HERRING's SAFES IN THE LATE
PORTLAND CoNFLAGRATIoN,-There
is a moral. to be drawn from one of
the incidents of the late disastrous
fire in Portland that should be care
fully considered by those who would
avoid danger that is all the more in
sidious because we are apt to imagine
ourselves secure from it. We refer to
the test that has been applied to the
safes of different manufacturers that
were exposed to the terrible ordeal of
fire there. The word SAFE, which is
applied to the iron chests or boxes
that are manufactured, by all makers,
is only applicable, in reality, to such
as have successfully stood the test,
and our advertising columns show
that the Herring Safe fairly sustains
the reputation 1t long ago acquired, of
being one of the most perfect fire.
proofs yet made. After seeing the
reports of the great losses of valuables
contained in other safes, we were led
to inquire why people should be so
blind to their own interests as to trust
their treasures in such insecure de-
positories, when others that had been
proved and tried in hundreds of fires,
could be had, and we were informed
that in this, as. in many. other matters,
people forget the motto, - The best is
the cheapest" and that one cause of
the great loss in this instance was,
that the Portland merchants had pur-
chased safes manufactured in the
East that were cheaper than Herring
could afford to sell his for. We
should as soon trust our funds to a,
street broker, who might offer a large
interest, than the more cautious and
well-known neighboring banker, as
put our valuables' in an iron box that
will not stand the test of fire; and
having experienced the satisfaction of
owning one of Herring make, we the
more rheerfully recommend them to-
our friends.-Scottisb american Jour

NEVER TRAYELEp.

A story is told of an old lady who liv-
cd near Rochester, who had never seen
or Travelled on railroad. Wanting to 90
on visit to a small town a short distance
from the city, she thought she would try
one of the pesky things. So she went to
the ticket Office, carrying her reticule on
one arm, and an old fashioned rocking
chair on the other. She bought her
ticket, walked out on the platform, put
down her rocking chair, sat down in it,
took out her knitting and went to work
diligently. Steadily she rocked and
worked, trains coming in and leaving as
the car time came around. The old lady
made no attempt to get on the cars, but
kept knitting.
he day drew to a close, and night
came on. The last train was about start
ing, when the depot master went up and
asked her if she was going out.
Eyes, SIR replied the old lady. I"Hadn't
you better get aboard and secure seat ?"
said the depot master. "'fhank you sir,
I'm very comfortable" replied the elder
ly dame. The train left. The master
came around again. "Madam, | shall
have to disturb you; the trains have all
left, and we must close the depot. Shall
| send you to hotel?"
"Well," exclaimed the old lady, drop.
ing her knitting and holding up her
hands, Saint the thing goin' to move?
Here l brought my chair from home so
as to have a seat on which some pesky
man couldn't squeeze himself. I've set
here all day waitin for the thing to go,
and here I've had all my trouble for moth
ing. l thought it was long time NOV
ing. l declare that these here railroads

gave toss of her head and marched off
in high indignation. She mistook the
depot for the cars, and expected to tray
ell in it.

a young medical student from Mich.
gan, who had been attending lectures in
New York for some time, and who con.
sidered himself exceedingly good looking
and fascinating, made deadly onset on
the heart and fortune of a blooming young
lady in the same family with him. AT.
ter long siege, the lady surrendered :
They were married on Wednesday in the
morning. The same afternoon the Young
wife sent for and exhibited to the aston
ished student "beautiful" little daught-
er, aged three years and half.
"Good heavens then you was wild
owl" exclaimed the student. eyes, my
dear; and this is Amelia, my youngest
to morrow, Augusta, James and Reuben
will arrive from the country, and then
shall have my children together once
more"
The unhappy student replied not a
word his feelings too deep for utterance.
The "other little darlings" arrived Reu.
ben was six years, james nine, and Au-
gustus a saucy boy twelve. They were
delighted to hear they had new papa,
because they could now live at home,
and have all the playthings they wanted.
The "new papa as soon as he could speak
remarked that Augustus and James'.did
not much resemble Reuben and Amelia.
"Well, no." said the happy mother
"my first husband was quite different
style of man from my second-complex-
ion, temperament, the color of hair and
eyes-all different"
This was too much. He had not only
married a widow, but was her, third hus-
dand, and the astonishei stepfather of
four children. But the fortune, thought
he; that will make amends. He spoke;
of her fortune.
"These are my treasures" said she, in
the Roman matron style, pointing to her
children. . III
The conceit was quite out of the Michi-
gander, who, finding that he had made a
complete goose of himself, retired to a
farm in bis own native State, where he
would have chance of making CHS"
boys useful, and make them sweat for the
deceit practiced upon him by their moth
er. t
