The Shoe Blacks DOG.

An officer of the 18th regiment, who
had occasion to pass one of the bridges
across the Seine, had his boots which had
been previously we'll polished, dirtied by a
poodle dog brushing against them. He,
in consequence, went to man who was
stationed on the bridge, to have them
cleaned. The same circumstance having
occurred more than once, his curiosity
was excited, and he watched the dog
He saw him roll himself in the mud in the
river, and then watch for persons with
polished boots, against which he managed
to rub himself. Finding that the shoe
black was the owner of the dog, he taxed
him with the artifce--and after little
hesitation, he confessed that he had taught
the dog the trick. in order to procure Gus
toners for himself. The officer being much
struck with the dogs sagacity, purchased
him at a high price, and brought him to
England. Ho had him tied up in London
some time, and then released him. The
dog remained with him day or two. and
then made bis escape. A fortnight after
wards he was found with his former mas.
ter pursuing his old trade of dirtying
gentlemen's boots on the bridge.

Saturday Night.

What blessed things Saturday nights
are, and what would the world do with
out them? The breathing moments in the
march of twilight, when one thiHks Of
the old folks at home,' and the arm chair,
and the little brother that died, and the
little sister that was 'transplanted.'
The ledger closes with a crash: the iron
vaults come too with bang; up 90 the
shutters with will; click goes the key
into the lock. Ii is Saturday night, and
business men breathe free again.
Maybe you are bachelor, frosty and
forty. Then, poor fellow, Saturday nights
are nothing to you, just as you are nothing
to any thing. Get wife: get q home; no
matter how little, and little sofa, just to
hold two, or two and half in it on Satur-
day night, and then read this paragraph
by the light Of your wife's eyes, and take
courage.
The dim and dusty shops are swept up,
hammer is thrown down. the apron is ia
ken off, and the laborer hastens with a
light step, homeward bound
Saturday night!' family murmurs the
languishing, as they turn upon their couch.
and there is another to como.
Saturday night at last' whispers the
weeper above the dying! and il is Sunday
tomorrow

A Fine Thought.

At one of the late meetings of unen1-
ployed workmen, liz New York, one OF
the speakers said:
Let us bear in mind the Temple of Mi
nerva. When the Athenians built that
magnihcen: structure, statue was wanted
to be placed upon the top. A poor Me-
chanic was induced by his friends to COM
pete for the prize with favorite and
wealthy sculptor Of noble birth. The
day for raising the statue came--that of
the patrician was unveiled, and rapturous
applause greeted the revelation. But it
was in truth so small that as it ascended.
its beauty disappeared, and when it reach
ed the top it seemed but shapeless mass.
The statue of the poor Mechanic was next
unveiled. 1t seemed huge and uncouth,
and resembled nothing divine or human
But as it ascended its determines disap-
peared, and it grew more and more come
ly, and finally when it reached the top
seemed animated with divine beauty and
life. The poor Mechanic won the laIrel,
and was borne off amid the shouts of the
multitude.
Let us, l say, bear this in mind--if
among US there are men who appear rough
and uncouth, it is because we have not hft
ed them to that proud position they are
fitted to honor.

Read This.

You often hear people say, Il never
read the advertisements in a newspaper
L consider them great bore. and L have
often meant to stop my paper because it
contained so many of Them
Did it ever occur to yeu that the busi-
ness of your town and neighborhood was
represented in the advertising columns of
your local papers? Is the business of
the county of no interest to you? Let US
relate a fact showing where such men as
do not look over advertisements find them
selves occasionlly: A farmer took up
a yoke of cattle last fall, in Clayton coun-
ty He put the fact in the Times. The
owner of the cattle lived in Allemakee
and took the papers regularly, but he did
not read the advertisements, and so he
wandered over the country month or six
weeks, inquiring about the cattle, till
neighbor one day came to him. and la look
ing over the papers, which he had careful
y saved, found the description, and in
twelve hours his team was in his barn
yard
In our last issue we advertised the loss
of two Land Warrants; in an hour after
the paper was printed, the land warrants
were reported to US. The same warrants
were advertised in the Times six months
ago, but the loser was one of the men who
was too smart 'to read advertisements
We often get at facts of great interest TO
us by scanning the advertisements.-IO'aa

"A Fair OEar.

D.. Franklin made the following offer
to young man: Make said he, "a full
estimate of all you owe, and of all that
Is owing TO you; reduce the same to a
note. As fast as you can collect, pay
over to those whom you owe. If you can
not collect, renew your obligations every
year, and get the best securities you can
Go to business diligently, and be industri-
Gus; waste no idle moments; be very eco
nomical in all things; discard all pride; be
faithful in your duty TO God by regular
and hearty prayer morning and evening;
attend church regularly every Sunday, and
do unto others as you wonld wish others
to do unto you. If you are too needy in
circumstances to give to the poor, do what
else you can in your power cheerfully,
but, ii you can, always help the worthy
and untol tunate. Pursue this course dill
gently and sincerely for seven years, and
if you are not happy, comfortable, and
independent in your circumstances, come
to me and will pay your debts
Young people, try it.

We like an active boy one who has
the impulses Of the age--the steamboat in
him. A lazy. plodding. snail-paced chap
might have got along in the world fifty
years ago. but he don't do for these times.
We live in an age of quick ideas; men
think quick, eat, sleep, court. marry and
die quick--and slow coaches are not tole-
rated. 60 ahead, if you burst your boil.
err! is the motto of our age--and he sue
ceeds the best in every line of business
who has the most do or die in him.
Strive boys to catch the spirit of the
times; be up and dressed always, not ga
ping and rubbing your eyes as if you
were half asleep; but be wide awake for
whatever may turn up. and you will be
somebody before you die.
Think. plan, reflect as much as you
please before you act, but think closely;
and when you have fixed your eyes upon
an object, spring to the mark at once. But
above all things be honest. If you in
tend to be an artist, carve it in the marble:
if merchant, write it in your ledger
Let honesty of purpose be your guiding
star.

Beautiful AnccdOtc.

A happy illustration OF the wonderful
character of the Bible, and the facility with
which even a child may answer by it the
greatest questions, and solve the suppli-
ments of mysteries. was perhaps never bet
ter given than at an exhibition Of dea
and dumb institution, some years ago, in
London.
A little boy was asked in writing, who
made the world?' He took the chalk, and
wrote underneath the question, In the be-
ginning God created the heavens and the
earth.' The clergymen then inquired iu a
similar manner, why did Jesus Christ
come into the world?' A smile Of delight
and gratitude rested on the countenance ol
the little fellow as he wrote:
This is faithful saying and worthy oi
all occupation that Jesus Christ came into
the world to save sinners
A third was then proposed, evidently
adapted to call the most powerful feelings
into exercise:
why were you born deaf and dumb.

Rules for Home Education

From your children's earliest infancy,
inculcate the necessity of instant obedi-
ence
Unite frmness with gentleness. Let
your children understand that you mean
exactly what you say.
Never promise anything unless you are
quite sure you can give them what you
promise.
If you tell child to do something,
show him how to do it, and see that it is
done.
Always correct your children for will
fully disobeying you, but never punish
them in anger.
Never let them perceive that they can
vex you, or make you lose your self COM
mand.
If they give way to petulance and tenn
per, wait until they are calm, and then
gently reason with them on the improprie-
ty of their conduct.
Remember that little present punish
ment, when the occasion arises, is much
more efectual than the threatening of a
greater punishment, should the fault be re-
newed.
Never give your children anything be-
cause they cry for it.
On no account allow them to do at one
time what you have forbidden them to do
at another.
Teach them that the only sure and ca
sy way to appear good is to be good.
Accustom them to make their little re-
citals with perfect truth.
Never allow tale-bearing.
Teach them that self-denial, not self-in-
diligence, is the appointed and the sure
method of securing happiness.
Guard them against the indulgence of
an angry and resentful spirit.
If these simple rules were reduced to
daily practice by parents and guardians.
how much misery would be prevented,
how many in danger of being ruined
would be saved, and how largely would
the happiness of thousand domestic cir
cles be augmented.

Printers Proverbs.

/. Never inquire of the Editor for the
news, for behold! it is his duty, at the ap
pointed time, to give it unto thee without
asking.
g. When thou dost write for his pa
per, never ask him, what thinkest thou
of my piece?' for it may be that the truth
world offend thee.
3. 1t is not fit that thou shouldst ask
of him who is the author of an article up
on subjects of public concernment, for du-
ty requires him to keep such things to
himself.
4. When thou dost enter into print
ing Office, thou shouldest avoid loud talk
ing, and have care unto thyself that
thou dost not touch the type or the press,
for thou mayest cause the printer much
trouble.
5. Look thou not at copy which is in
the hands Of the compositors, for that is
not mete in the sight of the printer, and
he might knock thee down.
6. Never examine the proof sheet, fol
it is not ready 20 meet thine eye, that thou
mayest understand it.

Upright Men.

We like upright men. Pull them this
way and the other, and they only bend.
bat never break. Trip them down, and,
in a trice, they are on their feet again.
Bury them in the mud, and in an hour
they will be out as bright as ever. You
cannot keep them down. They are the
salt of the earth; and their works remain
long after their presence has ceased to
greet us here; and their virtues viii live
and bloom fresh in our memories, long af-
ter their earthly bodies have returned to
their native element. Who but they start
any noble object? They build our cities.
whilen the ocean with their sails, and
blacken the heavens with the dark curling
smoke of the swift running cars. Look to
them, young man, and take courage
L:arn to initiate their example, and catch
the spark of their energy. Should you at
first fail to accomplish that which you pro-
pose, be not discouraged ia consequence
of the disappointment; but redouble your
exertions to accomplish that or some other
noble object. Courage and perseverance,,
aided by patience and the other requisite
virtues, will inspire your final success.

To Keep Houses Cool in
Warm Weather.

The warm weather will soon be here,
and every one will be seeking the refresh
ing influence of cool and shady place
whereunto he can retreat from the blazing
sun. The Scientific American gives its
readers few hints concerning the cooling
Of their houses.
The first necessity is thorough draft
This can always be obtained by opening
every door and window in the basement,
the top of every window atove, and by
throwing each door wide open; but above
all, be sure that the trap door in the roof
is oren, and there is plenty of air from it
down the stairs, so that which ever be the
direction of the wind, there will be at least
one ascending current of air in the house.
Another requisite is shade. Our common
slat shooters answer well for the windows,
but the most cheap and convenient shelter
for the roof is to cover it thickly with
straw, dried reeds, or rushes. These will
resist the influence Of the MONDAY sun, and
keep the garret almost as cool as the base
ment. One of the most simple methods,
and at the some time cheapest means of
artifcially lowering the temperature of a
room, is to wet cloth of any size, the
larger the better, and suspend it in the
place you want ventilated, and the tempe
nature will sink from ten to twenty degrees
in less than an hour.
The above hints will be useful to many;
and as the last suggestion We will inform
the reader that, in summer it is well to
keep solution of the chloride of lime in
the house. and occasionally sprinkle it
in the more frequented parts, as the pas
sagcs and stairs.

TO Make Home Interesting.

Every time your husband comes in up
and tell' him about them yaller dishes the
hired girl broke, tell him that the but
ter he sent home is strong enough to pull a
steamer up the Mississippi; that the beef
steak which he bought arrived just in time
to get up fight between the Maltese cat
and old Stubb's dog, which terminated in
the loss of the steak and gain of two
ounces of cat and dog hair--assorted. AS
soon as this strikes in tell him that the
wood is out, and that the bill for coal has
been sent in again. If you could throw
in here few hints about your wanting
new dress, and add to this that the hand
some young officer has been here this
morning. and that he is SO agreeable, the
effect will be electrical.
Wives who like TO have their husbands
staying out late, and coming home with
their breath smelling of hot toddy and ci-
gar smoke, should Gu. the above out and
practice it.

Rc-Shingling Old Roofs.

A writer in the National Era recon-
mends the following plan for re shingling
old roofs:
Whenever roof begins to leak, and
you wish to re-shingle it, do not take of
the old sbingles--put the new shingles on
the top of the old ones, but make use of
fourpenny or shingle nails. The advan-
tage Of this method is:
You will save the expense of removing
the shingles.
The building will not be exposed to the
wet, in case of rain before it is finished
The roof will be much warmer and
tighter.
Neither snow nor rain can beat under
the butts of the shingles, by heavy wirds
The roof will last good full one-thlrd
longer.
1t should be done before the old shingle:
are too much decayed. All the moss (l
any should be removed, or swept off with
a stiff broom, before putting on the new
shingles.

The Hoosier & the Salt Pile
BY DANFORTH MARBLE.

I'm sorry says Dan, as he knocks the
ashes from his regalia, as he sat in small
crowd over glass of sherry. at Florence's
New York, one evening. I'm Sorry that
the stages are disappearing so rapidly:
never enjoyed life SO we'll as in the slow
coaches. Eve made good many pass
ages over the Alleghenies, and across the
Ohio, from Cleveland to Columbus and
Cincinnati, all over the South, down East,
and up North, in stages, and l generally
had good time.
When passed over from Cleveland to
Cincinnati the last time in the stage. I'met
a queer crowd. such corps, such time,
you never did see: never was more anus
ed in my life. We had a good team, ard
one of those drivers you read of. There
there nine insiders, and I don't believe
there was ever stage full of christians
ever started so chock full of music.
There was beautiful young lady going
TO one of the Cincinnati Academies; next
to her sat Jew pedder-for Cowes and
market; wedging him in was dandy black
leg, with jewelry and chains around his
breast and neck enough to hang him.
There were myself and an old gentleman
with large spectacles, gold-headed cane,
and jolly, solderipg-iron looking nose;
by him was circus rider, whose breath
was enough to breed yellow fever, and
could be felt just as easy as cotten-velvet.
A cross old woman came next, whose look
would Lave given any one the blues before
breakfast; along side was real backwoods
preacher, with the biggest mouth ever got
up since the flood. He. was fanked by the
low comedian of the party, ar Indiana
Hoosier, 'gwine down to get an army con-
tract for supplying the forces, in Mexico,
with beef,
We rolled along for some time. nobody
seeming inclined to open The old aunty
sat bolt upright, looking crab apples and
persimmons at the hoosier and preacher;
the young lady dropped the green curtain
of her bonnet over her pretty face, and
leaned back in her seat to nod and dream
over japonicos and jumbles, pantalets and
poetry; and the old gentleman, proprietor
of the Bardolph nose, looked out at the
corduroy and the swashes; the gambler
fell off into doze, and the circus covey
followed suit. the preacher and myself
6s a-vis. and saying nothing to nobody
Indiana stuck his mug out of the window
and criticised the cattle we now and then
passed by. was wishing that somebody
would give the conversation start, when
Indiana made break
This amt no great country for stock,
said he to the old gentleman with the gold
headed cane.
No. sir says the old gentleman; there
is very little grazing. and the range is pret-
ty well worn OUT
Then there was nothing said again fol
some time. By-and-by, the hoosier opened
again.
It's the d-dst place for turkey buz-
yards and persimmon trees, ever seed.'
The old gentleman with the cane didn'
say nothing. and the preacher gave long
groan. The young lady smiled through
her veil, and the old lady snapped hel
eyes, and then looked sideways at the
speaker.
Don't make much beef here, l reckon
said the hoosier.
/ No. says the old gentleman.
