SOMETHING FOR THE SPELLING
ScHooL.-Many persons have read, at
one time or another, a little anecdote
about the late Lord Palmerston, which
tells us how that jovial nObleman once
gave eleven of his associates in the cabi-
net sentence to spell, and how not II
single one of the eleven got through it
without laundering. The sentence was:
at is disagreeable to witness the em.
barrassment of harrassed peddler
gauging the symmetry of peeled po-
tato." There are here several words
which it is very easy to misspell, but
correspondent sends to the New York
Ereniag Post a sentence which he says
ION the authority Of Lord Robert Cecil)
was actually given out to school in
Ipswich, by the side Of which the Pal
merstonian test becomes ridiculously
easy. 1t runs thus:
"While hewing yew, Hugh lost his eve. and
| put II in the Hue and Cry.
To name its faces dusky hues
Was all the effort he could use,
You brought the eve back. bye and bye,
And only begged the hewer's ever.
| Your hands to wash a little pure.
| Lest nice nosed ladies, not a few,
| Should cry on coming near you, ugh"

he met on the road. Yes, sir said the
boy, do you see our barn there" 'les,'

hundred yards beyond the barn you
will find a lane. Take that lane. Take
that lane and follow on about a mile

A SAD STORY While labOrers We're
recently demOlishing an old building
on Twenty-sevcnth street, New York,
they discovered in rats nest roll OF
bills amounting to $3.50. About eight
years ago, one of the occupants OF the
house lost the money. AT the time Of
this loss young man named William
Cummings clerk in a tea store, was
boarding at the house, and as he was
the last one seen in the room prior to
the loss, he was suspected of the rob-
berry, and on being arrested, was con
victed of the crime and sent to prison.
With character ruined and bereft OF
friends, he gave way to dissipation
and eventually died on Blackwclfs Is

The Influence Of the Moon upon
Babies.

The moon is thought by old wives TO
influence the life of child. Thus the
child born on the first day of the new
moon Is fortunate in all his undertake
ings, and will live long; one born on
the fifth day will be vain and deceitful;
one born on the sixth will live long;
one born on the seventh will have
life of trouble; one born on the ninth
will be rich; one born on the tenth will
be a great traveller; one born on the
tenth will be devotee to religion; one
born on the sixteenth will be grateful
and unfortunate: one born on the eight
eenth will be brave; one born on the
nineteenth will be full of malice; one
born on the twenty. first will be strong
and healthy, but selfish; one born on
the twenty second will be cheerful, but
inclined to low society; one born on the
twenty-third will be ungovernable,will
forsake family and friends and wander
in foreign country-unhappy through
life; one born on the twenty-fourth will
have extraordinary ability; one born
ON the twenty-fifth will be desperately
wicked and come to fearful death;One
born on the twenty-seventh will be
amiablc; one born on the thirtieth will
have The acme of all good gifts, tempo
raj and spiritual.

should it chance to outlive its infancy
it will bring sorrow and disgrace to all
belonging to it. A babe that cries at
its christening will live long; If you
bathe it on Sunday it will be sorrow
free; if on Thursday it will grow
beautiful; if on Wednesday it will grow
fat; if on Friday all its sins will be for

There are certain other superstitions
applying to grown people: II you cut

at the full; as the moon wanes your
hair will fall out. If you don new
clothes on Sunday you'll be happy; if
on Monday, they'll tear; if on Tues.
day, they'll burn; if on Wednesday,
you'll have plenty; ifOn Friday, you'll
be unlucky; if on Saturday,you won't

or openly, is little suspicious regard

In the Nineteenth Ward, bordering
on the East River, can be seen very
neat little two-story frame-house cover
ing almost an entire square, surrounded
by beautiful garden, the occupant and
owner of which, though a German, is
what we call one of the selfmade men
of New York, and ranks among the
wealthiest. Though man of little or
no cducation,it would make ones blood
run cold to listen to his daring exploits,
and the many adventures that he has
passed through under the streets of our
city Some fifteen years ago he landed
in this country perfect stranger, and
with but little money this he had the
pleasing satisfaction, if such we may
call it, of being robbed of on his very
first night in the city at German
boarding house in Greenwich street.
His vocation at home was that of II
night-scavenger, and he was not long
in procuring a situation in the same
business in this city. For five years he
followed the same as an employee, which
enabled him to save considerable money.
During the time he had frequently
found many valuables, and SO persist

quently been compelled to clean them
out, and was as much at home in these
narrow and filthy passage-ways as upon
the streets. The leading contractors in
the above business found him so valua-
BILE and so daring an explorer that they
were continually calling his services
into requisition. There is hardly II
sewer on the island in which he has
not been; and he seemed to take great
interestin watching the building ofnew
sewers and drains. He knows their
size, length, every turn and crook, their
inlets and outlets, and claims to have
many haunts below the ground, where,
by the force of water, valuables that are
lost are sure to settle ere they can be
carried ont into the river. 1t will be
remembered it was but few weeks ago
that man was arrested in Hoboken
with quite number of valuable arti'
cles in basket, and 1t was discovered
that he had got them out of the sewers
> of Now York. Now, many presumed
that this was n new business, the like
never having been heard of before, yet
this is not so. There are quite number
mostly Germans, who follow this samt
business; but they are very careful no
to divulge the same, as it is said they
are making an independent fortune. i
is regularly established business il
France and Germany, and in many pla
ces they pay so much for the proceed
of the sewers. 1t is said that there hav'
p, been those who have tried to accuston
