RESPECT THE AGED.-Many an old person
has the pain-not bodily. but sharper still
of feeling himself in the way. Some one
wants his place. His very chair in the chin
ney corner is grudged him. He is a burden
to a son or daughter. The very arm which
props him is taken away from some produc-
tive labor As he sits at the table his own
guests are too Idle or too unkind to make him
sharer in their mirth. They grudge the
trouble of that raAsed voice which alone could
make him one of t EN-: and when be speaks
it is only to be put aside as ignorant. or de-
spsed as old fashioned and obsolete. o, little
do younger persons know their power Of CIV
ing pain or pleasure! 1t is pain lor any
still ir this world to be mad. to feel that he
is no longer of ito be driven in upon his
own little world of conscious desolation and
buried enjoyment. But this is his condition.
And if any fretfulness or querulousness of
temper has aggravated it-if others love him
not because he is not amiable-shall we pity
that condition the less? Shall we upbraid it
with that fault which is itself the worst part
of it?

SOMETHING E1s -4yERYBoDY.-When you

Lallds out Of your pockets, and cigar out Of
YOUR mouth Don change sides with her on
crossing the street it is cutie as proper that
vou should fall through trap doors as that
she should. Mem. trap doors are next to
the wall, not the street. Always take the
right hand when you meet another person,
and don t stop At table, take The dish the
host offers you, and don't pass it to the near
est neighbor, even if lady; it is ungener-
Gus to reprove your host or hostess to his or
her face. There is point where self-abne-
CATION becomes rudeness, and this is precise
ly that point. The person who gives the
feast has perfect right 10 say which guest
shall be first served Don't offer your chair
to new conner unless it is the only one OF
the kind and the best in the room. Rise
when another guest leaves the house where
yeu are entertained, but do net follow to the
door. Ycu thus spoil a more cordial leave
taking. Don't sit cross. legged in presence
of ladies or in company of ceremony. Keep
your fingers out Of your button holes, and
ycur hands from of your lap. Make Your
self as comfortable as you can without incom-
moding any one. Your host, ifa gentleman,
always likes to see his guest comfortable and
contented Be neither pump nor pump
er. but alternately assume both conditions
Ask and answer questions with diplomatic
propriety. Speak well OF people or speak not
at all. Nothing indicates greater defect of
eclloquial ability than vituperation, SANDER
or angry defamation. Maintain repose if the
earth quakes Don't squeeze lady's hand,
for besids being vulgar demonstration of af-
fection, ladies often wear rings. The slight
est possible pressure is in good taste-better
than faccid, wilted shirt shaking of
hands, that is more disgusting than the
| hanging of dead snake on ones fingers.
But there is difernce between the respect
full and the real kindly, scarcely perceptible
pressure of the whole hand and persistent
grip that leaves the fingers white for an hour,
and lady disguised with you for week.
Always wear clean shirt and collar, and
don't fail to scour your teeth. All of this is
respectfully submitted TO those who would be
recognized as persons of good breeding"

The Learned Snowman Done Brown.

The following rich story is related by a
Sonora paper, at the expense of a queer gen.
ius who yibrates between that town and Or
egon. and is generally about in spots:
Frank Ball, agent of Hall and Hayward's
concert troop. travelling in a vehicle bearing
strong resemblance to peddler's cart
Old lady rushes ont from house by the
road side The following colloquy ensues:
r>J Lady-Say, what have you got to
sell?
Aqent-I am a travelling agent, madam.
for the greatest menagerie of ancient or mod
ern times. which is shortly to be exhibited
in this section, afording to the inhabitants
thereof an opportunity of viewing the most
stupendous collection Of animals ever before
exhibited.
Oil Lady-You don't say Have you
airy elephant?
Agent-We have. madam. six elephants:
but these constitute a comparatively unim-
portant part of the show. We have living
specimens of bpeds and ouadrupeds who
roamed over the earth not only in the ante
deluyian, but also in the pliorene and post
miocene period, embracing the megatherium,
with six legs and two tails the icthyosaurus,
with four eyes and three tails the gyascutus,
with no eyes two noses and four tails the
plesiosaurus, resembling Satan in shape,
which spits fire and breathes sulphurous,
the wangdoodle, with one eye and Eve tails,
and many other species TOO numerous for
enumeration. We also have pious lawyer.
Old LoGy-Well, / declare.
Agent-But, madam, the greatest curiosity
by far of our exhibition is a learned and clas-
sically educated monkey, who was brought
upa Mahommedan priest in the mysterious
regions Of the Great Desert of Sahara. This
monkey speaks with fuency all the modern
languages, besides Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
He can repeat the Ten Commandments, the
Emancipation Proclamation, President Lin
coins last message. and performs the most
intricate examples in mathematics with rap
idity, ease and accuracy. While being ex-
hibited in Washington he actually repeated
long speech of the President. This monkey
corresponds--

head from the window, and calls out

RARE SURGICAL OPERATION Amp putation

A NOVEL REPoRT.-Spea king Of postmas.

County, H.. in the reign OF Old Buck. He
was new appointee, and withal little un-
settled in his mind respecting the duties of
his position, which we remark parenthetical-
ly, involved about $50 business yearly. Mr
Jenkins-for that was his name-had read in
the instructions sent him, that he must make

CAUTION
FROM
The AMERICAN WATCH co.

IT having come TO our knowledge that limitations
of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great numbers, calculated by their utter
worhlessness to injure the reputation OF our gen
uine products to protect our interests and the
public from imposition. we again publish the trade
marks By which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches
The FIRST has the name
"AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham, Mass"
engraved on the inside plate.
The SECOND has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY & CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name
"P. s. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass" engrav-
ed on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the same American
Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted
in every respect
The FOURTH has the name
OWN. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved on
the inside plate, and is not named on the dial.
All the above described Watches are made of
various Sizes and are sold in gold or silver cases,
as may be required.
It's hardly possible for us to accurately de-
scribe the numerous limitations to which we have
alluded. They are usually inscribed with names so
nearly approaching own as to escape the OBJ
servation Of the unaccUstomed buyer Some are
represented as made by the "Unon Watch Co., of
Boston, Mass."-no such company existing. Some
are named the = Soldiers Watch, to be sold as our
Fourth or Wm. Ellery style, usually known as the
"Soder's Watch :" others are named the Apple
ton Watch Co. y others the "P. s. Bartley,' in
stead of our P. s. Bartlett besides many varieties
nampd in such manner as TO convey the idea that
they are the veritable productions Of 3e America
Watch Company.
A little attention on the part Of the buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.
For sale by tie trade generally.
