The WHITE NET THE BLUE-A
Maine paper tells the following. The
white paper powder met the blue paper
powder, and, per consequence, nearly
blew the verdant drinker all to smither.
eens 1t will do to read.
4 few days since colored lad entered
a drug store in Portland with what he
described as an ssawful feeling in de stom.
ach. jest like it wor full of fish-hooks and
angle-worms," and demanded 'ssetter
powder" as ::he had been advised that
would give relief Accordingly the seid-
Iitz powders were dissolved in seperafe
glasses, as usual. and placed before him,
with instructions to pour one into the
other and drink while effervescing. But
the sable youth did nothing of the sort.
Instead of following the directions, he
hastily drank off the contents of one glass
and Immediately swallowed the other
The effect may be imagined, but not de-
scribed. The effervesence which should
have taken place in the glass before 10
was drank, took place in the bcwildercd
darkey's stomach. sending streams Of tho
frothy liquid from his mouth, nose. eyes
and ears. As soon as the roor fel.ov
could recover breath, he cried out in
frightened terms: MY stomach has bust-
ed; l can't live minute," In a few mo.
ments, however, he felt better, and turn
ing to depart, he said: "Dat stuff may
work we'll nuff on the white trash, bal
it's sure death to a niger"

THE MEN VINO SUCCEED.

Take twenty boys M sixteen. in our
or any city in the State, and let them
go to work, three or four in a dry
good store, boot and shoe or black
smith establishment and printing of
fees. In ten years they will have be-
come men OF twenty-six, and the ma
jority Of them will be about as far
along in the business as they ever will
be- One or two only in each of the
above branches will be established in
business fof themselves or connected
with some firm doing good business
and they will be barely getting living
and growing about their poor luck
Now we assert that there is good rea-
son for their poor success, and that
luck has but little to do with it.. If
We take the trouble TO ascertain the
real facts in their several cases. we
shall find that those young men who
became masters in their trades. or
leading men in their pursuits were
not afraid to work, and were deter
mind to succeed. They looked be-
Fyond the day and week. They made
themselves valuable and useful to
their employers, by becoming always
faithful, reliable and willing to do
what they could for the interest of
those for whom they worked. When
a press of business came, they were
ready and willing to work extra hours,
and without sulking or grumbling,
well knowing that business must be
attended to when it came, and that
there were plenty of dull times during
the year, which would more than
counterbalance any extra briskness of
the busy season. To sum it all up,
these young men Unidentified them
selves with the establishments where
they were employed, became useful
to their employers, in fact, fixtures,
who could be lily spared, and in due
course of time, having gained expert
ence, were invited to take hand with
the already established house, or else
boldly strike out for themselves
Here, then, is the lesson, which is, il
you wish to become successful mas
ters, learn first to become faithful ser
wants.
