Identifying n Trunk.

Two or three days ago young wom-
an who gave every indication of being
abundantly able to take care of herself
and whatever might belong to hes. ar
rived in Pittsburg from the west, by
the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chica-
90 Railroad. She claimed her trunk
on the platform of the Union Depot,
but was refused possession of it until
she should show her check. This she
did not do, and the trunk was wheeled
into the baggage room. Thither she
followed it. and again made her de-
mand, designating as her property q
structure big enough for ''Saratogs," I"
but of antiquated build. She was again
asked for her check and made Vigor-
GUS search for it. She seemed in mo-
mentary distress of mind as she be-
came convinced that she had lost the
check, but soon recuperated, and made
a straightforward and obviously honest
appeal to have herpropertY restored. At
length it was agreed that the trunk
should be given her if she would faith
fully describe its contents. She straight
way commenced her inventory. The
trunk contained so many dresses, so
many night caps, so many pairs of
stockings, 30 many bottles Of ''yarb
syrups" in case OF sickness, so many
etc., ETC., and in the ''tilP of the trunk
had been placed three dozen and half
of fresh eggs. The description having
been completed, the trunk was opened
1t was hers, that fact became obViods
in moment. The eggs were there, or
rather had been, though just how many
of them it would be impossible to state,
positively, for the whole trunk was full
of vast omelette. Dresses, stockings,
night-caps, and bottles Of syrup were
only so many articles beaten up among
the broken eggs. The baggage was
yielded without word of opposition.
Tho owner accepted il with a silent
look of dismay, then closed the lid and
ordered the trunk to be wheeled away.

Ward Beecher on YOungMen

Who are the men that are needed in
this world2 Young men that shall
bear burdens. We have enough null
en-stalks; we want oak-trees We
have enough men that are wiling to
do anything for the sake of getting
along; but what are they worth? They
are bridges for men to walk over
They are tools. Men use them, like
sand-paper, to scour with, and then
throw them down and trsmple them
under foot. A young man that does
not know how to say "No;" a young
man that has not power TO resist the
cup when it is-presented to him-what
is he but poor, miserable wssh-cloth,
but a rag, dishonored, and put to the
vilest usesl Who cares for him, or
mourns over him, but some Christian
mother or Christian minister? But
young man that knows how tossy "No;"
that knows how to resist evil; that
knows how to give buffet for tempta-
tion-is not he hardening himself? Is
not he making his bones tough-par-
ticularly his bsck-bones? He is be-
coming columnar.-And It is such as
ne that are sought after in business
A man says: "Here is a difficult de-
partment in my establishment, aud l
would pay almost any price if 1 could
find man that 1 could trust" Says
the man whom he addresses, " know
an impracticable sort of fellow that l
think might suit you. He will stick
TO what he thinks right at all hazards.
You cannot turn him from il by any
power on earth" Says theother man,
Il want q lignumvits man; send him
to me-" Let it once be known that a
man cannot be cajoled; that he will
not lie, even for himself; that he will
not steal, and has prejudice against
stealing; let it be known that he has
been tried, and that there is inward
principle in him and let US put him
up at auction, and will get one mill
ion bid on him Men are the things
that are the most needed in New York.
Why, there is no timber in the market
that is gathered up SO greedily as they
sre.-There is nothing so much needed
in bank businers, in all departments of
it, as moral principle. And vet mer-
chants will teach young men to lie;
and, for the sake of momentsry profit
to cajole customers. And when, by
snd-by, these young men grow up,
they become, on their own account,
filchers, and stealers, and liars. You
think that the young men of this gen.
Grafton are corrupt and worthless
They are, but the blame rests on your
shoulders. You were their school mas
ters. You taught them to lie and
cheat in your interest and now they
do it in their own. Now your own
chickens come home to roost. Mer-
chants North and South have been raj
sing by the wholesale damnable
yo6ng men without principle. And a
young man, if he would save himself
from destruction, must cling to that
anchor of the soul, both sure and
steadfast, which entereth into that
within the vail" Nothing else can
insure him safety.

81 make it a point of morality" says
writer, never to find fault with an
other for his manners. They may be
awkward or graceful, blunt or polite,
polished or rustic. care not what they
are, If the man means well, and acts
from honest intentions without eccen-
tricity or affection. All men have not
the advantage of good society," as it is
called, to school themselves in all its
fantastic rules and ceremonies, and if
there is any standard Of manners, it is
well founded on reason and good sense,
and not upon these artificial regula-
tions. Manners, like conversation, is
extemporaneouS, and not studied. l
suspect a man who meets me with a
perpetual smile on his face, the same
bending of the body. and the same
premeditsted shake of the hand
Give me the hearty-it may be the
rough-grip of the hand, the careless
nod of recognition, and, when occasion
requires, the homely but welcome salu-
ton, How are you, my friend"

Power OF SINcERIrY.-The following
will illustrate the truth that men who
hate religion often respect those who
possess and honor it. while they dss-
pise such of its professors as disgrace
it, by winking at their ridiculs Of its
doctrines:
Robert Burns had in many q rhyme
and poem satirized and abused the
Evangelical clergy of the establish
ment-and was fierce for Moderation;
i. {, he praised and extolled ''the Mode
rate" clergy, who in turn admired him,
and engaged with him in many a sym
postum, where sit and whisky abound
ed. And yet Burns had sitting in
the humble Westinghouse, and never
attended any of the parish churches.
Some one expressed his surprise that
he should 90 to such place as that
Burns replied
al go there because tie minister believes
,ohat he prsGehSs and lires r0hGs 'OhGt he
5shevss."

WHAT HAPPENED TO AN INPERTINENT
PUPPY.-About ten o'clock this morn
ing a wellknown grocer, whose name
we have been unable to obtain, was seen
emerging from an alley on South street
with a pair of number nine boots in
close proximity to his coat-tail. He
was evidently in a hurry. 1t seems
that he had become enamored of the
personal appearance of a respectable
married lady, residing on that street.
and had intimated to the servant girl
that $50 would be no object to obtain
an interview. In fact, he was ready to
squander that amount of currency for
the felicity of a single hour in her
sweet presence. The proposition was
made in this form by the servant girl
to her mistress, who, like true wife,
told her husband of the insult and ask
ed his advice. The first impulse of the
enraged husband was TO wiring his neck,
but upon reflection, he determined to
set trap for the gentleman and warm
his jacket. BY his advice the wife as
sented to an interview at the house,
and ten o'clock this morning was named
as the blissful hour. Prompt to the
minnie the festive dealer in dandelion
coffee, brooms and sich, made his ap-
pearance disguised in clean shirt, a
broadcloth' coat, and other stunning
paraphernslia. He was evidently got
ten up for the occasion. he knocked
timidly at the front door, and was ush-
cred into the parlor by the servant girl
He was not kept long in suspense
The back door opened, and in came the
lady with her husband. Mr.. Grocer
turned very red In the face and grew
very pale. The husband made no
apology for an appearance in his shirt
sleeves, but proceeded to business,
drew heavy raw-hide from his vest
pattern, and began to lay it on in fear
full earnest. The blows fell thick and
fast. Mr., Dandelion begged piteously,
but. the irate husband only sand-paper-
ed him the more fercely, and he was
glad to escape by the back door with
his life. He went out the back gate
snd out the alley as though he had been
shet out of a cannon.-LGfayettc Ind

Do SNAKES CHARM BIRDs2-A week
or two since two gentlemen, visiting
the farm of Mr.. Charles Collins, shout
two miles north of Northumberland,
were attracted to certain shrub by
the distressed cry of a catbird lowering
near it. Approaching. they discovered
a large black snake with his body
twined around the shrub, while his
extended head was following every
motion made by the bird, which con-
tinually idrew nearer and nearer to the
snake. Neither bird nor snake ap-
peared to notice the presence of the
gentlemen, though they approached
very near, while the head of the snake
glowed with an unnatural brillisncy
The excited scene was terminated
when the bird was only some six inches
from the snakes mouth. by lodging
the contents of a shot gun in the head
of his snakeship, when his intended
victim, relieved from his influence,
Immediately flew away.

that; and to do it, and bear the respon-
sibility, he must receive wages accord
ingly. Is it then, so very unjust that
woman, who has no such responsibility,
should not receive so high wages? You
blame employers, and demand that
they give females more-a vain demand
so long as there are thousands ready to
underbid them and do the work cheap
er. The demand will pay in proportion
to the supply, and no human power
can alter this. Woman can't endure
such heavy toll, she can't toll as many
hours, year after year she expects not
to continue the employment but short
time, and the result is. she has 10 take
for her labor the market price for that
commodity.-John Todd, d. D., in the

The Tuscsrsvas Advocate says: As
an illustration Of the advantages result
ing from manufactures, we need only
look to our neighboring town of Can
ton. Not many years ago Canton was
one of the dullest and least progressive
towns in Ohio. Instead of increasing
in wealth and population, it was retro
grading, as no one thought it worth
while to locate there, and the young
and energetic were leaving for more
progressing localities. Finally, one
man, Mr.. Ball, having invented an
improvement in moving machines pro-
posed that the citizens of Canton
should loan him $4,000, to msnufac-
ture them at that place. They did it,
and that one factory was the nucleus
around which the following have gath
cred. Two immense agricultural i'm
plement manufactures, one of plows
one of stoves and hollow
ware, one of paper and mower knives,
one of saddlery hardware, two of fur
niture, one of horse rakes, one of farm
wagons, one of cultiVators, one of
wrought iron bridges, one of soap, be-
sides large number of others more or
less extensive.

SOMETHING of a sensation WAS created
in st. Georges Episcopal Church, New
York, at the morning service, on Sun
day, by the appearance Of 9 Prssbyte-
rian minister Rev. Dr.. Spring.. in black
grown among the surpliced ministers
that ushered from the Yestry-Foom and
occupied place in the chAncel. He
was there, moreover, it turned out, for
more than mere shows he was called
upon by DR.. Tyng to say the conclud-
ing prayer. Whether this Is another
case for the Standing Committee-or
not-we do not know-but of the facts
itself there Is no doubt.

GANBEING IN BADEN-A correspond.
ent of the London Morning Post gos
sips about the gamblers at Baden: "It
is singular that every year the great
players come of a different race. A
few years back Gracia and the Span
iards were all the rage then came
Narichkine and the Russians. Now
they have disappeared, and the Turks
and the Egyptians rule the roast and
the tables, and they exhibit, it must
be confessed, no falling off in the cour-
age of their predecessors. Mustapha
had good day yesterday, had run OF
fourteen on the color, which, at the
eOups he was playing, must have
brought him near one hundred thous-
and francs. Khslib Bey, the confeder-
ate of Major Fridolin on the French
turf, is also tremendous high player,
but occasionally has his bad days. and
having dropped over half = million of
francs at Hamburg, he has come over
to Baden to retrieve his losses, but at
present he is only engaged in little
skirmishing, deferring his more serious
operations until after the races, in
which he takes great interest and
speculstes deeply"

PLEASURES OF READING.-of all amuse-
ments that can possibly be imagined
for a working man, after a days toll,
or in the intervals, there is nothing
like reading q newspaper or book. 1t
calls for no bodily exertion, of which
the man has enough perhaps too
much. 1t relieves his home of dull
ness and sameness. Nay, it accompa-
nies him to his next days work, and
gives him something to think of be-
sides the more mechanical drudgery of
his every day occupation-something
he can enjoy while absent. and look
forward to with pleasure.

ASNGULAR VERDIcT.-There has been
many a queer verdict rendered by coro-
ner's and other juries since the days Of
Shakespeare's ''Crowner's quest" but
none has exceededin originality and
certain grimness Of humor, that rem
dered, not long since, by a ooroner's
Jury in Montana. 1t is pity that the
details of the victims previous life are
not given, that the verdict might be
logically deduced from cause to effect
by the resder; but all that is reported
is, one Hugh McElroy, a miner, shot
himself deliberately through the head
with his revolver, while lying abed, and
that coroner's jury having been duly
called, and the affair investigated in
form by these gentlemen, they finally
returned the verdict: "That the de-
ceased committed suicide, and that he
