A Mechanic.

A Young man commenced visiting a
Young lady, and seemed to be well
o eased. One evening he had called
when il was quite late, which led the
young lady to inquire where he nae
been.
"I had to work to night.
"What! do you work for living ~
she inquired in astOnishDent.
"Certainly, replied the young man,
I" am q mechanic. -,
"I dislike the name of mechanic,
and she turned up her pretty nose.
This was the last time that young
man visited that young lady. he
is now a wealthy man. and has one
of the incest women in the country for
a wife. The lady who disliked the
name of a mechanic Is now the wife OF
a mi-erabie fOol-a regular vagrant
about grog -shope, and the soft, yerdauf
miserable girl is obliged to take ia
washing to SUPPORT herself and chill
drep.
You dislike the name of q mechanic
eh-you whose brothers are but we'll
dressed loafers. We pity any girl who
is so verdaDt. 80 soft rs to think less OF
a man for being q mechanic-one OF
Gods noblemen, . most distinguished
and honored parsonage OF Heavens
creatures.
Beware, young ladies, how you treat
young men who work for living,
for you may one day be q menial to
one of them youself. Far better TO dis.
charge the welD-fed pauper, with ali
his rings, jewelry, brazenness and POM
posity, and to take your affections 70
the callous hand, industrious mechanic;
Thousands have bitterly repenteo
their folly who have turned their backs
ON honesty. A few years have tsugn'
] them q severe lesson.

Turnips.

Every farmer will find is profitable
to raise quantity of these roots, the
labor not being 80 great rs to stop him
from doing so. If judiciously man
aged, the amount of labor: Is trihing.
They form q most excellent article for
feeding to cattle, and even horses soon
become very fond Of thom, and thrive
as well upon them as upon carrots,
while the cost of raising is far less.
They form q most excellent and i'm
portant article of stock feed, especially
for an occasional change. Ruta-bagas
and English turnips are best fed out In
the eaely part of winter.
Sow on new ground, In drills3twenty
inches apart, covering the seed one
half inch deep. About q pound OF
seed to the acre Is usually allowed.
Seed will generally keep good about
four years.
Skirving's Liverpool Swede is one
of the best of the rutabaga tribe, ana
the purple top the best kind OF round
turnips.
Ifa quantity of lime Is sowed over
the field Immediately after sowing tne
seed, it will preserve the crop iron
insects and prevent the turnips oeco9-

AdulteTatiOn OF Food.

To such an extent is the adulteration
of food carried on in Great Britain that
Parliament has recently been COM
PEELED to make stringent amendments
to the act for the prevention of adul-
teration, one of the amendments pro-
yiding for the publication of the Offend
ers name and place of business in ad-
dition to fine and imprisonment. The
extent to which adulteration is prac-
ticed in the tight little island is per-
fectly frightful. Bread is increased in
bulk and weight by the addition OF
alum, potatoes. and plaster of Paris.
Milk is compounded of gum, starch,
chalk, animal brains, and water. But
ter is expanded by the addition of lard
and other animal fats. Dublin whisky
is composed almost entirely of naph-
tha spirit, with the addition of some
flayoring extract. Even the poor
mans beer is adulterated with coculus
indicus, salt, copperas, opium, Indian
hemp, logwood, salts OF lead, alum,
etc. Sugar is sanded, and mixed with
white earth. Willow leaves and a
peculjar-colored earth are mixed with
tea. In the United States, where food
is much plentier and cheaper than in
England, there is probably less adul,
teratIon but still there is enough oi
it. The universal grievance with US,
however, is short weights. If any
householder in Pittsburgh-and our
tradesmen are as honest as those OF
any other city, and much honester
than those of ChicagO-will buy pail
of scales and take the trouble to weigh
each parcel as it is delivered, he will
he astopished to find the extent tC
which petty thieving is carried on by
some grocers and butchers. A detec
tive association for the exposure of al
dishonest tradesmen would be a good
thing.

The Building of Character.

There is not a thought that is not stri-
king blow; there is not an impulse
that is not doing mason work; there is
not a passion thrust this way or that,
that is not workman's thrust. The
imagination in all directionsis building.
You think that you are throwing out
the net for game; you think that you
are laying plans for your accomplish
ment; but behind all the conscious work
that is going on in you, behind your
visible attainments, there is another
work going on. There are as many
master-workmen in you as there are
separate faculties; and there are as
many blows being struck as there are
separate acts of emotion or volition.
And this work is going On perpetually.
Every single day these myriad forces
are building, building. building. Here
is great structure going up, point by
point, story by story, although you are
not conscious of il. 1t is a building OF
character. 1t is building that must
stand, and the word of inspiration
warns you to take heed how you build
it, to see to it that you have founda-
tion that shall endure; to make sure
that you are building on it, not for the
hour in which you live, but for that
hour of revelation, when you shall be
seen Just rs you are.

An Alarming Fact.

An ever-increasing craving for sumu-
Iants is among the crying evils of the
times. In addition to the large guam
tity of liquor consumed yearly i'll the
United States, Opium-eating Is hecOm-
ing popular with large class of
people, so much that, if the practice
be not checked, we shall have more
than one "John Jasper" i'm our midst.
In Kentucky, the opium evil must
have assumed alarming proportions,
Tor the legislature of that State has just
passed a bill providing that, on the
any person who, through the excessive
use of opium, arsenic, hasheesh, or any
other drug, has become incompetent to
manage his estate, may be confined in
any asylum and placed under any
guardianship, as in the case of habitu-
al drunksrds or lunatics. The act says
nothing about snuffdipping, tobacco
chewing, or smoking. And while on
the subject of narcotics, it may be well
to add that the medical journals of the
country complain of the alarming in
crease in the consumption of hydrate
of chloral. Indeed, one periodical al
leges that it is being used in the most
reckless manner. 1t is said that even
in Europe it is superceding absinthe,
opium, and alcoholic stimulants, while
its manufacture has increased enor-
mously. Liebin says that single es.
tablishment in Germany produces half
a ton week, while in England, ac-
cordirg to a London paper, taking
chloral is the new and popular vice,
particularly among women, and is
doing at least as much harm as alcO-
hol. The drug is said to be kept in
thousands of English dressing cases,
and those who begin to use it often
grow so addicted to it that they pass
their lives in a sort of contented stupe-
factiOn

Is He Richs

Many sigh is heaved, many a
heart is broken, many life is render
ed miserable by the terrible infatuation
which parents manifest i'm choosing q
life companion for their daughters.
How is it possible for happiness to re-
suit from the union of two principles
SO diametrically opposed to each other
In every point as virtue is to vice p
and yet how often is wealth considered
a better recommendation for young
men than virtue? How often the first
question asked respecting the suitor of
a daughter is this: 'Is he rich?n Yes,
he abounds in wealth; hut does that
afford any evidence that he will make
kind and affect onate husband? as
he rich?n Yes, his clothing is purple
and fine linen, and he fares sumptuous-
ly every day; but can you infer from
this that he is virtuous? us he rich ?r
Yes, he has thousands floating on
every ocean; but do not riches some
times take to themselves wings and
fly away"" And you consent that
your daughter shall marry a man who
has nothing to commend him but his
wealth? All! beware, the gilded bait
sometimes covers a barbed hook: ask
not, then, SIS he rich" but ais he
virtuous ?" Ask not if he has wealth,
but has he honor? And do not sacri,
flee your daughters peace for money

The Corn Crop or the West.
The Western R,yruI;sf says.


"The first general frost thrnughnut
the Northwest, on 9th ult., SO far as
advices are received, found the corn
crop either safely in shock, or out of the
way of damage from matured growth
The frost will assist in driving it out,
ready for huskirg, and the probabilities
now are that the present corr crop of
of the West Will be the greatest ever
gathered. Indeed it has been estimat-
ed to aggregate ], COO, ,0O0 bushels which
il added to the surplus left over from
the proceeding two immense crops,
Will mske an amount of corn probably
greater than We shall see for many
years to come.
The probable consequence of such n
vast store of grain. with the low prices
that will naturally follow, is that much
Of 1t will be wasted; but, IL securely
cribbed and carefully saved, it may be-
come mine of wealth to those farmers
whose means Will allow them to save
it.
There is no crop so easily saved as
corn, no crop 80 little Liable to loss at
the hands Of the farmer, and sooner or
later it must be worth renumerative
prices. Our advice TO the farmer il,
carefully save snd crib whatever
surplus you may have. The time will
come, when 1t will pay the labor SO
given il.

Be Cheerful.

Look happy, if you do not feel SO.
Present q cheerful exterior, though
your heart and mind be troubled.
Never wear face which, as Sidney
Smith says, "is a breach of the peace. y
DIR. johnson used to observe that the
habit of looking at the best of thing
was worth more to man than thous-
and pounds a year. and Samuel Smiles
observes I'VE possess the power, to
a great extent, of so exercising the will
as to direct the thoughts upon objects
calculated to yield happiness and i'm
provement, rather than their opposi;es.
In this way, the habit of happy thought
may be made TO spring up like any
other habit. And to bring up men or
iwomen with genuine nature of tI,is
sort, good temper and happy frame
of mind is, perhaps, of even more i'm
Portance, In many cases, than to perfect
them in much knowledge and many ac-
complishments.'

MABEL ST. CLA1B.
II far away from friends you be, tas4
And sorrows cloud the aching breast
And strangers are unkind to thee.
Think not for thee there is no rest;
For there Is one who sees thy grief,
And offers thee his changeless love.
Then 90 to him and seek relief.
And put your trust In one above. ,
When by misfortune's blow you tall. 3
And think you are too weak to rise,
Just pause, and listen to the call
That wins thee upward to the skies
Oh do not faltsr on the brink tr
Ofdarkness, still In sin to rove: r.
From such a duty do not shrink.
Friends will desert tf1ee-aII who claim
The earthly title of a friend;
But one who bears that heavenly name
Will stand by thee unto the end
Then turn to him while yet tits day.,
And all his boundless merc.es prove.
Forsake each vile and sinful way,
And put your trust in one above.

Live for something be not idle.
Look about thee for employ.
Sit not down 10 useless dreaming;
Labor is sthesweetestjoy.
Folded hands are ever weary.
Selfish heerts are never gay.
Life for thee has many duties:
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathways
Gentle words ard cheering smiles
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine fa.leth
Ever on the gateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness

Hearts there are oppressed and weary !:

SAD CASE OF SMALL Pox-Davd Smith, with
his family, removed from Camden to the eastern
part OF this city last winter. Being carpenter,
he found permanent employment in the Jackson
u Sharp Company's Car Shops. About three
weeks ago he was stricken down with small pox,
and died in few days. The wife then
caught the disease and soon followed the hus-
band to the grave. The oldest OF the children, a
young lady, IL now down with the disease and
not expected to recover. Three members of
the family are yet clear OF the disease one a
child about twelve years Of age onother four,
and quite an aged grandmother on the fathers
