A gentleman returned from Saint
Helana has brought some curious
calculations with him. About TWEEN
ty-five French ships ofthe line make
a short stop at the island every year.
A pilgrimage to the tomp of Napo-
leon is the mechanical result. The
enthusiasts never leave Saint Hele-
ma without carrying off the three fol
lowing relics:
Mortar broken off the tomb. A
bit ofthe weeping willow that'droops'
etc. A fragment of the archway
leading to the dining-room; the door
way, it will be recollected, was made
lower at the command of Napoleon,
to educate the martyr Hudson Lowe
to bend on entering. Although the
enthusiasm decays in mathematical
proportions, the officials have calcu-
lated that even allowing for this fall
ing off; the mortar can only last six
years longer; there are but three
years Of life left to the willow which
droops; and only eighteen months
for the educational archway!

Larry is a good-natured, civil fellow,
who attends to his business and
provides well for his family, but has
one failing in this, that when he goes
to his home at night he is usually
more or less under the influence of
contarband fluids. One night he
strated for home with a nice turkey,
safely done up in strong writing
paper; under his arm. Larry found
the road to his house uncommOnly
rough that night. He several times
stumbled and fell over all. sorts of
obstacles in his path. Each time he
fell he dropped his turkey, but con
trived to pick it up again. On enter
ing his house he steadied himself as
well as possible, and said to his wife:
"Here, wifey, I've got 'leven turkeys
for you"
"Leven turkeys. Larry! What do
you mean! There's only one"
"There must be 'leven turkeys,

A little newsboy to sell his paper,
told lie. The matter came up in
Sabbath School.
Would You tell a lie for three

boys.
No, ma'am,' answered Dick, very
decidedly.
For ten centsY
No, ma'am.'
For a dollarI'
No, ma'am.'
For thousand dOllars?'
Dick was staggered. A thousand
dollars looked big. Oh, would itnot
buy lots of things? While he was
thinking, another boy behind him
cried out No ma'am,
why not? asked the teacher.
Because, when the thousand dol
lars are gone, and the things you've
got with them are gone, too the lie
is there the same, answered the boy
Ah, yesl That is so. A lie sticks

Twenty clerks in store. Twenty
hands in a printing Office. Twenty
young men in a village. All want
10 get along in the world, and expect
to.-One of the clerks will rise to be
a partner. One of the cOmpOsitOrs
will own a newspaper, and become
an influential citizen. One of the
apprentices will become a master
builder. One of the villagers will
get a farm, and live a patriarch.
But which is destined to be the
lucky individual? There is no luck
about it. The thing is as plain as
the rule Of three. The young fellow
who will distance his competitors IS
he who masters his business, who
preserves his integrity, who lives
clearly and purely, who never gets
in debt, who gains friends by deserv-
ing them, aud puts his money in the
savings bank. There are some ways
to fortune that looks shorter than
the dusty old highway, but the men
of the community, the men who
achieve something really worth hay.
ing, good fortune and name, and
serene old age, all go this road.

How to fit a Collar TO a Horse.

In purchasing a collar for your
horse, it is important to get one that
fits him, as both the animal and your
self will thus be saved much annoy
ance. The Harness and Carriage
journal says: "The plan adopted
in the West, and which, we are assur-
ed by men who have been long in
the collar business, does not iniure
the collar in the least, is to dip it in
water until the leather is thoroughly
wet, then put it on the horse, secure
the names firmly, keeping it there
until it becomes thoroughly dry. 1t
is all the better if heavy loads are to
be drawn, as that causes the collar
to be more evenly fitted to the head
and shoulders. If possible the col
lar should be kept on from four to
five hours, when it will be perfectly
dry and retain the same shape ever
afterward, and as it is exactly fitted
to the form of the neck, will never
produce shafes or sores on the hors-
e's neck.

A Slight Misunderstanding.

A lady employed young girl
about fifteen years old to assist her
about her house work, and one dav
she was making some cake, and
wished to put in some kind of fruit:
so she set dish down on the table.
with the plums, and told the Girl to
stone them. To show her how, the
mistress took up plum and took
out the stone, with the remark, That
is the way" and then, thinking the
girl understood what she meant, she
put the. plum she had stoned INTO
her mouth, instead of the dish and
went away. What was her surprise,
. short time after, when the girl
came into the room where she was,
and told her she had eaten all she
could? The lady went into the room
where she had been at work and
found that she put all the the stones
in the dish, and eaten nearly all the
plums. The girl told her that she
thought the hard 1pieces-meanin :
Che stones-would soften up when
baksd in the cake.
