EAITHFULNESS TO EMPLOFERS.

There is no greater mistake young
man can commit than that Of being
Indifferent to the interests of his
employer. 1t must be admitted that
there are circumstances under which
it would seem almost impossible to
feel an interest in an employers busi-
ness, but for all that it Is worth a trial.
Be faithful in small things; be atten-
tive to your duties shirk no employ
ment that is not dishonorable feel
that your employer is fairly entitled
to every minute of the time which
you have agreed to give for stipula-
ted remuneration. The wages may
be snall-toO small-but If you have
contracted to work fora dollar week
when your work is worth ten, stick
to your bargain like man until your
term of service has expired. 1t may
seem very hard, but it will instill the
great principle of being true to your
word. Such faithfulness will not fail
to impress an employer faYorably,
and when that point is reached, your
reward is almost sure TO follow, for
the master who finds he has an ap-
prentice whois honest and capable,
will not readily dispense with his ser
vices. The misfortune with too many
boys is that their ambition is not to
try how well they can perform work
assigned them, and how much of it
they can do, but to do no more and no
better than the pay they are to receive
will justify. 1t is wrong, also, on the
part of an employer. to withhold a
fair equivalent for the services render
ed. In such system there is gener-
ally as poor work as poor pay. We have
found as the result of many years of
practical experience, that the best paid
employers are those whose labor is
the most profitableto theiFemployers.
and this fact can be demonstrated in
a dozen establishments within five
minutes walk of our Office. On the
other hand, the employer who tries to
secure the largest anountof good work
from poorly paid hands, generally
fails of his object. The true method
is for the young man to make himself
a competent workman, and then
to prove his ability by the quantity
and quality Of the work he turns out.

Voyage Of the Steamer Congress to
DlscO--B beautiful AurOral Displays.

NEW York, Aug. ga special
dispatch from st. John, Newfound-
land, announces the return there from
Greenland of the United States ship
! Congress, she having made the voyage
of twenty-five hundred miles to Disco,
latitude ZOE, In less than thirteen run
ming days. The Congress left st.
John on August 8, and anchored at
Disco on the 10th. On the trip she
passed hundreds ofimmense ieebergs,
but encountered no pack ice. The
season is very open, not unlike May
in New York. On the advance trip
daylight was perpetual, and sun be-
low the horizon but for short time,
and the twilight was sufficient to read
by all night. u t.. -
The display of aurora borealis were
extremely grand, the meteoric lights
assuming the appearances of magnifi-
cent arches, columns, scrolls and
spiral stairways.
The Polaris, with Captain Halls
party, was found in Disco, in good
spirits, and hopeful Of their enter
pris. r,5,
A regular summer was found in
Greenland, the flowers blooming,
brooklets flowing, birds singing, and
babies rollicking on the grass. In
going to the big glacier, the perspira-
ton rolled of like rain n-drops.
A most cheerful reception of the
party was accorded by the Danish
authorities. s 81 --l

An Underground RAILWAY.

Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is the firsi
city in the United States to put an
underground railway into practical
operation. 1t is not so large as the
Metropolitan of London, but serves its
purpose, and is due to the energy OF
one manufacturer entirely. The rail-
way in question is in a tunnel rum
ming between the cotton mills No. ,
and of Mr.. John Farmham, of Phila-
delphia, the sole proprietor of these
mills. This tunnel connects the tower
of mill No. with that of No. 3, and
runs under Price street, a total dis
tance of $50 feet. 1t is intended to
econOmize labor and expedite the
transmission of goods from one mill
to another. For this purpose a rail-
road is laid in the tunnel on which
platform car viii be run. The tun-
mel is arched with brick, is seven feet
high and six feet in width, and as
above stated, $50 feet in length. A
great convenience in the handling of
goods will thus be afforded by q little
engineering skill. The mill concern.
ed by this underground railway en-
plOy no less than 800 hands, including
men woman and children.

Dreams to be Made Useful.

The London Lancet has published
paper by DR.. Henry Mandsley, who
has long studied the reeiprUeated ac-
ton between mind and body. He
takes the ground that each disease is
attended by certain psychological as
well as physical effects, and as a con-
sequence that the involuntary action
Of the brain during sleep may furnish
new indications for diagnosis. In a
a dream, the background on which
the phantoms move, is often deter
mined by the state of the internal
organs, the irritation of which awak-
ems into some activity that part of the
brain with which the irritated organ
IS n specific sympathy. According
" sympathetic ideas springIng out Of
the feeling unite in dreams. When
active consciousness is suspended. or
ganic sympathies, which before were
unpereeived, declare themselves to
the mind. This accounts for dreams
In which the dreamer supposes him
self attacked with certain disease
which is soon after developed. His
dream coming trueu is simply an
evidence that the revelation was the
result Of that sympathetic action
which at first only affected the brain
during sleep. This new and ingen-
ious theory will doubtless lead MANY
physicians to make observations in
the same direction, andthus tablish
its truth or hlsity.

The New York Tribune says: An
English preacher, we are told, de
elares, as one having authority, that
there are twelve times as many wO-
men in Heaven as men, and bya puri-
ty Of reasoning, there must be twelve
times as many men as women in the
other place not to be mentioned to ears
polite, How the reverend BritOn got
his information, or why he fixed upon
the proportion of twelve to one, in
stead of twenty to one, we are not
informed, but it adds a new horror to
the lower hot settlements to know
that when pain and anguish wiring
the brow there, the ministering angels
will be scarce, We don't like to joke
on serious subjects, and we promise
not to. when idle coniecturers will
let them alone.

Expensive Litigation.

The folly of rushing into expensive
litigation for trivial causes is well
illustrated in case now pending in
the circuit court OF Ohio county, West
Virginia. A citizen of that county
in 1870 shot goat, worth perhaps ten
dollars, that had annoyed him by re-
peatedly trespassing on his grounds.
The owner of the goat sued for dam
ages, and the case was tried before a
justice of the peace. and given to a
jury of six, who failed TO agree upon
a verdict. A second trial before a
similar tribunal resulted in a verdict
of SS5 Tor the plaintiff. The defen-
dant appealed, to the Circuit Court,
where a jury of twelve failed to de-
eide the matter; after which. another
trial was had, resulting in verdict
of twelve dollars and ten cents for the
plaintiff. But now the defendant
came forward and alleged that prior
to the finding of this verdict he had
rendered to the plaintiff the sum of
fifteen dollars in settlement of the
claim, which, If proved, would have
the effect OF rendering the plaintiff
liable for all the costs that had accrued
in tho course of the suit. The alleged
tender was denied by the plaintiff; so
in March last jury was called upon
to decide the question, and this jury
failed to agree. At the June term the
question of fact in regard to the al
legged tender was given to another
jury, which was also discharged with
out coming to any decision on the
matter; and it now seems as far from
settlement as ever. In the meantime
costs have been accommodating, SI1s,95
being charged against the plaintiff,
and S127.25 against the defendant, to
say nothing Of lawyers fees on each
side. II the litigants were the only
losers in this case, it would not be so
bad but the time of the court has
been occupied 10 the exclusion of
really important business, and large
have been incurred that the
State is obliged to pay.

The New York Times of Monday
publishes a resume of the mass of
figures sent in to the Board of Super
visors by Mayor Hall, purpOrting to
be the county accounts. They afford
clear and unansweTable proof of guilt.
They admit the squandering of sums
which it is impossible should have
been honestly expended, and in a
manner that proves that the plunder
went to the Ring itself, They show
that, on the accounts produced, there
has been taken from the public treas
ury, for 1S69-71, S13, AS, 76S. .39-nearly
thirteen and a half millions. Of this
large sum, Ingersoll & Co., the direct
Representatives of the Ring, drew
nearly five and three-quarters mill
lions, tS5, ,644, 7l6.C J. A. ]. Garvey drew
nearly three millions, (2,S54, ,369,)
Keyser & Co. drew a million and a
quarter, Isl ,231, ,S17.) Large sums
were charged to fictitious names.
Three-quarters of million of dollars
are pretended to have been paid to J.
A. Smith, of whom no one in his
professed business has ever heard be-
fore. For repairs to the unfinished
Court House over sixty-fOur thousand
dollars are set down to T. c. eastman,
who does not exist, and over sixty-six
thousand more TO a Fillipo Donna
ruma, who indorses his warrant
''PhilIip Dummey." Does any one
doubt that these mythical names are
mere ''blinds" to coverthe Ring itself,
mere indices pointing to the actual
thieves? These accounts show minor,
but equally convincing proofs of dis
honesty. We find that over four hun
dred thousand dollars have been
drawn by one manufacturer for safes
for the county buiidings; that sixty
thousand dollars have been paid for
awnings; that seven thousand five
hundred dollars have been stolen un-
der pretense Of furnishing thermome-
ters and that for repairs alone on
county buildings and offices there has
been expended in thirty-One months
three and one-third millions Of dol
lars, or enough, honestly used, to have
built and furnished five new buildings
like the County Court House.

WAITING.



Near silent glen, by a rivers bank,
In sheltered nook, there stands q cot,
a lonely cottage, now dreary and blank,
But yet to me, ever hallowed spot.
One year ago. in the twilight-shads, -.
AT It's garden-gate, stood a maiden fair,
hOoed In a garment OF white: while played
The deeP'ning shadows athwart her hair.
Her eyes dark brown had q 7changeful hue.
80 nlled with beauty and love, they seemed
Deep black erstwhile, then q tinge 81 blue
O'erits varying iris, there Aittlngiy benned.
Need I tell that loved this maid so rare,
VIII me wonderful eyes-this rustic
Expanding so puyely3 breathed prayer,
That the soul OF my love was within her
power.
Thrown In my life, mid the city's din,
Mid hurry, confusion, mid turmoil and
with a sad wild yearning SO strange within,
had thought, ndespair. there was nauglit
Il. n4He' o al l
Then weary Of fashion and glitter and
3D.. paint
ofwomen and reyels. with wine Besot.
With whirling brain and heart stck-faint,
had sought the shade Of the cooling spot
Where met this maid at the garden-gate,
OF this woodland cot, in the twilight pale,
mueIcs leu 70 leE SIQe, Dy q klQuly I&Le,
looked and loyed;-tle old, old tale.
The shadows from out my heart went by,
In desert, an oasis Of green sprang forth;
New beauties OF earth, and air, and sky,
Her love in my doubling soul gave birth
Ger her grave the fearful willows wave,
In lieu OF my heart and arms so warm,
OF kisses and tender words-the grave
Z In cold, damp embraces her form
The sunlight in glory fingers there
LtngerS till driven by shadows or rain.
But II never can reach her sunny hair,
And Il never can reach my heart again.
At the gate, when the twilight fade,
When the vanished maiden, IN spirit. Is
On the little top bar where her hand hath
I viii bow my head In silent prayer, .a.
That as long as Lnger, no matter where'er.
My labors and life be noble and free, r
For know ut a golden gate afar
A maiden is watching-and waiting for
me.
