Employment.

For upwards of three years past, | have
been engaged in business, which has yielded
me at the rate Of Three Thousand Dollars per
annum, but being dcsirous of going to Europe
in the course of few months for the purpose
of there introducing the business am willing
to teach il to any one who will send me One
Dollar. The business is no humbug, but Of a
highly useful and general character, adapted
both 20 cities and villages, and one that any
person of ordinary capacity, young or old,
male or female, can acquire with a few hours
practice, and by which they can secure very
handsome income. Several young ladies who
have received instructions from me, both III
New York State and Pennsylvania, are earn
ing upwards of Fifteen Dollars per week by it,,
aud there is no reason why any one else can
not do the same Invalids, even. can do well
by it, as it is no peddling affair, but business
that is perfectly respectable. Gentlemen and
ladies of leisure who would like to learn the
business for their own amusement or pleasure,
will find the practice of it a pleasant pastime,
and one that they will take great interest in.
On receipt of One Dollar will send printed
instructions by which any person can readily
acquire the art, and these instructions will
also contain every particular relative to the
carrying it on so that it will be highly profit
able The purchaserof the ''printed instruc-
tioGsn will also be authorized to teach it to
others: and have sometimes received as high
as Two Hundred Dollars for teaching 1t per-
sonally to a single individual. | would state
further, that Two Dollars and Fifty Cents or
Three Dollars will buy everything that Is
necessary to commence the business with,
and the articles can be got almost anywhere,
in city or country, or, if preferred, can fur
nish them. Address,

This is great country for jokes, and VIC
have just heard one that is too good TO keep.
Early one morning there were added to our
company Of travellers pair that looked very
much like runaways; the gentleman a tall,
raw boned specimen of the "half horse,
half-alligator" class, and the lady fair
match for him. Among the passengers from

Ups and Downs.

The proverb says 1t does not rain but it
pours' The German Prince Prince Chris
tian, of Schleswig- IIolstein Sondenbourg-
Glucksburg, who has been prince of Den
mark, by adoption, since july. 1858, must
feel the truth of this adage. There he was.
with wife and six children, living on the
bounty of the King of Denmark, which affor-
ded him exactly the yearly sum of 81 500,
and house rent free. The poor man must
have found it hard to make both ends meet.
But as if a benehcent fairy had come in. and
waved her magic wand, sudden change
took place. The eldest daughter becomes
Princess Wales, with every prospect of one
day becoming Queen of England, and the
second son is elected and proclaimed King of
Greece. There is even whisper that the
second daughter, row in her sixteenth year,
and trife 'o'er young to marry yet, is des-
tined to wed Casaravicht, and one day be-
come Empress of Russia.
Since the advance of the Cobourg family,
European history shows nothing like this.
In 1916, when Prince Leopold of Saxe-Co-
bourg married the Princess Charlotte of En-
gland, his Princely income was exactly 81 500
per annum-and when Prince Albert, his
nephew, married Queen Victoria his income
was the same. Albert, who was penurious,
even to meanness, saved s.. 900, 900 in twen-
ty two years, and Leopold, subsequently mar
rying a French Princess became King of
Belgium, which post he has ereditably filled
for over thirty years Moreover, the Cobourg
family have become matrimonially allied to
the proudest reigning houses in Europe.
The Holstein Danish branch, to which the
Princess of Wales and thenew King of Greece
belong, is likely to be equally fortunate The
expenses of the late royal wedding, to be paid
by John Bull, as seperate item, may be set
down at Sl20, 900. 1t is possible that the
brides family, all of whom attended the
bridal, (at special cost of aforesaid John
Bully have scarcely yet recovered from their
surprise at the exhibition of wealth in En-.
gland on that occasion. The gold plate used
at the marriage feast in Windsor Castle is
valued at $40, ,00G 900, and the presents made
to the bride at 81. 500, 600. At present it is
clear the star of Holstein is in the ascendant.
As a moral compensation, that of the house
of Brandenburg.. is in the decline; for if the
King of Prussia does not mind what he says
and does his tenure on the throne will be
brief indeed. If anything can add to the
merited unpopularity Of this crowned BRUTE
it is his royal determination to deliver up
to the Russians the Polish chiefs who sought
refuge and hospitality on Prussian soil. This
is a breach of honor, manly feeling and hu-
manity almost without parallel in the history
of Europe. Austria, more absolute power
than Prussia, refuses to betray the patriots
who trusted in her. and has given Langie
wicz an asylum at Vienna.

General Grant.

The appended potrait of the Victor Of
Vicksburg, from the New York Times can
but prove interesting just now. Speaking
of the galaxy of Major and Brigadier Gen
erals, commanding tie Union forces around
that stronghold, the writer says:
First in rank, as we'll as notoriety. we
have Major General U. S. Grant-indfier.
emily known as Grant, Ulysses S. Grant,
United States Grant. Uncle Sam Grant, and
Unconditional Surrender Grant: the same
whose move on the enemys works at
Fort Donelson has become national property,
and the same man under whose lead our
armies have split the Confederacy in two,
and wrung from their grasp all or the grea-
ter portion of the Mississippi Valley.
Almost at any time one can see small
but compactly built man of about forty five
years of age walking through the camps
He moves with his shoulders thrown lit
tie forward of the perpendicular, his left
hand in the pockets of his pantaloons, an
unlighted cigar in his mouth, his eyes thrown
forward, which from the veil of abstraction
that wells them, and a countenance drawn
into burrows of thought, would seem to indi
cate that he was intensly occupied. The
soldiers observe him coming, and, rising to
their feet. gather on each side of the way to
see him pass-they do not salute him, they
only watch him curiously, with a certain
sort of familiar reverence. His abstract
air is not so great while he thus moves along,
as to prevent his seeing anything without APP
parently looking at 1t; you will see this in
the fact that however dense the crowd in
which you stand, if you are an acquaintance,
his eyes for an instant will rest on YOURS
with glance of recollection, and with it
grave nod of recognition. A plain blue
