From the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser. I
How Poor Boys Reach the Top Round.

There are 1913 names who pay an in
come tax in this city. Sixty seven persons
who pay tax on incomes of 800, 900 or
over. Most of these solid gentlemen are
self-made men, who have come up from the
lowest round of the ladder. The man who
leads the list, A. Il. Stewart, everybody
knows is an Irish emigrant, who commenc-
ed life with a capital of less than twenty
five cents; indeed, with few exceptions,
most of the parties in the list were scarce
as well Off as Mr.. Stewart. Take Henry
Keep, he boasts thst he graduated from
the poor house at jefferson county. Jay
Gould drove a herd of cattle from Delhi,
Delaware county, when lad for fifty cents
a day, in order to get money enough to
reach the Hudson river. David Groespecl,,
over thirty years ago, used to mend old
shoes for his BROTHER who was respecta-
bic shoemaker in Albany. We all know
the history of James Gordon Bennett, Rot-
ert Bonner, poor boys full of talent and in
dustry. Rufus Hatch, when a youngster,
had an ambition to hold the rens of ped
dler's wagon. E. D. Morgan commenced
life with quarter measure of molasses.-
1t is scarce dozen years since Henry Clews
was an Grand boy in one of the banking
houses down town. The brothers Seligman
started out in life with a peddler's pack
David BOWS, in his younger days. retailed
pork by the half pound and molasses by
the gill. H. T. Helmbold was first cabin
boy on the sloop Mary Jane, that navigated
the Delaware river We might go on
through the list and show that nearly every
one of these solid men were the architects
of their own fortunes. Young men who
are struggling for place and position should
remember that the individuals in the list
had to battle for life just as hard as they
are doing. Let them take heart and never
say die.
Honor and shame from no condition rise,
Act well your part-there all the honor
lies.

COFFEE AS A C1vILIZER.-Dr. Draper pre-
sents a very strong case in favor of coffee
as civilizing agent. He says Those
who have made it a subject of study and
examination, tell us that when prepared as
a strong effusion, without milk, coffee acts
powerfully on the sympathetic system and
the organs supplied by it, quickening their
action and increasing their vitality, that it
renders the contraction of the heart and
other muscles more powerful enables the
body to resist cold, moisture and the deadly
poison of miasmatic districts counteracts
the languor of torrid climes prevents or
ameliorates attacks of spasmodic asthma,
and alleviates laxity of the kidney and
bladder. 1t also acts with energy ON the
brain, removing the sensation of fatigue
and disposition to sleep, which has always
made it favorite with students. 1t obvi-
ates the excessive indulgence in the use Of
wine and spirits, is an antidote to opium,
bella dona, and the vegetable poisons which
act upon the BRAIN and relieves the nervous
headache to which many are subject. In
brief, it is not merely fashionable pota-
tion-it is one of the great civilizing agents
for by increasing the power of accomplish
ing brain and muscle work, it has increased
the power and influence of man.

" BY the Sea-
BY IDA {. CAMERON.

O, happy, golden, summer sun
That smiles upon the summer day,
! Whose golden shadows, one by one,
! Fall down on snowy flakes of spray;
Stern waves that dash upon the beach,
Then come with kisses from the shore,
To wash the rocks beyond our reach,
Then go again forevermore.
Bright. radiant, summer afternoon,
Too rich with glory long to stay;
Crowned with the treasures fair of June,
And fading with the sun away.
Down at our feet the huge rocks sleep,
The cool air fans our heated brow,
The bright waves whirling, swell and break
Our shingled beach and vessel PROV.
Across the billowy wastes of foams.
Rise forest monsters, huge and old;
That messy peak-a hermit'S home,
Now sleeping meath the June suns gold
No white cross marks his resting place.
He found no Norembega" here,-
Gods mercy maybe, or his grace
No mourner brought to shed tear.
The day grows dark and darker still,
And shrouds in night its golden glory;
The waves dash Ter the rocks at will,
Moaning to me their wild weird story.
So the sweet day is gathered in peace to the
And will necer return, All, NEVER. [past,
But its beauty forever, and ever will last
AS a link in "Memory's' chain so vast,
That no SORROWS on earth can sever.

The MANUFACTURE OF IyoRY.-Ivory is
used for the manufacture of combs, piano
keys, &c. The elephants tusks are pur-
chased at from $3.50 to s. per pound. The
tusks received vary from six to nine feet in
length, the former being about the average
They have been found weighing ninety
pounds, though the average is but seventy
pounds. The tusks are hollow in the cen
tire up 10 the point where they grow out of
the heads, while 4 small nerve runs clear
to the tip of the tusk. The tusk is
sawed into semi-circular blocks, and again
sawed either into the length of the comb
OF of a piano-key, as may be required. A
fine saw, carefully watched, then cuts off
the strips for combs. The ends are then
rounded and the ivory partially dried in
an ivory planning machine. The combs
after being planned and sorted, are bleached
in the blcach-house, and then polished on
smooth wheel on which a cloth with some
unknown dressing has been placed. The
teeth are then sawed with imported saws,
most finely tempered, and as thin as the
thinnest paper-so thin that they cut from
forty to seventy teeth to the inch The
combs are then dampcned, when they are
pointed on Il very curious machine with
very rapid motion. This completes the
combs. The process with piano-forte keys
is in some respect similar.

PHENOMENA OF THE BRAIN.-One of the
most uncomfortable things in the nature of
the brain is that, although the organ of
sensation, it should itself be insensible. To
cut the brain gives no pain; yet in the brain
resides the power of feeling pain in any
part of the body. If the nerve which leads
to it from the injured part he divided, we
become instantly unconscious of suffering.
1t is only by communication with the brain
that any kind of sensation is produced yet
the organ is itself insensible. But there is
a circumstance more wonderful still. A
certain portion of the brain itself may be
removed without destroying life. The an
imal lives and performs all those functions
which are necessary to simple vitality, but
it has no longer mind. 1t cannot think
or feel. 1t requires that the food should
be pushed into its stomach; once there, it
is digested, and the animal will ,ven thrive
and grow fat We infer therefore, that
part of the brain is simply intended for the
exercise of the intellectual faculties wheth-
er of the lower degree, called instinct, or
that exhalted kind bestowed on man, called
reason.
