Mr.. Bcecher was in an unusually talk

4 Curious MEMoRIAl.-N Nr. ". d.
Bancker brought from Chicago a curious
memorial of the great fire. Among the
ruins OF he Western News Companys
establishment where an immense stock Of
periodicals and books were reduced 10
ashes, there was found a single leaf Of a
quarto Bible, charred around the edges.
1t contained the first chapter Of the
Lamentations of jeremiah, which opens
with the following words: "How doth
the city sit solitary that was full OF peo-
Pile how is she become rs widow she
that was great among the nations and
princess among the provinces, how is she
become tributary! She weepeth sore in
the night, and her tears are on her
cheeks; among all her lovers she hath
none TO comfort her." And that was the
only fragment of literature saved from
the News Company's great depot.

An instance OF quick work, by which
very profitable wages were earned, has
come to our knowledge, which we think
worthy of public mention, the names OF
the parties being withheld by request

gentleman was in the mandatory where
she WAS employed, and observing her ce
lelity OF movement, raised question as
to how many she could prepare in one
day One OF those having the manage
ment of affairs, expressed the opinion
that she could do twenty eases in ten
hours. The gentleman first mentioned
could not credit this, and offered to stake
81 900 against $500 that the feat could
not be accomplished. The wager was ac-
cepted, the young lady made acquainted
with the fact and asked if she could do it.
She replied that she was willing to try.
provided she could have share OF the
money she should win This was agreed
to and the task commenced. At y o'clock
the mex, day she had eleven of The TWEEN
ly cases finished and packed ready ior
the aster, and ut ten minutes inside the
ten hours the task was completed. The
incredulous gentleman paid the wager OF
one thousand dollars, and the winner
handed The young lady five hundred oi it.
This, together with the sum earned by
doing the work, made pretty fair wages
for one day, and ony one can see by lit
tie calculation, that she had to keep pret
ty busy. There were in each case sixty
pairs, four pieces to n pair, making
two hundred and forty pieces to be
handled, and as many nailsto be driy-
Ell. In the twenty cases there would
be forty eight hundred pieces to take
care of in ten hours. which was done ;
thus averaging four hundred and eigh-
ty pieces an hour. or eight in one
minute. This is an actual fact, and the
smart girl is at present doing snug lit

G.. w. Curtis says, with much OF truth,
The counsel OF the world to the young
man is, MY son believe that everybody
is selfish and wishes 10 get the better Of
you" Now man could rs reasonably
live upon a diet OF chokc-cberries and
expect to be well as live in such a faith
and expectto be morally fresh and sound.
Men are very much what YOU make them
that is to say what you expect them
to bc. Ilyou expect man to be mean,
he will probably seem to YOU to be so.
For, however generous he may really be,
through your mask OF mean expectation
you cannot discover it. Believe me, there
is something very much worse than be.
ing cheated, and that is the feeling that
everybody wants to cheat YOU. And, IL
you observe closely, you will find that
the happiest people of your acquaintance
are not those who always make the sharp.
est bargains. and who always expect TO
be taken in il they are not on the alert,
but those who deal unsuspiciously, and
who care more tor their own selt.respect,
than for the kind Of respectability riches
buy"
