CONQUER WITH KINDNESS.

I once had neighbor-a clever man
who came to me one day and said, "Esquire
White, I want you to come and get your
geese away"
"Why," said I, "what are my geese do
ing?
''They pick my pigs ears when they ore
eating, and drive them away; and l will
not have it.
What can I do" said 1.
"You must yoke them"
ssThat I have not time to do now,' said
II. 81 do not see but they must run"
eff you don't take care of them I shall, y
said the shoemaker in anger.-''What do
you say, Esquire White ?"
81 cannot take care of them now, but l
will pay for all damages"
"Well," said he, ''you will find that a
hard thing, guess"
So off he went, and heard q terrible
squalling among the geese. The next news
was that three of them was missing. My
children went aud found them terribly
mangled and dead, and thrown into the
bushes.
"Now," said I call keep still and let me
punish him. In few days the shoema-
kers' hogs broke into my corn. I saw
them, but let them remain long time. At
last, I drove them all out, picked up the
corn which they had torn down, and fed
them with it in the road. By this time the
shoemaker came up in great haste after
them. .
"Have you seen any thing of my hogs p
said he. -
eyes, Sir: you will find them yonder
eating some corn which they tore down in
my field"
"In your feld?"
eyes, SIR" said I, 'hogs love corn, you
know: they were made to eat il"
"How much mischief have they done. "
go not much" said I. Well off he
went to look, and estimated the damage to
be equal to bushel and half of corn.
30 no." said I ''it can't be i!
eyes," said the shoemaker, "and 1 will
pay you every cent of the damage"
The shoemaker blushed and went home.
The next winter when he came to settle, the
shoemaker determined to pay me for my
corn.
"No," said I, "I shall take nothing"
After some talk we parted but in few
days I met him on the road, and we fell in
to conversation in the most friendly man
ner. But when I started on, he seemed
10th to move, and paused. For a moment
both of US were silent. At last he said:
81 have something laboring on my mind. l"
"Well, what is t?"
"Those geese. I killed three Of your
geese, and l shall never rest until you know
how I feel. I am very sorry" And the
tears came into his eyes.
90 WE'LL" said I, "never mind / sup
pose my geese were provoking"
never took anything from him for it /;
but when my scattle broke into his fields
after this, he seemed glad. because he could
show how patient he could be.
''Now," said to my children "conquer
yourselves, and you can conquer with kind.

A WITNEss.-A Yankee having told an
Englishman that he shot, on one particular
occasion, nine hundred and ninety-nine
snipes, his interlocutor asked him why he
didn't make it thousand at once.
"No" said he, mot likely I'm going to
tell lie for one snipe."
Whereupon the Englishman, rather riled
and determined, not to be outdone, began
to tell long story of a man having swan
from Liverpool to Boston. ~
ssDid you see him yourself?' asked the
Yankee.
"Well, of course I did. I was coming
over, and our vessel passed him mile ou
of Boston harbor."
"Well, I'm glad ye saw him stranger, be
cause yer witness that I did .it. Tha'
was me"

LAUGHTER.-Laughter is not q foolish
thing; sometimes there is even wisdom in
it. Solomon himself admits there is time
to laugh as well as time to mourn. Man
only laughs-man, the highest organized
being; and hence the definition that has
been proposed of him, a ''laughing animal: ="
Certainly it defines him as we'll as "cook-
ing ANIMAL" "tool-making animal" a
'smoney-making animal a political ami
mal," or such like. Laughter very often
shows the bright side of a man. 1t brings
out his happier nature, and shows of what
sort of stuff he is really made. Somehow
we feel as if we never thoroughly know a
man until we hear him laugh. The solemn,
sober visage, like Sundays dress, tells
nothing of the real man. He may be very
silly, or very profound; very cross, or very
Ijolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we can
decipher him at once and tell how his heart
beats. We are disposed to suspect the man
who never laughs. AT all events, there is
repulsion above him which we cannot get
over. Lavater says, "Shun the man who
never laughs, who dislikes music or the glad
face of child" This is Whist everybody
feels, and none more than children, who are
quick at reading characters, and their
strong instinct rarely deceives them.

sCIENTIFICAL RAsCALITY IN TRADE

SC1ENTlFlCAL tASCALlI1 IN lhADC.
1t is no longer secret of the chemist s
laboratory that clear, golden syrups can be
made from starch and sulphuric acid; that
delicious wines and brandies can be made
from beet root, with others for flavor; that
barrel of peanuts can be transformed into
excellent coffee; that lard can absorb an
enormous quantity of water in certain con-
ditions; that, in fact, there seems no limit
to the adulterations that an intelligent and
dishonest chemist can practice upon his fel-
low men. All these marvels of chemical
science have in these latter days become de-
graded into mere tricks of trade, and their
chief beauty is in their capacity to enable
unscrupulous dealers to lig ghten the pockets
and destroy the stomachs of the confding
and consuming public. Concerning the ar
ticle of champagne, writer tells US that it
is made from thousand different substan-
ces-even refined petroleum. Yes, from the
fiery henzoles sparkling, bubbling cham
pagne can be produced, which will delight
the eye, tickle the palate, gladden. the heart
momentarily-but quicken our PAGES to-
wards the graveyard. This is a new use
for petroleum, which those who have been
experimenting with it as an agency for
generating steam have little dreamed Of
Who can say that the Pennsylvania oil ter
ritory, now considered mostly worthless,
may not some day be regenerated into the
greatest champagne producing country in
the world.

Wood CHoPp1NG AS A CURATIvE.-The
woods are my special department. When
ever can save Saturday for the farm, l
try to give good part of it to my patch of
forest. The axe is the healthiest imple-
ment that man ever handled, and is espe-
cially so for habitual writer's and other SEN
dentary workers, whose shoulders it throws
back, expanding their chests and opening
their lungs. Ifevery youth and man, from
fifteen to fifty years old, could WELD an axe
two hours per day, dyspepsia would vanish
from the earth, and rheumatism become
decidedly scarce. am poor chopper
yet the axe is my doctor and delight. Its
use gives the mind just enough occupation
to prevent it's falling into reverie or alb
sorbing trains of thought, while every mus,
Gle in the body receives sufficient yet not
exhausting exercise. I wish all our boys
would learn to love the axe.

TOO MUCH MONEY.

MIR. P, wealthy man retired from bust,

were apparent. "You are right" +" said he,
Gas regards the probable success OF the
scheme, but I shall not embark in 1t. l

He was asked to explain, and remarked,
eyes, I would not cross the street to gain
thousands. should be happier if my in
come were less. + am old, and in year or
two, whatever I possess will avail me
naug ght. My daughters are dead, and l
have three sons whom I dearly love. My
own education had been neglected; my for
tune was gained by honest labor and care
full economy I had no time for study, but
I resolved that my sons should have every
advantage. They each received classical
education, and I then gave them the choice
of a profession. The eldest would be
a physician, the second chose the law, the
third resolved to follow my footsteps as a
merchant. This was all to my mind; l
was proud of my sons, and trusted one day
to see them distinguished, or at least use
full to their fellow-men. [ had spared no
expense in their training they had never
wanted money for I gave to each liberal
allowance. Never had men fairer opportu-
mites, but look at the results. The physi-
clan has no patients; the lawyer no clients /;
while the merchant-instead of following
my examples above visiting his counting

gence. What is the response? There is
no use, father-we shall never want money;
we know you have enough for all Thus,
instead of being energetic and useful mem
bers of society, my sons are mere idlers
and men of main display. Had they been
forced to struggle against difficulties to gain
their professions, and were, even now, de-
pendent on their own exertions for support,
they would in all probability, have done
credit to themselves and me.
