My First Lesson.

Wherever there are great collections of pee- pie, there are always bad and foolish people among them. Itwas so at Bridgeport, where the State Fair was held, few weeks ago. Outside the grounds behind of within tents or booths, were many who gambled, and led oth- CTS to do so. Now, it is very simple thing to gamble, so simple, and often it appears so fair, that many boy is led to take the first step before he knows it.
 There was behind one of the oyster stands circle of men and boys; on the ground sat poor, degraded, dissipated man, poorly clad, and looking sick and weak He held in his hands several iron rings, and before him was board with large nails driven in it, which stood upright. A clcar-faced, brght-eyed, handsome little fellow stepped up to him. He was just such boy as is prompt at day school, ard always has bis lesson ut Sunday School. He showed this in his face, as he stepped mp to the man, and said, "What's that for ?'
 Give me cent, and you may pitch one of these rings and if it catches over nail I'll give you ssr cents."
 That seemed fair enough, so the boy handed him cent, and took a ring. He stepped back to stake, tossed the ring. and it caught on one of the nails.
 "Will you take six rings to pitch again, or six cents ?"
 Six cents" was the answer and two three cent pieces were put into his hand, and he stepped off we'll satisfied with what he had done, and probably not having an idea that he had done wrong.
 A gentleman standing near had watched him, and now, before he had time to louk about and rcjoin his companions, laid his hand on bis shoulder .----..'..
 My lad, this is your first lesson in gam bling"
 Gambling, sir ?'
 Yes, did"
 " You did not earn them, and they were not given you you aeon them just as gam- 6fers arm money. You have taken the first step ill the path that man has gone througl, 1t, and you eau see the end Now I advise you to go and give him his six cents back, and ask blm for your penny, and then stand square with the world an honest boy again."
 He hung his head down, but raised it quick. y, and his bright open look, as he said, "I'll do it, ," will not be forgotten He ran back, and soon emerged from the ring, looking han. pier than ever. He touched his cap and bow ed pleasantly as h: ran away to join his con- rades . That was an honest boy. [Ssleeted.

Bones,

boiling and calcining establishment is sit uated on the Jersey side of the Hudson, six teen miles above New ' ork, and nearly oppo- site Yonkers. To collect the bones from the rag and bone pckers, there are employed in this one establishment, eight horses and four carts They commence their rounds as early as seven in the morning, and by one o'clock the collections are deposited in the vessel that is to take them from the city. Thigh bones of bullocks are of most value, as they are the ouly ones fit for a turner's use : they are for tooth brushes, the curve of the bone giving the desired shape to that indispensable article for the toilet. They are worth from ten to twelve cents each. The jaw honcs rank next and are worth SIS thousand. The "short" bones, as they are termed, such as leave the family table, are worth from 4t to 50 cents a basket. To give some idea of the amount of money paid for boncs,- when we consider the humber engaged in the business of bone-boiling exclusive of the Barren Island business this one house pays for bones alone an average of one hundred dollars a day. K The fore leg and hoof are usually bought by manufacturers of glue, Peter Cooper being the heaviest purchaser of that kind of offal and when they are done with, they are sold to the
 
 bone dealers for two cents pound. The hoofs are disposed of at the rate of $40 tnn, and afterwards are made into horn buttons and Prussau blue. Horse hoofs and sheep hoofs and horns are sold for $15 a tun On the ar rival of the bones at the factory, the thigh and iaw bones are sawed so as to admit of the removal of the marrow. They are all thrown into vast caltlron, and boiled until all the ,uattor and fatty cutSf ancoc otfoahad fn fhou, arc thoroughly extracted. The fat is then skinned off aud placed in coolers and the bones are deposited in heaps for assortment.
