In his speech at the Golden Club, in
England, the other day, Mr.. Wells said
that If the production of the country
was divided among the people, the ay-
erage per head would not exceed $175.
The Stockhotder infers, from the vari-
Gus figures it gives, that taking into
consideration the cost of living, capital
employed, cost of superintendent, and
all other elements, agricultural labor is
more productive than any other in the
IS country. 1t also regards labor as more
II profitable IN this country than in any
other part of the world. oIka

How Thcy Catch MUSTANGS.

That all the popular notions in
which the lasso and fleet footed
charger play an Important part

in reality:

A Touching Incident.

\ touching story comes to us from
Poug ghkeepsie, aud we imagine that few
Of our readers will persue the incident
without feeling. According to the Eagle,
lady was last week walking alone the
street when she met little girl between
two and three years old evidently lost,
and crying bitterly. Taking her by the
hand the lady asked her where she was
going. ''lT going down town to iud
my papa" was the reply, between the
sobs. of the child. "What is your papa 5
name ?" asked the lady. His name is
papa" replied the innocent little thing.
But what is his other name p quered
the lady, "what does your mamma call
him ? "She calls him papa" persisted
the baby. The lady then took the little
one by the hand aud led her along say
ing, "You had better go with ne, | guess
you came from this way" Yes, but |
don't want to 90 back, | want to fnd my
papa" replied the little girl, crying airesh
as if her heart would break "W hat do
you want Of your papa 2" asked the lady
Il want to kiss him" just then sister
of the child came along looking for her
and led her away From the subsequent
inquiries it appeared that the little oue's
papa, whom she was so earnestly in search
of had recently died. In her lonsomeness
and love for him she had tired of waiting
for him to come home, and had sailed out
to find him and kiss him. Could any
thing be more touching and sad

Anecdote of an Elephant.

The Leisure Hour. an English maga-
by Major Brown of the Fortieth regi
meBt;
During the siege of Pondichery, in the
East Indies, by the British army, when
NJ Lally was governor, there, there were
in the French garrison several war ele-
phants all of which except one died from
the scarcity of provisions, and the seuvi-
vor would have shared the fate of his
companions but for his uncommon sagac
ity, which rendered him a favorte with
every one, and the object of general ad
niratiou This animal in the absence of
his keeper, was one day amusing himself
with his chain In an open part OF the
town, wheu a man who had committed a
theft aud was pursued by great number
of people, despairing OF all other means
Of safety, ran for protection under the
elephant. Apparently delighted with
The poor wretche's confidence, the crea
ture instantly faced about and met the
crowd, erected his trunk and threw his
chain 10 the air, as is the manner of these
animals when engaged with the enemy
and became so furious in defense OF the
criminal that, notwithstanding all the
gentle arts made use of by the surround
ing multitude, neither they nor even his
mahout or driver, to whom he was fondly
attached and who was sent for to manage
him, could prevail with him to give up
the maleiactor The contest had con
tinued for about three hours. when at
length the governor, hearing the strange
account Of it, came to the spot, and was
so much pleased with the generous per-
severance of the honest quadruped that
he yielded to the elephants interposition,
and pardonei the criminal. The poor
man, in an ecstasy of gratitude, testified
his ack nowledgmeDts by kissing and EN-
bracing the proboscis of bis kind benefac
tor, who. was apparently so sensible Of
what had happened that, laying aside all
his former violence, he became perfectly
tame and gentle in an instant, aud suf
.ored his keeper tc conduct him away
without the smallest resistance.

Advice to Young Skaters.

Never try to skate in two directions at
once.
Eat few apples for rerrcshment
sake while skating, aud be sure to throw
the cores on the ice Tor fast skaters to
break their shins over.
There is no law to prevent beginner
from sitting down whenever he is SO in
clined
Skate over al! the small boys at once
Knock 'em down. 1t makes great fun
and they like it
If you skate into hole in the ice take
it cooly. Think how you would feel il
the water were boiling hot.
II your skates are too slippery buy a
new pair. Keep buying new pairs until
you 6nI pair that is not slippery.
In ling down do it gradually. Don I
be too sudden you may break the ice.
When you fall headlong examine the
straps of your skates very carefully be
fore YOU getup. That will make every
body think you fell because your skate
was loose
Wear heavy overcoat or cloak until
you get thoroughly warmed up, then
throw it off, and let the wind cool you.
This will insure you fad cold
Alter you get so you can skate tolerably
we'll, skate three or four hours skate
franticaly-skatet till you cam stand.
