A FRUTT-eRowER over in Jersey being
much annoyed by depredaton, obtained q
human leg from hospital in Philadelphia
and putting it in a large steel trap in his
grapery, began to make enquiries in dis
turbed and melancholy manner for the
owner of the limb. The neiehbors fiocked
to see it the cunning fruit-grower was be-
rated for his cruelty; reports were circu-
lated that the horrid wretch had filled
his grounds with traps, and his fruit was
no more stolen
A MAN riding from Syracuse to New
York, recently informed the conductor that
he had been made the victim of pick.
pocket But" adds the victim, "here
are my trunk checks. Keep them until
reach New York. The conductor ex-
planned the situation to the Eastern con-
ductor, and the checks were considered
equivalent for fare to the metropolis.
When New York was reached a lady an.
peared and demanded the trunks. Some
body had taken the checks from her pocket.
She nanaed the articles in the trunks. and
the property was surrendered.

Beer, Bricks, and Buildings.

Mr.. Taylor, of Birmingham, the founder
of freehold land societies, says:
persuade man to keep sober. tell
him that with every quart he consumes
twenty five bricks. l show him how, in
the course of two years, at one quart day,
he swallows as many bricks as would make
nice cottage. My old grandfather died
when nearly hundred years old. He
lived in one house nearly eighty years. and
at the time of his death, he had not so
much as brick or achimney-pot although
he had paid rent all his life. Now, had he
belonged to building society, his grand
son might have been better off than he is.
have said that a quart of ale is equal
to twenty five bricks, and paper of to-
bacco is the mortar to lay them with.
There they are, the twenty five bricks and
the mortar going ffffeetfaf- MARY mans
pocket over the public house counter every
day. Such men will never be freeholders.
In Birmingham we have bought freehold
land at the rate of Is Cd. per yard-twO
quarts of ale and paper of tobacco ex-
actlyi
remember some time ago telling the
coal beavers and the limestone quarrymen,
in meeting at Dudley, that every quart of
ale was equal to halfa-yard of freehold
land. One man got up at the far end of
the room and said, What is that you say,
misterr Ireplied, why, my dear fellow,
with every quart of ale you drink you
swallow half.a-yard of land,' We'll, then
said he, ] have swallowed many field in
my time
Upon calculation, we find that the loss
Of money alone to man spending Cd.
day in drink Ia pint of ale for instance)
amounts, at the end of twenty seven
years with compound interest at
five per cent? to the large and hand
some sum of five hundred and nine
pounds, sufficient to buy half million of
bricks, which would build, say twenty-five
houses; or at one shilling and penny per
square yard, it would purchase an estate Of
two acres Of building ground, or land
enough for forty respectable houses and
gardens; or it would purchase three good
houses all complete.
Workingmen! is there not some induce
ment here to leave off drinking? Remem-
Der that in the above calculation there Is
nothing whatever put down for loss OF
time and health this would amount to far
more than the actual cost of the drink.

Success as the Measure of Ability.

IHE world usually accords the merit of
ability to those who achieve success in
any field OF effort, and it is right. Success
Is the evidence of ability-ability to sue
ceed-nothing more. Real mental caliber
Is not evidenced by success, unless that
success Is attained in some occupation or
profession which requires great mental
ability for its conduct.
A man may succeed in wearing a very
small pair of boots, if his understanding ia
suinclently narrow; and men succeed a.
often through deficiencies as through
proflclencics. A man sits daily in front
OF the Tribune Office in this city who
makes living by whiting with his feet.
This man has no arms, and has by long
practice acquired the power to hold piece
OF wood with the toes of one foot, while
he whites with knife held in the toes
Of the other foot 1t is quite doubtful,
judging from the appearance of this in.
dividual, whether, had he been endowed
with arms, he would have achieved either
the notoriety he now enjoys, or have made
half the money he now pockets from the
wonder-loving crowds who gather about
him. Such success as he has attained has
been won through virtue of his defcien-
cies.
We recollect reading some years ago an
account of wonderful dancer whose chief
attraction was that he had but one leg.
With this leg he did what single legs had
been deemed incapable of doing, and
though his dancing fell short Of first
class two-legged performance, yet it was
really wonderful for one leg, and so one
leg drew houses where probably two
would have failed to please the public.
As with physical defects so with mental.
The piano playing blind negro idiot (,)
"Tom," whose performance is certainly
wonderful for blind idiot, would lose a
great portion of its charm if he were once
understood to be in full possession of the
intellect allotted to ordinary mortals He
succeeds in making great impression be-
cause he has, or is supposed to have, two
great defects
1t often is the case, on the other hand,
that men fail because they have minds too
large for their business. These minds will
be, mast be, occupied with higher things
than the trivial details of business and
the petty cares, to neglect which is to in
sure failure in most commonplace voca-
lions.
Success, then, unless measured by the
character Of the field in which it is
achieved, is no measure of mental or
physical power. Is man successful! In /,
what is he successful? Is he successful
dandy like Beau Brummel; successful
kHave like modern railroad grabber well
known in this metropolis; successful
dry goods clerk; or successful lawyer
and statesman, like Clay and Webster; q
successful divine, like Whately; or a sue
cessful teacher, like Arnold?
Success is, it is true, measure of abili-
ty, but of great ability only when it is itself
tested by the higher measure of lofty aims,
wise purposes, and good deeds.-Scienttfs

Vicious Cows.

{ I'M CASE, Wisconsin dairyman, talks
in this wise about the management of
viciously disposed cows:
Injury often results from attacks of the
strong and spitefully disposed cows, that
are found in every herd, on the weak. TO
prevent this, the tips Of the horns should
be sawed off and covered with buttons.
Often it Is best to yard this class by them
selves. II is also necessary, sometimes, to
give protection from the same disposition
on the part of the attendants No beating
should be allowed, or running to and from
the pasture, ,Qr in the yard. Govern by
kindness rather than by force. and it will
react favorably on the disposition of
herd. The disposition and qualities of the
cows are greatly influenced by the care
and treatment they receive, and this fully
explains the fact why those dairymen who
feed most literally also treat their COWS
most gently, and who are most considerate
|of their comfort, have the best and most
profitable diaries. fA'7.1i -

The Rationale OF Toys.

OUR pity has been often excited for
poor children who have no toys; might it
not be also sometimes reasonably called
forth for those children whose toys are too
many and too goody These poor children
suffer because they have no material
whereon to exercise their imaginations !;
the poor little creatures, even at that early
stage Of their existence, enter upon the
stagnation which settles like stultifying
load on so many, in whose monotonous
life no light from the region Of the mag
nation breaks on the daily routine Of toll.
The other children suffer because they
have too many things to distract them, so
that their imaginations find no ground to
rest and build upon. In their cradles they
have foretaste of the distracting whirl
and hurry of the busy world Of which
they are probably destined to know SO
much.
What happy thing for some nurseries
were kind of fairy to come and sweep
off half the contents of the toy drawers,
and at the same time bar all possibility Of
replenishing them. Imagine the result of
such fairy visit to one Of those elaborate
dolls houses, which presented to the little
ones replete with everything imaginable,
is admired, rejoiced over, arranged, and re-
arranged for week-then forgotten. left
in dust and disorder. Once cleared, ire
trieyably, of all but few necessaries of
doll life, we should soon see most fertile
resources of the Imagination, the most I'M
likely things metamorphosed by the young
into suitable dOll-property, and the real
pleasure of the toy for the first time real
lied. ------------
How should child derive the same
amount of happiness from handsome
whip ornamented or carved already, as he
would from whip whose handle he had
himself sought in the hedges, and then
cut, notch, scraped, or otherwise adorned
in imitation of the silver mounted or ivo-
ry-carved whips of his elders. That the
stout stick, representative of his fathers
horse, on which he rides, bears but a dis
tant resemblance to that animal, matters
not--it has far more than the toy-shop
horse, which is Of the wrong color; his
horse is of any color he wills, and he can
canter him over every prairie and desert
of earth or fairyland.-G Good Health.

DEATH OF EZRA f. BEAL, EsQ.-A des-
patch to gentleman in this city, received last
evening, announced the death of Ezra F. Beal,
ESQ.,, at his residence in Norway on Tuesday
afternoon at 8 O'clock, For several months he
has been in ill-health, cloud having gathered
over his mental facilities in his later days. Mr.
Beal was well-known through the western por
ton of the State as an active and energetic
business man, at times having large interests
entrusted to his good judgment and practical
experience. He was, we think, native of
Norway, but was for many years a resident of
Portland. He returned to his country home
some time previous to the year 1S4S, and resid-
ed there up to the time of his death. Mr.. Beal
was on the original board of direction of the At
lantic & st. Lawrence railroad, and it was in
large measure owing to his persevering efforts
that this great enterprise was carried forward
to a successful completion. His ripe judgment
and clean foresight were acknowledged in Ok
ford county, and his personal influence was the
means by which the people of this city were in
duced to enlist so heartily in this magnificent
undertaking. AS director he had especial
charge of the construction of the principal de-
pols along the lne including the original wood
en- passenger depot in this city, and the present
splendid brick and granite structure andof most
of which he was the architect He was also
the builder of the Alpine House at Gorham, N.
H., and superintendent of the Falmouth Hotel,
Browns Sugar House and Lancaster Hall, in
Portland. Besides these works he beautified
the town of Norway with number of elegant
buildings.
In politics Mr.. Beal was an active Wing, so
long as that party existed, and on its dissolu-
ton he became firm adherent to the princi-
pies of the Republican party. Mr.. Beal was a
lifelong Universalist, and firm supporter of
that faith. He was conspicuous in his devo-
ton and his liberality to that denomination, and
in his death he will be widely mourned He
leaves wife and two children, of whom Gen.
George L. Beal is the eldest. The funeral will
take place at Norway on Thursday afternoon at
| q o'clock
