This caution is applicable to all, but
more especially to young men; and the
incident we are about to relate is one Of
so forcible a character that we think it
will be productive Of good.
Two young clerks in large American
and French house were particularly init
mate; so much so, that, although they
boarded in different houses, yet they were
constantly together during the hours Of
recreation from business.
One of them had been presented with
little French poodle, and he at once set
about instructing 1t to perform all those
little tricks for which the breed is famed.
For some days his companion witnessed
his pcrsevering efforts to make "Grotto"
bring his handkerchief, catch pennies,
stand upon his hind legs, and do many
other trihing but amusing tricks. At
length he got tired of being a locker on
at so much waste of time, and determined
whilst his friend was being the tutor Of
"Grotto," he himself wUNS& 90 <sv pupil
of French teacher, and endeavor 10
master the French language by the time
Grotto's" education was completed.
Without saving word to his friend, he
commenced his studies, and being dill
gent, fast acquired knowledge Of the
language; he also improved from hearing
gooI deal of French spoken in the store,
though he carefully avoided uttering a
word. At length "Grotto" was finished.
and had acquired knowledge of on infin-
ite number of amusing tricks, and his
owner, prided himself no little on his nc.
quirements.
The owner Of "Grotto" was q little the
senior Of the other in the store, and oil
course ranked him in promotion. One
morning he came out Of the private room
Of the principal member Of the firm, and,
looking very much downcast, said to his
| friend:
"Tom, the firm wants to send one Of
the clerks, this summer, to France, u
buy goods, and they have offered the
chance to me, provided l could speak
French; but as "Oui" is about the extent
Of my French. it's no go for me. Whal
fool ! was for not studying it when
was boyl"
Well" said Tom, "whOse chance il
next" ----.----- ---- ---.----------
"Why, yours, of course. Hs, ha. ha

with delight, and inwardly ohuckled q

BEFOREHAND. Prof. Hart, In an address
before Society in the Pennsylvania Col
lcge, treating of the mistakes of educated
men, makes the following comparison:
1t is an important element OF success in
life to acquire the habit Of being before
hand with whatever you undertake. |
can, perhaps, best illustrate what | mean
by an example taken from another branch
Of the subject. There are two friends,
gentlemen of large means, whose estates
and whose annual incomes are about
equal One Of these is always short Of
money, buys everything on credit. and on
the longest credit he can command often,
when travelling, has to borrow money to
take him home, and really has TO make as
many shifts and turns to get along as il
he were poor. All simply because he
lives twelve months OH the wrong side Of
his income. The other man, whose an
nual expenses and income are about the
same as those of his neighbor, never has
an open account, buys everything for
cash. always has plenty of money in his
pocket, and plenty more in bank, and is
apparently without care in the world so
far as money is concerned. All simply
because he lives just twelve months on
the right side Of his income. The two
men have equal resources. In the course
of their lives they spend about equal
amounts. Yet the one is always poor and
harassed, the other is always rich and at
his ease.

THE RBwARD.-At Worms, when Lu-
ther bad returned, forsaken and dispirited,
to his hotel, servant entered, bearing a
silver vase filled with refreshing beverage,
Inc Offering of the aged Duke Eric, et
Brunswic, powerful lord 6efonging to
the Pope's party. AS the great Reformer,
touched deeply by the kindness, drank, he
said:
"As on this day Duke Eric has remem-
bered me, may the Lord Jesus Christ re-
member him in the hour Of his last
struggle"
The servant took back the message to
his master. The aged Duke called to
mind these words at the moment Of his
death, and addressing a young man who
stood ut his bedside said: --
"TAke the Bible and read to me-"
The youth read the words Of Christ,
and the soul of the dying man took cOm'
fort: 4" Whoever shall give you cup d
cold water to drink, in my name, because
ye belong to Christ, verify, say untc
you, he shall not lose his reward"

skesA1Rap4ssees' -i1pr -e.41ssu1E-.--1
the following advice in regard to the safe
handling Of firearms
When the gun is charged, never allow
the lock to be in any other state than at
half cock, except at the moment Of firing.
The reasons Why this rule should Be
adopted and religiOusIy observed are
briefly these: The lock is 90 constructed
that when At half-cOck provided it 10 good
for anything, and no other should ever be
used), il cannot be moved from that point
towards the cap TO explode it in any pos.
sible way. You may strike it violently,
and it will not yield till the lock itself
breaks in pieces. II, by any accident, it
is moved in an opposite direction, it must
60 back until 1t Is fully cooked, and must
remain there until the trigger is touched.
II it does not 60 back to that point, it
cannot. possibly. in returning, pass the
point Of its irst position-that Of half
cock-unless the trigger is touched at the
moment, which would seldom, il ever,
happen.
Many sportsmen are in the habit Of
carrying the gun Eat the cock" even
when in company with others, as well as
when alone. Should a twig touch the
trigger, should the sportsmau stumble
and fall, or strike heavy blow with the
breech against tree, the gun explOdes !;
it may be harmlessly, or perhaps at the
expense Of life or limb. Never cock the
gun until the moment before firing
Again: others are under the erroneous
impression that the safest way is to carry
the hammer down upon the cap. The
truth is, that Is the most dangerous way
of all. When the hammer Is pressed up
on the cap, the jarring caused by the Va.
rious movements in handling the gun is
constantly bringing the percussion pow.
der to such state that very slight tap
upon the BANNER will explode il. New
this Is precisely the way in which almost
all the accidents happen BY which so ina
ny wounds are inflicted and lives lost by
the sudden explosion Of firearms.
l earnestly hope that the few hints
above will be Of service to those who are
desirOus of learning how to use gun.
1t is trite, but nevertheless true saying,
that "it is hard t0. cure old dogs Of their
tricks" Old sportSmen will follow their
old habits, but to young spOrtsmen |
would say, adopt the following short rules,
and | will insure you as much safety as
can be expected from the use Of an Instru-
meat at all times dangerous:
/. When the gun is not charged, al.
ways put the hammer down upon the
nipple. 1t relieves the main spring and
preserves its strength.
2. When you load, bring the hammer
to half.cOck, charge the gun, and let the
putting on Of the cap be the last opera
tion. Press it down lightly With your
fingers, and not by carrying the hammer
down upon it .-.... ,--..
8. Never cock the gun until the mo-
ment before firing.
4. In all cases, whether alone or in
company, while hunting, keep the gun at
half-cOck, and never on any sccOunt put
the hammer down upon the cap.
8. 1t is better, on setting the gun aside,
first to discharge it; but if you will or
must leave it loaded, be sure to leave it
at halfcock, and with the cap plainly to
be seen.
