few
minutes was missed from the parlcr.-
In haitian hour he reappeared, drench-
cd with rain.
"Where, in Heaver's name, have
you been 2" asked the host, viewing
the singular object, which looked like
a dog without paws, and a weeping
willow about his head.
"Il" said he, quietly shaking of
the water 81 have been at home to
tell my wife that, as it was such q
bad night, Ishould not return"

tg"An English laboror, whose child was sud
denly killed by the falling of q beam, wrote the
following lines, suggested by the melancholy
event. They are touchingly beautiful
Sweet, laughing child, the cottage door
Stands free and open now;
But, oh! its sunshine gilds no more
The gladness Of thy browl
Thy merry step hath passed away,
Thy laughing sport is hushed for ayel
Thy mother by the fresido sits,
And listens to thy call
And slowly slowly as she knits,
Her quiet tears down fall;
ITor little shindering thing" is gone,
And, undsturbed she may work on!

MY BROTHER.
By EMMA ALICE BROWN.

By EMMA ALICE BROWN.
Oh, bnar-rose Chamber
And cover the chamber
The chamber so drcary end lone
Where, with meekly clOs'd lips
And eyes ir eclipse,
My brother lies under tho stone.
Oh, violots, cover,
The narrow roof over,
Oh, cover the window and door
For never tho lights,
Through the lOng days and nights,
Make shadows across the toorl
The lilies are blooming, tho lilies arc white,
Whore his play haunts used to be;
And the sweet cherry blossoms
Blow over the bosoms
OF birds in tho old roof tree.
When L hear on the hills the shout ofthc storm
In tho valley tho roar Of the river,
/ shiver and shake on the bearth-s stone warm,
As l think of his cold "forever."
His white hands arc folded and never again,
With the song of the robin or plover,.
When the summer has come with the bees and
her grain,
Will he play in the meadow Of clover.
Oh, dear little brother,
My sweet little brother,
In the palace above the sun,
Oh, pay tho good angels,
The glorious ovangels,
To take me-when life is done.

A gentleman named Lyon, from
Canada, was driving a cutter along
the road, short distance from Rut-
land, Vermont, on Thursday, when
he was accosted by a rough looking
fellow on foot, who asked him for a
ride, which was granted. Soon after
the fellow grabbed him by the throat
and robbed him Of $1,000 and cs-

pillow at night, and you will be clean
shaved in the morning"
