of course, no audible result. The by

his loss, but the unexpected pecuniary

Cooperative Success.

THE New York PoSt.gives an interest
ing account of the cooperative printing
house in that city. In May, 1865, twenty
five printers concluded to cooperate. Hav-
ing no money, they subscribed during two
years two dollars each per week, and thus
raised $4,000. They purchased an office
worth 50, 500 for So, 500, and the balance
was expended for more type and materials
Business was commenced, ard two Of the
printers went into the Office TO do such
work as might he had. Soon patronage
increased, and two more were employed.
In short time the whole association were
working in their own establishment under
their own direction. After a year they
had not only received $50 each per week,
but $4,000 were made, which was eXpend-
ed in rent, fuel and materials for eDlarg-
ing their operations
During the present year the profits have
been disbursed for materials, and now
they have an office costing $4,000 and
which is worth $4,000. This gives a saw
ing for each member of $460' besides the
$50 per week, out of which some of them
have probably saved additional resources.
During the next year they expect to
make good dividends Of profits, besides
retaining a reserve fund for enlarging the
ofice. They print several weekly and
monthly journals, This is gratifying
success. Having done so well in the in
fancy of the concern and with little capi-
tai, how much may they not do hereafter ?
II is likely that had they not co-operated
they would be now as they found them
selves in 1s65-destitute of capital. What
is the use of being tho dependent work
ing servants of capitalists, when the more
intelligent laborers can cooperate with

4 Caution 10 Boys.

THOSE ardent juveniles who attend the
circus, admire the gaily- dressed youngsters
who ride the horses and leap the hurdles,
and wish they could go and do likewise,
would be apt to lose their desire if they
knew of the unfortunate condition of the
youthful scrobats, The New York C2tp-
per, under the head of Brutality to Hu.
manity," publishes a long article revealing
some Of the secrets of shows and amuse-
ments, which demands thorough and
searching investigation. According to
the writer there are hut very few out Of
the large number of professional gymnasts
who have young boys apprenticed to them
who do not numerically, habitually and
Illegally Chastise them immoderately, and
submit them TO countless dagradations and
indignities which none, save q hardened
brute, would bestow on a dumb animal.
The helpless sufferers are generally child
rem taken from the public charitable insti-
tutions, or who have been enticed away
from home, and are consequently without
any natural protector to whom they can
appeal for safety. They are, therefore, at
the mercy of heartless rufiians who amuse
themselves by kicking, striking and other
wise ill.treating their "proteges." The
moral of which is that all that glitters is
not gold" and that small boys will do well
not to run away from home and join cir
Gus troupe.

A Pig that Had a Chance.


MosT pigs never have had any chance
TO be respectable. They are fed on the
coarsest food, and shut up in a dirty pen,
where they have no freedom and nc socie-
", and not even pure air and clean bed.
If little boy should be shut up in pig
pen and fed upon slops, and should have
nobody to teach or talk TO him or play
with him, he would grow up coarse and
brutal, If he lived to grow up at all
once knew zig that had good time the
first half year of his life, and as it Is
true story, will tell you all about It.
When he was about month old he was
very plump and pretty, with white bristles
over pink skin, and the farmer who
owned him took fancy 70 him and re-
solved to give him a chance to improve.
So he took him from his dirty little broth
ers and sisters, and gave him nice little
shed all TO himself; in the shed was soft
bed Of clean straw, and the door was lcft
open. 1t was only the pigs bed room,
where ne slept at night and on wet wealth
en- In pleasant days he ran about the
yard and over the green in front OF the
house, and he would have gone into the
house if friend Of his had not taught
him better. This friend was Matte, the
farmers little daughter. She had entire
charge Of the pig, and fed him three times
day with sweet brown bread and milk,
and often ran and played with him as II
he had been dog.

Margaret. Some people only saw her black
veil, but others said that she was weeping
in the old quiet way, ss she would have
went before the fGvered lie Of the last
three months had come to her,
Thon came the procession up to the open
grave, and tho people who were gathered
round heard the burial words, and, at one
word started--oue word but little ex-
pccted. The coffin, with the black in
scripion Gu the glittering silver plate,
showed with most conspicuous clearness
this announcement
"Olivia. wife of Charles Caryll CRANKY,
died Oct Z, aged 90"
Tho news spread. The good old cler-
gyman was appealed to. He could only
show note from Lady Margaret, telling
him that the sick person, once at Mrs
Bonds, and now dead, whom he was to
bury, was not man, but woman; that
she had cOnflded her secret to her, and
that she had been taken away to die as a
woman should.
"She was the wife of Sir GeofTrey's
heir" wrote Lady Margaret. "She had
left him on the morning of their marriage,
having received, on her return from
church, letter from lover whom she
had believed to be dead. Her friends had
ver.persuAded her, knowing to how
large property Capt CRANKY would sue
ceed. She had wandered about for above
year in mans disguise, and then she
formed the project of getting to Kemptor
and casting herself on my protection.
had the happiness of getting her TO see
her husband before she died"
No particulars were ever given; nc
further explanation was ever made.
When Capt CRANKY spoke of Lady
Margaret he said she was an angel.
When went again to Kempton Court
and into the accustomed room, called by
the dearly-loved voice, welcomed by the
much priced embrace, wept tears Of Joy,
knowing what they were saying in the
village, and eohoing the words in my
heart" Such a perfect lady" One day
Capt. CRANKY brought bright young
wife to the Court but who the first poor
bride WAS we never knew. But every
twentieth of June, though there are nt
more .tcte days at Kempton, Mrs. Bond
has her own special rejoicing. There
comes to her regularly twenty. pound

He knew q great deal, toos and he mad

was, he stopped and said, "uehi ughl
