The Accurate Roy.

There was a young man once in the
Office of a Western railway superintend-
ent. He was occupying a position that
four hundred boys in that city would
have wished to get. 1t was honorable,
and sit paid well" besides being in the
line of promotion. How did he get it
Not by having a rich father, for he was
the son of a laborer. The secret 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 awhile
he learned to telegraph. At each step
his employer commended his accuracy,
and relied on what he did because he
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 lookout, as though they
we're rogues or fools. If carpenter
must stand at his journeyman's elbow to
be sure that his work is right, or if
cashier must run oyeiehis book keepers
column, he might as well do the work
himself as employ another to do it ia
that way; and it is very certain that the
employer will get rid of such an inaccu-
rate workman as soon as he can.

Keen Ont OfDebt.

Half the perplexity, annoyance and
trouble that men have in this world Is IN
consequence of getting into debt. 1t
seems to be natural for some people to
buy and incur obligations without meas
ure, SO long as they can avoid paying
ready cash. Give one of this sort a
chance to buy on credit, and the ques-
tons of price and conditions Of payment
are matters that he cares but little about.
But what a crop of trouble springs up
from the seed of debt. How many
sleepless nights result from IT. How many
gray hairs it brings, and how often 1t
shortens life-sometimes leading men to
commit suicide or murder Yet, how
easy thing it is to keep clear of this
terrible monster. Every young man
should form fixed an unalterable deter
before commencing his active
business career, not to incur one penny
of Indebtedness under any circumstances
Never borrow; never buy anything un-
less you have the money to pay for 1t
at once; pay 70 attention to splendid
bargains" "rare chan
ces. " and the like. Such affairs are only
the traps which debt sets to catch victims.
If you see anything you would like to
buy, or if any offer is made that you
would like to accept, look, first at your
money pile, and the answer depend up
on that Always pay as you go. Ii
YOU are short of money, you guagc your
demands accordingly. Foster habits of
economy, live within your means, buy
,o,b;,o that Won cannot properly afford
and you will 90 on through life free from
the miseries and troubles that ever beset
the path of the debtor.

True Labor Reform.

Instead of wasting their time and mon
ey, aud exciting i'll feeling and indigna-
ton against capitalists and employers,
the workingmen of Oldham, England, a
manufacturing borough Of 10000 inhab-
itauts, have formed co operative societies,
numbering 1000 members. They have
S1.500,O 600 invested in cotton mills and
looms, and in one of the mills nine tenths
OF the shareholders are workingmen.
They have 100000 capital in their six
cooperative stores. They have built 10
workingmen' houses the last year, and
have large halls and five libraries and
consultation rooms, where they meet for
weekly discussions. How much more
sensible and practical than the wild and
dangerous theories of the Commune and
the Internationale

"OId,. KentncI,v-

from the Lexington Observer and Reporter.
At one period of the history of this
State it seemed to be the universal de
sire that Kentucky should in no partic
uIar tail to recognize in a practical way
the moral and material triumphs which
characterized the civilization Of the age.
Not only did she project vast system
OF internal improvements, aud arrange
for the full development of her natural
resources, but, anticipating the action
OF older and wealthier States, she pat in
practical operation the most comprehen
slve schemes of education, philanthro-
phy, and finance, and did so in the face
oi difficulties which nothing but zeal
Gus and enlightened spirit of progress
could surmount. Every citizen seemed
to feel that the cause of progress was
MS own, and the great institutions were
founded III that moving era of our his
tory were the practical fruits Of the
spirit which was then abroad. Our
asyiums, our banking system, and our
schools gave a moral dignity and infiu-
enee to the State that was felt through
out the Mississippi Valley.
Why is it that Kentucky has failed to
keep the promise Of her youth? WHY
Is she so neglectful Of the obligations
which are imposed by the spirit of the
age! Why so Indifferent to the oppor-
tunities which other States are swift to
seize ? Why so careless of interests
which are essential to the material pros-
perity of the Commonwealth ?-to the |
extension OF its social influence aud the |
of its political power? Are
our people deficient in that public spirit
and pride Of State which Inspired the |
generations that have gone? Are our
public men dwarfed in their proportions

'ge In word, is Kentucky destined
% retrograde, or, grasping the opportu-
llues Of the moment, to advance iu that
'areer which seemed so full of promise

Murder In New YORK.

The New York press is engaged just
now in discussing the chances of Stokes
convistion, and to get all possible light
on the interesting subject, some Of the
Journals are producing the statistics Of
criUs in the metropolis, with the measure
of Justice which has been meted out to
the criminals. Under the head of "mur
ders for 1871" we fud the following
specifications Homicides ~; infant
cides 5; criminal abortion , infants
found dead 126 To these are added
deaths by riot D by the Westfeld dis
aster 81 drowning from causes unknown
81 suicides 108 From 1886 to 1871
there were 746 homieides-j7f by per
sons known. and 172 by unknown par
ties. Only one person was hung in 1871,
and in that case the murder had been
committed in a previous year. Out of
the II homicides in 1871, but five OF the
murderers were tried and punished, and
their sentences varied from two ten years
Imprisonment. In nineteen cases no ar
rests we're made, twelve criminal have
been discharged on bail, and FIVE are in
prison awaiting trial on decision Of ap-
peal
In view of these facts the citizens of
New York are justified in feeling that
the law affords them very small protec
ton that murder is game which can
be played with comparative impunity,
aud that there is exceedingly y slight prob
ability of the gentlemanly assassin Of
Fisk ever stretching hemp.

wife WHO CirCuInVented The
Globe la Search Og gEer
Husband.
From The New York Sun


Mary Anne Wentworth was the re-
spectable daughter of New England
parents, whose ancestors came over in
the Mayfower, and whose grandsires had
fought on the side of freedom in the
Revolutionary War. At eighteen Mary
Anne was the belle of her native village.
and had 4 host of suitors. She married
John Thompson, a young English sailor.
aud soon after their marriage he sailed
tor London, and three years afterward
wrote to his wife that he was about to
sail for China. This letter changed all
the young wile's plans She determined
to leave her child with her parents and
take passage for Europe in the next
steamer. But before she arrived IN
London her husbands vessel had sailed
and having ascertained that the desti-
nation Of the vessel was Hong Kong.
she persisted in following in the first
ship going thither.
A month expired ere the young wife
could find such a ship, aud on her arrival
at Hong Kong she learned that the clip
persln whIehzLeE-I -I<Rsnt husband served
to Sidney proved as unfortunate as her
trips to London and Hong Kong, for
there she learned that her husbands
vessel had just sailed for New York with
a cargo of wool. Luckily an American
ship was up for New York in few days,
and the Captain, light hearted Yankee,
hearing her story, and admiring her
courage and devotion, gave her free
passage back to her native land.
She arrived in New York about two
weeks ago, penniless and destitute. This,
however, is not the worst, for the man in
pursuit of whom she had cireumnavi
gated the glope, she found here living
witt a worthless woman, and was con
strained to summon him to one of our
civil courts ere she could compel him to
recognize her rights as a wife and provide
for her support. This he did in Justice
Hartman's court yesterday.

A FRONTIER mORROR.
A Man Leaves 10 60 I'm Search OF
DFink-EEfS Lonely wife
and Little Ones Frozen
IN

From the La Crosse, (Wis.) Republican.
n few years ago a man was living with
his young wife in Mankato, Mimi. Ho
was intelligent and successful in business,
until the passion for drink enslaved him,
and his business and reputation were
both wrecked by lis satanic influence.
He was forced to seek new home for
his little family, and his wife, bred to
luxury, accompanied him to the frontier,
in the hope that the removal from tempt
alton would free him from the grip Of
the habit which cursed him. Here they
lived for several years, his abstinence
from drink being broken only by an in
frequent and occasional debauch When
he visited some of the nearest towns.
Early in December he told his wife that
business compelled him to 20 to -,
aud that he would be absent several days.
She, aboukfo be confined, with several
helpless children and a scanty supply Of

severe storms of ecember-doubly
severe on the unsheltered prairie-came
on. Before its close she was entirely
destitute of wood, and the terrible al
Tentative was presented to her Of pas
sively freezing to death with her little
ones, or seeking assistance frcm the
nearest neighbor, over three miles dis
tant. She courageously chose the lat

started out to seek relief. The next day

The value of vaccination as prevent
i've of smallpox, though questioned by
many, seems attested by statistics. When
small pox was raging as an epidemic ia
London in 1868, observations we're made
by the physicians upon 10000 children
belonging to national and parochial
schools. workhouses, etc. Some Of the
children had never been vaccinated; the
great majority had, iu various ways and
degrees. OF every 1000 children with
out any marks Of vaccination, $50 had
small pox. While Of every l,OOU chill
dren who had evidence of vacciuaiion
only 17S had any trace of the disease.

rapidity, and the things thought Of in
their muItitudinous numbers and extreme
