Don't Trust.

Fifty years ago Grant Thornburn was
standing behind his counter in his little
grocery on Broad St., New York, when
man entered little the worse fol
liquor, and called for a glass of something
to drink, saying at the same time thai
he had no money, but would "pay to-
morrow"
"My rule is never to trust" said Mr.
Thornburn.
I'll pay you certain" " exclaimed the
stranger.
"There is no use of croaking. can't
break my rule, replied the imperturba-
BILE little Scotchmsn.
"Well. if you amt willing to trust
me, here's Bible for security" said the
man, taking from his pocket a beautiful
quilted bible.
81 take nothing for security but cash,
SIR" replied Mr. Thornburn.
The man gazed at the diminutive form
of the little trader in astonishment and
then turning his head left the store ex-
claiming:
"Well yer little dried up mackr'l, if
yer cant take my word nor the word OF
God, yer can go to the devil. and try
him."

The First Saw Mill.

The old practices in making boards was
to split up the logs with wedges; and in.
convenient as the practice was, it was nc
easy matter to persuade the world that
the thing could be done in any better way
Saw mills were first used in Europe in the
fifteenth century; but so lately as 1866. al
English ambassador. having seen a saw
mill in France, thought it a novelty which
deserved particular description. 1t i;
amusing to see how the aversion to la
Dor saving machinery has always agitated
England. The first saw-mill was estab.
lished there by Dutchman. in 1868, but
the public outcry against the new-fangled
machine was SO violent that the proprie-
tor was forced to decamp with more ex-
pediton than ever did Dutchman before.
The evil was thus kept out of England
for several years, or rather generations;
but in 1898, an unlucky timber merchant
hoping that after so long time, the pub
lie would be less watchful of its interests
made rash attempt to construct anoth,
er mill. The guardians of the public
welfare, however, were on the alert, and
a concientious mob at once collected ant
pulled the mill to pieces.

Hard 10 Beat.

One of the Juveniles, though consider
ably advanced, presented himself, not
long since, for admission to a public
school near Dry Dock. He was shown
q seat and in the course of the morning
the master resolved to enter into little
examination of the youths capacities
and knowledge, prior to assigning him
to class. Calling to the b'hoy to stand
up:
"Do you know any thing about gram
MARI"
81 don't anything else," said the boy
every well. Now attend. In the
beginning God made the world. Parse
world"
All the b'hoy knew of grammar was
that he had heard that very morning
from the classes reciting around him
but he had been taught, that when h,
was fighting in the dark he must strike
straight out the shoulder, right and left
and all would be right.
"Parse world?" he, draweld out, in
quiringly, so as to gain time.

Drawing IsatiOns.

Not long ago, farmer, who did not
reside so far IRON camp Of the boys,
as he wished he did, was accustomed to
find every morning that several rows Of
potatoes had disappeared from his field.
lie bore it some time, but when the last
half Of his field Of kidneys began to dis
appear, he began to think that it had
gone far enough, and determined to stop
it. Accordingly he made visit to
camp early next morning, and amused
himself by going around to see whethe
the soldiers were provided with good
and wholesome provisions He had not
proceeded far when he found boy jus
serving up a fine dish Of Kidneys whicl
looked marvelously like those that tn,
good wife brought to his own table
Hating the following colloquy ensued:
'Have fine potatoes here seel'
"Splendidr" was the reply.
"Where do you get them?"
"Drew themp
"Does the government furnish pota-
toes in your rations!"

"Did we just do that thingr'
"But how. if they are not included in
your rations?"
Easiest thing in the world! Won't
You take some with us?" said the soldier,
as he seated himself at the table oppo-
site the smoking vegetables.
''Thank you! But you will oblige
me by telling how You draw your pota-
toes, ,as they are not found by the commits
sary?"
Nothing easier. Draw 'em by the
tops mostly! Sometimes with hoe, il
oneis left in the field"
"Hum! Yes! / understand! Well,
see here! If you want to draw any more
of mine, will bring you basket every
morning, and draw them myself"
"Bully for you, old fellow !" was the
cry, and three cheers and tiger were
given for farmer Smith. The covenant
was entered into, and no one but the
owner drew potatoes from that field af-
forwards.

DECLINE IN THE SLAVE TRADE.-A gen.
tleman just from Cuba reports that every
steamer from the Northern States brings
persons heretofore engaged in the slave
trade, whose business has been ruined
by the United States Marshals. These
men throng the cafes and liquor houses,
and express the strongest disgust at the
name of Murray. They declare that the
officionsness of the American govern
ment has deprived New York of one Of
her richest sources of wealth; that her
first citizens had embarked capital in
the slave trade and realized handsomely
1t is said that slave brig, recently equip
ped at Liverpool, obtained clearance.
and sailed without being detected by the
authorities.

PRAYER FOR THE UNION.

Lord write this law on every heart:
"Our Union, now rs ever !"
For Thou hast taught us thro' Thy Son,
That those whom Thou hast Joined in one
No human hand should sever
The hero.souls, whose prophet dreams
Shine out in classic story,
Find here, at last, the "promised land"--
The shrine of Freedoms glory,
Our hallowed flag of stars and stripes,
What mem'ries brighten DER it
The hope of millien's yet unborn
Fen despots bow before it
Lord ! write this law on every heart
"Our Union, now and ever ~
For Thou ddst teach us thro' Thy Son,
That those whom Thou has Joined in one
No human hand should sever
The serpent crept in Ewes pure heart,
And by his cunning won it
Woe !! woe unto our Eden land
The scrpent's trail is on it !
A million hands by madness neryed,
Would strike their common mother
A million souls cry out for blood
The blood e'en of brother.
Oh, God to whom our fathers prayed
In bonds of sweet communion,
Stretch forth the strong, Almighty hand,
To still this tempest in our land,
And save our blessed UNION

The CRops IN 1RELAND.-Files by the
Fulton contain very extended reports on
the harvest prospects in Ireland. The
main points are: The wheat crop has
turned out thin and light, so the yield
will not equal an average, but its quality
is good. of barley and oats there are
good accounts, but the green esculents are
Indifferent. With respect to potatoes
the blight was still committing great raw
ages, especially among the earlier kinds
and it was feared that probably one hal
of the crop would be destroyed.

CHAPTER VI.

"NOW cOiueh lHe uS -ShCh S"'i"'
When Caleb left the tickle Pheeb e. it
was with determination never to see her
again. He would be a wanderer. lie
would land on other lands. climb foreign
climes-he would go and be an ancient
mariner. Filled with this desperate re-
solve, he sought his boarding house, put
on clean shirt and collar in cotton va
lice, and started for the river. A gallant
tug lay at the dock, which he boarded,
and requested to see the captain. A sailor
whose voice was deeply bronzed by ex
posure to the tropbic of barley corn, ap
peared at the maintop mizzen gangway
and informed him that the captain wa
engaged in the cabin. He was beinI
presented with bosom pin and gol
headed cane by ferryman who wa
about to retire from Office. The presen
tation was wholly unexpected.
After considerable delay, Caleb wa
invited to descend. When he entere
the Cabin, he WAS struck with the youth
full and delicate appearance of the captain
He was about to tell him that he ha
come to ship before the-well, smokes
tack, when the supposed captain raise
his cap, and shower of corkscrew curl
fell upon her shoulders.
