Learn a Trade.

Stephen Girard had sfavorite clerk, and he
always said he s'intended to do well by Ben
Lippencott." So when Ben got to be twenty
one, he expected the governor to say some
thing of his future prospects, and perhaps lend
helping hand In starting him in the world. But
the old fox carefully avoided the subject. Ben
mustered courage, Il suppose | am now free,
Sir" said he, land thought would say some7
thing to you as to nay course. What do you
think I had better dop' Yes, yes, know you
are" said the millionaire; land my advice is that
you 90 and learn the cooper trade. :" .
This piece of, advice nearly froze Ben out; but,
recovering his equilibrium he said if Mr Girard
was in earnest, he would do SO. Il am in earn
est" and Ben forthwith sought the best cooper
in Spring Garden, become an apprentice, and in
due tine could make as good barrel as the
best He announced to old Stephen that he
had graduated and was ready to set up in bust
ness The old man seemed gratfed and i'm
medately ordered three Of the best barrels he
could turn out Ben did his PROTEST and
wheeled them up to his counting room. Mr.
Girard pronounced them first rate, and deman-
ded the price. 'One dollar" said Ben, lis as
low as can 1--we by" CHEAP enough! Make
out your BILL The bill was made out and old
Stephen settled it with check for $4,000
which he accompanied with this little piece Of
uloraI'to the story: There take that, and in
vest it in the best possible manner, and if you
are unfortunate and lose it, you have good
trade to fail back upon, which will afford you a
good living"

Where I Would Rest.
BY A. r. LEONARD.


Garry me out on the ocean deep,
And launch me into the wave! ~.s-
There | would rest in my final sleep,
With the grand old sea for my gravel
l want no marble above my head
With its paltry epitaph;
Nor pitiiul clay upon me spread
Where ribalds may tread and laugh
I want not the adder to make his coil
Where my sins might be laid at rest;
Or poisonous weed, with their breath to spoil
The hope Of Il penitent breast
/ want not the workman Of future days
10 search M grave with his tools;
Or NY bones to dock an empric's baise,
And furnish q theme for fools.
But give me the high and arching sea,
VITA its dome o. beautiful blue;
It's toss yi waters 81 proud and free,
A-d is cadence forever true.
Let. - 1t -ast a its shelly floor,
w. oyt~I About ne strcwn;
ana Ect., l. und sturbcd in their ocean store,
Ey aatare around ne thrown.
1he moon will look down with merciful eye
On ny lonely and watery bed;
And the mermaid may pause as she foateth by
And pcrchance may pray for the dead.
And the midnight breeze might come on apace
With a tone from the veriest heaven,
To tell of love, in that lonely place,
And whisper Of all forgiven.
Yet vain is our choice where the frame may be
When beyond all earthly care;
For the corpse will mould cen meath the salt sea,
And his God will judge him there!
