KEEPING TO ONE TnING.-We ear
ncstly entreat every young man af.
ter he has chosen one vocation, to
stick TO. it. Don't, leave it because
hard blows arc to be struck, or disa-
greeable work performed. Those
who have worked their way mp to
wealth and usefulness, do not belong
to the shitloss and unstable class, but
be rcckoned among such as took off
their coats, rolled up their sleeves.
conquered their prcjudiccs against
labor, and manfully bore the heat and
burden of tho day. Whether upon
the old Arni, where our fathers toilcd
diligently, striving to bring the soil to
prodnctivcness; in the machine shop
or factory, or the thousand other br,
siness places that create honest toll
md skill, let the motto eyer be: "Pcr-
severance and Industry"

o., A. Nice Girl

Though that. class Of girls is BY
no means extinct, still they are. not
so numerous as might be- wished.
There is nothing half so sweet, in
life, lialf so delightful, orf-so lovea-
bic as a MED girl. Not pretty, or
dasling gill; out a nice girl.
One Of those lovely, likely, good
hearted, sweet faced, amiable, neat,

A nice girl is not the Ian gnishing
beauty, drawing on the sofa, and
discussing the last. novel, aors opera,
or the giraifeing like .creatnre1
sweeping majestically y through the
drawing room. The nice! Girl may
not even play or dance wc9, ;tIfl
knows nothing about using her
eyes or coructt;,ig with a tan:: Size
never langhisheS, she is too active.
She is.not given to sensitive novel;,
she is too busy. IL the. opera she
is not in front to show her. should
.ers; she sits quiet and npoDtrnsive
at the back of the sl'ox, most likely.
In fact it's not often we discover
her. Home is her placc:'l 2'''o'.'':
Who rises bctimcs and superin-
tends the morning meal?. Who
makes the toast and the" ten, and
buttons the boy. shirts, and waters
the flowers, and feeds the chickens,
and briglltens np tbe parlor. and
sitting-room? Is it the Iaugnishcr,
or. tic. giraffe, or tie ,"clegmte,?t.'.

Breakfast over, down to tho
kitchen to see about dinner, and
all day she is up and down, always
cheerful and hght-heartel. She
never ceases tobe active. and use
ful until the day is gone, when she
will Polka with the boys, or read
or sing old songs and play old
tunes to her fatherand. mother for
hours together. She is perfect
treasure, is anicc,girt:~ When sick
ness comes it'is she who attends
with unwearJing patience in the

no fatigue that she VIII not, under

One of the most strongly mark
ed characteristics of a ''nice girl is
tidiness and simplicity Of dress.
She is invariably associated In my
mind witha high frqcl>, plain col

bound with the most modest little

10000, 900 Paper Collars.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin saws
the paper collar business grows in i'm
portance yearly. The production in
Boston in 1860 was 60, 600, 600 collars :;
in 1870 it was rs, 600, 600; and the rate
for 1871 is $50, 900, 600. The profits do
not participate in this increase. On
the contrary, the competition is SO
close that it is only in improved ma
chinery and prudent close working of
stock that a per centage is secured.
One OF the largest manufacturing deal
ers asserts that if he could save one
eighth of an inch to each collar, on his
waste OF paper, beyond the savings of
any other maker, he should consider
that one-eighth of an inch a sufficient
profit in his business.
When paper collars were first intro
duced they were in boxes of one hum
dred at IS. Subsequently, to secure
the public interest and q general trial,
they were tied In punches of ten, and
sometimes afterwards "put up in round
boxes for the accommodation of tray-
elers-" 1t was at this time that the
novel advertisements made their ap-
pearance, reading, "It costs rs cents a
dozen to wash linen collars, which, at
seven collars week, is 43 cents, or 500
year; 365 paper collars are sold for
$5." The recent perfection of linen
finished collars has increased the sale
of fine goods very heavily. Hence the
incentive to dress nice stocks in hand
some boxes is legitimate, while, at the
same time, it affords to the manufac-
turer better margin for profit. The
price for collars now ranges from s. to
$35 per 1000. The amount. Of capital
invested by eleven New England man.
ufacturers is about $3, 600, 900, varying
in individual cases from $40, 900 to
$500, ,O0o.

Aristocrats Going to Work.

A Warsaw correspondent of the Rus
sian st. Petersburg Gazette, says that
great change has come over the char
acter of the Poles of late: "The old
prejudices which prevented a nobleman
from engaging in industrial or COM
mercial pursuits have almost entirely
disappeared. 1 have myself seen the
descendants of old aristocratic families
working early and late In factories and
offices, and know an old nobleman
who has made his son apprentice to a
baker, and is now about to help him to
set up for himself, without the least
anxiety as to what his ancestors would
have thought on the subject. The care
for ones daily bread has completely
humbled the old aristocratic pride and
driven it from the minds and hearts of
the Polish nobility. I know a very
clever and wealthy landowner of
Lithuania, who collected the remains
of his property and founded here in
Warsaw a commercial house under his
own name, which furnishes him and his
family with the means of living very
respectfully. Everywhere, and in al,
classes of society, is to be seen a pow
erful desire for work and action of u
nature to improve the country"
