How TO KEEP a SITUATIoN.-The follow
ing bit of good advice is from the Rorking-
Nan, and is worthy the attention of all our
readers:
Lay it down as foundation rule, that YOU
will be faithful in that which is least" Pick
up the loose uails, bits Of twiue, clean wrap
ping paper, and put them in their places. Be
ready TO throw in a odd half hour or hours
time, when it will be an accommodation. aud
don't seem to make a merit of it. Do it
heartily. Though not word be said, be sure
your employer will make a note of IT, Make
yourself Indispensable to him, and be will
not part with you.
Those young men who watch the time to see
the very second their working hour is up
who leave, no matter what state the work may
be in, at precisely the iDstsnt-Who calculate
the extra amount they can slight their work.
and yet not get reproved-Who are lavish of
their employers goods, will always be the first
to receive notice that times are dull, and their
services are no longer required.

THE OLD TURNPIKE.

We hear no more the clan ging hOof,
And the stage. coach rattIing by,
For the steam king rules the travel world,
And the old pike's left tn die.
The grape cFeeps DER the fiinty path,
And the steGIthy daisies steal
where once the stage horse, day by day,
Lifted his iron heel.
No more the weary stsger dreads
. The toll of the coming morn;
No more the bustling landlord runs
At the sound of the echoing horn;
For the dust Lies still upon the road,
And the bright eyed children play
Where once the Gathering hOOf and wheel
Ratified along the way.
No more We hear the cracking whip,
And the stTOng wheel'H rumblinG s-und;
And ah the water drives on,
And an iron horse IL found!
The coac stands rusting in the yard,
The hOrse has sought the pillow,
We have spAnned the world with an iron rail.
And the steam king rules US now.
The old turnpike is u pike NO more;
Wide open stands the gate;
We have made ur q road for our horse to stride
And We ride at flying rate;
We have filled the valleys and IevelIed the hills
Aud tunEelled the untain eide,
And around the rough cTag's dizzy verge
FeNTlessly now we ride.
Ou-on-On-with a naughty front,
A pull. shrek, nd u bound;
While the tardy echoes wake too late
To echo bA K the sound;
Aud the old pike road is left alone,
Aud tue stageTs seek the piOw;
We have ciTcled the Garth with an iron rail,
Aud the steam king rules us now.

WATER-IcEs--These are an agreeable
change from ice cream, and are by many con-
sidered preferable to it. They may be made
from any juicy fresh fruit. Pineapple. or
anges, Taspbeuys and currant are the fruits
most commonly used. = syrup is made in
the proportion Of one pound of the best white
sugar to a pint of water. Iftbe sugar is clean,
this will need no straining or clarifying.-
Equal parts Of this syrup and fruit juice are
used and froze in the manner as ice cream
In freezing, WateT-ices require more thorough
stirring than ice cream. to prevent them from
becoming lumpy. The addition of lemon
juice will improve the favor Of pine apple and
other water ices from fruits that do not con-
tain much natural acidity.

TaE VENGENcE OF A FATHER.-ErLra-
OTCiiHGEy aud 4 A6acting Scene az COurt.-In
one Of the New York city courts, on Tuesday
last an examination was had in the case of
Hugh Blessing who stabbed James McCiOld-
rick. Julia, the daughter of Blessing, testified
that McGOldrick had ruined her, aud when
she asked him to redeem his promise of mar
riage, he said, "GO poison yourself" The
father was then asked if he denied stabbing
the complainant, and replied, "Deny stabbing
him! No, sir; l did it, and intended to kill
him." Here she man was seized with hys-
terics, and shouted, "Oh, God kill me here,
judge, where stand. What have to live
forY My peace is gone. The coward has
ruined my daug ghter, aud am crazy" Then
his wife passed into hts, aud both were removed
from the courtroom. The complainant pro-
duced james Burns, who swOre that Julia and
himself had transgressed the bonds Of decency.
Here the girl clasped her hands, and said,
"Oh, judge, that is not true. Oh father,
help me" and clasping her arms about the neck
Of her weeping parent she tainted, aud was
carried out OF court. The Judge then said :
81 have examined this case ut length for the
purpose Of learning il the father had beeu
justified in aVenging the wrong alleged to have
been committed by the complainant. He had
heard the evidence, aud while his sympathy
was with the prisoner at the bar, the law CON-
PEELED him to place Mr.. Blessing under $500
bail to answer" The bail was Immediately
offered and accepted, the trial to come of be-
fore the Court OF General Session.

- Prof Torrey, Of Grady's Circus, made a
balloon ascension from Dayton, Ohio, a few
days since. initiating his balloon with hot air
from furnace set in the ground. just ,s the
airshiP rose from the earth. the lower part of
1t caught FIRE, unknown TO the ;cronaut, who
went through number of evolutiOns on the
traPeze, suspended by ropes from the car At
the height Of 1000 feet the fire blazed around
the balloon, which, with the cooling of the
hot air, caused rapid descent. Fortunately
the burning globe iu contact with a
willow tree, when Turrey, leaping into the
branches, broke his fall by swapping large
limb, and sustained no more serious injury
than n spraiucd ankle as he fell upon the
ground. The ascent, or more properly the
descent, is described as the mos. exeitin ex-
hibitiOn of the kind ever witnessed in Mont
gomery county.
