READING ONES OWN OBITUARY.-In
the days of Mycall, publisher of the New.
buryport Mass Herald, the sheriff OF
old Essex, Philip Bagley, had been asked
several times to pay up his arrears of sub
scription.
At last, one day he told Mycall that he
Would certainly hand over the next
morning as sure as he lived. If you dc
not get your money tomorrow. you may
be sure l am dead, said he.
The morrow came and passed, but nc
money Judge of the sheriffs feelings
when, on the morning Of the after, he
opened his Herald, and saw announced
the lamented decease Of Philip Bagley
Esq, High Sheriff of the county of Essex
with an obituary notice attached, giving
the deceased credit for many excellen,
traits of character, but adding that he
had one fault very much to be deplorcd-
he was not punctual in paying the prin
ter.
Bagley, without waiting for his break
fast, started for the Herald office. On
the way, it struck him as singular that
none of his many acquaintance and
friends he met seemed surprised to set
ing paper. Was it possible they cared
so little about him as to have forgotten
already that he was no more Full Of
pertur baton, he entered tho printing of
fee to deny that he was dead, in propria
persona.
"Why, Sheriff." exclaimed the facetious
editor, 81 thought you were defunct."
"Defunct exclaimed the Sheriff. What
put the idea into your head n
why, you, yourself" said Mycall
did you not tell me"
"Oh ! alb yes see stammered out
the Sheriff "Well, there's your money
And now contradict the report in the
next paper if you please"
That's not necessary, fir end Bagley,
said the old joker: sit was only printed
in your copy"
The good Sheriff lived many years af
ter this "sell, and to the day of his rea
death, always took good care to pay the
printer.

and take little more pal ns in handling
dishes. Many housekeepers would have
taken the price of that pitcher you
cracked out Of your wages, and | am not
sure but | shall adopt some such plan in
future"
The young girl took the money with a
moody look, and went about her task with
n heavy, rc-entful spirit; These hard
words she felt were nndeserved as she
had tried to please by doing her work

Then followed some excellent advice to
the young girl, which was listened to
with the deepest respect, and which gave
her some new and valuable idea on the
subject. of what was tasteful and becom.

and wrought over the plastic mind into
something far better than the early prom.

FAIRHAyEN.-Very many of our Slate
Quarries pay at once upon opening, that
is after d few feet of dirt is removed,
they come upon stock fit for the mill or
roofing slate. In other quarries they are
Obliged to 20 deeper, and in others they
find 80 much flint that after several thou
sands have been expended, they are oblig-
ed to give up the quarry.
Slate is now channeled in the quarry az
marble IL. Large blocks are taken from
the quarry, broken and taken to the shan
ty, where men are engaged splitting it
preparatory to having it trimmed or cut
into roofing slate.
When slate comes from the quarry it is
quite moist 1t should be split soon after
it comes from the quarry, or be kept moist
in the shade, in order TO have it present
smooth surface. Any one by an exam
nation OF roofing slate can tell about how
long it has been from tho quarry by its
smoothness. One man will trim az fast as
two will split.
IA ioot III thiChHeSS VI BOou BUCK, Wueu
fresh from the quarry, yields upon an
average 55 slate. Stock that is large
enough is usually taken from many Of the
quarries to the mill and sawed with a
circular saw; it then goes to palmer,
and is planned down to the required thick
ness; then to the jig saw and cut to the
required shape; then to the stone cutters,
who carve it into every conceivable shape
1t is then rubbed down with sand, tn en-
passes into the hands of the painter who
puts on coat of oil paint. 1t then goes
to the oven, which is heated from $50 deg.
to 1870 deg, and remains about II hours.
Then it goes to the marbelizer, who mar
bellies it to sui his taste after it is mar
belized it presents a very handsome piece
of work. Before it leaves his hands it il
baked about six nights; it is then var
nished and polished, the last polishing
being done by the bare hand Pictures
are now being transferred to the slate,
and the attempt is soon to be made to
transfer photographs. II this can be done
