Queer employment

We heard a pretty good story the
other day, where an honest faced
Hoosier went to a fancy stors IN Gin
elnnatl, in hunt of a situation. The
proprietor was sitting in the counting
room, with his feet elevated, contem-
plating life through the softening in.
fuence of cigar smoke.
0ursHoosier friend addressed him as
follows:
"Do you want to hire any man about
your establishment !"
The clerk looked indiferentlY, but
seeing his customer, concluded to have
little fun out of him, so he answered
very briskly, at the same time pulling
out a large and costly handkerchief,
and wiping his nose on it.
"Yes, sir; what kind of a situation
do you want?"
"Well, Pm not particular. Pm out
of employment, and almost any thing
will do me for awhile"
"Yes, I can give you a situation, if
it will suit you"
What is it? What's to be done, and
what do you givel"
"Well, l want hand to chew rags
into paper, and if you are willing Ic
set in you may begin at once"
"Good as wheat Hand over your
rags"
Here, take this handkerchief and
begin with it."
The Hoosier saw the "sell," and
quietly putting the handkerchief into
his pocket, walked out, remarking:
when I get it chawed, stranger, III
fetch it bsck."

Was never earth so white betor
Till now l never saw the glow

And never learned the bough designs
Of beauty in its leatless lines
Did ever such morning break
As that ny eastern window see
Did ever such moonlight take
Weired photographs Of shrub ana tFee
Rang ever bells so wild and Meet
The music of the winter street
Was ever yet a sound by bali

To find in all that meets my eyes
The freshness Of 4 glad surprise.
Fair seem these winter days. and soon
Shall blow the warm west wind OtsprlnS
To set the unbound rills IN tune,
And hither urge the bluebird' wing.
The wales shall laugh in flowers. the Woodi

CHILDREN's Arms AND LEGs.-A dis
tinguished physician who died some
years since in Paris, declared, al be-
lieye that during the twenty years
that have practiced my profession in
this city, 10000 children have been
carried to the cemeteries, a sacrifice to
the absurd custom of exposing their
arms naked" On this the Philadel-
phia Medical and Surgical Reporter
remarks: Put the bulb Of a thermome-
ter in baby's mouth, the mercury
rises to ninety degrees. Now carry the
same to its little hand, if she arm be
bare and the evening cool, the mercu-
~ will sink to fifty degrees. Of course
all the blood that flows through these
arms must fall from ten TO forty de-
grees below the temperature of the
heart. Need I say that when these
currents of blood flow back into the
chest, the child's vitality must be
more or less compromised? And need
add that we ought not to be surprised
at its frequent recurring affections Of
the tongue, throat or stomachl have
seen more than one child with habitu-
al cough and hoarseness, choking with
mucus, entirely and permanently re-
lieYed by simply keeping the arms and
hands warns. Every observing and
progressive physician has daily oppor-
tunities Of witnessing the same cure.

A PATRIOTIC BEQUEsT.-Some time
agoWe mentioned the fact that's legacy
of twenty thousand dollars had been
left to the United States by a private
citizen of San Francisco to be applied
toward caneelling the public debt.
The amount Of this patriotic legacy
has been paid this day into the United
States Treasury, and we are now en-
abled to give in full the section Of the
will by which the testator, Captain
Ralph S. Fritz, gave his practical eYi-
dence of his devotion to his country.
This section reads thus:
Considering that have been great
" blessed, and that have an undying
attachment to the government of the
United States, the country of my birth;
and remembering that by reason of my
age and infirmities during the recent
unnatural rebellion 20 destroy it, was
unable to renderservice in the field to
put down and punish that great crime,
and not being unmipdful that large
public burden of lrds5tedness has been
necessarially incurred IN accomplish
ing that object, l desire not only to
leave behind me when am gone, an
humble testimonial Of the gratitude l
feel towards those whose virtue and
Talor and sacrifices ard services preser-
we'd what regard as the best govern
ment man was permitted to haYe, but
beyond that, and in addition to paying
the ordinary taxes on my estate, |
think it a duty, out Of the means Prov
idence in His bounty has enabled me
to acquire, and the laws of my country
aided me to preserve, to do something
toward extinguishing the national debt.
Therefore, moved thereto by the fore
going causes only, 1 hereby give and
bequeath unto the Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States of Amer
ics, in trust, and to be applied only in
cancelling the national debt, the sum
of tlventy thousand dollars"
Captain Fritz died only q short time
since in San Francisco, and his will
bears date of May lst, 1867.

HONE MADE BARoNRTERs.-Take two
sheets of pasteboard paper of any con-
venient size, say three feet long by
two feet wide. Bring the ends to-
gether and glue or paste them tight,
each sheet by itself; and they will
look like two pieces of paper stoVepipe.
Cut thin, round boards exactly 20 fit
in the ends Of these paper cylinders,
carefully glue or nail them tight. Now
you have Two air-tight paper drums
with wooden heads. Take a pole of
any length you desire-three feet or
twelve feet; let one drum be fastened
to each end of the pole. Now balance
this pole with the drums on each end,
on nice pivots, in the middle. Then
bore a gimlet through the end of one
drum, and you have a good farmers
barometer. One drum is air-tight one
has hole in it; so there will be more
or less air in one drum than there is in
another, according as the surrounding
air is dense or rarfed. Consequently,
in dense or heavy air, the tight drum
rises, while the one with the hole in 1t
goes down. CrossHise through the
middle of the bar or pole should run
stick as slarge as ones finger, foot long,
with wire gudgecns, on which the in-
strument should viberate or teeter.
Let the ends of the pole be slightly
lower than the middle, that the whole
do not make somerset; smear all with
glue or oil, so that no air enter, only
in the puncture mentioned. Have
something you can slide through the
bar, to keep it nearly level. Mark, if
you please, figures along the pole, to
show how far you have moved the bal
ancing poise; though for this there is
but little need. This instrument may
not be so perfect as costly barometer,
but for all practical purposes it is all
one could ask. 1 have had one more
than year. l look at it . dozen times
a day. They could be made and af-
forded for ffty-cents apiece. They could
be made as long as barn, and placed
in the loft, with an indicator, to show
the distant mower when to make
his hay.-BostoH Journal Of Chemistry.

SMOKING AND DRINKING. - People,
who hold the very foolish belief that
smoking leads directly to the worse
habit of drinking, will do well to
ponder this extract from a recent mag
azine article upon stimulants and mar
cotics, written by DR.. George N. Beard:
Indeed, 1 can but feel that the in
PRODUCTION of tobacco into our modern
civilization has been really q great
blessing, by checking the ravages Of
intemperance, and almost entirely pre-
venting the habitual use of opium.
The impression is quite prevalent, and
has never been disputed, that smoking
and chewing lead to drinking. But all
observation shows that there is no nee
essary connsction between these habits.
There are many who lead utterly SEN
sual lives, and who drink, smoke and
chew to excess, just as they indulge In
ordinately all their passions; but the
majority of confirmed smokers and
chewers are very moderate drinkers,or
are teetotalers. The rule works both
ways, and absolute sots are usually
comparatively moderate in the use of
tobacco. 1t is said that smoking
causes thirst, and so invites to the bar
room but we all know that it is not to
quench thirst, but to stimulate, that
men go to the wine-cup."

NAMES OF WOVEN, AND THEIR MEAN
ING.-Mary, the commonest of all fe-
male names is also one of the sweetest
given to woman. 1t is not strange
that it prevails so universally. Byron
assures US that he had an absolute pas
sion for it. It is inWoyen with some of
his sweetest verses. Il is still the
theme of bsrds and bardings innumer-
able. 1t signifies exalted. Maria and
Marie-the latter French, are only
forms of Mary, and of course have the
same meaning. Martha signifies bit
terness. Anne, Anna, Hannah, and
probably Nancy, are of the same source
and signify kind and gracious. Ellen
was originally Helen-Helena in Lat
tin and Helene in French; according
to some etymologists it has the mean
ing Of alluring, but others define it to
one who pities. Jane, now generally
familiarized into Jenny, signifies like
Anna, kind or gracious. For Sarah or
Sally, there are two definitions, prin.
cess and the morning star Susan sig
mites lily, and is fitting name for a
tall, slender, flower like girl, of delicate
complexion and native grace. Rebee-
ca-plump. Lucy signifies the light,
and was anciently given to girls. born
at day break. 1t may also be consid-
cred as meaning brightness of aspect,
and applied accordingly. Bertha
bright, and Alberta all bright. Louisa
i'm French Louise-is the feminine of
Louis, and signifies one who protects.
Those who love her may call her Lou.
Fanny or Francis, means frank or free.
Catherine, or Katherine, pure or chaste
is one of the best of our female names.
Sophie, from the Greek means wisdom.
Caroline and Charlotte, queens. En-
ma, tender, affectionate, motherly;
Margaret, pearl or a daisy; Julia soft
haired; Juliet aud Julietta are the
same as Julia. Agnes means chaste;
Amelia. and Amy or Annie, beloved I;
Clara, clear or bright; Elenor, all fruit
full; Gertrude, all truth; Grace, favor;
Laura, laurel :. Matilda, noble or.
brave maid Phebe, light of life.

MEN WHO WIN WoNEN.-God has so
made the sexes that women, Ike chill
dren, cling to men lean upon them
for protection, care and love; look up
to them as though they were superior
IN mind and body. They make them
the suns Of their system, and they and
their children revolVs around them.
Men are gods if they but knew it, and
women burning incense at their shrine.
Women, therefore, who have good
minds and pure hearts, want men to
lean upon. Think of their. reverence
ing a drunkard, liar, fool or a lib
ertine, If man would have a woman
do him homage he must be manly in
every sense: a true gentleman-not
after the Chesterfield school, but polite,
because his heart is full of kindness to
all one who treats her with respect,
even Difference, because she is 8 woman;
who never condescends to say silly
things to her; who brings her up to his
level, If his mind is above hers who is
never over anxious to please; but al
ways anxious to DO right; who has no
time to be frivolous with her; always
dIgnlhed IN speech and act who never
lavishes too much money upon her
never yields to temptation, even if sh e
puts 1t IN his way who IS ambitious to
make his mark in the world, whether
she encourages him or not who is
never familiar with her to the extent
of being an adopted brother or cousin;
who is not over careful about dress !;
always pleasant and considerate, but
always keeping his place of the man,
the head, and never losing it, Such
department. with noble principles, a
good mind, energy and industry, will
win any woman in the world who is
worth winning-except such an one,
indeed, as is sagacious enough to know
that the very best man, in the world Is
not secure from misfortunes, as-well
as possibly sudden death, and ought,
therefore, to add the insurance of his
life to his other graces and virtues.

FAILING ETEs.-PersOns suffering
from dyspepsia or any other malady
must take care of their eyes. Any dis
ease impairs the strength and the
nervous system is depressed /; and when
laboring under this form of depression,
the eve is particularly liable to become
weak. The reason of this is, that "of
the ten nerves which go of from the
brain. six are distributed wholly, and
the other four partially to the eye.
Through the great sympathetic nerve,
the disturbed stomach, or liver or in
testines, communicates with telegraph
ic speed with the brain, and so with
the eve. Theftst advice to be given with
reference to the comfortable use Of the
ewes. undoubtedly is-to keep mites
tines and liver and stomach in a
healthy condition, or in hther words
do everything to confirm the general
health. If this be impaired, do not
read. and especially do not write long
without giving the eye rest. The great
remedy for an eye whose disease de-
pends upon the nerve and not the
muscle, is Rest ! ! Rest Rest II!

To keep their workmen from drink
ing and gambling saloons, Doty Il Nc
Fsrian, manufacturers, Brooklyn, some
time since furnished a room in their
factory with newspapers-daily, weekly
and ilIustrated-and with means for
games and amusements, lighted and
warmed it, and gave its free use to
their employees, male and female
about sixty in number. The expert
ment, they say, has proved complete
success. The hands work more cheer
fully: saloons are forsaken for the
reading room; no blue Mondays dis
turb the operations of the factory; and
workmen and employers are in good
humor.
