A YOUNG man, in making his first en-
france into society is so ignorant as to
imagine he is the object of universal
attention, and that every thing he does
is subject to the most rigid criticism.
Of course, under such a supposition, he
is shy and embarrassed; he regains his
case, as he becomes aware of his insig,
nificance.

How TO SERVE A SUBPGNA-A cor
respondent Of the New York Nems gives
the following account Of novel expe-
dent resorted to By sprig of the law
near Genessee:
"A law suit was to come off in town,
and young Spooney engaged to subpoena
the witnesses. The roads were almost
impossible on account of the Eud, and
two of the witnesses lived some three
or four miles away. A bright idea
struck his muddy path, and forthwith
was acted upon. He sat down and
wrote each letter, stating that sum
OF money was deposited in his hands,
which they could have by calling upon
him. They called, and got a subpoena
and twelve ana half cents each Ru-
NOR says there was profane language
used in that vicinity, about that time"

LIFE OF AN ENGINEER.-The life of

LIFE OF AN ENGINEER.-The life of
a railroad engineer is graphically de-
picted in the following extract from the
Schenectady Star: "But the engineer
he who guides the train by guiding
the iron horse, and almost holds the
lives of passengers in his hands-his is
life of mingled danger and pleasure.
In little seven by nine apartment,
with square holes on each side for Win
dows, open behind, and with machinery
to look through ahead, you find him
He is the "Pathfnder; he leads the
way in all times of danger, checks the
iron horse, or causes it to speed ahead
with the velocity of the wind, at will.
Have you ever stood by the track, of a
dark night, and watched the coming and
passing of train Away off in the
darkness you discover light, and you
hear noise, and the earth trembles be-
meath your feet. The light comes near
or, You can compare it to nothing but
the devil himself with its terrible whia-
tie; the sparks You imagine coms from
Beelzebub's nostrils-the fire under
meath, that shines close to the ground,
causing you to believe the devil walks
on live Goals.
1t comes close to you, you back away
and shudder, you look up, and almost
on the devils back rides the engineer ;
perhaps the machine shrieks, and you
imagine the engineer is applying the
spur to the devils sides A daring fell
low, that engineer-you can't help say
ing so, and you wonder wherein lies the
pleasure of being an engineer. But so
he goes, day after day, night after night.
Moonlight evenings he sweeps over the
country, through cities and villages,
through fairy scenes and forest clear
ings. He looks through the square
holes at his side and enjoys the moon
light, but he cannot stop to enjoy the
beauty of the scenery. Cold, rainy,
muddy, dark night, ii is the same Per
haps the tracks are overAowed with wa
ter; perhaps some scoundrels have plac-
ed distractions in the way, or trees
been overturned across the track; and
in either case is almost instant death
to him, at least; but he stops not
Right on, is the word with Lin, and on
he goes, regardless of danger, weather,
and everything, save the well doing of
his duty. Think Of linn, ye who shud-
der through fear in the cushioned seats
of the cars, aud get warm from the fire
that is kindled for your benefit"

for the purpose of more efectually as
pertaining the business of other people
Generally. 1t already has attained
large membership, it says, and promises
10 become fourishing institution. The
following are some Of its rules:
"Any member of the society who
shall be convicted of knowing more of
his own business than another's, shall
be expelled from the society without q
hearing.
No member shall sit down at his
own table until he has ascertained, to
certainty what his neighbors within
three doors have to eat-whether they
have paid for the same, or if they ex~
pect to.
every member who shall see two or
three persons engaged in conversation
shall place himself between them until
| he has heard all they have to say, and
report the same accordingly.
Every member who shall see a gen
tleman visit lady more than twice,
shall circulate tAe news that they are
| to be married; and said members are
required forthwith to report all manner
of things about the gentleman to the
lady, and ditto about the lady to the
gentleman. This will break up match

GIVE HIM TRADE.-If Education
is the great buckler and shield Of human
liberty, well developed Industry is equal
ly the buckler and shield of individual
independence. Asan unfailingresource
through life, give your son, equal with
good education, a good, honest trade.
Better any trade tAan none, though
there is ample field for the adoption OF
every inclination in this respect. Learn
ed professions and speculative employ
ments may pail a man, but an honest
handicratt trade, seldom or never-if its
possessor chooses to exercise it. Let
him feel, too, that honest laborcrafts
are honorable and noble. The men OF
trades-the real creators of whatever is
most essential to the necessities and
welfare of mankind-cannot be dispens-
ed with; they, above all other, in what
ever repute they may be held by their
more fastidious fellows, must work at
the oar of human progress, OF all is lost
But few brown handed trade workers
think of this, or appreciate the real
position and power they compass.
Give your son q trade, no matter what
fortune he may have or seem likely tc
/ inherit. Give him a trade and educa-
tion-at any rate trade. With this he
can always battle with temporal want
can always be independent-and better
is independ 9nee with a moderate educa-
ton, than all the learning of the colleges
and wretched temporal dependence
But in this free land there can be ordi-
narily no difficulty in securing both tie
education and trade, for every youth
thereby fitting each and all to enter the
ranks of manhood defiant of those OBJ
stacles which intimidate so many trade
less, professionless young men. Such
are the peculiarities of fortune, that nc
more outward possession can be counted
SO absolutely secure or protective to
man. Hoarded thousands may be swept
away in day, and their once possess
ors left will neither the means Of indie
pendence or livelihood
He was a Scandavian King, who de-
creed that his sons must learn useful
trades or be cut off from their expected
princaly fortunes. They demurred, but
obeyed the decree The eldest, as the
easiest trade to learn, applied himself
to basket making. In time he reigned
in his fathers stead. In time, also
revolution came upon, and overthrow
him, and he fed disguised, wandering
and companionless save his wife and
children, his sole resource for liveli-
| hood was recurrence to his humble, but
honest and useful trade.
The sons of the rich as we'll as the
poor, should be strengthened by this
possession. If never used beyond the
learning, no harm is done-while posi-
bly, it may be Of incalculable good. II
is a weapon of assault, of defence, which
once fairly seized, can never be taken
from mans grasp. Think of it, pa
rents; examine your boys dumps
or rather study the "bcnt of THEN
minds" and tastes,-and as one of the
best and most lasting services you car
do them, apply them to learning honest
trades.

NAPOLEoN's RESIDENCE AT ST. He
LENA-The Monitear de J. Armee in an
nouncing that Longwood, the residence
of Napoleon at St. Helena, has been
given up by England to the French
Government, adds some details relative
to the measures which will be adopted
for the repairs and proper keeping of
the repairs and proper keeping OF the
place. The Emperor Napoleon Ill,
has, it is said, decided that this place,
marked by s01cenirs so dear to France,
shall be repaired and kept in good con-
dition under the direction of some old
superior officer of the French army who
had served under the first Empire, and
who will have for his residence at St.
Helena the house which was in course
of construction for the Emperor at the
time Of his death. This officer, select
ed on the proposition of the Minister of
War, will have the official title of Con-
servator Of the house and tomb of Ma
poleon l., St. Helena. The necessary
repairs are to commence Immediately.
The tomb will be restored such as it
was at the period when it contained the
precious remains of the great man, and
funeral chapel will be built on the
site of the dilap:dated house which was
his last asylum and in which he died.
All the spots which have been immor-
talized by his presence, the hillock on
which he used to sit down and contem
plate the sea, the place where he die
tated his memoirs, the part of the road
where he used to stop in his rides, &c,
will be marked by some construction.

A Coon ONE.-The following good
one is from the Toledo Blade
1t is said that Tom Corwin, as he is
Familiarity called, was once trying case
in which he was opposed by the late
Dir. Writ, when the latter tried a most
novel mode of discrediting the evidence
of COrwin's chief witness, On whose ac-
curacy and discrimination every thing
turned by showing that he was per
son of astonishing credulity.
Wirt-"Have you ever read Robin
son Crusoe ~
Witness-"Y es."
Wirt-"Do you believe it all p
Witne8S-"Well, yes, Squire, don't
know but what do
The same answer was returned as to
Gulliver's Travels and several other
works of fiction, Corwin all the while
fdgeting and getting hot. Presently
Mr. Writ, considering the man entirely
hattened out, resigned him with bland
smile.
Mr.. Corwin said he had only one ques-
ton, and put it.
Corwin-"Have you read Wirt's Life
of Patrick Henryl'
Witness-''Yes."
Corwin-'Do you believe it all p
Witness-"Why, no, Squire. | can't
quite 60 hat."
The following is, perhaps, the mean
est thing ever written:
Why was St. Paul like horse? Be
cause he loved Timothy.
