CIRCUMLOCUTION.-A Cincinnati, II
few years since, an unsophisticated dar-
key waited upon acertain militarygen
tleInan with bill of $3.50 for washing,
done at the camp hospital, which, after
undergoing rigorous scrutiny by the
officer, was returned with the following
explanation, which the astonished son
of Ethiopia listened to with an equal
amount of wonder and perplexity:
"This BILL" said the military gentle
man, "will first have to be sent to the
Quartermaster Generals Sat Washington,
and he will report to the Adjt-General,
and he will lay it before the Sec'y of
War for his approval. The Adjutant
being satisfied, it will be sent to the
Auditor of State, who will approve of
it and send it to the Secretary of the
Treasury, who will send it to the L. 5.
Treasurer, who will at once dispatch an
order to the Collector of this port to pay
the bill"
The darkey relieved himself of long
drawn sigh. "Then, massa," he re-
| MAJ hNi, uuN ibob SNiiipiuli yoo oBOhN
of, pays for the washing, does hep"
"No," continued the officer, she will
hand it to the quartermaster /; but AS
there is no such officer here at present,
some proper person must be appointed
by the Secretary of War, under the di-
rection of the President, and .as his ap-
pointment must be approved by the
Senate, Congress not being in session
now, the commission cannot be issued
until after it meets. When this com
mission is received, the quartermaster
will show it to the collector; he will pay
it, you giving your receipt"
The unfortunate negro first scratched
his head, then shook it, and finally
said
81 guess I'll hab to let dis washing
slide, but it am de last job ! does for
Uncle Sam, shure!"

An obscure individual, remembered by

True Dignity,

LOFTY ends give dignity to the low
est officer. 1t Is, for instance, an hon
est, but you would call it an honorable
occupation to pull an oar; yet if that
oar dips in ycasty sea to impel the
| life-boat over mountain waves and
| through roaring breakers, he has strip
| ped for the venture, and, breaking away
from weeping wife and praying moth
er, and clinging children, has bravely
thrown himself into the boat to pull
for yonder wreck, and pluck his drown
ing brother from the jaws of death.
presents, as from time to time we catch
a glimpse of him on the crest of the
foaming billow, spectacle of grandeur
which would withdraw our eyes from
the presence even of a queen, surround
ed with all the blaze and glittering
pomp Of royalty.
Take another illustration, drawn
from yet humber life. Some years ago
on winter morning, two children
were found frozen to death. They were
sisters. The elder child had the youn-
ger seated in her lap, closely folded
within her lifeles5 arms. She had strip
ped her own thinly clad form to protect
its feeble life, and to warm the icy fin
gers, had tenderly placed its little hands
in her own bosom and plying men
and weeping women did stand and
gaze on the two dead creatures, as with
CLASSY eyes and stiffened forms, they
reclined upon the snow wreath-the
days of their wandering and mourning
ended, and heavens own pure snow no
purer than that true sisters love. They
were orphans; houseless, homeless beg
gars. But not on that account had /
been there to gaze on that touching
group, would / have shed one tear the
less, or felt the less deeply that it was a
display of true love and of human ma
ture in its least fallen aspect, which de-
served to be embalmed in poetry, and
sculptured i'm costly marble.
Yes, and however humble the Chris
tian's walk, or mean his occupation, it
matters not. He who lives for the glo
ry of God has an end in view which
lends dignity to the man and to his life.
Live, then, "looking unto Jesus" live
for nothing less and nothing lower than
Gods glory; and these ends will lend
grandeur to your life, and shed holy,
heavenly lu5tre on your station, how
ever humble it may be.-Dr. Guthrie.

How To MAKE LABOR PLEASANT.
Whatever is worth doing is worth do
ing well. No work can be done very
well without cheerful spirit, and it is
the manifest duty of both employer and
employed to cultivate the largest
amount of cheerfulness, and make it
apparent in their business, 1t is some
times, perhaps, difficult to avoid sullen-
ness, but as its presence damages the
workshop and the counting room, the
store and the factory, and as it is conse-
quently dead loss to those who par
take of it, the best plan is for man to
resolve What he WiU do, and then direct
his energies towards its accomplish
ment without regard to the position of
Smith, Jones, or Robinson or any COM
petitor. Let us take our pride in our
work whether it be the kind of work
we should do or not. Opportunities for
placing ourselves in our proper position
will come soon enough without fretting
or worrying,

a DOG SToRY.-A gentleman possess-
ed of noble Newfoundland dog had
trained him to 90 to market with a
basket and a piece of money to purchase
the morning steak, The money, with
Il towcl, was deposited in the basket and
Bowser withmuch dignityand thought
fulness, would trot Off to the butchers
st II, and the man of beef, understand
ing the arrangement, would take the
money, deposit the steak, and the dog
would troi home: Turning a corner one
morning on his way from market, he
came upon two dogs fighting. With
the same feeling that will make the
crowd of human dogs throng about a
prizc-ring to see two other dogs pound
each other, Bowser paused, and for n
second looked on; then, excited by the
contest, he dropped his basket and
went in" He whipped both, hut
while so engaged hungry hound stole
his steak.
Bowser picked up his basket; the loss
of weight told the story. He stopped
and Investigated, The steak was gone,
and the poor dogs worry was comical.
He looked in every direction for the
lost meat, all the while half growing
and whining as if talking to himself.
Some men who saw the affair and knew
the dog, watched to see what solution
Bowser would make of the di fficulty.
The poor fellow was for II moment in
doubt, and then, as ifan idea had struck
him, he set Off for the market again.
The little crowd followed him. They
saw him approach the butchers stall,
but instead of marching boldly up, he
stopped and looked wistfully at the
meat. At last when the butchers back
was turned for second, he seized the
largest steak ON the block, and ran
home with it as if the devil was after
him,
