How He SAVED IT.-A military man "down
east" knowing he could be elected to captain
cy if he would consent to nomination, called
upon a neighbor who had formerly served in
that captaincy, to ascertain if the office was one
of pecuuiary profit Being told by the retired
veteran that he had held the Office for five years,
and saved five hundred dollars, he gladly ac-
cepted the nominations, and was chosen captain
of his company. After some three years cam
paigning in the way of company trainings"
and general musters," finding his Office to be
heavy bill of expense, instead of source of
profit, he called on his old friend again for in
formation as to how he had saved five hundred
dollars, while he himself lost one hundred dol
lars, by the same Office? "Why," replied the
old captain, 81 was worth just one thousand
dollars when was elected held the Office FIVE
years, and lost five hundred dollars by it {; 50 l
resigned and saued the other .fue hundred"

which he swallowed, not SO much in the graft
fcation of hunger, as in the hope Of obtaining
some strength. Scattered along the river were
old fire-places, where the Indians had roasted
muscles and acorns; but though he searched
diligently, he did not there succeed in finding
either. He had collected fre-wood for the night
when he heard at some distance from the river
the barking of what he thought were two dogs,
and walked in that direction as quickly as ne
was able, hoping to find there some Indian hut,
but met two wolves and, in his disappoint-
ment, the gloom OF the forest was doubled.
Travelling the next day feebly down the river
he found five or six Indians at the huts. of which
we have spoken some were painting themselves
black, and others roasting acorns. Being only
one man, they did not run of, but received him
kindly, and gave him welcome supply of
roasted acorns He gave them his pocket-knife
in return, and stretched out his hand to one of
the Indians, who did not appear to comprehend
the motion, but jumped back, as if he thought
he was about to lay hold of him. They seemed
afraid of him, not certain as to what he was.
Travelling on he came to the place where he
had found the squaws. Here he found one fire
still burning, and the tracks of horses. The
sight gave him sudden hope and courage; and.
followinga as fast as he could, joined us at even

of our readers, while they peep

IvoRY.--Few of our readers, while they peep
so bewitchingy over the tips of their ivory fans,
or ply their fingers so nimbly and gracefully
over the white keys of the piano, are wont to
cast thought towards the manner in which
this material is procured, the quantities of it
which are annually used, and the number of
noble animals which are yearly slain for the
purpose of supplying the constantly increasing
demand. Mr. Dalton, celebrated Sheffield
manufacturer, estimates that the annual con-
sumption of ivory in the town Of Sheffield alone
is about $50 tuns, equal in value to 100000,
and requiring the labors of 500 persons to work
it up for trade. The number oftusks to make up
this amount of ivory or $1,000; and according
to this the number Of elephants slaughtered
every year for the supply of the Sheffield market
is 22,5OO. But supposing some tusks to be cast,
and some animals to have died o natural death,
it may fairly be estimated that 10000 are kill
ed for the purpose.

A correspondent of The Boston Courier tells
how Daniel Webster offered himself to the wo-
man of his choice:
"Mr. Webster married the woman he loved
and the twenty years which he lived with her
brought him to the meridian of his greatness. -
An anecdote is current on this subject, which is
not recorded in the books. Mr.. Webster was
becoming intimate with Miss Grace Fletcher,
when the skcin of silk getting in a knot,
Mr.. Webster assisted in unraveling the snarl-
then looking up to Miss Grace, he said: We
have united knot don't you think we could
tie one p Grace was a little embarrassed, said
not word, but in the course of a few minutes
she tied knot in piece of tape and handed it
to Mr.. W. This piece of tape, the thread Of
his domestic joys, was found after the death Of
Mr.. Webster, preserved as one of his most pre-
cious relics"

SIMPLICITY neighbor of ours not long
since introduced to his son, about six years of
age, a little brother, who had just arrived in
this world, which all agree in abusing but none
like to part with, even in exchange for better.
The boy looked at his infant brother in some lit
tie perplexity, and then raising his eye to his
father, inquired-"Where did you get it p
" Bought him, my son. exclaimed the father,
with laudable gravity. Again the boy looked
at the baby, and after short time sagaciously
asked, "Why didn't you pick out white one,
father ?"-Albany Knickebocker.
