HOW TO GET THE BEST PLACE.

saw young man in the Office Of q
Western railway superintendent. He
was occupying a position that four
hundred boys in that city would have
wished TO get. 1t was honorable and
''it paid well, y besides being in the
line Of promotion. How did he get
it? Not by having rich father, for
he was the son of laborer. The Sc
cret was, his beautiful accuracy. He
began as an errand boy, and did his
work accurately. His leisure time he
used in perfecting his writing and
arithmetic. After a while he learned
to telegraph. At each step his en-
ployer commended his accuracy, and
relied on what he did because he was
sure it was just right. And it is thus
with every occupation. The accurate
boy is the favored one. Those who
employ men do not wish to be on the
constant look. out, as though they
were rogues or fools. If q carpenter
must stand at his journeymAn's elbow
to be sure bis work is right, or ii q
cashier must run over his bOOkeeper's
columns, he might as well do the
work himself as employ another to do
it in that way; and 1t is very certain
that the employer will get rid Of such
an inaccurate workman as soon as
possible.
I knew such q young man. He had
a good chance to 40 well, but he was
so inaccurate and unreliable that
he wrote a deed, or q mortgage, or s
contract, he was sure either to leave
out something or put in something to
make 1t an imperfect paper. He was
a lawyer without business, because he
lacked the noble quality of accuracy.
Just across the street from him was
another young lawyer, who was pro-
verbal for accuracy. He was famous
for searching titles. and when he
wrote out the history of a title to
piece of property, Il was taken for
granted as Just so. His aim was abso-
lutte accuracy in everything. If he
copied a conveyance, or cited a legal
authority, or made 8 statement, he
aimed to do it exactly. The conse-
quence is, he is having a valuable
practice at the bar, and is universally
esteemed.
But" says some boy, "when 1 be-
come a man, that is the way shall
do. Imean to be very accurate. F"
Perhaps so. 1 could tell better If l
knew Just how you do your work now.
There are several ways of getting a
lesson. One is, to get it ''tolerably
well, !" which does not cost much Ia
Dor; the other way is, 10 get it fault
lessly well, which costs great deal Of
labor. A boy can get a general idea
of his lesson ''in a jiffy," but to get it
with accuracy Is very hard, and re-
quires both time and industry. If
you, my boy, to-day sre getting your
lesson in the slipshod way, you will
grow up a slipshod man; but if to-
day your habit is to get every lesson
with perfect accuracy, l will warrant
you will do that way when you be-
come a man. How is it, -Pres't
7ttttLe, in the Little Chief.

A Foreigner, writing about the
United States, calls this country "the
land of school houses" No higher
compliment could he express, nor one
more deserved, for not here, as in the
Old World, is intelligence confined
to the favored few; it peeps forth from
every nook and corner, from beside
the forge, by the carpenters bench,
from the farmers fireside-indeed, it
is as free and common as the air we
breathe. The humblest school-boy is
melted to diligence and study, be-
cause he sees so many bright exam
pies of what industry has done for the
poor student. All are filed with
emulation, because all may become In
tellectually great.

The arrangements which are being
perfected for the speedy laying of one
or more additional cables between the
United States and the countries Of
Europe, bave had the natural effect
of causing the present companies to
Introduce a radical revision of their
entire tariff rates. The reductions
which have been made are of quite an
important character. On and after
the first Of May the ten word mini
mum, as applied 10 cable messages be-
tween this country and Great Britain
will be abolished, and single word
tariff substituted by which a message
which under the present rates costs
eight or ten dollars, will under the
new rule cost only two or three. The
reduction will be of special advantage
to that large and constantly increasing
class of customers whose message can
be embrsced in two or three words as
well as ten. Cable messages can he
sent from any point in Pennsylvania
after thst date, at the rate of 8 dollar
and five cents per word. It is not
improbable that when the new cables
are laid there will be yet further re-
dnetions.

During the recent furry over the
Alabama claims we have really been
disappointed, for there has been alto
gether less threat and bluster on our
part than was to be expected. Are
we really getting sensible and leaving
our childish spite behind?
1t has long seemed to us a wicked
thing that American children should
be taught TO hate so unreasonably the
common motherland of US all.
England did grind hard in 'T6, but
are we blind to the fact that our
fathers had hot blood? It is well to
feel the heroic death of Nathan Hale,
but may not British children mourn
as deeply q Major Andre? ? 1t was a
bIoodthirsty act 10 hang Col. Hayne,
but was it not quite as devilish for
Partisan Rangers tn murder British
again and again?
We have made our history too much
a lie, and then have thrown ourselves
into a patriotic fury that i'll becomes
u.s. A party of English Tories abused
US during the Great Rebellion; shall
we crafty them by pushing English
Liberals beyond reason, and then call
for the bloody sword?
1t is hard to get over the Revolu-
ton, for it surely was bitter thing,
but we ought to know thatge got on as
well as we did only because tine better
part of Ehgland's heart was with us
all the while. Why cannot we be as
much Influenced by the sad words of
an Englishman like Goldwin Smith,
as we are by the bombast of our
Fourth of July orations? From the
last page of lecture on the "FOunda-
ton of the American colonies" I
read:
at was not the loss of the colonies,
but the quarrel, that was one of the
greatest, perhaps the greatest disaster
that ever befell the English race.
Who would not give up Blenheim
and Waterloo if only the two Eng
aDds could have parted from each
lther in kindness and in peace If
our statesmen could have had the
wisdom to say to the Americans
generously and at the night season,
You are Englishmen like ourselves; /;
be, for your own happiness and our
honor, like ourselves, nation

wounds. In signing away his own
empire over America, George III.
did not sign away the empire Of
English liberty, of English law, Of
English literature, of English religion,
of English blood, or of the English
tongue. But though the wound will
heaI-and that it may heal ought to
be the earnest desire of the whole
English name-history can never can
eel the fatal psge which robs England
of half the glory and half the happi-
ness of being the mother of great
nation.n
Let US get little more of the spirit
of a man who prayed on a cross
eighteen centuries ago, and hate this
thing called hate. CLEMENT.

DESERVING in the South Seas.

The ddreHturer whale ship Of Sydney. recently
arrived at Auckland from a cruise among the
south Sea Islands. IN the course OF which her Chief
officer. Mr. TurnbuIl. was murdered at one OF the
New Hebrides Islands. The following is a brief
sketch Of the experiences Of some OF her crew who
deserted at one Of the island paradises-
While the AdUsHtiuer was lying at one OF the
South Sea Islands, which scented 10 promise every
luxury IN which a runaway sailor could indulge.

them 4 number of hatchets. ship knives. &c. %

chief and several natives. for tLe purpose OF trad

the chief and put him in irons, aud sent the other
natives back. with instructions 10 bring OF the i've
deserters that night. or the ship would sail away
with the chief. The savages made all the haste
they could. and although it was then nearly dusk,
they returned shortly after dark. with the five de-
serters. and every article they bad taken ashore
with them. The chief was then allowed to 90 at
large. The deserters presented a most wretched
appearance. They were stripped OF their clothing,
their bodies were covered with sores from head to
foot. and they were nearly starved TO death. They
stated that Immediately on the vessels departure
they had received the most scurvy treatment from
the natives. who looked upon them with jealous
eyes. and were several times going TO murder
them. They described the mode of living. DC, OF
the savages. which was OF the most barbarous de-

the most common occurrence. One night. while
the deserters were lying in a hut with a number OF
natives. not daring to call their lives their own, an
alteration took place between Il savage and his
wife. The savage. without the slightest Provoca-
ton. raised his tomahawk, and Drained the woman
on the instant. Immediately afterwards throwing
the body outside like so much caIrion. Such
scenes as these were by no means unusual. and the
white men, on returning to the ship, implored the
captains pardon. and most heartily promised not
shin as they had never worked before. 1t was
some time before they recovered their health and
strength, and for months afterwards they used to
utter cries of agony in their sleep as though they
were still among the savages. We need scarcely
say that they never afterwards attempted TO desert
to one of these South Sea paradises.
