BUsINEss-Bu Business is business. This
is the peremDtory maxim of many who
would be puzzled to define the word, and
yet feel that it stands for something quite
distinct from other occupations which they
pursue either for pleasure or of necessity.
A man may be pressed with cares, or alb
sorbed in entertaining studies, which have
nothing to do with his business. He may
meet the first bravely, and follow the other
methodically and yet both may be wholly
separated from the work of his life, that
ecial work which is involved in his vo-
cation or calling, and is expected of him
by the other bees in the hive. To that he
must give his best days, and the best
hours Of his day. Whatever other duties
he has to perform must, as rule, make way
for business. They must be attended to be-
fore or after hours, however important
Unless (as in case of accident, fire, and the
like) they are of so sudden and pressing a
nature as to Justify obviously the neglect
of the regular days work, they must wait
till the work be done You must feed your
masters pigs before you set down to youl
own supper.

ILLINOIS. The name of the State of Ill
inois originated in this manner:-A party
of Frenchmcn set out upon an exploring
expedition down the river, which they af-
forwards named, providing themselves with
bark canvas, and relying chiefly for their
subsistence upon game. They found at
the confluence of this river with the Mis-
sissippi, an island thickly wooded with
blackwalnut. 1t was season of the year
when the nuts were ripe, and this party of
explorers, encamping upon this island,
greatly enjoyed the luxury of this fruit.
From this circumstance they called the
island the "lsland of Nuts"-or, in French,
"isie aUr H0jS"-which name was given to
the river which they explored, and thence
to the territory and State

small thin paper boxes and their covers
are quite as wonderful and ingeniously
contrived as those that make the matches.
A long coil Of paper as wide as the box
is long revolves on wheel, one end being
in machine. Itfirst asses through rollers,
where the printing is done from thence to
the paste-boxes, where the sides and ends
only are pasted from thence to the fold
ing-apparatus, where the ends are nicely
folded and the whole box is pasted togeth-
er and drops into basket. A similar ma
chine is at work at the covers, and thus
144, 900 boxes per day are manufactured

AN Irish glazier was putting in pane of
glass into a window, when a groom, who
standing by, began joking him, telling him to mind
and put in plenty of putty The Irishman bore
the banter for some time but at last silenced his
tormenter by ''Arrah, now, be off wild We, else
I'll put pain in yer head without any putty"

THE SKILL OF CHINESE LABoRERs-The
scaff,oding for the purpose of covering the
court is proceeding rapidly, the clief sup
ports being now completed, and the upper
part in process of being covered with light
bamboOs, placed about two feet apart
These act as supports for the mating,
which is all double, having lining formed
Of the miict stalk. Some Of these sheets
of mating are fitted on bamboo frames,
which are not intended to be moved, while
others are so arranged that by hallards,
they can be pulled open or shut like win
dow blinds, thus enabling the court to be
covered or uncovered, according to temper
aturc, rain, or other circumstances. The
Skill and ingenuity which the men display
is remarkable They move about on the
top OF this work, some forty feet from the
ground, with the agility of monkeys, and
run up and down the straight poles like
squirrels, using only their hands and the
soles nl their feet. A leg of mutton on the
top OF a greasy pole would stand poor
chance of remaining long an object of COM
petition among Pekin scaffold constructors.
The framework is secured only by ropes
and twine, and great economy is exercised
in picking up and removing the portions
that are in excess, several little boys going
round in the evening before the men leave,
and picking up the scraps that have been
cut off and thrown down. The Chinese
workmen display great expertness in
throwing materials from one to the other to
considerable height. | noticed this to-
day among the scaffold-men, and it recalled
to my memory having seen one of the ma
sons laborers taking a spade full of mortar,
and throw it, spade and all, to man on
the roof of house, who caught it without
dislodging a single particle of the mortar.
The paper hangers also are very expert III
throwing up sheets of paper, with one side
covered with paste ready for being put on
the wall. Their paper for room purposes
is very good, the satin pattern" being that
most commonly used. Paper of this kind is
not kept in rolls, as with us, but in squares
of about II by 10 inches. One man stands
by the table and applies the paste, and
then adroitly throws the sheet up to an
other one, who fixes it on the wall.-Pekir
