IN THE RIGHT PLAcE.-A young man, whose bluntness was such that every effort to turn him to account in linen.draper establishment was found unavaiing, received the customary notice from his employer that he did not suit and must go.
 |" But I'm good for something" remonstra- ted the poor fellow, 10th to be turned into the street.
 You are good for nothing as salesman any how" retorted the principal regarding him from business point of view.
 $ I'm sure can be useful" repeated the young man.
 How? Tell me how"
 " don't know, sir don't know'
 " Nor do IT, and the principal laughed, as he saw the eagerness the lad displayed.
 Only don't put me away, sir don't put me away. Try me at something besides selling :; 1 cannot sell. know that I cannot sell'
 know that, too that is what there is wrong.'
 But can make myself useful, somehow I know I can."
 The blunt boy, who could not be turned into a salesman, and whose manner was so little captivated that he was nearly sent about his business. Was accordingly tried at something else. He was placed in the counting house, where hts aptitude for figures soon showed it. self, and in few years he became not only the chief cashier in the concern, but eminent as an accountant throughout the country. Boys, be sure and be good for something. g."-Relig- ious Herald

THE KING's MIsTAKE.-Some of our excha,

THE KING's MIsTAKE.-Some of our exchan. ges have revived the following old but good story:
 A number of old politicians, all of whom were seeking office under the government, were seated at tavern porch talking, when a toper named John D.. person who is very To- quacious when cornered, but exactly the oppo site when sober, said if the company had no objection, lie would tell them a story. They told him to " fire away" whereupon he spoke as follows
 A certain king-I don't remember his name had philosopher upon whose judgment he always depended. Now it happened that one day the king took it into his head to go hun ting and after summoning his nobles and making the necessary preparations, he sum moned the philosopher and asked him if i, would rain. The philosopher told him it would not, and he and his nobles departed.
 While journeying along they met country man on jackass. He advised them to re turn |" tor,' , said he, "it will certainly rain." They smiled contemptuousy upon him and pissed on. Before they had gone many miles, howev- CT, they had reason to regret not having taken the rustic's advice, as, heavy shower coming up, they were drenched to the skin.
 When they had returned to tn palace the king reprimanded the philosopher severely.
 " met countryman," said he, "and ho knows a great deal more than you, for he told me it would rain, whereas you told me it woalt not"
 The king then gave him his walking pa pers and sent for the countryman, who made his appearance.
 " Tell me-" said the king, "how you knew it would rain r
 |" didn't know" said the rustic, |" my jack ass told me."
 And how, pray, did he tell you ?' asked the king.
 By pricking up his ears, your majesty" re turned the rustic
 The king sent the countryman away, and procuring the jackass of hm, put him (he iackass) in the place the philosopher haG filled.
 " And here,' observed John, looking very wise, is where the king made great mis take"
 " How so P inquired his auditors eagerly
 Why, ever since that time," said John with grin, Y" every jackass wants an ofice!'

LADIES DREssEs.-'"rhe most earneek afkorta looking toward dress reform have had reier. ence to the length of the skirt. May I bs permitted word on this point think one of woman's first duties is to make herself as beautiful as possible. A long skirt-a trail even is in fine taste. Among the dress features of the stage none is 50 beautiful as the trail. The artist is ever delighted to introduce 1t in bis pictures of woman. I confess admire it, and that wish it could be again made com. mon on all dress occasions. For the drawing room it Is said that expense and inconvenience are involved. l ask, are they not in painting, etc. When we meet on dress occasions can. not see wEy we may not introduce this exquis- ite feature.
 '' For church and our usual afternoon sit,
 ings. skirts which touch the floor seem ko mo to be in good taste and every way proper 1: but for the street, when wet,' snowy or muddy. fnP the active duties of housekeeping, which ip. volve much running upstairs, etc., I need not argue with those whose brains are not befo,. ged by fashion, that their skirts should faII Q about the knee. If Miss Fastidious sueZestg that the adoption of such costume would sx- pose the limbs. you have but to point to what may be seen in wet weather along the streets. The attempt to lift long skirts ont of the mud. displays the lower extremities much more than the short skirts. Nothing is more pitiable than the street exhibition, except perhaps, wo- mans attempt to go up stairs with . candle in one hand, baby in the other, and a bowl of catnip tea in the other.-Dr. Lescis.

HE DOESN'T TAKE 7HE PAPERs.-1he last line of the following stanza IS rather long for a melodions jingle, but tile moral of the whole is sublime
 The man who doth no paper take,
 Grudging one dollar year,
 Will never good husband make,
 Because his wife can never know what
 is going on in the world, and his children
 will very ignorant appear.
 ONE OF THE BoTs--A man, in stopping bis paper, recently wrote:
 '' think folks doarnt ort to spend thare muny on papers, my father dint an evry buddy sed he wos thee snartest man in the kountree an had got the intelligentist family of buoyss that ever dugg taters."
 A lady in Nashville was making a visit to the pententiary. and was permitted to look through the various wards. In one room she Saw three females engaged in sewing, and turning to the keeper. who was showing her about, said to him in an under tone Dear me! the viciouses looking women ever saw in my life. What are they put there for ]! y are here,' he replied, because l am here-they are my wife and daughters, madam But mada am was travelling out as soon as possible.
 An frishman in descri ping America said {" I'm told that ye might roll England thru it, an it wouldn't make dint in the ground : there's fresh water oceans inside that ye might drownd ould Ireland in {; an as for Scotland ye might stick 1t in a corner, an ye'd nivir be able to find 1t out, except it might by the smell O whiskey.'

A MATTER OF BUs1NEss.-Several years ago l was practising law in one of the beautiful towns of Wisconsin. One very warm day while seated in my office at work, 1 was inter rupted by the entranc. of boy, the son o one of my clients, who had walked into town six miles in blazing sun, for the purpose oi procuring Bible. He had been told, he said that there was place there, where they gave them away to people who had no money, and was very anxious to get one of the good books and asked me to go with him to the place where they were kept. Anxious to encourage him in his early piety, left the brief on which l was engaged, and went with him to the stand of the old Presbyterian deacon who had the much coveted book in charge. I introduced him to the deacon, telling him the circumstan- ces. He praised the boy very highly; was delighted to see young man so earnestly seeking after the truth, etc., and presented him with the best bound book in his collection. Bubhy put it in his pocket, and was starting oil, when the deacon said:
 Now, my son, that you possess what you so much desired, l suppose that you feel per fectly happy"

AuTUAN.-lt has been we'll said that Nature loves to tis in bright colors" The frost has nss sstened the maturing of the leaf harvest, and the foliage, that began to look 'sere and vel low Tn the last month, is now all aAame with the brilliant hectic flush that heralds the clos ing scene. Look out upon these October woods sp sadly beautiful, and yet never more full ot p omise and Efe than when life seems to be depsr, ing. Here stands grand old maple ,ev- cry leaf faded, as We say, but really frightened with all the cheerful hues in the whole circle of colors- flaming scarlet, crimson, pink, vio- let, and yellow. It seems to have caught all the graces of the sunset hour, and like the god of day to make the last scene the most glorious of all.
 In the harvests gathered at this season, we see the wisdom and benevolence of the Crea- tor. providing for man and beast. 'These wait upon Thee, that Thou mayest give them their meat in due season. In the fruits and grains gathered in Summer we have juice and starch preponderating to meet the wants of the ami nal nature, amid heat and drought. In the nuts and corn we find oil largely concentrated, preserving them from decay ,and furnishing the most desirable food for the cold and dreary Winter. Instinct teaches the squirrel, and many other tribes of animals, to lay up these oily stores, either in holes in the earth, or in tue hollows of decaying trees anG rocks They have full supply of the richest food all through the Autumn months, and their bodies are lined with thick coat of fat, to protect them against the cold. Thus they go into Win ter quarters, fully provided for all emergencies.
 The same provisions meet the higher wants of the human family. Reason takes the place of instinct, builds granaries and store houses, secures them from frost and rain, wherein we hoard our Winter stores. Many of the veget- able oils pass through refining process, and become animal products, before they are deem- ed it for use. Thus butter is a concentrated oil from many grassea and herbs and mutton, beef, and pork are only different forms of sup plying the aliment for Winter use In the great grain of our ,untry, indian corn, it is a noteworthy fact, that the proportion of it's oil IS measured by the latitude in which it grows showing, by analysis, the most oil in Canada where the cold is most intense, and the least in Florida, where the reign of Summer is hald.y broken. The wants of our physical natures demand larger supply of oleaginous food ir cold climates, and the necessity is met. Thus there is in Nature fulfllment of the promise of strength according to our day."-Anon.

The Voice of Autumn.


 The Voice of Autumn,
 BYw c. BRYANT. There comes from yonder night A soft repining sound, Where forest leaves are bright, And fall, like flakes of light,
 To the ground. It is the autumn breeze That, lightly floating on, Just skins the woody leas, Just stirs the glowing trees,
 And is gone. He moans by sedgy brook, And visits with sigh, The last pale flowers that look From out their sunny nook,
 At the sky. Ger shouting children flies That light October wind, And kissing cheeks and eyes, He leaves their merry cries
 Far behind. And wanders on to make That soft uneasy sound By distant wood and lake, Where distant fountains break
 From the ground. No bower where maidens dwell Can win moments stay; Nor fair untrodden dell; He sweeps the upland swell,
 And away. Mournest thou thy homeless state, Oh, soft repining wind? That early seek st and late, The rest it is thy fate
 Not to find. Not on the mountains breast, Not on the oceans shore, In ali the east and west, The wind that stops to rest
 Is no more. By valleys, woods and springs, No wonder thou should'st grievs For all the glorious things Thou toushest with thy wings,
 And must leave.

The leading article of the Independent last week, says:
 :" A journey to Washington has quickened our faith in the government. Unlike year ago, the atmosphere of that city now braces hope and courage. Men now going there can come away bringing with them an augmented confidence in the great resources of the gov ernment, and in the fidelity with which these are applied to the uses of the war; All the blunders all the tardiness, all the red-tape cannot quench the great fact that the govern ment has set its heart and soul upon putting down the rebellion and that the rebellion will be put down. One cannot talk an hour with the President without feeling that whoever else may doubt the issue of .he war, Abraham Lincoln doubts not at all. Not naturally a sanguine man, he yet believes that he is now shutting his hand upon the prize of victory. When sober minded men feel enthusiasm, and slow-going men feel that the end is near, and over-cautious men like MT. Lincoln feel confi- dent not only of to-day but of tomorrow, let the country at large be doubly confident that the crown of triumph is within reach, and that the Presidents hand will pluck it,
