BeautifuI Figure

Two painters were employed to
frescO the walls of n magnificent
cathedral, both stood on n rude scaf-
folding constructed for the purpose,
some eighty feet from the floor.
One Of them was so intent upon his
work that he became wholly absorbed
and in admiration stood from the
picture gazing at it with delight
Forgetting where he was, he moved
backward slowly surveying critically
the work of his pencil, until he had
neared the end of the plank upon
which he stood.
At this critical moment his COM
paniOn turned suddenly, and, almost
frozen with horror, beheld the immi-
nent peril; another instant and the
enthusiast would be preeipitated up
on the pavement beneath if he spoke
to him it was certain death-if he
held his peace death was equally sure.
Suddenly he regained his presence
of mind, and seiZing a wet brush,
flung it against the wall, scattering
the beautiful picture with unsightly
blOtches of cOlOring. The painter
flew forward and turned upon his
friend with fierce imprecatiOns; but,
he listened to the recital of danger,
looked over the dread space below,
and, with tears of gratitude, blessed
the hand that saved him.
So, said a preacher, we sometimes
get absorbed in looking upon the
pictures of this world, and, contem-
plating them, step backward, uncOn-
sciOus of our peril, when the AL
mighty dashes out the beautiful i'm
ages, and We spring forward to lament
their destructiOn-intot the OutstTeteh-
ed arms of mercy, and are sayedi

A Thoroughly TeutOnic Trade.

When lived in Berks county there
were two jolly Germans in the west
ern end, whose names were Peter
ROthecker and John Gross, Peter
had increased the size of his farm by
annexing to it a small tract of land
adjoining, and he lacked about a
hundred dollars of the sum necessary
to pay for his new acquisition. He
called upon his neighbOr John to
borrow the amount. John consented
at once, and going into another room,
he brought out an old bread-basket,
and counted down the desired number
of dollars; and then the two sat down
to two large earthen mugs OF cider,
and as many pipes of tobacco.
After smoking over the matter for a
while, it occurred to Peter that in
similar transactions he had seen or
heard of something like a note pass
ing between the borrower and lender,
and he suggested as much to JOHN
The lender assented to the propriety
of such a course; paper, pen anu ink
were produced; and between the twOa
document was coneOeted, stating that
John had loaned Peter one-hundred
dollars, which Peter would repay to
John in ''tree mont's."
This Peter signed and thus far the
two finaneiers made the thing "all
regular and ship-shape."
But at this point difficulty showed
itself, they both knew that notes were
made in the operation of borrowing
and lending, which they had wit
messed; but neither of them had
observed what disposition was made
of the document; neither could tell
whether it was for the borrower or
lender TO take charge of the paper.
Here was a dilemma! At last q
bright idea struck John.
"You has de money to pay, Peter so
you must dake dis paper, so as you
can see y you has to pay it."
This was conclusive, the common
sense of the thing was unanswerable;
and Peter pocketed the money and
his own note, so "as he could see as
he haf to pay it,"
Three months passed over; and
punetually to the day appeared Peter,
and paid over the promised sum, to
John. This being done, the mugs
and pipes were again brought out.
After putting awhile, Peter pro-
duced the note and handed it to John
with the remark:
NOW, John, you must dake de note
so as you can see the money haf been
paid ~

Teach YOUR BOy a Trade.

OF Is, ,496 prisoners in the peniten-
tiaries of thirty States in 1867, accord
ing to the report of the Prison AssOeia-
ton just issued, q per cent. more than
three-quarters, had not learneda a trade.
Here is text from which DR.. Frank
lin could have preached a fOrcible SER
mon to parents.
The time was when it was not tho't
reputable for parents to leave their
children without trades-unless they
belonged to the class of gentry. In
France, before the revOlution-the
one of l7S9-this provident sentiment
or instinct was so strong that even the
children of the mobiles We're in some
cases taught a light handicraft, and
when the storm of the Reign of Ter
rOr came, and they were expelled from
their homes and deprived of their for
tunes, many of them subsisted by the
trades they had amused themselves
with in more prosperous days.
a man who has a good trade has an
independence. He has need only to
be honest and diligent to secure a
competence. Bread and butter are
sure for him wherever he is. He is
sure always of higher wages than he
who has no trade; and if his genius
and enterprise lead him into some 9TH
er calling, it is always a satisfaction to
know that in case of misfortune he
can return to his trade. He has that
at any rate; failure in business can
not deprive him of it; hisspeculatiOns
may break down, but he has an an
chOr to leeward, as the sailors say; his
subsistence and that of his family are
sure.
In this country, where fortunes,
quickly gained, are also quickly lost,
it is still more necessary and prudent
that every young man should learn a
useful trade, and learn it thoroughly.
No mans future is so secure here, but
that he would do wisely to have his
bOys-and his girls, too, for that mat
ter-learn a trade.
But, instead of that, even the child
ren of mechanics and shOpkeepers are
very seldom "put to a trade,n as the
phrase used to be. They are made
studentsat commercial colleges, ,errand
boys in offices, clerks in dry goods
stores. In fact, anything but trade
for young hopeful, a dOting father and
mother too often declare. The cOnse-
quenee is, there are more young hope
fuls in the country to-day, growing
up idle and shiftless, than the country
can afford to tolerate with existing
prison and alms-hOuse facilities.
Another evil. Go where you please,
you hear from experienced mecban-
les complaints of the incapaeity of
wOrkmen. The apprentice system has
fallen into disuse, and the snobbish
pride against learning trade has so
far tainted the social sentiment of the
day, that it is difficult to procure the
class of intelligent lads who twenty
five years ago thronged most of the
workshops. In their place we get an
inferior class, who do not enter upon
their duties with the desire to thor
Oughly learn a trade. A few dollars
extra wages, instead of skill, is what
they are after, and they are turned out
in the world insufficient workmen,
and without those habits of steadiness
that the old apprentice system mseeured.

Wbv Don't We Feel the Mischief.

The heart is a great muscle, con-
tanning two great chambers. Into
these great chambers the blood goes,
to be pumped out into the lungs, and,
when properly purified, sent again
through the arteries, to the utmost
extremities of the system. In its
entrance and exit, the blood passes
through certain valves, delicate It's
sues, capable Of great injury. Every
drop of alcohol taken into the body
passes through these fine valves, and
its pressure causes your heart to beat,
and your circulation TO increase. This
is the virtue of alcohol as stimulus,
and this is precisely its vice as an
article of daily diet. 1t exhausts the
muscular eontractility, irritability of
that organ, and 1t tends to harden the
tissue-like valves of that life pump
Can you now comprehend how drink
ing freely or moderately for many
years tends to heart-disorders?
A young man went to a beautiful
scene in Yorkshire, where a stream,
through an opening in the limestone
mountain, rushed down upon the
rocks below. AS the water holds car

leaves its traces there. Well, he took
a fancy to select a little rock, and
carved out his initials where the spray
of the water fell. Next time 1
come" says he, "I will look for that
stOne-I shall know my mark. ~
Nearly fifteen years elapsed before he
went again. The mark was not to be
found, it had been covered with the
incrustations. What had done this?
The falling spray of that season? No.
The season before; No; but every
drop that had fallen since the mark
had been carved.
And so it is if you take this alcohol
day by day; it leaves its foot prints
upon that heart, and the day at last
comes when the elasticity of some one
of its valves is destroyed, when it
ceases to open, or, opening, ceases to
closet "He who despises little things
shall perish little by little. ."-Dr. f.

THE CHRONICLE.
A BIRDS NEST.
BY FLORENCE PERCY.

over my shaded doorway
Two little brown-winged birds
Have chosen to fashion their dwelling,
And utter their loving words;
All the day they are going and coming
On errands frequent and fleet,
And warbling over and over,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet!'
Their necks are changeful and shining,
Their eyes are like living gems;
And all day long they are busy
Gathering straws and stems,
Lint, and feathers, and grasses,
And half-forgetting to eat,
Yet never failing to warble,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet!'
scatter crumbs on the doorstep,
And fling them some flossy threads
They fearlessly gather my bounty,
And turn up their graceful heads,
And chatter and dance and fiutter,
And scrape with their tiny feet,
Telling me over and over,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o Sweet!'
What if the sky is clouded!
What if the rain comes down?
They all are dressed to meet ii,
In waterproof suits of brown.
They never NOPE nor languish,
Nor murmur at storm or heat,
But say, whatever the weather,
Sweetest, sweet, sweet, o sweet y
Always merry and busy,
Dear little brOwn-winged birds!
Teath me the happy magic
Hidden in those soft words,
Which ALWAYS, in shine or shadow,
So lovingly you repeat,
Over, and over, and over,

AN ART-PUPIL.-That eminent
sculptor, Mr.. Gibson, told Mr.. Lay
ard that one day he went into his
study, and there found an American
physician and his daughter, who. as
the father said, used to be getting
hands and feet from his dissecting-
room, and modelling them, and at last
insisted on going to Rome, and study
ing under Mr.. Gibson. Now that gen
tleman did not take pupils, for he
found they generally came to teach
him, instead of learning from him
but he told the lady to call next day,
when he set her to model in clay a
bust of Medusa. Next day he went
and found an uncOmnOnly good copy;
but he thought, eff tell her it is 'an
excellent copy shall turn her head"
So he said, mot bad, but you can do
better, try again." and defaced the
copy. Next day she did better. and
the advice and defaeing were repeat
ed. The third day he really was sur
prised to see what she had done, and
took her as pupil, on account of her
spirit of perseverance and willingness
to be thorough. She is now the dis
tinguished seulptress-NIiss Hosmer.
